RUMORS MOOUNT tCuattPunl From Page _ D lion difficulties were other causes cited by Mussolini to (he prefereels. Last year's unsatlafactory harvest wa* *uid by .Mussolini to have compiled him t'* reduce food rations io an absolute rlnimum. particularly bread. He was said to have promised, however, that "measure* will he adopted guaranteeing bread for ull Italy" and thai other new measures will prevent Inflation. In conclusion of his speech Mussolini was said by the Rome radio to have asaeried ihat the same discipline must he enforced for worker* known In London to be grumbling about the war—a* for soldiers. An exchange telegraph agency dispatch from Switzerland Jid that Mussolini has given to the Fascist prefect* special powers to take appropriate measure* In regard to food rationing. Recently there have been many Italian complaints of food profiteering to which Mussolini undoubtedly referred In his complaints about "fraud” In today’s speech. Due report circulating 111 London said that King Victor Emmanuel wanted to get rid of Mussolini and sound out the possibilities of peace. Official quarters here discourage such reports They are aware that morale is low In Italy, that the Italians hate the Germans and resent their presence, hut do not believe the opposition has the strength to throw out Mussolini or the Germans. Recent dispatches from Turkey have suggested that some quarters in Italy are waiting for summer, when Germany is fighting with ull its strength in Russia, lo make some move. o Health Council Is Orqanized Tuesday 1 ■ I The Adams county civilian health | council met last evening at the Ad- , am* county memorial hospital and organized. 4t was the first meeting of the council, since its appointment.
