Between Air Raids.

This is a thrilling and true story of
two women who kept a "posto di con
forto" at Treviso, Italy, for travelling
sick and wounded soldiers:
Having done some very good ter
rorizing by the six o'clock raids, the
Huns kept them up. 1t was such a
pestiferous nuisance, because we were
always in the middle of cooking the
evening meal! With your soldier cook
and servant safe down in the cellar,
1t becomes your pleasing duty to run
out between raids to stir the soup or
put another stick Of wood on the fire.
With shrapnel falling all around. it
is not altogether wise to go with un-
covered head. We had given u two
helmets to American ambulance driv-
ers and were without any, so l was
obliged to wear a granite saucepan on
my head for these stirring parties. 1t
was not our custom to go into a refuge.
We claimed to those who expostulated
that during the raids was when we
were the most needed.-Red Cross

Hamilton Holt Interviews Victor
Emmanuel at the Front, Where
He Lives Rugged Life
of a Soldier.
BY eARRET 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 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 un-
usual interview with His Majesty.
MI. 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, II was

conducted up through the northern
provinces to the hills just behind the
battle line. We stopped at a little
villa belonging to a small wine
merchant, which had been requisi-
toned for government s. There
were two or three sentinels about the
grounds and as many Orderlies within.
That was all, no other evidence that
it was a post of any great Importance.
An officer led me up to a b~ed-chamber
on the third floor and knocked.
Royal Headquarters Modest.
Inside I was cordially greeted by a
modest, middle-aged little nan in a
plain uniform that l could scarcely dis
tinguish from that of a common sol
der, no epaulets, gold braid or medals,
nothing but a ribbon showing years of
service such as any soldier might wear.
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 a
simple bed, washstand, bureau and
two or three little straight-back chairs
chairs that looked as though they
might be of maple. I remarked on the
simplicity of his quarters and he said
they were much better than some he
had occupied.
"In five minutes time / had lost all
sense of being in the presence of roy
atty. You know that ordinarily court
etiquette demands that a private citi-
zen shall not speak to a king In the
course of an interview except to an
swer His Majesty. Before I realized
it / had forgotten all about that con-
vention and we were chatting freely,
asking and answering questions back
and forth and actually swapping yarns
In good old Yankee fashion. He kept
me talking for three-quarters of ar
hour and, of course, I had nothing to
do with the length of the call, a. / nat
urally followed custom to the extent
OF waiting for him to terminate the
interview. The King speaks a perfect
English, has a good sense of humor,
enjoys telling a good story and enjoys
listening to one. In fact the only dis,

Three Stolen Cars
Recovered by City's
Auto Detectives

Detectives Pszanowski and
Murphy returned Wednesday night
from trip to Hastings in company
with William McKenna alias Jack
Fitzgerald, whom they had taken
with them to show where some of
the motor cars he had stolen were
pufanted.
McKeirfla was captured last week
in a car belonging to |. J. Irlan,
Yutan, Neb., at Eighteenth and
Nicholas streets.
McKenna told the detectives that
he had been selling cars to a man
named Keith of Hastings and that
he had been getting $50 for Fords
and $500 for cars of the Buick class.
The detectives say McKenna
took them about three miles out of
Alma, Neb., and in a deserted house,
they found three cars, Buick be-
longing to Harry Wolf, Ford be-
longing to Thos. KEENAN, and Ford
belonging to Johnson.
All the car numbers were filed

failure for she was effectively and
immodestly hobbled, the latter fact
being very apparent to|an intensely
