SCENE IN PARLIAMENT.
ROME, December 1. The King of Italy accompanied by the Queen opened parliament and received a most enthusiatic ovation from the non-Socialists.When the senators and deputies were taking their seats the Socialists raised the cry of "long live Socialiam" and then all left the chamber.
After the Socialists "had departed a striking demonstration. Broke out in the chamber. Their majesties were frantically cheered The demonstration was renewed on the streets on the return of their majesta to the Quirinal. The king appeared thrice on the balcony in response to the acclamations of the crowd.

In the course of his speech from the throne the King affirmed that Italian aspirations in the Adriatic did not conceal, any military design.

MODERN WARFARE
BORDER VILLAGES REDUCED TO DUST.
DATTAKHEL, November 29. The recalcitrant Maddakhel Waziris soon realised the inflexibility of the British terms. No reply to the twenty-four-hour ultimatum being received, by eight o'clock in the morning, within half-an-hour seventeen aeroplanes were flying over Ismail Khel with a full complement of bombs. They unloaded four tons of these on the recalcitrants, descending to a height of 300 feet, and leaving villages mere heaps of dust. Further bombing operations against the Waziris will probably be unnecessary, though a column may march through the Waziri country to impress the tribesmen.
