VARIOUS REPORTS
REGARDING MUSSOLINI. NO CONFIRMATION OF SUICIDE STORY. (By Telegraph—■‘Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, November 22. The Zurich correspondent of the Stockholm “Dagens Nyheter” says that Mussolini is reported to have committed suicide yesterday at a villa at Lake Garda in a fit of depression. There is no confirmation of this from any other source. According to a report in the “Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,” Mussolini is now living in the villa Feltrinelli, at Fasano, on Lake Garda, and is a sick man in the hands of a German medical specialist. The Duce lives and works on the first and second floors. A park surrounding the villa is patrolled day and night by storm troopers,, who guard the harbour. A reporter who visited the villa was surprised to find no women and no civilians attending Mussolini. Housework and table service are all done by orderlies. The visit of the reporter coincided with a “Cabinet council.” Everybody rose as Mussolini entered, dressed in militia uniform, richly decorated with medals. The Duce assumed his imperatorial attitude, and the traces of exhaustion disappeared from his face, but he was leaner and looked older.
