Hess became the general officer OF his star Then
commenced an era Of glorious victories. Hess,
, ickinded the aiHor Of his chief, and
himself conceived the battle of Santa i4ucia. IT,,
was thus that he e,eaed his military genius by an
admirable 0peration--the concentration of troops
az ound Mantua, which had been reduced by the

HEss's sTsATTGICAL QUALITIES.
1t was in this campaign especially that Hess gave
proofs of his strategic qualities. The Piedmontese
stronger in number had concentrated their forcesN
between Noyaia, Vefceili and vivegano, and ad-
vanced another corps on the other side Of Parma
and towards the Pc, to take the Austrians
in the rear. Radetzky wished to open the road Of
Turin across the positions of the enemy. and it was
