G eneral Diaz, a soldier as mocSest

his belief is “ th a t to realize w orld
peace and concord we m u st d isarm ,
not only in w eapons, b u t also in th e

All civilization owes a debt to Diaz
— for he saved Venice. W h at th e

c u ltu re is incalculable. A fter Cap-
o re tto , w hen th e A ustro-G erm an
forces took 200.000 Ita lia n s and 790
guns, he b ro u g h t victory out of d e
feat and d espair. F o r n early a year

conclusive blow he stru c k a t A us
