Hamilton Holt Interviews Victor

By GARRET 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 q
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.
Mr.. Holt went to Italy as the repre-
sentative of the Italy America So

of the third anniversary of 1talys en-
trance into the war. He was received
In Rome with much ceremony.

speedsters are death-defying in their
performances and will whirl around
the track apparently Indifferent to the
danger of such daring speed as that
for which they are noted.
J. Alex Sloan, the country's best
known auto race manager, will be in
general charge of the big program.
With the nation at war and motor
cars playing an important part in tbs
world conflict, there will be great pa

SHADE TREE MEMORIALS
Proposal to Set Them Out for Sol
diers and Sailors Who Have Died.

Shade trees as memorials to Milwau-
kee soldiers and sailors who lost their
lives in the war is the plan which Is
under consideration by the parks and
parkways committee Of the civic COM
mission. A tree for each man would
be planted and each would bear the
name of the man whom it commemo-
rates and other information about him.
The committee is considering two
places for the trees. One plan pro-
vides for cooperation with other To-
calities to have all such trees planted
along the Lincoln highway. The other
plan is to make the project purely
local and place the trees along a
route connecting the city parks.
1.-THE trees would be Of various
kinds" said John D. Ball Of the civic
commission. "They would be planted
in groups at points where it is desir-
able to gain the view Of the passer
