Rome. June 9, (via Paris, June 100.
The presence of King Victor En-
manuel at the front is having a ire
mendous moral effect on the Italian
troops, according to reports reaching
the capital from all sections Of the
long battle line. The king has visited
every zone where fighting is taking
place. Much of his travelling has been
done on horseback because roads are
lacking on a considerable portion Of
the front. The king is idolized by his
troops.
Queen Helena, during the absence
of the king from Rome, is giving up
all her time TO philanthropic and relief
work.
