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 a generation ago, who ars
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.

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

calls to mind the fact that that In
former wars, for instance, our great
civil war, a man went into battle
for a few hours or at most a day or
two, and then retired to a place Of
safety where he. could rest, sleep
and tone up his nerves. In this
war, from the moment our men
leave their home shores they are
under nervous strain, every hour at
sea and every hour in France and
England. the submarine and the
enemy airplane, respectively, are on
the lookout for chance to take the
toll of lives When they reach the
front, they are under strain because
Of the shells, the Gas attacks and
the airplanes and the drain on the
nerve force is terrific---much more
terrific even than the separation Of
