Taken at Munich

Munich, Sept. 25.

Stringent measures taken to protect Signor Benito Mussolini, who lett Rome yesterday on a visit to Herr Adolf Hitler, include the stopping of all motor-cars on roads leading to Munich. Some cars are stopped and searched three or four times.

The congestion in Munich is so great that hospital rooms had to be vacated to accommodate Nazi officials.

Meanwhile Innsbruck, which Il Duce will pass to-day, resembles an armed camp, with thousands of troops assisting in carrying out safety precautions. AN buildings along the railway line through the Austrian Tyrol have been searched by detectives.

Signor Mussolini is travelling in a train of eleven bullet-proof coaches. His party includes his son-in-law, Count Cíano, Foreign Minister; Signor Starace, Secretary of the Fascist Party; Signor Alfieri, Press Minister; and many high police and departmental officials.—Reuter.
