Out of 193 honors granted by King George V at the beginning of 1928, only 25 were conferred on women and these were of the low rank. The Women's Freedom league in view of women's records of accomplishment considers thi British wo |lie activities. “Peerages have been given (o two conservative members of par liament and a former governor of Nigeria,” the league declared in a formal statement. “Why was the Duchess of Atholl, the parlia mentary secretary to the board of education, not given a similar dis tinetion.” Of 30 men hoods, 12, Frances A. of the league, political and public of the men were distinguishel surgeons and one a journalist but no woman in these spheres was given an equivalent honor. “There are a great many wo- men just as deserving as men, and we particularly think that women 'l'm]d be made privy councille " Miss Underwood said. | “I do not see why women should not be given peerages, baronetcies and knighthoods. There should be no distinction whatever now that men and women are doing the same work. “It is the privy council which has decided that women should not he admitted to the diplomatic and consular and Indian civil services and if women went on the council I think this would be altered.” British’ women have just an exceptionally successful year. More women were chosen for the office of mayor than in any other year. The election of Lady Iveagh brought the number of women members of parliament to seven. Miss Elizabeth Scott, ths wo- man architect, won the attention |of the artistic world by her suc- |cess in designing the winning | plans for the Shakespeare Memor- ial Theatre.

Now she is the manager of a million dollar re- tail tractor business and consid: ers that train traveling is too slow a way to cover the territory to which her duties call her. Mrs. Robinson and her husband were faced with the necessity of finding new jobs as stemographer and salesman when their employ- er's business met with financial reverses in the post war depres: sion. They formed a partnership, credit from a manufacturer a started a business on their own account. Recently they moved in- to a new $95,000 building.

Supposed to {have been mortally wounded while leading his troops in the Libya campaign in Tripoli He |called for the flag of Italy and sked to be “wrapped within its glorious folds.” Although thought to be dying Diaz survived his ing {juries by sheer determination; to ‘vun imperishable . honors _sgyep iyears later as the conqueror _ of lAustrla on the of northern | Ttaly_and amid ¥he ilp&ne Snows. Forsbears Warriors i Armando Diaz's forebears hal fought in the Napoleonic WALS and he had been a student of th: lart of war since childhood. Born in Naples in 1861, the hoy was destined to bring the .hereditary enemy of Italy to her )mees, (rqe his long expatriated fellow coun- trymen of Trieste and the qun tino. " Diaz was educated at the, cele- brated military schools in Naples and Turin. Outside of military circles, for yvears the future com mander-in-chief of the _Italian armies was unknown, He hal {made a record in the war with l'rnrkey. in the Abyssinian and In | the Libyan campaigns, the plans of the last named of which was largely of his own devising. 1 i Promoted to command of the Twenty-Third Army Corps on_the Isonzo after brilliant generalship in handling a division of troops -against the Austrians on the Car S0 in 1915, General Diaz attracted further attention to his great ability as an organizer. From August, 1916, until he was chosen to succeed General Cadorna, ia November, 1917, Diaz utilized his talents in building up the morale of the Italian troops and inspir- ing them with the determinatior and zeal for victory that filled his own soul. Often in Trenches Soldiers related of him that when he commanded the Twenty: Third Army Corps he sometimes appeared among the trenches. Ou one occasion, at San Michele, in the forest of Selo, Diaz rode abouf utterly oblivious of the terrific i shelling by the Austrians. Siege batteries, it was said, “were vom iting columns of incandescent ma terial, making the stone heaps re:d hot.” And yet Diaz, in the midst of this storm of death, looked as though he might have been on dress parade. If he saw a regi ment wavering, he would shout: “Ragazzi!” (boys) and steady and encourage them. Rino Alessi, a correspondent who was with General Diaz in those fateful days, thus described him: by in Great Personality “A man in the prime of life, ol medium height, with hair Jjust ! growing gray at the temples. He walks with head slightly bent for- ward, the sign of a meditative mind. His manner is that of & man, sure of his own will. A 8y to| chologist would find in him capa: bilities of surmounting the ‘moRt difficult crises by force of a com: pelling personality. “uu'u “c'::n‘ e L s as anic. It was 8 h oc.\lud with.. M abhorrence of | natjon that the | Diaz disciplinarian in actual soldiering. he worked the same rule on him self as well as others. Punctili- ous In dress, his face hronzed by campaigning, Diaz looked “every inch a soldier.” One trifling phy sical defect—he was very slightlv cross-eyed—was hailed as an omen ‘of good luck by the Italian; troops as the superstition was handed down to them by the Lat- ins of old. It seems that in every great crisis . confronting a democratic “man of destiny” appears. After the Caporetto dis- aster all Italy looked for this man to save it from threatenel bondage and ruin. Diaz had been secretary to three”chiefs of the General Staff. The memorable defeat of the Second Italian Army-—one of the three forces operating against the Germans and Austrians west of the Isonzo threatened to demoral- ize the fighting efficlency of Italy’s 3,000,000 men. The ap- pointment of Lieutenant General as Commander-in-Chief on November 9, 1917, soon set at rest the false hopes of the enemy for the collapse of the Italian front. He filled his soldiers with fresh ardor for victory. Enemy Blocked During the first three days his new position as the successor of Cadorna, he said of him, he carried out “miracles™ which few of his highest officers would have dared to undertake. While the Austro-German _ avalanche was rughing precipitously toward the ¢ity of the gondolier, with its priceless works -‘'of art, General Diaz, familiar wla\ all the details of the Italian"™ General Staf!'s plans for Venice's defense—he had been head of thé war office from May, 1915 to June, 1916— gave the orders for blocking the passage of the ememy across (he Piave river. It was a time for great dejec- tion, war correspondents said, ani yet the doughty Neapolitan rallied his forces by the very magic of assurance. Conffdent of victory, his energy was contagious. The Austrian tide was stemmed at the Piave as he planned. A virtual statemate existed thereafter on the Italian front for nearly a year, during which Gen- eral Diaz was reforming, strength- gning, and rejuvenating his arm- jes, instilling a spirit dence and victor!
