Five American divisions, which have
been brigaded with the British, had
been turned back to Pershing.
No announcement as to the total of

had been inspiring from both a mill

His reports show the Italians had
captured $4,000 Austrians.
The Italians have restored their line

Austrian drive.
Concerning the landing of American
troops in Italy, the chief pointed out
that their character was chiefly non
combatant, but that combatant troops

POLITICAL TALK LOVER THERE"

Harry g. Evans in a letter from
France: The boys are not thinking
or caring much about partisan poll
tics. They're not caring a picayune
about the dear old democratic party
or the &. o. p. as parties, but they are
thinking of individuals. In great
crisis, when the public is of one mind
men become the issue. Just now our
boys over here are talking more
about Roosevelt and Pershing and
President Wilson than any others:
Roosevelt would probably be elected
president if the election was today,
If the soldier vote in France deter
mined the matter. However, the
American general who this year and
next leads our armies to victory will
be formidable candidate for the
Presidency.

lated greatly through a ruling just
promulgated by Edward Chambers. di-
rector of the division of traffic, Unit
ed States railroad administration. for
the free return of exhibits. The order
also applies to county fairs.
This means that Ohio exhibitors
will have to bear only the Transports

plays to state and county fairs. The
government will transport them back
to the point whence they were ship.
ped without charge OF course, the
plan relates only to intra-state ship
mcnts.
Several years ago. an arrangement
similar to this existed, but was chang
cd by the railroads and exhibitors had
to pay transportation expenses both
ways. AS the government is deeply
interested in the success of state and
county fairs this year. believing them
to be an important factor in winning

KING GEORGE IS
DEMOCRATIC IN
HIS De NE AN Or
English Ruler Landed For His
Unpretentious Bearing
And Kindly Nature.

PARIS. June 1S-(Correspondenc
of The Associated Press)-George V
is described as democratic King"
by a woman correspondent of the Pet
it Parisien who writes of her visit to
Buckingham Palace on the occasion of
an open air investiture.
"The sight of King George in the
midst of his people at this ceremony
filed me with mingled astonishment
and admiration" she asserts. "When
the American labor representatives
said that with King George they had
no impression of being in the pres
ence of king. they bestowed the
highest praise on one who is only. and
who is quite content to be only, the
first gentleman of his kingdom.
There is no difficulty about getting
in for one of these investitures 1t is
unnecessary to use any influence or
provide oneself with letter of intro
ductiOn. or even ticket of admission
the King of England is, to be seen
by everybody.
~ noted the simplicity of his cos
tune. There is nothing to distinguish
him outwardly from all the others.
while God Save the King is be-
ing played he stands at the salute,
holding himself quite straight. his
grave frank countenance full ut once
of dignity and kindness. There is no
hysterical enthusiasm. but in all eyes
may be seen the kind of trust and es.
TEEN and affectiOnate pleasure with
which one looks upon kinsman or a
friend of whom one is proud.
I'VE have here truly democratic
sovereign, one who instead of impos.
ing his will upon the people feels that
he incarnates their sentiments and
wishes, who associates himself with
their labors and shares their anxieties
and ordeals, who fulfills his difficult
role simply and unconsciously.
