reached his sixty-seyenfh birthday an.
niversary recently. IL was in an old
mansion at PalianZa that the now IA.
nous commander first saw the light
of day on September 4, 1850. His
family belongs TO the oldest Italian
aristocracy, and has long been cele-
brated in a military way. His father,
who was a count as we'll as a brilliant
general, led the Italians against the
Austrians in the war of 1S4S, and
had the honor of heading the troops
which restored Rome to Italy in 1870.
At the age of 10 the General Ca
dorna of today entered the cadet
school of Milan, where he is said To
lave distinguished himself for his in
teIligence and yiVacity OF character.
Upon leaving the college he was APP
pointed TO the staff of the division OF
Florence, which was then commanded
by his father. He was made a captain
in 1875 and major in 1888. During
the ensning ten years, until he at
tanned the rank of colonel in 1892,
there took place several important
maneuyers, in which Major Cadorna
took a prominent part. II was during
this period also that he acquired the
exact knowledge of Italy's northern
frontiers which has proved him in
snch good stead during the present
conflict.
After serving six years as colonel
OF the famous Tenth Corps OF Ber-i
saglieri, Cadorna was raised to the
rank of major-general.
General Cadorpa has published sew

characterized by clearness and lucid

knowledge of the writer.
The general has reputation not
only as brilliant tactician.. but as
an able leader Of men, in whom the
soldiers have the fullest and most
complete confidence He has a tall
and elegant figure, with an ease in
his movement that indicates the prac.

Coupled with a keen and acute in

American Troops
Close to Trenches
In Intensive Work

American Training Camp in France,
July 23.(By the Associated Press.)
The American troops today began
intensive bayonet, hand grenade,
trench mortar and machine gun prac-
tice and will devote two hours daily
to these branches of modern warfare.
The Individual reginiental officers have
decided to adopt the French system of
selecting the most efficient men for
fighting, the less efficient for the most
enormous camp duties, such as cook
ing and cleaning up. Accordingly,
each corporal will be allowed to bid
for fifteen men, who in his estimation
are the most alert and have the best
record, to compose his squad. Each
company's best men will be determin-
ed in this manner, and those not asked
for by the non-commissioned officers
will be RELOCATED to camp duties. Ev-
cry succeeding day reveals the need of
skilled interpreters and a hurry call
has gone to Paris for Frenchmen who
know English or Americans who know
French.
The officers are feeling the need of
better banking facilities than exist

figures and facts, the area being only
100000 acres, population about $4,000
with an assessed valuation of S9,000,4

counties it viii be seen that acre for
acre it has more improvements than
any county in the state.
The road system of Pinellas county
as now completed has already demon
strated the value of good highways
and especially shows the necessity OF
unity of purpose in laying out high
ways. All parts of the country are
well served and connected with brick
roads, the total mileage including the
streets in the towns and cities is 14G
miles. The location Of the highways
the adjoining counties were
considered from standpoint of the
continuous highway of good alignment

new improvements are now being
made in every part of the county and

Goethals and Denrnan
Both Loose Their Job

row to an abrupt termination today
by eliminating the two principals

board, and Maj.-Gen. George Goethals,
manager of the boards emergency
fleet corporation, in charge of con-
struction. -
The resignation of General Goethals,
rendered some days ago, was accepted,
and Mr.. Denman was asked by the
president to follow suit, that the gov
ernment's building program might go
forward without embarrassment.
Edward N. Hurley, of Chicago, for
mer chairman of the Federal Trade
commission, was named by the presi-
dent to become chairman of the board.
cambridge Colby of New York was
appointed successor to Capt John B.
White, of Kansas City, another board
member whose resignation, offered to
the president a month ago, also was
accepted. Rear-Admiral Washington
L. Caps, chief constructor of the
navy, will succeed General Goethals
as manager of the feet corporation,
taking immediate charge of the build
ing program.
The nomination of Mr.. Hurley and
Mr.. Colby went to the senate this
afternoon and were referred to the
commerce committee. Their prompt
confirmation was predicted by both
Democratic and republican leaders.
Mr. Denman sent his resignation to
the white house Immediately after re-
ceipt of the presidents letter request
ing it. The presidents action mani
testify took him by surprise, but his
only comment was this:
"It was the best way to settle the
