Hamilton Holt interviews Victor
Emmanuel at the Front, Where
He Lives Rugged Life
of a Soldier.
BY GARRETT 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 generation ago, who are
a 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
were over" Mr.. Holt. told me, 81 was

and improving its machinery. With
900 branches scattered throughout
the country, particularly in the large
industrial centers, this organization,
the original function of which was
finding jobs for immigrants, is lind
ing workers for jobs.
In it's work so far the employment
service has had the benefit of the
machinery built up by the National
League for Woman Service, which
even before the United States enter
ed the war sent investigators to
France and England. 1t has also
at it's command the government sur
veys showing war essential and less
essential industries. 1t also had the
active cooperation of labor unions
in many places.
The general plan followed so far,
and which will doubtless form the
basis for the big drive, is to recruit
willing but unframed women through
women's organizations and to draft
trained women from less essential
work into the war plants. An
Illuminating instance of how it did
the latter was furnished recently
when a gas mask factory established
by the government on Long Island
required 1000 stitchers. Agents Of
the Employment service visited such
plants as the collar factories of Troy
and won recruits. In Manhattan fac
tories where women had worked on
womens fancy collars, baby caps and
corsets more were located. Within
week the thousand needed were
| found at work. .sa.
The variety of industries in which
women already have been found cap
able of replacing men is almost with
out limit. Thousands have taken
their places in munition plants. But
when the big call for women workers
came, other less romantic but neces-
sary industries will have to be sup
piled. They will be needed in plants
not apparently directly connected
with the war, but vital in some way
to the military forces of the civilian
population.
The railroads will need them. The
Pennsylvania is already employing
$500 in places formerly held by men,
and they are making good as car
cleaners, messengers, drawbridge ten
ders, crossing watchmen, parcel room
attendants, ticket agents and even
section hands.
In Ohio women are replacing men
in glass factories. In Arkansas they
are at work in lumber camps. On the
coast they have found their places in
the shipyards as painters and carpen-
ters In hundreds of shops they are
already proving themselves capable as
machinists and in various other kinds
of metal work.

WOMAN LABOR
Mobilization of Country's Woman
Power Planned

|
/ Washington, Sept. 10-The women
of America will solve the labor sit
uation that officials now admit is
critical and which will be aggravated
just as soon as the extension of the
draft ages begins making inroads in
to industrial man power.
Despite all the efforts that will be
made to protect vital war industries,
it is thoroughly understood here that
there. will have to be a large replace
ment of men called to the colors, and
following the statement by Bernard
M. Baruch, chairman of the War In
dustries board, that the country has
only begun to use it's woman power,
plans for tapping this huge reservoir
are going forward with a rush.
Conferences between the War In
Idustries board and the National La
Dor Policies board looking to the
most effective means of mobilizing
the women of the nation behind the
men at the front are already in pro-
gress. The plans have not been
rounded into final shape, but it is
said that an intensive drive to bring
out the full woman power of the
country will begin within a few
weeks.
AS a basis for it's work the gov
eminent has a list of not less than
$4,000 women who, in response
to call by the Council of National
Defense, registered themselves as
willing to enter any work the gov
eminent finds them needed in. Moth
ing like all of these will be found
available for the tasks that must be
attacked, but an estimate that 1000
900 women may have to be found be-
fore the middle of next summer to
take their place in industry is not
disconcerting any officials here.
Latest statistics available show
that of the 17,623,992 women in
England there are now employed, ex-
elusive of domestic servants, sales
women, war nurses, ETC., 1888, 900, OIL

ures show that to make the proper.

to the showing by the women Of
England it would be necessary fol
more than 100000, American womeI
to take up behind the lines the
burden of war. 1t is esti
mated that 100000 already have
replaced men called for military ser

After a 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
me into his apartment and invited me
to sit down, as any private citizen
would receive another. And it was a
very simple little apartment with no
hint of luxury about it. There was q
simple bed, washstand, bureau and
two or three little straight-back chairs

might be of maple. [ remarked on the
simplicity of his quarters and he said
they were much better than some he
had occupied.

it l had forgotten all about that con-
vention and we were chatting freely,
asking and answering questions back

in good old Yankee fashion. He kept
me talking for three-quarters of an
hour and, of course, had nothing to
do with the length of the call, as I nat

of waiting for him to terminate the

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART;

Kidney disease is no respecter of
persons. 1t attacks all classes, re-
CARELESS of age, sex or conditions. A
majority of the ills affecting people
today can be traced back to the kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys are the most import
ant organs of the body. They are
the filterers, the purifiers, of your
blood. If the poisons which are
swept from the tissues by the blood
are not eliminated through the kid
neys, disease of one form or another
will claim you as victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicat-
ed by WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, ner-
vousness, dependency, backache,
stomach trouble, difficulty when urin-
ating, pain in loin and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, rheuma-
