Hamilton Holt Interviews Victor
Emmanuel at the Front, Where
He Lives Rugged Life
of a Soldier.
BY GARRET SMITH.

An alliance with Republican France
In the world war for Democracy is per-
fectly understandable to every citizen
of the United States. In the case Of
our other chief Allies, however, there
are still left some old-fashioned Amer
leans, fed on the king-baiting school
histories of Il generation ago, who are
bit puzzled to find the country of
George Washington lined up with the
"king-ridden" nations of Europe.
But the King of Italy is not an old
fashioned King at all.
This view of Victor Emmanuel as a
royal democrat is strikingly interpret
ed by Hamilton Holt, editor of The
Independent, who has just returned
from Italy, where he had a most I'M
usual interview with His 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 was received
in Rome with much ceremony.
FINALLY, after these formalities

provinces to the hills just behind the
battle line. We stopped at a little
villa belonging to small wine
merchant which had been requisi-
toned for government use. There
were two or three SentinelS about the
grounds and as many Orderlies within.
That was all, no other evidence that
it was post Of any great importance.
An officer led me up to a chamber
on the third floor and knocked

nothing but Il ribbon showing years of
service such as any soldier might wear.
After q hearty handShake, he invited
me to be seated"
That was the 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
he into his apartment and invited me
to sit down, as any private citizen
would receive another. And il was Il
very simple little apartment with no
hint of luxury about it. There WHS

they were much better than some he

"In five minutes time l had lost all

Louisiana Has
Big Opportunities

Truth about the soils of Louis
lana must be told and the. facts
as to just what can be raised, and
what cannot, on certain land
must be presented satisfactorily
before the land can be turned
to any of the soldiers, sailors or
marines who will return from
overseas.
Governor Pleasant made this
announcement Friday, on his
return from the Southern Land
Congress at Savannah, Ga.,at
which preliminary plans for the
turning over of farms to the re.
turning soldiers were discussed.
Action, however, rests with the
government, said Governor
Pleasant. He declared that the
plans for the bringing back SOL
diers, sailors and marines must be
decided upon first by the Wash
ington officials, and then CON.
municated to each state, so that
the lands of the state may be Of
fered.
"There must be no misrepresenta-
tion in reference to the character
OF our soil,' said the governor.
"We must state truthfully just
what crops they will produce ef-
fectively, and above everything
else must extend to the men who
come to this state to settle, many
of whom will be strangers, the
hand of welcome. We must show
that we can be good neighbors. -
The governor stated that the
wonderful possibilities of Louis
| lana were outlined at the confer
ence and that everyone in this
state must begin at once to real
ize these possibilities. "We Of
Louisiana must awake to the
splendid opportunities which are
before us, and take advantage Of
every chance" he said.

Quails And Turkeys
Are Now In Season

Friday morning the upland
game sportsmen had their inning,
as the open season for Bob White
quail or partridge and wild tur-
keys commenced. In announcing
the opening, the Department of
Conservation states the hunters
of the state will find the quail
more plentiful than ever before,
and for several portions of the
state where wild turkeys are a.
bundant, reports of increases
have been received.
The seasons for both species of
game birds begins the same day,
but there are different closing
dates. The last day on which
quail may be killed is the last day
of February, while the hunting
season for turkeys ends March 81.
The bag limit for quail is fifteen
a day and for turkeys one day.
The quail season is the same for
the past two years, but the wild
turkey law has changed by the
last session Of the Legislature to
allow the hunting of both cocks
and hens and to include as much
OF the "gobbling' season as
possible.
With the opening Of the season
for quail and wild turkeys, the
hunting season for all game birds
and animals now is in full blast.
Quail and wild turkey don't come
under the federal migratory game
law, but their sale is forbidden
under the state law.
