of the Mediterranean. Military contemporaries of Graziani con- slider him one of the best living colonial fighters in the world
 Four other names which would figure in the high command of the Italian army would be boisterous Gen. Federico Baistroccsi former undersecretary of war and World War here; Gen. Ugo Cavallero, who as first undersecretary of the war under Mussolini helped the Duce reorganize the army; Gen. Angelo Tua and Gen. Valentino Bobbio, both rich with World War experience.
 Three Ranking Admirals
 Top ranking commanders in the navy under Count ri Revel would be Admirals Vincenzo de Eco, for mer governor of Eritrea, Vladimiro Pini and Arturio Riccardi, all of whom saw active service during the World War.
 Under Balbo in the high con- mand of aerial forces fould be the Duke of Aosta, present viceroy of Italian East Africa who has de- voted almost his entire career to the air. Gen, Bernasconi former commander of the high speed center at Desenzano in charge of the Italian air force in Spain, Pietro Pima, Attilio Ranzo, head of the southern Italian forces in Ethiopia, and Aimone-Cat, in charge of the northern forces.
 Brief sketches of the foregoing men follow:
 Marshal Pietro Bad0gli0
 Known as one of Fascisms most bitter enemies before the Black Shirt regime came to power, Ba- doglio nevertheless was entrusted by Mussolini with his most stupen- dous undertaking = the Ethiopian campaign.
 Despite the difference which ex- isted between the Duce ands Ba- doglio before the former came to power, Badoglio today stands as one of Mussolini's closest advisors and trusted military figures.
 Born at ,Grazzano Monferrato. Piedmont, on Sept. 28, 1871, Ba- doglio went to the Military Acad- emy of Turin where he was grad- uated in 1893. Three years later he began his active military career in the Eritrean campaign as a lieu tenant.
 In 1910 he fought in the Lybian campaign against the Turks where he distinguished himself. He en- tered the World War with the rank of lieutenant colonel and fought for AZ consecutive months in the trenches. He was named Marquis of Sabotino by the King in recog- milton of his generalship in the battle of Sabotino, where he scored an important triumph.
 A short time before the March on Rome, he was sent to Washing ton on good will mission. During 1924 and 1925, Bagdoglio was Ital- ian Ambassador to Brazil. He was recalled to Italy and made marshal.
 In 1929 Mussolini appointed Ba- doglio, governor of Lybia, post which he held for five years. When the Ethiopian campaign under General DeBono began to bog down, Mussolini appointed Badog- lio to assume command. Within a few months his army was in Addis Ababa.

The committee, together with similar group from the Board of Aldermen, will discuss with the Griffenhagen representative the possible benefits and estimated cost of a survey that may take to the end of the year.
 Economies
 The conferees will discuss both a preliminary survey, which would aim at effecting economies this year, and full survey, aimed at effecting economies which could be incorporated into the 1889 budget.
 Mayor Frank Hayes said he fav- ored the proposal, and the board voted unanimously in favor.
 Declaring that the matter had come formally to thu finance boards attention for the first time yester- day, Commissioner John Goss said he favored such a survey but had been worried as to where the money was coming from. However, he said, he had learned from Controller Sherwood L. Rowland that the funds are available in his depart ment, from an item set up for pay ment of interest on bonds that have not been sold.
 Commissioner Goss said he did not like the idea of the survey lasting only two months, and felt that a more complete and thorough survey would be more beneficial to the city. He said it should be made clear to the Griffenhagen firm and to the Board of Aldermen that the finance board has already effected major economies, is now effecting others, and has plans for still more. He suggested that the aldermanic sub committee be invited to attend the conference.
 Negotiations
 A vote was passed authorizing Commissioner Major w. Judge, chairman of the finance board sub committee, and his fellow commit tee members, to negotiate with Grif- fenhagen and Associates relative to the survey.
 The conference with Griffenhagen will be held at 4 p. m. next Thurs day.

 Mussolini is essentially a states man and his knowledge of fighting strategy decidedly limited. His role in warfare undoubtedly would be confined to that of an advisory capacity in charge Of administra- tion and organization. The Duce, however, would certainly partici- pate in staff discussions.
 The effective leader of all the armed forces would be war-scarred Marshal Pietro Badoglio, chief of the general staff and supreme com mander of Mussolini's East African adventure in 1885.
 Commands Would Overlap
 The double overlapping command of all the armed forces exercised by Mussolini and Badoglio would find a similar parallelism of leader ship in each of the three services.
 Nominal chiefs of each of the three services would be Gen. Alber- to Pariani, undersecretary of war; Gen. Giuseppe Valle, undersecreta- ry of air; and Admiral Domenico Cavagnari, undersecretary of navy. Mussolini himself holds the minis terial portfolios in each of the three departments.
 These three underSecretaries un- derWent thorough military studies so that their ranks are not of an honorary nature. They are chiefs of staffs in their respective services. Nevertheless their roles in a con- flict would be as departmental heads in charge of organization and administration under Mussolini's command.
 The three active leaders in charge of the fighting forces would un- doubtedly be: Army - Marshal Ba- doglio, who would assume double command of the army and all the armed forces; Navy, - Grand Ad- miral Paolo Count Thaon ali Revel, commander of Italy's naval forces during the World War; Air-Mar- shal Italo Balbo, member of the quadrumvirate and governor gen. eral of Lybia.
 During the World War, the Ital- ian navy had it's own separate leader. In any future conflict the naval head would come under the orders of Marshal Badoglio or his successor.
 Graziani Highly Regarded
 Aiding Badoglio in charge of land forces unquestionably would be popular Rodolfo Graziani, hero of the Somali front during the Ethiopian campaign and second Viceroy of Italian East Africa Alessandro Pirzio- Biroli, who led a native army corps during the Ethiopian conflict; scholarly Fran cesco Saverio Grazioli, World War commander and writer of military treatises; grizzled Ottavio Zoppi World War hero and senator, and Pietro Ago, who fought on the French front during the World War.
 These five men would all be eligible to supreme command of all the armed forces as well as the army in the event of something un. foreseen occurring to Badoglio. As Italy's greatest colonial so. dier, Graziani automatically woulc be placed in command of African warfare should the scene of battle be shifted to the souther bank;

LINES FROM THE BLUE AND THE GRAY" By the flow of the inland river Whence the fleets of iron have hed Where the blades of the grave grass qulver Asleep are the ranks of the dead;- Under the sod and the dew,
 Waiting the judgment day. Under the one, the Blue;
