Studied Border
One of the most remarkable points
OF Cadorna's career was the avidity
with which throughout his life he
had studied the territory along the
northern boundary, where the oper-
atoms against the Austrians were to
be carried out. General Cadorna was
a man Of prodigious memory, often
startling the other members of his
staff by the ease with which he could
enumerate in precise detail the diff
culties and natural advantages Of the
most obscure routes, paths and pas
sages, especially among the Alps.
As n Of many instances Of his
quick observation and exceptional
memory the story is told Of how. IN
the early days Of the mobilization Of
the army in 1915, General Cadorna,
while riding by a railway station in
an automobile detected the fact that
one of the car of a military train
which he saw at the station loaded
with munitions was being sent along
a wrong route. The mere number Of
the freight car had sufficed for Cen
eral Cadorna to perceive the error-
although there were hundreds of
trains moving az that time with mu-
nitions Of war for all parts of Italy.
The family of fighters from which
General Cadorna came assured him
some popularity from the start. His
grandfather led an army against the
French battalions of the revolution
when they invaded Piedmont. and
then refused to serve the government
that was erected on the ruins of the
throne. His father. General Raphael
Cadorna, fought beside the French at
Crimea, and was Minister of War in
Tuscany before he commanded the
little army that marched on Rome In
1870. It was he who suppressed two
Of the most bloody uprisinrS in the
history of the new kingdom. that Of
Sicily and Emilia.
Revolutionized Tactics
Luigi Cadorna entered a military
school in 1860 and became attached
TO the General Staff as a second lieu
tenant when he was only Is years OF
age. Later he was transferred to the
military division of Florence, over
which his father was chief in conf
mand. but he was not allowed to ac-
company his father upon the expedi-
ton to Rome, either because his
father did not wish TO be accused
OF favoritism or because he expected
criticism Of the expedition, which he
did not wish his son to share.
Csdorna became a captain in 1915
and BEGAN the publication Of a series
OF pamphlets concerning the differ

BEETLES AID
VALLEY TREES
Destroy Cotton Cush-
iony Scale In
Orchard

Especial to The Herald)
SAN BENITO, Dec. 2l.-Marching
in n column Of tours, and with an
impregnable front. an army Of Aus
tralian beetles is spreading disaster
to the cotton cushiony scale on n
large orchard near here, with a flank
attack expected on other strongholds
Of this scale.
Reserves Of the beetles arc avail
able for use in other parts OF the
Valley. and anyone desiring to start
a little private war Of his own. with
the outcome assured beforehand, be-
tween the beetles and the scale can
secure some Of these beetles.
Tn present attack Is centcring on
the orchard of Wright Bellenger
near San Benito, and the beetles
were taken there by John c. P.o.s,
county citrus inspector.
Only a few OF the beetles were
taken to the orchard, and for a time
none were observed around the trees.
Then the army came out of its hid
ing place, and the general engage
ment started. The scale did not
have a chance. Before the smoke
Of the first encounter had cleared,
half the scale army had been dis
persed, and most Of the rest Of IL Is
being scattered, captured and d.
gcsted.
There are huge numbers of the
beetles on this farm now, Mr.. Plott
said, and any one desiring beetles
may secure them from him, or from
Mr.. Bellenger.
The Australian beetle is sure death
10 the cotton cushiony scale. The
ones being used here were brought
from California by Mr.. Plott.
They increase rapidly, and when
the cotton cushiony scale is not in
evidence. they turn on each other,
and become cannibals. They have
been used successfully in other sec
tons TO combat this scale, and were
brought here only when heavy in
festation was found on some trees.

CONSTITUTION DAY
 0F POLES OBSERVED
Tablaux Depict Events Which Transpired tS7 Years Ago

Upwards of thousand Poles gathered last night at the r. NJ T. A. R. hall to commemorate the 1S1th anniversary of the adoption ot the Constitution of May 80, which to the Poles corresponds to the Dec laration of Independence in America The constitution which was drawn and adopted more than a century ago, when Poland was already beinG partltioned, came into existence when the country was again rec ognlzcd by the world powers at the close of the World war in 1918. The present constitution Of Poland $ largely based on the ono adopted in 1l91 with a few changes.
 Last nights meeting was opened by the RCN. Stephen BartkoWsl,i with short address in which he outlined the purpose Of the meeting and then called on John Zielinski or HolNokc, who made the principal speech. The speaker. well known throughout New England, gave a short resume of the incidents lead Ing up to the drawing and adoption Of the constitution. it's actual short lived existence and mentioned the numerous attempts Of Polish patri- ots to rcsurrect Poland and bring It back into the fold ol European nations, during the pest century.
 The futile attempts of our great patriots, koscius:.No. Traugutt, Po- niatoWshi and many others, were rewarded at the close of the World War, when Poland was again made an independent state" he said. Tt has been said that the existence of Poland will be shortlived and that she will be again cut into many pieces and divided among other powers. That is nnpossible-Poland has come 10 stay and the nations Of the world. especially European, recognize her as one of the import ant states Of the European family"
 Rev. Stanley 1ciek. Of Norwich, who was scheduled to deliver an address. could not attend because of other important matters.

Prussia and Aus tria, standing on the side, heads bowed. with their guns pointing 10 the ground. Girls in national cos- fumes furnished the finishing touch while at either end stood a Polish and an American soldier. Two tots knelt before Poland with hands out stretched toward her During this presentation the Polish and Ameri- can national anthems were sung by those in the tableau in which the audience joined.
