ITALY'S LEADERS
ON LAND AND SEA
General Cadorna Began His Military
Career at the Age of 15-Ac-
cepted the Post of Chief of Staff
After Naming Conditions.
BY ADALBERTo CAPoRALE

GENERAL LUIGI CADoRNA, Chief OF the
VI General STAFF, who has Just been given
the supreme command Of the Italian military
forces belongs to a family Of soldiers and
statesmen. He was born in Pallanza, a little
town Of the beautiful coast Of the Lago
Maggiore, the son Of General Raffaele Ca
dorna, who had fought vaiantly in the war
of independence and finally was intrusted
with the command of the army sent In 1870
TO take possession Of Rome. and the nephew
Of Carlo Cadorna. who was a member of
several Cabinets during the reign Of King
Carlo Alberto
Born September 4. 1850, Luigi Cadorna be-
gan early in life his military career, entering
the Academy of Turin in 1865, when he was
barely is years old. Three years later he re-
ceived from the academy the rank of second
lieutenant of the General staff and was at
tached TO the 9Th regiment of artillery leav-
ing 1t two years later to be attached to the
office of the General staff of the army.
When General Polio. the Chief of the Cen
eral staff, who had been in charge for sew
eral years Of the reorganization of the army
and had prepared the country for the war
with Turkey died after short Illness, the
commanders Of army corps unanimously sug-
gested to the King the appointment of Cen
eral Cadorna the man best fitted and best
prepared to take charge of the General STAFF,
to which the task of a new reorganization
Of the army, after the war with Turkey, had
fallen. He accepted willingly, but imposed
some conditions: the Minister Of War should
not block his plans, which. of course called
for new heavy expenditures, nor should his
plans be blocked by the Premier or the Minis
ter of the Treasury. Signor Salandra accept
ed; the Minister of the Treasury of the time.
Signor Rubini. resigned and later on the
Minister of War, General Grandi, who had
listened to the economy speeches of Signor
RubIni, resigned, too, and was replaced by
General Zupeli who enjoyed the full
fidence of the Chief of the Staff.
The appointment of General Cadorna was
commented upon very favorably by the Ital-
ian press, and 1t was predicted then that he
would bring the army soon to a condition
which rendered it possible to declare war
upon Austria, should the events of the Euro
pean war make such move imperative.
Such Is the man who has been put at the
head of the Italian army against Austria,
man of strong will and of more than suff-
cient preparation, acquired in the close study
of military history from point of view Of a
technical man and critic and completed in
these last few months by the close observa-
tion of the developments of the war west and
east of Germany.

Passions That Brook No Trifinr

THERE is no law which Justlfes a wronged
i girl in shooting her betrayer when he re-
fuses to marry her, The crime is murder with
extenuating circumstances
There is no law, either which prevents
worthy men and women from sympathizing
with Ida Riehl In her grievous predicament.
No girl can be overtaken by a more terrible
tragedy than that in which she found herself
enveloped before she used her fathers re-
volver. The most happily married woman
needs care and consideration when she is I'm
the condition of this girl, The married woman
looks forward to the outcome with pride and
delight She is honored and society honors
her. But this poor unwed girl saw future dis
grace staring her In the face and understood
the questions which the child would ask and
her inability TO answer them as they should
be answered. Her reason deserted her and
murder followed. The double tragedy must
make every mother heart bleed.
1t ought to teach the thoughtless something
of the consequences OF trihing with the great
fundamental passions We may reason about
1t as we will; the fact remains that outraged
human instincts are more powerful than rea-
son and sometimes make our logical formulas
seem petty and ineonsequentiaL

ITALY IN THE GREAT WAR

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sr-"What Can Italy Do in Europes Big
War;" a heading that greatly surprised
us in last Fridays EVENING LEDGER Being
daily readers of your valuable paper, and hav-
Ing studied the Italian situation very closely
up to date, we have come to the conclusion that
Mr. Frank II. SiTonds the author of the article
bearing the above heading. was wrong and we
thought we would point out few of his mis-.
takes.
First of ALL Mr.. Simonds does not know Italy's
plans in case of And, therefore, he should
not have stated that Italy would not be able to
take up the road to Vienna Budapest with
the opening of hostlitles.
1t is clear that reinforcements are badly need
ed by the Italians. Conceivably an army sent
by the Allies will be sent against the Austrian
Tyro in an effort to oust the Austrians.
The Germans will not easily a corner

and they should not be well equipped and
trained. as Mr. Simonds says but they already
noughts will bring much help actually needed
by the Allies. The Italian army also enters the
conflict with reputation already made in
Abyssna and Tripoli. II did much to win the
respect of the soldiers of the world on account
of its gentlemanly acts, which may not be said
of Germany.
The following are Italy's probable reasons for
entering the war zone: How was IL possible for
Italy to believe promises made by Germany.
when the latter has gaily and without hesi-
fancy. without even thinking twice, violated the
treaties that obliged her to respect the neu-
traty OF Belgium and Luxemberg? How could
Italy have faith in a Government that was
guilty of the Lusitania disaster and which did
not hesitate to murder women and children for
the sake of sinking war material destined 10

The knights Templar ConelaYs

THERE are about 225,OOO knights TempIar

more than one-quarter OF them are in this

as one sees them In the streets one gets the
impression that they are all here
1t may be interesting to those not familiar
with the order to know that a man cannot be
a knight Templar unless he is Master
Mason and a Royal Arch Mason in good
standing. The order dates back to the 18th
century and the period of the Crusaders 1t
has had an interesting and picturesque his
tory. The uniform worn at present is a sur
vival from the time OF it's early origins, modi-
ned. of course, by modern conditions
The men who wear that uniform in the
parade today are among the worthiest citizens
Of the Commonwealth, and constitute an
army united for the preservation OF high
standards and moral efficiency. They are
most welcome. and every Philadelphian
hopes that they may find their stay here

A Biz Thing to Be Done in bic May

NN ONE fact. anyhow ali Americans agree:
" We need and must have steamship lines
to Latin America
The President pictures condition that
does not exist. Unless private capital will
straightway 70 into this business the Gov
eminent must, he asserts. How did Eng
land get the Lustania? BY liberal aid from
the Government So the United States, by
liberal mail contracts or other means. must
encourage private capital to undertake this
venture. II is the function Of the Govern
ment to assist. not to do wholly, and assist
ance only is asked of It. 1t is ime for Con-
gress to quit viewing an American ship with
= the aversion usually accorded rattlesnake.
Our policy is fundamentally wrong in
many ways; in none than in the
outlawing of railways as shipowners. 1t
would be desirable, not an undesirable,
thing for a great road to be able to trans
port goods over it's own lines from ST. Louis
10 Buenos Aires. 1t is time to get away
from the antiquated idea that big things
can be done in little way
Secondly since the nation is certainly to
embark a broader naval policy, there
should be an increase of training facilities
for naval officers. There are naval plants at
Portsmouth and Pensacola which could be
adapted to this purpose, and school should
be established on the Pacific Coast In this
manner an ample supply of officers for mer-
chantmen. instantly available in time OF
war to officer the naval reserve, would be
obtained.
One of two alternatives must be accepted
by the Government. 1t must either beralize
the navigation laws and put our ships on
an equality with those of our competitors
or II must equalize conditions by subsidies,
direct indirect. The former course the
unions will never permit nor would public
sentiment generally indorse 1t. The second
course is feasible, has been proved practical
by other nations, would be certain OF sue
cess and is inevitable
The trade of Latin America is the per-
manent prize we are after. We cannot get
1t without ships. Let us. then. get the ves-
sells by all means, without further mouth
ing about 1t, We have the shipyards, we
have the money, we have the men. Private
investors want fighting chance. 1t is the
duty OF the Government to give It TO them.

German Merchant Ships Are Free to Go

German Merchant Ships Are Free to Go
FTiHE assumption that the Government must
i prevent the German merchant ships. Prinz
Oskar and Rhaetia, tied up at Pier 40, from
putting out to sea is unfounded. The ships are
remaining in port, not through any compul-
sion from Washington, but because of the
discretion of their owners. They are not "in-
termed" in the meaning that word has in in
ternational law. They are simply remaining
here as safe refuge. II they should put
out to sea they would expose themselves to
capture The Government does not care
whether they stay or CO. They are as free
to take cargo of munitions OF war as
any British ship So long as they remain
unarmed they are merchant craft to which
every neutral port in the world is OPEN
The crowds on the water front, which were
excited when the ships moved out into the
stream and turned around were dilatlng with
the wrong emotion, Just as they appealed to
the wrong authority when some individuals
called on the fire department to send out
engines TO prevent the violation of our neu-
tralIty
