YESTERDAY AND TODAY

Yesterday Uncle Sam was smashing
the railroads into small units and to-
day he is preparing to operate them
as the largest trust in the world.
Yesterday it was fashionable to see
how much you could waste and then
indirectly brag about "the things one
really and truly must have TO get
on with" while today multi-milion-
aires are eating corn bread.
Yesterday all the blatheskites point
ed to big business such as Bethlehem
Steel and Baldwins as a public men
ace, but today we hail them as savors
of our country.
Yesterday hundreds of men | know
or know about were earning with
their brains tens of thousands of dol
lars for themselves every year, where
as today they are toiling for Uncle
Sam at two centse a week
Yesterday it was the fashion for the
vast e,ajority. of people to spend ev-
cry cent they earned, but today TO-
OOO,GSO people own Liberty bonds

Yesterday girl paying-teller in a
bank would have caused a mild riot,
but today women are in the bank,
breaking stones on the railroads, con-
Outing trolley cars, making big shells
for our troops, running elevators in
office buildings and playing messeng-
err boy.
Yesterday we put more money in
alcohol twice over than we put in all
public education. as men, and a few
women, too, couldn't seem to live
without John Barleycorn, and yet to-
day our liquor bill has been cut in
two without major surgical opera

we may have made sufficient progress
to be able to dine without the din of a
brass band at our elbows.

Though the whole world is ringing
with the name of General Armando
Diaz creator of the greatest victory
his people have celebrated since they
we're knit together in modern ma
ton, he is one of the least known men
in Italy. Too short a time in SUI
preme command of the army to have
gathered about him the tradition oil
annecdote woven around most sue
cessful generals, his own retlcence
and modesty have kept him somewhat
out of the public eye.
Yet this personal characteristics
are clearly illustrated in the battle
which has just been fought. More
than anything else it seemed to be
the almost instant reaction of the 1t
alians, their extraordinary prompt
ness to attack from defensive posi-
tions, which disorganized the Aus
trian invasion, piled it up like rail-
road wreck in the mountains and left
it stranded on the banks of the Piave
at oMntello. This certain sudden
ness" is General DiaX to a IT.. More
over the readiness of the Italians was
obviously OF improvised. 1t was built
upon careful, scientific preparation
against any eventuality. That also is
the way General DiaZ works-secret-
ly and thoroughly.
In last years disaster at Caporetto,
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
ly Neapolitans who succumbed to enc
my 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.
OF Spanish Extraction
General Diaz comes of a noble fam
lily. AS the name suggests it is of
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 Foch and Petain,
General Diaz began his career as an
artillery officer. He was educated at
the famous Military Academy of
Turin and was graduated as a sec
ond Lieutenant of artillery, in which
branch of the service,he remained I'M
til he was made Captain. But theer
is in Italy a still higher education for
army officers known as the School Of
War for which sixty pupils are Sc
lected every year from the entire
army. General Diaz was one of these
sixty and year after year was among
the few chosen to serve on the Cen
eral Staff.
He rename with the General Staff
practically throughout his career eX
cept when reestablishing contact with
the troops, he served as commander
of battalion of infantry and later
of regiment. On the General Staff
he was for a long time head of the
Personnel Office" 1t was there that

RHYME MADE OF
NAMES OF SIGNERS
Colonel Ben LaBrCe, Descendant of
Monlder Of Liberty Bell Sets Name
Of Declaration Signcrs to
Rhyme.
louisville Courier-JournaD

Col. Ben La Bree, great-great-
grandson of Charles Stow, who was
one of the two men who cast the Lib
erty Bell, has written in rhyme the
names of the fifty-siX signers of the
Declaration of Independence. The
rhymes are dedicated to the children
of the United States, as Col La Bree
believes the young folk will find this
method of learning history an easy
one. The famous ancestor of Col La
Bree was also doorkeeper of the Pro-
vincial Assembly at the time the bell
was cast. Pass and Stow received for
their labor sixty pounds four shillings
five pence fundamentally.
Aprops of the rhymes giving ths
names of the signers of the Declar-
alton of Independence, Col. La Bree
calls attention to the fact that the
longevity was remarkable, as three
lived to be over 90 years of age, ten
to he over so years of age, eleven to
be over 20, fourteen over 60. eleven
were more than so when they died.
