4 MAN of big things, a man who
~ has carried three ordinary ca
reers to success already at the
still young age of fifty-one, and
one of the biggest of the modern captains
of industry-that is Thomas Coleman
du Pont, the new owner of the EQuita-
BILE Life Assurance Society.
His distinctions in the field of finance
are tremendous. Before he purchased
recently the controlling interest in the
Equita bic he had the distinction Of IN
dertaking the biggest building enterprise
In the world credited to single indi-
vidual. He spent something between
$4,000 900 and $40, 100000 in putting
up a new building for the Equitable
home.
Before that he had won fame and for
tune as the mead of the so called pow
der trust-the Du Pont de Nemcurs
Powder Company. Recently he resigned
from the presidency OF this company and
sold all his HOLDINGS in if for about S20,-
100000. Everybody wondered what the
move meant-what Du Point was going
to do next. There were few who thought
that the erection Of the Equitable build
ing, big task as 1t was, would prove a
sufficient outlet for the energies OF this
man.
OF course, as side Issues he has q
keen interest in the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology, of which he is life
trustee and to which he has given mil
lion dollars. He is presenting his native
state of Delaware with a model $4,000,
600 highway. In his spare times he
amuses himself by building hotels.
For these reasons people who knew
him felt that Du Point had something
more up his sleeve than the building Of
IN insurance company's building. Then
II became known that he was to take
over control OF the Equitable. and would
make every effort to bring about Its mu-
tualization.

mining, agricultural and commercial

1t was during these fifteen years OF
his life that he became one of the first
citizens of Delaware. His influence Is
far-reaching. The number of his family
in and around Wilmington is legion. They
dominate the social life of that neighb9r-
hood Although he has never held any
public office he has welded considerable
power in politics. Since 1904 he has
been chairman of the Republican state
committee of Delaware. and since 1908
a member Of the Republican national
committee. 4

knew the secret of the situation, called
Cadorna, who was then only a colonel.
and said to him, smiling:
my dear colonel. have read all the
reports written by the generals who were
under my command on the subject of the
great maneuvers. Please accept my
sincere compliments"
The confused Cadorna did not know
how to reply and the general continued:
you ought to write manual teach
ing generals how to get the services OF
an exceptional staf officer"
On the day when General Saletta, hav-
ing reached the age limit, was put on the
retired list single voice arose from the
whole Italian army. The position OF
commander-in-chief of the Italian army
could be filled only by Cadorna.
But General Polio received the ap-
pointment. The comments we're end
less. The newspapers mixed themselves
up in the situation and the affair as
sumed the proportion of a political
scandal. OF all who were interested in
the matter General Cadorna was the
only one who did not utter a word. Hav-
ing been appointed to the command Of
the army corps at Genoa, he went to his
friend Polio and offered him his best
services.
When General Polio died a few years
later Cadorna got the position which was
refused him before and with the aid Of
favorable circumstances he took con-
siderable part in the political events Of
these recent times.
Everyone knows in what condition the
Italian army was when Cadorna was
placed at its head. He did everything
possible to revive its energy and to over
come its "slackers." But he found in
General Grand, minister of war, the
stubborn opposition of an official over
come by budgetary difficulties.
1t was necessary to submit to the in
evitable. 1t was another case of disci-
pline. During a few months General
Cadorna did submit. But when the great
war broke out, when Premier Salandra
and the king called him before them in
order to confide to him the task of put
ting the army in war condition and also
to ask his advice on the selection of
new war minister his heart swelled with
Joy.
For eight months he worked night and
day. He gave to everyone about him the
faith that was in his own heart. He has
been the benevolent and tutelary genius
of Italian military politics. 1t was on
this occasion that the two essential
qualities of his character, vivacity and
calm, performed miracles. Everything
was to be done and everything has been
done. The required time was consumed
but not an instant more.
One day General Cadorna said: I'VE
are ready!" He said it with his clear
cut voice, in a decisive and tranquil
tone, his bright eyes smiling, and no one
had the inclination to doubt it for an
instant.
When after the declaration of war he
set out to put himself at the head Of the
rehabilitated army Signor Salandra went
to say good-by to him at the railroad
station. The two men kissed each other
on the cheeks in Italian fashion. There
was in this greeting the satisfaction Of
great work we'll accomplished and at
the same time the promise of a perfect
agreement for task still greater which
has Just begun.

du Pont and is thus distinguished from
his cousin, the senator from Delaware.
Despite the foreign form and sound OF
his name he is a thorough-going Amer
lean. His military title comes from his
position on the staff of the governor of
Delaware, which he has held for long
time.
His French name comes from his
French ancestors, who fed to this
country in 1900 to escape the guillotine.
The head of the family was Pierre Sam
uel du Pont de Nemours, a French econ
omist and author. 1t, was his son who
founded the Du Pont powder industry,
putting the first mill on the Brandywine
river, near Wilmington, Del, in 1902.
Today the fifth generation owns con-
Germ which has hundred or more mills
in different parts of the United States.
General du Point, however, was not
born to the powder business as might
be supposed, nor was he born rich, His
father, feeling that there was not room
in the Du Pont business for all the sons
of the Du Pont name, went to Louisville.
KY, where he took up the trade Of max
ing paper.
Coleman went to school and college
there and received a mining engineers
degree. His first business experience was
in coal mining. which he abandoned for
the development Of traction companies.
When Eugene du Pont. president Of the
Du Pont company, died in 1902. several
of the younger members Of the family
were asked to become interested In the
concern.

secured holdings In the company after

also the warm love Of the Italian people
and the soldiers in the ranks.
The nature Of Count Louis Cadorna,
like his career, can be summed up In
two apparently contradictory words
vivacity and calm.
It is said that whom he was at the
military college at Milan. which he en-
tered at the age OF ten years. he was con-
stantly In the discipline chamber. He
was . bright pupil. nevertheless-one
filled with determination. intelligence
and Of quick comprehension.
Together with the highest marks he
earned reprimands without end. 1t was
impossible for him to keep quiet He
was lightning quick at repartee and he
maintained his ideas tenaciously.
It is to the rigorous discipline of his
own will that he owes his present steadi-
ness and calm. The undisciplined child
has become Q cool-headed officer at the
highest military post. He has been able
to pass through the toughest periods
without ninching. without being carried
away and without allowing q word Of dis
content or recrimination to pass his lips.
Gayly and calmly he has followed his
route. certain Of attaining his object.
When opinions clash. when discussions
become heated. when Irritating words
cross each other In the air. Louis Ca
dorna smiles roguishly. The smile is
like rainbow in the sky defying tenn
pest. He settles the question with few
clear words decisive and well-thought
out,
One feels that the opinion he expresses
10 based on . sure conviction and that
he will not change 1t no matter what
happens. One feels likewise that he
never for Q moment doubts that he has
sufficient strength to overcome his OPP
ponents. This is why one Of his friends
has said, This devil Of a man is SO VIC
lent there is no use disputing with him."
At the very start of his career he had
Q chance to give q fine proof of disci-
pline. In 1870 when he was twenty
years old and a lieutenant he was at
tached to the staff of his father. who was
commanding the army division at Flor
ence. The father was named comman-
der-in-chief of the army which was to
take Rome in the maneuvers.
Here was something to rejoice the
heart OF . brilliant young oficer burn
Ing with desire to win honor for him
self. But the old general. fearing that
the presence of his son on his staff might
be interpreted as an act Of favoritism.
promptly discharged him.
Louis was bitterly disappointed but
did not protest. So we'll did he under
stand and retain the lesson that the very
day war was declared on Austria he sent
his own son, who was the ordnance
officer, to rejoin his regiment. This time
