MR. CHAMBERLAIN GIVEN REMARKABLE SPONTANEOUS WELCOME IN ROME
Rome, To-day. Bugles sounded as the special train in which Mr. Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax travel- led from Genoa entered the lavishly decorated station at 4.25 yesterday afternoon (local -time).
Dense crowds gave a full-throated ovation as Mr. Chamberlain, Mussolini, Count Ciano (Italian Foreign Minister) and Lord Halifax warmly shook hands.
During the playing of "God Save the King," which the Grenadiers Band played before the Italian Anthem, British residents sang so lustily that the band was almost inaudible.
Mussolini (who arrived at the
station at 4.15) wore the black
overcoat of the Corps of Fascists, JEALOUS HUSBAND
and was accompanied by a guard of thirty Musketeers.
While waiting, Mussolini was in evident good humour, and chatted with Lord Perth, the British Am- bassador, Count Dino Grandi, Ita- lian Ambassador in London, and the South African Minister.
FINE WEATHER
ADVISED BY MAGISTRATE
An alleged attack on a Chinese in Shanghai Street by a Chinese constable No. C633 and another man, was this morning heard at the Kowloon Court.

It is estimated that from 40,000 to 50,000 people were massed the precincts of the station.
Twenty minutes after reaching the Villa Madama, Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Halifax drove to the Quirinal, where they signed the Golden Re- gister, and at 6 o'clock they were received by Mussolini at the Palazzo Venezia.
SCENES OF ENTHUSIASM There were wonderful scenes of enthusiasm outside the Palazzo Venezia when Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Halifax arrived.
The Square was packed with 100,- 000 people who cheered heartily. Mr. Chamberlain waved his silk hat and seemed extremely pleased. No troops or police were in evidence, as is usually the case on such occasions.
The Romans' welcome to the Bri- tish statesmen has certainly been friendly, good-natured and spon taneous,
and there is a cheerful happy atmosphere among the crowds.
MAN WHO SAVED PEACE As there had been no official in- vitation to the public in the press to welcome the visitors, people had gathered entirely of their own free will to see the British statesman, who is remembered by everyone here as the man who helped to save the peace of Europe in September.
