ITALIAN KING AT FRONT
‘' Chosen arid Exalted by Fate, Ruler Shows Him
self Worthy of His Fortune,” Says Poet.
Tells Why Gioldtti Is Execrated.

Correspondent of The Sunday
American With the Italian Army.)

ROME, June 12.—When at the end
of our week of passion we won the
bitter battle against the dealers and
traders, I was notified the King
would do me the honor of receding
me. I started toward the Villa Ada
with the buoyancy of youth. There
flashed back to my memory a dis
tant day when I saw him, then Crown
Prince, for the first time. It was on
a field of maneuver near Bracciano,
which at noon under the dog-day
sun appeared almost returned to its
pristine volcanic state of burning
tufa, incandescent lava, in the time
when the lake was a yawning cra
ter.
Before my eyes discovered him in
the shady avenue, where he awaited
me, I again saw in memory the sharp
glance his blue soldier eyes, which
meeting me for the first time exam
ined me from head to foot. In the
uniform of the Alexandria Light Cav
alry he was on horseback. With his
officers toward dusk on the road bor
dering the lake he appeared to be
returning from a reconoissance of tne
forces and the, enemy’s position. In
Teality it was from having discovered
in Vevignano’s old church two can
vases of the Umbrian school, two
pictures after Plrugiano, from hav
ing sought among the castle ruins
Caesar Bprgia’s shadow.
The Crown Prince stopped his
horse, while we stood at attention,
and scrutinized us with a searching,
severe eye from cap to leggings. We
were in perfect ordnance uniform.
Then only he recognized in me the
young poet of Roman elegies. He
smiled at me. nodding slightly with
such frank Italian gentleness as to
cause great hope to bloom in my
heart for his destiny.
Impressed by King.
Then as we^sayw him disappear in
the distance in the luminous evening
amdist chirping swallows we were
delighted to follow him with heart
felt wishes.
This youth, destined to be the fu*
ture Latin King of Greater Italy, I
took delight in following with my
eyes toward the classic horizon of
the sacred latium wher the Soraate-
Sabine Mountains’ peak of Cimino
stood purple-tinted, while thfe Arguil-
lara-Treviznino grew darker" on the
basaltic lava promontories.
In the following days I had the
good fortune of acting as guide to his
regiment during maneuvers, riding
some hours by his side. Two things
impressed me above all else while he
deigned to converse with me in the
course of a weary march, the preci
sion of his culture and love for the
beauties of the landscape, his faculty
of action and contemplation.
Both of these faculties, graver and
deeper, I again found in him during
a recent visit. I also found that
courtesy, the pyre Italian quality in
the sense our fathers of the thirteenth
century gave.the word, that simple,
virile courtesy which prompted him
to nome to meet me almost at the
threshold of the gateway, not tjp honor
me, but to honor in me "the spirit
that brought me love, w.hich holds fhe
to the ideals I se^ve.”
Believed All Was Lost.
Arriving in Rome, I had thrown
myself into the fight without heed
ing thrusts. It was a moment when
we believed everything lost; the mo
ment when the Government handed
the King its regination; the moment
when truly we believed the father-
land horribly assassinated. From that
moment we fought with a kind of
desperate fury, without minding hos
tile thrusts, with words and acts. I
represented The crudest kind of oppo
sition against the most dangerous
politician who had been Prime Min
ister, decorated with the highest re
gal order.
On May 14 at a meeting the people
accused him of high treason. With
Implacable earnestness and with pre
cise coldness, producing proof of
facts, the whole people responded
with the cry of “De^th!”
The King, who came toward me
along the shady avenue, knew this.
In extending me his hand he was giv
ing his hand to a good fighter. He
was receiving messages from the peo
ple. With a gesture of noble frank
ness he declared on which side lay
the right and reason. He disdained
and repulsed defrauders and traders.
No longer could anyone doubt no
longer could anyone fear that the
hand extended to the poet still warm

from the battle fought was ready to
unsheath the dagger.
Dressed heady for the Fray.
I was profoundly moved. Never
shall I forget the wonderful hour
which was accompanied by fhe
throbbing of iron destiny. He was,
as ever, calm, his voice tranquil and
steady. His conversation was meas
ured and clear, but he was already
wearing the gray uniform of a general
in the field ‘ready to mount his horse
The whole army of I tally was deployed
behind him. During the pauses I
could hear rhythmic sounds of in
numerable feet. It was said the King
had hesitated long before taking the
supreme step, but truly there was no
sign on him of such hesitation. He
wore his usual aspect, the aspect of
one who proposed to discharge his
duty to the last with all his con
science and strength.
This is the wonted aspect. I do
not believe there ever ruled on the
earth a king more persevering, more
sincere in religion and duty, a king
who discharged with more stubborn
ness his duty toward his people, him
self and to hJs forefathers. To him
applies the phrase used by one of our
poets of Dante’s time, who said: “He
has great powers who only aims to
duty.”
By rigidly, thoroughly exercising
his duty this King has succeeded in
dominating his fate. Now, after so
many years of the religious fulfill
ment of his mission, fate obeys him.
After so many years he meets with a
most glorious destiny. And of this
destiny he has proved himself worthy.
His ascent to the throne was ac*
companied by extraordinary auguries.
When on the night of July/29. 1900,
his august father, who has never in
jured anybody, fell by a murderer's
hand he was navigating in the Medi
terranean On shipboard he received
the sorrowful news, on shipboard he
became King of Italy. The nation,
which was dragging out its life in a
sort of servitude chained to odious
allies, revived at the sight of that
royal blood. ' ’?e severe shock to dor
mant consciences awoke youthful en
ergies. Wearied by the shame, lonely
endured, it had an impulse toward in
surrection.
When the funeral train traversed
Italy mighty crowds accompanied it
to the Pantheon. The warships sent
heroic greeting, Spezia saluted from
her forts and her armed towers. All
Rome followed in prescient silence the
royal body borne on a gun carriage.
Truly Italy looked transfigured, as
if it had risqn armed with a new will.
Then to the King enthroned by fate
on the sea I said in a poem, w hich to
day I believe in spirit, to the King of
the Italians, ‘Fate chose thee, woe
thee if thou fail her.”
Heroic necessity appeared to en
velop the young King like an aureole.
A poem blazing forth with hope and
prophesy demanded of him, ‘‘What
will ybu want on the throne? What
height is your mark? Are you look
ing far ahead?” Anxiously the poem
i asked, ‘‘You know how b^utiful is
| your kingdom; you know its innu-
' merable springs; you love its divine
se^.” Overbearing, the poem cried to
him. “Open by our virtue the doors to
future dominions.”
The Awakening Was Short,
j But the awakening of the national
soul wag short-lived. We again'fell
j into the hands of aged corruptors.
; The man whom I accused was proved
guilty of treason before the people.
Giovanni Giolitti, whose name to-day
every Italian execrates, corrupted
i everything, desecrated everything, re-
I dueed the national life to vulgar com-
I petition of petty and equivocal inter-
! ests of the base mart/
Years after years of miry obscuri
ties passed, but the genius of the race
wasn’t destroyed. The deep springs
were not dried up. Occult life ani
mated the nation even under the daily
opprobrium. The inexhaustible spring
of creative force, the nucleus of latent
energies, subsisted in our land, for it
still was possessed of such wealth as
to nourish the germ of highest hope,
the mysterious, infallible rhythm of
destiny.
So much misery, so great shame, so
deep anguish, so cruel a travail, were
crowned by a splendid triumph. Sud
denly on a radiant spring morning a
voice cried out as in a poem of liber
ty, “My brethren, we are free.”
We are free, we are ready, we a#e
armed, we are worthy of our desti
nies. The King, chosen by fate on
that day and morning, is exalted by
fate. In the day victory was forecast
it had not erred, the invocation had
proved true, ‘‘From red blood let
dawn arise.”
From our red blood shall the purple
dawn arise tfjr our soul, the soul with
in each individual breast of our race.
And this King shows himself worthy
of his fortune. On the battle field he
discharges his duty as would be ex
pected of a descendant of Emmanuel
Philibert and the indomitable Charles.
Emmanuel I, who returned to the
King of Spain the insignia of the Or
der of the Golden Fleece with th^ese
proud words, “I wish for no bonds or
honor from one who threatens me
with chains.”
King in the Thick of Battle.
The King of Italy is with his sol
diers. He is continually at the front,
where the ebb and flow of our purest
blood beats fastest. It is to him an
untold^ joy to feel every day the force,
courage and virtue of his whole peo
ple flowing#eag^rly toward the spot
where the danger is greatest, the
hardships most trying. He is not a
theatrical emperor of barbarians, not
a leader of fierce landknechte, but a
Latin King, simple, serene and full of
intrepidity—one soul with soul with
his soldiers. The other day on the
line of fire a shell burst at a distance
of a few yards from the King. He
threw himself on the ground like any
of his soldiers. Remaining unscathed,
he jumped up smiling, covered with
soil which is already free, which
will remain ours for all time. Amidst
the delirious cheers of his soldiers he
cried, "Viva l’ltalia!” This cry will
soon be repeated around the victo
rious King as he rid*** through the
streets of Trieste. Every one of our
soldiers firmly believes he will repeat
it in the streets of Vienna, marching
past the battered ruins of the monu
ment of Tegethoff. “Viva ITtalia!”
For these reasons on that May-
morning, walking along the alleys of
the silent park, the King just con-
versed in v subdued tones. Thev both
heard from mysterious unknown
depths the approach of the rhythm of
destiny, surpassing the dr^am of their
youth the expectation of their fate.

Freshman Wins Prize
For Poem On Belgium
‘Walt, Watch and Pray” Theme of
Verses by Thacher Nelson,
of Harvard.
CAMBRIDGE, June 12.—Thacher Nel
son, of Chicago, a Harvard freshman,
won the Garrison prize of $100 for his
poem, “Belgium," which follows:
Wait, watch and pray;
The uneven candles from the altar burn.
The shattered windows blaze the last
return
Of sinking day.
The evening sky >
Lapses from battled crimson into dark,
And to the altar tapers, spark on spark,
The stars reply-.
And black above, the shot-torn rafters
meeting overhead,
Watch o’er the land’s petition for its
dead,
A grief of love
That never ends.
A nation, shrapnel-scarred and faint
with war, /
Humbled along the church's stone-
strewn floor.
In conquest bends.
Bends to receive
The sacrement of Christ, the blood of
peace,
The benediction prayer of swift release;
Disdain^ reprieve.
Kneeling alone,
Belgium, bowed down, but not reduced,
aspires
In hope to see the morning gild her
spires
And dawn atone
For dark to-night.
When brothers slay from hill to distant
hill,
Or In a bayonet charge, white hot to
kill.
Fall in the fight
God grant the day
Break *oiden clear beyond the coming
morn.
Wait, nfeiit and future glory will be
born;
Wait, fight and pray! .

SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, GA.. SUNDAY. JUNE 13. 1915.
“With Its Traditional Love for Fair Play I Be
lieve America Is Willing to Examine and
Judge,” Says Archduke Karl Franz Josef.
By DR. L. F. ROCHE.
(Correspondent of The Sunday Amer
ican.)
VIENNA. June 12.—“I have confi
dence that a just nation like Ameri
ca will be just to Austria-Hungary. I
believe, too, that w.ith its traditional
love for justice and fair play, it is
willing to examine impartially the
facts and circumstances leading up
to this war. and to render a verdict
in accordance with the same.”
With this plea to America Arch
duke Karl Franz Josef, heir to the
throne of Austria-Hungary, prefaced
his first statement since the beginning
of the war, in' which his country is
playing such an important part.
The world has known ifttle of the
young Archduke. had heard little of
him untiL he was brought out of ab
solute owcurity by the crime of Sara
jevo.
It was only known ih a general way
that there was an Archduke Karl
Franz Josef, who was living quietly
somewhere within the borders of the
realm;, that he was a young jnan of
simple tastes, and so well behaved for
a royal Prince that fashionable peo
ple lost all interest in his existence.
Gets Enviable Aud$^nce.
The Archduke contracted a love
marriage with the consent and ap
proval of the aged Emperor. He was
thoroughly devoted to his young wife
and their family. He kept himself so
much In the backgrqund that there
were a lot of high society people in
Vienna w'ho had never met him.
When General von Hoen came to me
at the army headquarters and told
me that the Crown Prince would re
ceive me in a few minutes, 1 realized
that there were a good many highly
placed people in the monarchy and
elsewhere who would have gladly oc
cupied my shoes at that particular
moment.
I was ushered into a room of the
castle in which he was staying, and
was greeted by a tall, slim, handsome
and youthful looking officer, whom 1
took to be an aide-de-camp or gentle
man-in-waiting.
I was not long in discovering, how
ever. that the simple and kindly young
officer who welcomed me in good
American English, and without any
formality, was the heir to the Austro-
Hungarian throne.
No Evidence of Weakness.
The Crown Prince impressed me as
being of an exceptionally good type.
His fair face betrays his Saxon origin
on his mother’s side, but the blond
ness of his complexion is relieved by
the dark brown hair and mustache and
by dark eyes, which ate promptly sug
gestive of the Spanish strain. His
features are regular. The jaw is well
set and firm, and there are no out
standing evidences of weakness or of
abnormal tendencies in any direction.
As I talked with him I felt that he
was a normal, earnest and right-mind
ed young Prince, and that he had no
ambition to cut a big figure in the
world’s eyes. I believe that, if he had
his choice to-day, he would gladly re
turn to the quiet country life, with
its simplicity and freedom from the
exactions of court etiquette.
As he spoke of the war his face be
came exceedingly grave and thought
ful. He was no longer a young man,
animated by the joyousness and ir
responsibility of youth. The red stream
being poured out a few miles to the
west could not be forgotten or over
looked It was the precious life blood
of his future subjects, and it was easy
to see that their sorrows weighed
heavily upon his soul and made him
thoughtful beyond his years. ,
Pleads for Country.
He pleaded religiously for the cause
of his country, continuing;
“Austria-Hungary is innocent of
any wish or desire to provoke this
world-wide conflict. Her initial step
agaipst Serbia was taken to vindicate
elementary national rights and to put
an end to a mischievous propaganda.
That propaganda, as the world knows,
deprived the monarchy of a well be
loved heir to the throne and made it
impossible to overlook the circum
stances in which the crime of Sara
jevo had its origin. Let America put
herself in this monarchy’s place and
let her people judge as to what repa
ration they would have demanded un
der similar circumstances.
“Serbia had an opportunity to make,
amends. We made it plain to the
world that we were not seeking her
territory. We wished to put an end,
once and for all. to an intolerable
meddling with our domestic affairs.
“If this monarchy had been left to
deal with'Serbia alone, there would
have been no war and the matter
would hav^ been settled long ago. It
is well to keep this fact steadily in
view, now that the original Issues have
become somewhat obscured.
Word of Advice Not Given Serbia.
“Americans have naturally inquired
why it was that Serbia had recourse
to arms in preference to acceding, to
demands that were just and reasona
ble under the circumstances, and
which had in view the safeguarding of
elementary national rights. They
have naturally Inquired why it was
that Russian forces were mobilized
upon the Austro-Hungarian frontier,
when a word of friendly advice to
Serbia would have rendered a war
needless and unnecessary. Unfortu
nately, that word of good advice was
not given, but, on the contrary, a fatal
order to mobilize, which has conven
ed Europe into an armed camp and 1
has brought untold misery upon both j
neutrals and belligerents.
“I wish to express clearly the con- j
viction that Austria-Hungary and i
Germany are to-day waging a war of .
defense which they have striven for!
years to avert and postpone. Let your j
countrymen bear in mind Russia’s :
Pan-Slavic campaign during th^ last j
two decades. Let them remember that
it was Russia that first mobilized her
forces on the Austro-Hungarian fron
tier, and they may understand why
both countries were f ireed to hold
themselves in readiness for a war‘of
defense
“I am happy to state, at the same
time, that this war has shown the
fundamerttal unity of the monarchy
and has demonstrated the deep-seated
loyalty of all the nationalities living
within its borders. This loyalty has
not surprised those w r ho know' our
people, though it may have surprised
those who wrongly counted upon their
disaffection.
“I wish to state, too. that between
this monarchy and her powerful ally
there is the utmost harmony on all
questions affecting the conduct of the
war. Tlfat harmony and unity will
continue until we have reached our
goal, which is an honorable and an en
during peace.”

Many thousands of women are now
adays paying attention to physical
culture and the proper exercise or
their body muscles, where, thirty
years ago or fifty years ago, there was
no thought expended on this science,
which is quite necessary to physical
beauty The reason the Greeks, both
men and women, excelled in beautiful
and symmetrical forms was because
of the attention they paid to the
proper exercise. Then, too, they were
untrammeled by corsets, shoes and
the inconveniences of clothing. To
the minds of some women the idea of
physical exercise conveys . only the
idea of hard, fatiguing work.' Mild ex
ercise continued day after day is best
for the body and spirits and health.
Without proper exercise there can be
no health, and without health there
can be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof of the
sound remedial value of Dr Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription than that it re
stores the wasted form to its wonted
roundness.
The mighty restorative power of
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription

to disappear—compels the organs to

It is a wonderful prescription pre

Pro-Germanism of Christian Is
Cause of Separation From
Queen Victoria's Daughter.
LONDON, June 12.—The pro
nounced! pro-Germanism of the
Prince Christian has led to the Prince
and Princess entering into a deed of
separation.
The Prince, since the outbreak of
the war, has openly expressed his
sympathies ir^ public and private with
his native country, and, his non,
Prihce Albert, of course, is fighting
on The German side.
They’d ncess. who is a daughter of
Queen Victoria and whose sympathies
are entirely with England, has found
her position almost intolerable for
some time past owing to the r^ro-
Germanlsm of the Prince.
Her ' royal highness was on the
original committee chosen by Queen
Mary in connection with the man
agement of Queen Mary’s fund, but It
was intimated to Queen Mary that
every other lady asked to serve on It
would resign If the Princess re
mained on it, and her royal highness,
therefore, retired from it.
Apart from the social ostracism
which the Princess has been subject
ed to on account of l»er husband's
pro-Germanism, l\er royal highness
for the same reason found herself
the objeot of a certain suspicion still
more intolerable in official quarters.
Most of her correspondence is cen
sored, her movements are constantly
shadowed and she has been from
time to time prohibited from going
beyond the five-mile limit from Lon
don. The Prince to these restrictions
and inconveniences Is quite indiffer
ent. but by the Princess they are
strongly resented. To end them, at
least In part, the Princess has en
tered into a private deed of separa
tion from the Prince.
The King consented to this course
last week. The Prince will occupy
Cumberland Lodge at Windsor and
the Princess will be provided with
rooms at St. James’ Palace by the
King. After the war the Prince will
go back to Germany and the Princess
will continue to live in England.
- The Princess has an annuity of
6.000 pounds per annum settled on her
by the State at her marriage. This
Is the whole Income at present of,
the Christian household, as the
Prince ca nnot receive any income
from his German estate, which
amounts to about 4.000 pounds per
annum, until the war is over. The
King has, therefore, agreed to ad
vance him 1,000 pounds per annum
until then; and the Princess will al
low him another 1,000 pounds per
annum.

LONDON, June 12.—“Care of
Nation’s Motherhood” was considered
at a meeting held in the Duchess of
Marlborough’s residence, Sunderland
House, Mayfair, under the auspices of f
the National Council of Public Moral*.' ^
The Bishop of Birmingham said:
"In times of war there are diffi
culties and temptations to both sexes,
but there has been terrible exaggera
tion in regard to the moral condition
of our army. The Council of Public
Morals Is making Inquiries into the
truth of these statements. Although
it is true there Is a certain amount
of Immorality, so far as we can Judge,
the exaggeration on this subject has
been gross and unpardonable.”
The meeting adopted a resolution
to the effect that It Is urgently desir
able to establish throughout the coun
try maternity centers for the care of
mothers and children, such centers to
receive financial assistance from the
public funds. Another resolution
adopted was that a special govern
ment sub-department ought to be con
stituted to supervise the care of the
nation’s motherhood.
