the younger man had no cause to COM
plain. The cavalry regiment in which
lie is lieutenant has been placed in the
first line on the front.
When he was twenty-five years old
Cadorna was nominated a captain. 1t was
while holding this grade that he pub
hshed among other valuable works q
study Of the fsst period Of the war Of
1870 which attracted the attention Of
the French military chiefs. 1t is not
therefore with an unknown man that the
allied stats have to deal concerning the
general plan Of the present war.
In the upper grades he introduced
modern methods and principles, some
thing that was not easily done. Some
colonies Of the old school did not look
with favorable eyes upon instructions
which upset their own ideas and did
everything in their power to combat
them. But for the younger officers these
instructions always had special charm
and Captain Cadorna, smiling, calm and
persistent, also knew how to counterfeit
the efforts in favor of the old routine
In such q charming manner that the
fruits Of his teachings we're always very
brilliant.
He was finally attached to the staff of
General PANEL, who commanded the
army corps at Verona, and in him he
found a man who knew how to appre-
ciate him and who consequently furn-
ished him the best opportunity for COM
pleting his education and development.
He was one of the most distinguished
a nd wft
doubt one of the most awe-inspiring.
1t was necessary to follow the straight
and narrow path at all times while I'M
der General Pianells orders. An ex-
tremely active man himself, he never
permitted laxity in his subordinates. A
man Of great Information, he was of the
opinion that an officer, like physician,
ought to study all his life and follow the
progress made in his own science.
He was a martinez to the tips Of his
fingers and demanded strict military
manners from his officers. His discipline
was the severest in the Italian army.
From the first Louis Cadorna found de-
light in working under him. He applied
himself with determination, made some
studies relating to the Austro-Italian
frontier which are a marvel of detail and
precision. He published an officers
manual for times Of war which Is a model

able military textbook.
1t happened that in these days Verona
was the center Of some memorable
maneuvers. Bearing in mind the repu-
tation Of General Pianell, the minister Of
war sent under his orders all those divi-
sion generals whom he held in only
mediocre esteem. The ministry was
counting on the inf1exibility and hard
handedness of Pianell, commander of
the blue party, to break them once the
maneuvers were over. Cadorna was
chief of staff of his division.
AS he did everything himself and per-
formed his duties with a rare knowledge
and astounding brightness all the gen.
erals of an inferior order made bril-
liant success and the minister of war
could address them only his best COM
pliments. General Pianell, however, who

nice clothes and no recreation. In

good virtuous woman to be his slave.
1 think there are no sensible women
who would give such a man a second
thought, I am a worker; I possess all
the accomplishments he mentions in
his letter. but, believe me, I wouldn't
marry such a man if ne were the last
one left on earth. A man who marries
a woman to support him, and who is
a slave driver, all belong to the same
class. It is a mans business to sup
port the woman he marries ana not
expect her to support him. and I think
1t is small specimen of a man who
compels or even allows his wife to
take in sewing, washing, etc. shortly
after they are married. OF course,
reyerses often come after marriage:
then q wife should be a helpmate in
keeping the wolf from the door. but
the man who marries with the inten-
tiou of having his wife for a slave in
the home deserves censure. Too many
men expect their wives 10 be strictly
virtuous while they. the men. have
gone the limit and keep it up after
marriage I have more respect for
man who marries a woman from the
street. of his own class than the one
who marries a pure woman while he

read this and think it over. If you
