ITALIAN LEADER
GREAT GENERAL
Intimate Sketch Of the Man Who
Has Beaten His Enemy's
Military Machine.
LUIGI CADORNA'S Big RECORD
He Has Nodded an Army That Drives
AustrIans Out Of Alps Mountains
In. Hardest Campaign Of World
Conflict During Summer.

Rome.-It Is said in the little italian
water town Of Pallanza on the border
Of the Lago Maggiore, away up toward
the Swiss Alps, where LomRardy and
Piedmont meet, that some years ago
q learned German with a particular In
terest in heraldry paused at some
length before q weather-beaten crest
embossed In a quaint Old-fashioned
doorway. and observed to those in his
company:
Remarkable - most remarkable.
The composition Of this coat Of arms
points to q line Of fate running In the
same family from father to son, and
to tremendous achievements to crown
the family tree. I wouldn't care to be
pitted against the star Of that fam
ily."
And he marched himself OF, growl-
Ing:
Remarkable, most remarkable !"
But Il never occurred to him to ask the
name Of the family who had once gone
through the deserted gateway, nor, at
the time, did his reflection strike his
italian host as anything but q freak
Of ''kultur."
Time has proved that the German
was right for once. The star and the
oak tree and what not that had struck
his fancy 80 are the crest Of the Ca
dOrna, who come from poor but I'M
sullied provincial nobility, with two
chief ideals running in the family:
Faith in God and devotion to Italy.
The present General Cadorna's grand
father was minister to King Carlo Al
bertO, who led the movement for Ital-
ian independence. granted the cOnstltu-
ton to his kingdom (then restricted to
Piedmont and Gardlnia), abdicated In
favor Of his son when he thought that
such q course Of action would help the
formation Of new Italy, and died an
exile at Oporto. General CadOrna's IA
Their, Gen. Count Raffaele CadOrna, led
In 1853 the Italian advance on the
IsonzO, which was cut short by diplo-
matte interferenAp and the subsequent

of an Italian city sent word that his
constituents had an Italian flag ready
for GorItz. CadOrna dismissed the
subject with whimsical smile.
"Tell him to put It away In drawer
for now"
But when. about one year later, Go
ritz was taken, the mayor received
this rather cryptic telegram from the
general himself:
"You may now send along that OBJ
ject. Cadorna."
Which rather reminds you OF
Dante's famous answer about the egg
with salt, at one years distance.
On New Years day Of 1915, an ac-
auaIntance sent him, with good wishes,
the offering Of q shaggy fur coat, and
the general answered accepting "the
fleece" as q good omen "for the con-
quest Of our ideal golden fleece" and
added: "But then, you know, in ia
son's time there were no barbed-wire
fences nor other internal devices, and
It was possible to step more lively"
Which, by the way, is q mighty good
hit at the closet-critics Of the war.
II is characteristic Of the general
that such q gift he may accept with a
smile; but he definitely valves any
collective token or demonstration.
Knowing his affection for his native
place, and his regret at circumstances
having compelled his father to part
with the family homestead, It was pro-
posed to purchase and present to him
the house by national subscription.
He stopped that, and desired the pro-
ceeds to be given to the home for mu-
tilated soldiers and victims Of the war.
Other demonstrations were similarly
thwarted, but II is believed that he
will not refuse to accept q sword once
owned by Garibaldl, since It Is planned
to present It to him Eat the end Of the
war;"
II a general proves unfit he Is "tor-
pedoed" on the spot; II soldier shows
the right stun, he is rewarded. his
constant preoccupation Is: "Find the
men who have the stun. With such
men as the Italians, first values must
have been developed during the war;
find them and put them up"
His ruddy. genial, open countenance,
his bOylsh freedom Of movement and
gesture, interestingly contrasting with
the wilderness of hair and mustache {;
his clear, forceful voice and the def
mite, resolute things that 1t expresses,
with breezy sense Of vitality that Is
quite refreshing to the nearer, all
come In for a share in the exceptional
ly attractive personality Of this "gen-
tleman warrior" who, as a young lieu
tenant In 1870 stood by his father and
helped him give Rome to Italy, and as
q mature leader Of men may or may
not give Trieste to Rome In 1917, but
will forever stand In the eyes Of Italy
and the light Of the world as the true
representative Of the righteous fight OF
Latin civilization against the barbarlc
brutality Of the Huns.

They had been established there for
only three days when the fire broke
out and now they are without a

for their machines and supplies. The
location of this building is not made
public as yet, but as soon as the deal
is closed it will be announced. They
are now maintaining a service sta
ton back of the Satterlee's real es-
tate office, and it is under the super
vision Of Austin Deering.

Whatever may be the name OF the new
German commerce destroyer if there is
but one at large. she must prove her

destructive record of the Alabama. That

The cruises of the Alabama carried
her up and down the north Atlantic and

Alabama did not rank high as ship of

ments of the next twenty months. They
may be partly foreign and partly do
mestic. Or they may be wholly the one
or the other. Affairs are in that state
now that anything might happen.
But, come what may, there is one thing
the republicans cannot blink and should
not attempt, and that is that, whether
they organize the Sixty-fifth House or
not, their course in that body will have
much to do with their prospects in 1918.
They must make good. That is to say,
gressive course in matters of policy, but
present united front in opposition to
the democrats If not. if their divisions
continues if factonism grows stronger
as the result of fresh clashes, then, OF
course, their appeal i'll the next congress
sional campaign will go for nothing. Tie
country will not commit its affairs to the
control of a party which has acquired
the habit of internal wrangling.
The Importance of the campaign of
1918 will be great. for the result may
foreshadow the result of the presiden-
tial race two years later. On that ac-
count we shall see thorough prepara-
tions made and strenuous efforts put
forth by both sides to strengthen them
selves for the race of 1920, upon which
so very much will depend.

structive capacity the Alabama main
tanned large lead over the other ships
of the Confederate navy; the Alabama
was credited with the capture of sixty
nine ships. Her nearest competitor was
the Florida with thirty-seven captures
to her credit, closely followed by the
Shenandoah. with record of thirty SIX
merchant prizes. After the Shenandoah
came the Tallahassee, with twenty nine
captures; the Sumpter. with eighteen,
and the Tacony, with fifteen. The num-
Der of American ships known to have
been taken prize by these commerce de
stroyers was 900, though the record is
believed TO be incomplete. The sailing,
or steaming, time of the Emden and
other commerce destroyers was meas
ured in weeks, while the Alabama,
known by the Lairds at Birkenhead, her
builders, as "290,' slipped out of the

Bull Moosery, East and West.

If those bull moosers who are now dis
gruntled-it matters not if they voted
for or against Mr.. Hughes-hold the con-
ference that is proposed they should
discuss the past as we'll as the future.
The past-the immediate past-needs,
indeed, good deal of clearing up
George w. Perkins and his friends in
the east supported Mr.. Hughes, and as
sisted materially in carrying that sec
tion for the republican candidate. Pre-
sumably the Chicago platform was as
acceptable to them as the nominee
standing on it. Both were progressive
enough to satisfy bull moose ideas of
progressiveness.
But in the west, as events showed,
there was widespread bull moose discon-
tent with the republican national ticket.
In Kansas the republican candidate for
governor had an enormous plurality,
while MIR. Wilson carried the state. In
Washington the republican candidate for
senator polled an unprecedented vote,
while Mr.. Wilson carried the state. In
California, while the republican candi-
date for senator swept everything be-
and losing the state he lost the presi-
dency.
This has never been explained to the
satisfaction either of the eastern bull
moosers or the eastern republicans Are
Mr.. Perkins and his friends still curious
about it' Without an explanation that
explains. are they willing to join hands
with these western men for action in
1920 in behalf of either candidate or a
platform,
The treatment of Mr.. Hughes by the
west on election day was peculiar. for
two reasons. As a section elassed as re-
3iably republican. there was no good rea-
son why it should not give its support
this time, as usual, to the party candi-
date
In the second place. Mr.. Hughes had
received his most conspicuous boost for
the nomination from the west Oregon,
without visit from him or an author
lied appeal in his behalf. had expressed
preference for him so early in the pre-
convention campaign. his stock in the
east reflected the compliment That the
west would stand fast on election day
seemed certainty.
But it was the west that slumped Re-
publican faetionism out there was re-
newed in the thick of the conflict; and
while the east was rolling up big

New Jersey in particular-the west was
rolling up a big vote for Wilson. and
giving him the election.

The Senate leadership.

The west and the south are in friendly
ate, which Mr. Kern relinquishes
March f. Mr.. Walsh of Montana is the
western candidate, Mr.. Martin of Nir-
ginia the southern. The former is a
new man. the latter veteran, in the
Senate Mr. Martin is in the middle of
his fourth term. Both are competent
men, and personally popular.
Mr.. Walsh achieved considerable repu-
tation in the recent campaign. He was
one of the managers of Mr.. Wilson's
western interests, and received credit
for part of the western result. He is
on very cordial terms at the White
House.
Mr.. Martin is strong by reason of his
score of years in the Senate. all well
marked with good work. He has held
the leadership of his party when it was
in the minority in that body. He is
conservative in his views. and yet in
full accord with all well recognized
democratic policies. He is good nego
tiator-a quality which by reason of the
House situation will be valuable in the
leader of the Senate in the new Con-
gress. When disputed points in meas
ures are sent to conference between the
two houses, and the vote in either house
is close, good advice on general lines
from party leaders is valuable.
The north is not competitor in this
matter. The democrats of that section
lost last fall. Mr.. johnson of Maine
was defeated by republican. Mr..
O'Gorman of New York, who did not
offer for reelection. will yield place to

retires to private life in favor Of re-
publican. Mr.. Taggart has already re-
tired, and Mr. Kern follows in March.
These men came in on wave of un-
rest created largely by republican di
visions. The row over the passage of
the Payne tariff revision had given the
democrats their first opportunity in
years; and they seized it with success
They were winners in 1910. not only as
respected Congress, but in many state
contests, and followed up that triumph
by preparing for 1912, when the repub-
3icans again helped them to victory.
BY last fall. however, the republicans
outside the west had pulled themselves
together. and in November recovered
national affairs: and this has left the
democrats north of Mason and Dixon's
line with only few seats in the Senate

The Sixty-Sixth Congress.

Some republican politicians are talk
ing in this strain: 1--WE shall carry the
next. the Sixty sixth House without a
doubt, and by large majority The
democrats cannot make good. As they
did not produce the prosperity upon
which they traded in the recent cam
paign, they cannot. of course, continue
it; and when the ebb begins, which will
probably be shortly, they will go out
with the tide"
The most confident feeling entertained
by the republicans at the beginning of
last years campaign related to Congress.
They conceded that the President was
stronger than his party, and would give
them run for their money. But of
Congress they entertained no doubt.
They fixed their majority in the House
somewhere near hundred, and claimed
even the Senate, where a majority of
sixteen substantial for that body
stared them in the face.
The returns were a great disappoint-
ment. The House was a drawn battle.
and the democratic majority IN the Sen
ate was reduced by only four The rea-
