NO 1TLL0W Pi VICTOR EMANUEL
War Ha Revealed the Strang Charae-
' tar ef th Italiaa King.
Rome, Nov. 13. Msay and stneer
will . be tbe congrstBlauons bestowed
by tbe Italian people upon their King
tomorrow oa the occasion of his Ma
jeaty's forty-eighth birthday annivers
ary, la tbe great erisis through which
has been passing Victor Emmanuel has
impressed himself anew upon tbe gov
ernment and the country. The impres
sion is oustlncuy.iavorable.
Tbe War bas served to reveal to tbe
Italian people tbe true character and
strong qualities of their King. Before
the war, notwithstanding the fact that
ha had occupied the throne for nftoen
years, Victor Km nun Del waa almost
an unknown quantity to the Italian na
tlon. He eeldoa or never Interfered
with hla minister of state. What be
thought ho kept to himself, and his
Impassive demeanor, probably culti
vated, helped' blm to maintain a non
committal 'attitude.
From tbe day that Italy entered the
war tbe King has shown forth in a new
light Hla personal acta as well aa hla
proclamations to the people demon
strated that be possessed tbe qualities
that fitted him to stand at the bead of
tbe. nation through tbe most critical
period that Italy has known since the
establishment of the kingdom. Those
who supposed that the Kings slight
physique went along with a wavering
resolution and a supersensitive temper
ament bare been speedily rid of this
mistake. .
Victor Emmanuel bas displayed 'ex
cellent judgment a well aa personal
bravery since the commencement of
the war. Although tbe constitutional
head of tbe army, be baa not endeav
ored to pose as a great soldier and mil
itary genius. In doing bis bit" at the
front he has been content to fill a sub
ordinate place, faring little better at
time than the common soldier. The
real direction of the great campaign
he haa left absolutely to General Ca
dorna and bis staff. On frequent occa
sions be haa shown that he has a rath
er wide understanding of military mat
ter and has studied them closely, but
for all this be has not attempted to
impose his opinions or bis authority
on the men entrusted with the com
mand of the army.
Like the German Kaiser, Victor Em-'
manuel baa shown himself almost im
pervious to fatigue.. He can remain on
horseback many hours without tiring,
be can go" a long time without food,
and In his hurried travels between
Rome and the front be has shown
unceasing energy and untiring seal.
While he has never openely interfer
ed in tbe conduct of military affairs,
tbe King ha not hesitated to exert
his authority aa head of the - army
when be believed that his interference
waa called for; Among both officers
and men of the army he is respected
and beloved, though he has the reputa
tion of being a strict disciplinarian,
somewhat severe at times and very
exacting In regard to bis officers, from
wbom he expects not only obedience
and strict attention to' duty, but what
Is of even more importance at the
present tune, .thorough capacity and
emciency. -
Tor moreTBan two years now vic
tor Emmanuel has spent nearly all of
bis time at the front. The soldierly
qualities that he baa developed and
his genuine longing to be ever near the
firing line are all the more surprising
In view of his Majesty's well known
taste for a domestic life. Among all
tbe rulers of Europe the King of Italy
has been known as one of the best of
family men." Before tbe war he liv-
3d more like a middle-class French
man of family, playing with bis chil
dren for many hours at a time, loath
ing pomp and show, using his spare
hours for reading and study or for
bis hobby of collecting old coins. ;
The King family relations are, and
always have been, of the happiest na
ture. His marriage with the beautiful
Prince Helene, of Montenegro, was
love match, and not a mere political
marriage. It 1 well known that he had
many difficulties to surmount before
he could call the beautiful Princess
Helene his own. : In the first place, the
Cxar Alexander had set his mind up
on bis heir (now the exiled Csar Nich
olas) marrying her. But Nicholas was
not to be dictated to in affairs of the
heart and be declined to be a rival to
Prince Victor. . Then the parents of the
latter were not too .well disposed to
ward the match at first, but they came
around and afterward became much
devoted to the beautiful and high- spir
ited girl who is now Queen of Italy.

last decisive issue between the old -
principles of power and the new prln- .
clples of freedom."
"I believe," ne said, mat tne spirit
of freedom can get into the hearts of ,
Germans and find as fine a welcome
there as it can find in any other heart.

"You know, .he continued, "now
many intimations come to us from one -of
the Central powers thst it is more
anxious for peace than the chier or ,
the central powers, and you know it
means that the people in the central
