After the visit of the King, Premier Mussolini arrived, unaccompanied. He stood silent with bowed head for sev- eral minutes before the bier. Then he signed the register with one word “Mussolini.” All the members of the diplomatic corps paid their respects during the morning. The most touching tribute was the visit of ladies-in-waiting to the Queen, who covered the bier with fresh flow. ers in token of the Queen's esteem fo the gallant soldier. Visitors came in constant stream to view the dead warrior. The room where the body lay was filled to capacity while crowds waited patiently outside for their turn to enter.

He made quite & record in the war with Turkey, in the Abys- sinfan and in the Libyan campalgns, the plan of the last named of which was largely of his own devising. Promoted to command of the 23d Army Corps on the Isonzo after bril- liant generalship in handling a division of troops against the Austrians on the Carso in 1915, Gen. Diaz attracted fur- ther attention to his great ability as an organizer. From August, 1916, until he was chosen to succeed Gen. Cadorna, in November, 1917, Diaz utilized his tal- ents in building up the morale of the Italian troops. ‘The memorable defeat of the 2d Italian Army, one of the three forces operating against the Germans and Austrians west of the Isonzo, threatened to demoralize the fighting efficiency of Ttaly’s 3,000,000 men. The appointment of Diaz as commander-in-chief, Novem- ber 9, 1917, soon set at rest the false hopes of the enemy for the collapse of the Italian front. During the first three days of his new position he carried out “miracles” which few of his highest officers would have dared to undertake. While the Austro-German avalanche was rushing toward the city of the gondolier, Gen. Diaz, familiar with all the details of the Italian general staff’s plans for Venice's defense, gave the orders for blocking the passage of the enemy across the Piave River. It was a time for great dejection, war correspondents ~said, and yet the doughty Neapolitan rallied his forces by the magic of assurance. Confident of victory, his energy was contagious. The Austrian tide was stemmed at the Piave, In October, 1918, he struck the blow that broke the Austrian front, drove a great wedge into the Austrian line and sent the Austrian armies reeling back with losses of thousands of men and hundreds of guns. The pride of Aus- tria_went down in defeat and was humbled in the dust. Within a week after the beginning of the Italian nffen- slve the Austrians asked for peace. By November 4 an armistice was signed and Austria’s part in the war was ended. In the Fall of 1921 Diaz visited the United States, remaining here two months. He attended the American Legion convention in Kansas City, par- ticipated in the burial service of America’s Unknown Soldier and at- tended the Washington Armament Con- ference as a member of the Italian delegation, e Wild Fight Opens Skupshtina.
