DIAZ-THE MAN OF THE HOUR
BY r. z. RENAuo

Though the whole world IL ringing

creator OF the greatest victory his
people have celebrated since they
were knit together in a modern ma
ton, he is one of the least known men
in Italy. Too short q time in supreme
command OF the army to have gather
ed about him the tradition of anecdote
woven around most successful gem
erals, his own reticence and modesty
have kept him somewhat out OF the
public eye.
Yet his personal characteristics are
clearly illustrated in the battle which
has just been fought. More than any
thing else 1t seemed to be the almost
instant reaction of the Italians. their
extraordinary promptness to attack
from defensive positions, which dis
organized the Austrian invasion, piled
1t UP like a railroad wreck in the
mountains and left 1t stranded on
the banks of the Piave at Monticello.
This certain suddenness" is General
Diaz to a IT" Moreover the readiness
of the Italians was obviously not i'm

which cost Italy nearly all the gains
she had won in the war and much of
her own territory. it was said to have
been central Italian troops and large
~ Neapolitans who succumbed to
enemy propaganda and broke before
the German attack. Yet General Diaz
is a Neapolitan born under the shadow
of Vesuvius fifty-six years ago. If
Naples felt a special concern for the
catastrophe at Caporetto she also has
cause for special rejoicing over the
victory on the Piave

General Diaz comes Of a noble fam

Spanish origin and the Italian branch
doubtless dates from one of the fire.
quent Spanish invasions of centuries
ago when Italy was the battlefield for
the world
Like Generals F'och and Petain,
General Diaz began his career as an
artilley officer. He was educated at
the famous military academy of Turin
and was graduated as a second lieu
tenant of artillery, in which branch
of the service he remained until he
was made captain. But there is in
Italy q still higher education for army
officers known as the School of War
for which sixty pupils are selected
every year from the entire army Cen
eral Diaz was one of these sixty and
year after year was among the few
chosen to serve on the general staff
He remained with the general staff
practically throughout his career ex-
cept when, re-estabIishing contact
with the troops, he served as com
mander of a battalion of infantry and
later of a regiment. On the general
staff he was for long time head Of

first battle OF Zanzur June s, 1922,
that he proved his quality as q COM
mander Of sharp decision. The main
Italian positions had been assailed
by the fanatical Arabs in six success
sive waves and the troops were in Inn
minent danger of giving way. It
was then that Colonel Diaz. posted on
the left with hts regiment. delivered
an impetuouS bayonet charge upon the
right flank of the enemy, throwing
him into confusion and carrying the
day for the Italians. Colonel Diaz
was also present at the second battle
Of Zanzur. 1t was these two great
actions, the most important OF ths
Libyan war, that decided the issue
and after the second victory peace
was signed by Turkey within month.
AT the beginning of the present war
General Diaz was head Of the office
of operations at the supreme COM
mand. He showed himself such an ex-
cellent organizer with so much direct
ing genius that he was naturally in
line for the chief commandership
when the disaster in the mountains
necessitated a change of leaders.
Fought Way Across Carso.
Before this. however, he held COM
mand Of the eighteenth army corps
OF the third army, including the ia
nous brigade OF grenadier guards and
the Lario brigade, which SO distin-
guished themselves on the Carso. The
Carso is a high and desolate plateau
between Gorilla and the Adriatic sea.
By the middle of last summer the
Italians under General Diaz had
forced their lines half way across It
In the direction Of Trieste. The fight
ing became very fierce at the little
village of Selo and at the Dosso F'aitt
a strong position which formed bas-
ton for the Austrian right flank. But
General Diaz' men in repeated and
ferocious drives took both places.
They We're holding them when the
detection of a part OF the second army
far to the north of them forced a re-
treat of the whole line right back
and down to the plains of Venetia.
General Diaz is described as ex-
tremely likable by all who know him.
He is somewhat under medium height
and rather dark, with black hair and
cropped mustache now turning to
gray He is a constant smoker but his
manner strikes the observer as calm
and even contemplative except when
he is issuing orders when he becomes
most incisixe and direct However,
he is not a great talker and is known
as a man of few words and those con-
else and meaty. His brain seems to
be both analytic and synthetic, for
he not only knows how to plan with
the greatest elaboration but has the
faculty of getting his orders executed
at once and down to the last detail.
Like General Foch he believes firmly
in the offensive and holds that no
army which is not aggressive at the
right moment can hope TO win.
Since the battle of the Piave Cen
eral Diaz has already been advanced
seventy numbers. However, it is al
most certain that he will be raised
from lieutenant general TO the posi-
ton Of generate desereito." There
are at present only two men in Italy
holding that rank One is the king
and the other is General Caneva who
commanded the italian armies during
the Iibyan war.

LARGE QUANTITIES
OF FOOD Crops co
TO WASTE ANNUALLY

II is lamentable fact that large
quantities of food crops go to waste
every year because there is no inn
mediate market, says the State Mar
ket bureau, besides that products too
often go to market poorly graded
and packed.
Attention has been attracted OF late
TO the preservation OF fruits and veg
etables by drying or dehydrating pro-
cesses. The drying OF vegetables may
seem strange to the present genera
ton, but in the days of our grand
fathers and grandmothers it was no
novelty.
And it should not be n novelty to
present day consumers who daily see
in the stores many kinds of dried
products. raisins, prunes, apricots, figs,
dates, etc, staples in the worlds mar
kets, as also beans. peas, coffee, tea
and various manufactured goods, like
starch, tapioca, macaroni, as products
OF drying operations.
most prominent feature of the
food conservation program of Euro
pean countries has been the universal
drying of fruits and vegetables. Ger
many is said to dry no less than eight
hundred million bushels of potatoes a
quantity double the entire yield of the
United States. The surplus of vege-
tables in the city markets are taken
by the governments into large mu-
nicipal drying plants. Community
driers are established in the trucking
regions and even itinerant drying ma
chimes are sent from farm to farm
drying vegetables which otherwise
would have gone to waste. In addition
large quantities of dried vegetables
from Canada and this country have
been shipped to France during the
last two years and there is pos
sibility that dried fruits and yegeta-
bles may continue to be shipped
abroad in considerable quantities to
supplement the concentrated food diet
of the men in the trenches
Florida is a large producer OF per
ishable fruits and vegetables Some
thing can be grown in our state in
every month. in fact growing things
of use can be made a continued per-
formance But to save them is the
rub. Necessity pointed the way in
Europe
Let us take time to fore1ock. Con-
gress has voted an appropriation OF
$3.50, oee to aid in the building OF dry
ing plants in various parts of the
country. Florida has chance to share
