...honored for bravery. In his youth, he fought in the first line of battle and was wounded in action. But the greater honor is due him for the bravery of a general rather than for the bravery of a soldier. To command an army, to order a retreat in the face of hostile public opinion--this requires a higher courage. When he took command of the Italian forces, they were falling back almost daily before the Austrians. His was the responsibility of giving way just enough, yet not too much--then of making a final stand along the Piave...
General Armando Diaz, Commander-in-Chief of the armies of Italy during the last stage of the world war, will speak this afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Living Room of the Union.

...operations of Liberalism there is no room for either Conservatism or Radicalism. Liberalism is not a retreat for either. It is a definite system of civil polity. the Radical of today is not the Liberal of tomorrow. Milyoukov is still a Liberal. Liberalism does not seek a compromise between the two extremes. Its fundamental belief is the goodness of the system of private ownership of the means of production and distribution. Simply because it holds this belief does not establish that it was taken from Conservatism. It realizes that there are evils in the system, but contends that they...
