An alliance with lldpubllcun France
In the world wriV for Democracy is per
fectly uiiilprstmuhible to every citizen
of the United States. In the case of
ourvother chief Allies, however, there
are still left some old-fashioned Amer
icans, fed on tho king-baiting school
histories of a generation ago, who are
n bit puzzled to find tho country of
George Washington lined up with the
"king-ridden" nations of Europe.
Hut the King of Italy Is not an old
fashioned King at nil.
This view of Victor Emmanuel as n
royal democrat is strikingly interpret
ed by Hamilton Holt, editor of-The
Independent, who lias Just returned
from Italy, where be bad n most un
usual Interview with Ills Majesty.
Mr. Holt went to Italy as the repre
sentative of the Italy'America So
ciety at the time of the celebration
of the third anniversary of Italy's en
trance Into the war. He wns received
In Home with much ceremony.
"Finally, after these formnlltles
were over," Mr. Holt told fne, "I wta
K1NG VICTOR. EMMANUEL. th$P
tfAND THE CROWN PRINCE- lfdP&
conducted up through tho northern
provinces to the hills Just behind the
battle line: We stopped at a little
villa belonging to n small wine
merchant, which had been requisi
tioned for government use. Thero
were two or three sentinels about the
grounds and ns many orderlies within.
That was all, no other evidence thnt
it was a post of any great Importance.
An olIiccMed mo up to n bed-chamber
on the third floor and knocked.
Royal Headquarters Modest
"Inside I was coi'dlnlly greeted by n
modest, middle-aged little man in a
plain uniform that I could scarcely dis
tinguish from that of a common sol
dier, no epaulets, gold braid or medals,
nothing but n ribbon showing years of
service such as nny soldier might wenr.
After a hearty handshake, he Invited
me to be seated."
That was tho 'King of Italy as one
Yankee saw him.
"There was not the slightest hint of
royal ceremony about our meeting,"
declared Mr. Holt. -"He simply ushered
me into his apartment, and Invited me
to sit down, ns any private citizen
would receive another. And It was a
very simple little apartment w'th no
hint of luxury nbout It. Thero was a
simple bed, washstand, bureau yid
two or three little straight-hack chairs
chair? that" looked as though they
might be of maple. I remarked on tho
simplicity of hs quarters and he said
they were much better .than same ho
had occupied.
"In Ave minutes' tlmo I bad lost nil
sense of being In tho presence of roy
alty. You know that ordinarily court
etiquette demands that a private citi
zen shall not speak to a king In tho
course of an intervlow. except to air
swer His Majesty. Beforo I renllzed
It I had forgotten nil about that con
vention and wo were chatting freely,
asking and aiibwoi'lng questions back
and forth and actually swapping yarns
In good old Yankee fashion. Ho kept
mo talking for three-quarters of an
hour and, of course, I had nothing to
do with tho length of tho :nll, as I nnt
maVlj followed custom to tho oxtent
of waiting for mm to terminate tho
Interview. Tho King speaks u perfect
English, has a good sense of humor,
enjoys tolling a good story and enjoys
llateulng to quo, In fact tho buly dlf-

ference apparent to mo In our status
ns I look back on It was thnt such an
Interview vns a very unusual experi
ence for me, while It wns not at nll'un
usual for the King, and I forgot to be
conscious of that at the time.
"Victor Emmanuel Impressed me ns
a sort of combination of Colonel House
and the late Frank It. Stockton. He Is
a man of simple and charming manner,
without pose, who has -thrown himself ,
heart and soul into the cause of his
country and' is vorking for It night
and day, ns hard as any other person x
In Italy. But he prefers to stay be- .
hiiuflhc scene.s while doing It."
'A Hard-WorkIng Monarch. ,
Thnt this unceremonious reception of
a representative of the American De
mocracy was no pose for theatrical 'ef
fect is clearly evident from Mr. Holt's
report of what he observed and learn
ed of the King's dally routine. Tho
Monarch has selected this little vllln
for bis headquarters on account of Its
location In convenient reach of every
part of the battle-Hue. Each morning
he rises early, eats a simple breakfast, '
has a light luncheon put up for him,
:ets into bis automobile and spends
the day visiting some point on tho
line, conferring with the olllcers and
talking with the 'soldiers, learning
th"lr needs first hand nnd inspiring
them by his presence nnd his Counsel.
At night he studies the plails of bnttlo
for the following day and never retires
without sending a letter to his family,
to whom he is passionately devoted.
He bus, made observations of the
battlefield from dirigibles nnd aero
planes. At one time In 1915 he climb
ed to the snow-covered crest of Itnuch
koel Mountains when tho temperature
was below zero In order that he might
congratulate the Alpine troops who
had just captured several Austrian po
sitions. I
Experiences Under Fire. '
"In tho course of our conversation,"
said Mr. Holt, "he gave me a graphic
description of his experience in one
town near tho frontier. The Austrlnns
discovered his presence In 'the town
nnd began bombarding It. The King
Immediately withdrew from the town
in order that, as he told me, ho might
not unnecessarily Imperil tho resl-(
dents. What he did not tell me wns
that he departed from tho town open
ly, for bo was evidently much more
concerned for the safety of the people
tlinn he was over tho peril of his own
life.
"He Is very much Interested In the
mechnnlcs of warfare. He described
graphically the barrage drill of tho
Italian troops ns he had witnessed It.
"He showed nie with grent glee a
German cross from n enptured air
plane ho had frame'd nnd hung on tho
Wall of his room. Ho described tbo
different designs ho had seen painted
on German planes and was particular
ly amused at one which had the design
of a Teddy Bear."
His Democratic Traditions. , !
The King's ability to play his pres
ent role Is the result both oralis demo
cratic Inheritance from his Savpy an
cestors nnd his Spartan upbringing.
He was tutored by n stem, old army
colonel, who, at the direction of the
hoy's royal father, treated" him In ev
ery wny like tho son dt a private citi
zen. He has ever since preferred
simple, rigorous living. Hunting nnd
mountain climbing nro among his fa
vorite pastimes.
"What did he have to say about the
political and m'illtury situation?" I
aSked.
"You must remember," Mr. nolt re
plied, ''that one cannot quote a King
directly. While wo discussed vnrious
phases of tho situation very freely, I
would not be at liberty to gtvo a ver
bntlm report of his opinions. In fact,
be was careful In talking with mo not
to express himself positively on mat
ters of stnto policy. When I en
croached on such ground, ho would
generally counter by asking mo what
they told me In,Ilomo nbout It.
An Admirer of America.
"For Instance, I asked him if it was
true thnt Italy desired America to"
send military uld to her. Ho asked If
they told me thnt In, Borne.
" 'Yes,' I replied.
"Tho King said that wns right Italy
did want our aid. Ho said wo oould
help particularly by sending them steel
and coal.
"Ho expressed a great deal of Inter.
est In American affairs and tho Ameri
can nttltudo toward tho war und kept
mo busy nnsworlng thoughtful ques
tions about them. Ho expressed the
greatest feeling of friendship towards
Amorlcn nnd appreciation for what we
'linvo already done In tho war! He
thought our efforts already made werc'i
marvelous."
In appointing n woman to become his
private secretary William C. Bedfleld,
secretary of commerce, hns set n prec
edent. Mrs. A. O. Stewart of Port
Blchmond, N. Y., is the first woman
thus honored. Mrs. "Stewart, was Mr.
Itcdfleld's confidential clerk for a num
ber of years. ""

Solved.
Washington. After struggling for n
long tlmo with the knotty problem of
conscientious objectors in army can
tonments, the war department now mx:
nounces thnt the difficulty has to a
large degree been solved through tho
aid of the farm help specialists of tho
United States department of ngrlcuf
ture. In tho vnrious states where there aro
farming communities which includo
sects opposed to war, such as tho
Dunknrds nnd Mennonltes, and where
alldltlonal farm help Is needed, theso
places are made known to the ennton
ment commanders, together with a rec
ord of thelr farm labor needs.
The plan hns worked out so welt
that In the three camps where definite
lists of objectors were compiled practi
cally all of these men have been
placed. Camp Meade had 88, nil 'of
them now at labor on f arms ; 100 of tho
102 men at Camp Lee have been placed
nnd tho majority of those at Camp
Taylor.
