WHO'S THAT BUG?'

NEW YORK. Nov. S.-Americar
doughboys, American editors and the
King OF England are amusingIy mixed
up in A story-printed today in the
Editor and Publisher as part Of an
interview with F. W. Kellogg, pub
Usher of the San Francisco Call. who
was one OF party just returned from
England and the battle front. Mr..
Kellogg, Lord Northcliffe, Edward w.
Box, of the Curtis Publishing Com
panys, and others were taken to meet
King George at Palace Sandrinsham.
Kellogg's story says:
I'VE were agreeably surprised t.
find that King George was much like
other people and not at all impressed
with his own dignity and Importance,
lie is very human, and has a keen
sense Of humor. He told me a story
about himself Of which Lord Northe-
cliffe, who was with our party, said:
III you don't tell that when you get
home I'll tell it for you So here goes:
The King had been talking with
General Pershing and General Bliss

As he turned to 90 away he heard an
American soldier say to another:
Who's that bug?' why replied his
bunkie. That's the King OF England
Well was the response, Where's his
crown. them
The King told the story with droll
humor and evident glee Mr.. Box,
as our chuckles subsided. said:
You know, your majesty, many of
our boys think you spend most OF
your time wearing your crown and
carrying your scepter'
Don't forget my ermine robe the
King came back with laugh. Don't
forget my ermine robe

After we had chatted while in his
office, King George said he would get
his hat and show US his grounds.

his father when he was married. and
has been his home ever since-just a
plain British dwelling. where he has
always lived and where his children
were born. He is very fond of It. He

all the remainder of his family that
were at home, took US about just like
the owner Of any other country place.
showed us his flower gardens, his hot
house, his dairy. and his horses.
Il should not leave this brief refer
ence to our visit to the King without
telling you his attitude towards Presi-
dent Wilson. / cannot quote the King
in this. OF course. but assure you that
he believes that the way Mr.. Wilson
has conducted Americas part in the
war has been all that could be hoped
for. or desired by Great Britain. King
George has the utmost confidence in
Mr.. Wilson, and is certain that he
will handle his difficult task with
credit to America and to the beneit
of the allies"

Censurer Republican Claims.

The Republican party is sSrongly
censured for attacks on the Presi-
dent by Senator Gerry. He states
that the President has unmasked the
attempts Of Republicans to obtain
control OF Congress by claiming to
be a good supporter OF his admins
tratiou. The Chief Executive. re-
alizing this, has made his appeal not
to Democrats. not to Republicans. but
to the American people" senator
Gerry states
His statement further says:
1T is evident now that the Repub-
licans' support was enforced because
Of their being in the minority and too
active opposition would be danger
Gus. as they knew that the people Of
this country are looking to Woodrow
Wilson FOR the leadership. and have
confidence in him above everyone else.
"If, however, such an unfortunate
occurrence should take place. and they
succeeded in obtaining control Of Con-
gress, it is now very plain that they
will attempt to force their war and
peace policies and their theOfies of
reconstruction afterwards upon the
President with the result that the
country will be divided in counsel
and that the advantage Of our present
unity of command will have passed"
Senator Gerry also stated that the
contention Of the Republicans that
they have given a higher per cent OF
support in the voting record on war
legislation than Democrats is not sus-
tanned by the record.
Il defy anyone to present a vote in
the Senate that shows a larger num-
Der of Democrats voting against any
war measure than Republicans"

Sweeping Democratic victories in
the Tuesday elections and a return
Of Democratic majorities to both the
Senate and House OF Representatives
was predicted confidently last night
by Senator Peter. G. Gerry, chairman
Of the Democratic Senatorial cam
paign committee, and Homer 5. Cum
mings, acting chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, in pre-
pared statements supporting Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for Democratic
majorities. .r
Mr.. Cummings stated that Demo-
cratic majorities will be substantial
ly increased in both houses Of Con-
Eress. Reliable estimates. he said,
places net gains by the Democrats
in the House of Representatives from
Democratic hold-oyer Senators.
Twelve are to be elected in States
where there are practically no con-
tests, making forty-two Democrats,
Mr.. Cummings pointed out. or the
nineteen States where twenty-three
senatorships are contested many are
normally Democratic, Mr.. Cummings
said. He further said that it is ne
cessary for the Democrats TO elect
only seven Of these twenty-three to
control the upper house.
Senator Gerry states that concss-
sion practically has been made by
the Republicans that they will lose
in the States OF Rhode Island, Ne
braska, West Virginia, South Dakota
and New Mexico. They admit that
the vote in Michigan and Massachu-
setts will be very close, and this is
a virtual admission OF defeat for
their party in those states, Senator
Gerry said.
