The Commander-in-Chief of the Army is General Cadorna, who is

in his sixty-fifth year. He became chief of the General Staff last year. His writings are widely known and admired, and he is credited with a profound knowledge of the frontier districts. The Duke of the Abruzzi, the King's first-cousin, who commands the Fleet, has risen by his own industry and merit. In the war with Turkey he commanded a division of ships in the Adriatic. The Minister of Marine is Rear- Admiral Enrico Millo. He was the officer in command of the torpedo flotilla which made a raid in the Dardanelles on the night of July 18th, 1912, when he was serving as Chief of the Staff to the Duke of the Abruzzi in the ' Vetter Pisani,' flagship of the Adriatic Division, from which, apparently, the force was detached.
