Hoboksn,. p.prav.a Boys.

Tt is a sad commentary upon the age in
which we live that a number of parents
in Hoboken should rave to call upon the
police to take charge of their children
as incorrigibles at the age of twelve. II
the boys were fifteen or sixteen, 1t Woulo
be shocking to see SO many of them 60
ing to the bad. But that they should have
become confirmed in vic~iousness before
reaching their teens is simply appalling.
It would seem as If the ultra-humani-
tartan fads of the period had developed
a sort of parental imbecility. Nothing
else can account for the wholesale revolt
of infancy against moral control, which
has become a latter-day feature of police
court experience. In teaching children to
be s~elf-confdent and parents and teach
ers to be gentle, we have expunged the
word discipline" from our modern vo-
cabularv. and the consequences are only
too apparent in every walk of life.
These young anarchists of the Hoboken
slums are not the only products OF our
neration of the wisdom of centuries. Par
allel evils are to be observed in every cir
Gle. The i~ll-mannered, reckless and cal
lowly sceptical young men, and the hoy
tfenish and semi-fast up-to-date girls, who
are so disagreeably prevalent even in
tour best circles are equally with
young zone Eye "Boo-Boo'' and Red
Lung disgusting products of the neglect
Of Solomonss golden rule.
For all the existing evils, the faddish
educators and unmarried women REFORM
ers of the day are largely responsible.
The sooner the theorists cease trying to
make human beings men and women be-
fore they have had time to be children,
the sooner they realize that obedience
must be cultivated and discipline acquired
before command, even of oneself, becomes
safe, the sooner will the world be rid of
the premature products of human deprav-
ity and frailty which are just now such
a trouble to the very theorists who are
responsible for their existence.

Hoboken. Friday afternoon, still lies at
ST. Mary's Hospital in a ~precarious con-

The hospital surgeons have been unable
to decide whether he is the victim Of
Knockout drops or over indulgence of
LIQUOR. Turkie is semi-conscious and at
lucid intervals has told the sisters in the
hospital, who attend him hat he drank
whiskey, but was unable to tell where he
obtained It. Although his parents have
been notified by the police, nobody has
called at hi hospital, which the police
consider remarkably strange and are
making an Investigation.
1T has not been learned who accom-

Hoboken or where he obtained h liquor
which stupefied him. The police claim

Seriousness Modified
The information contained in the
above statement was received early in
the evening, but it was not announced
officially until several hours later. As
a result Of its receipt, however. a con,
ference of prominent officials was held
at the White House immediately.
One Of the officials who attended the
conference said, after the news had
been officially announced. that it very
materially modified the seriousness of
the situation. The destruction of the
fleet, which was not confirmed until a
few minutes before the news was riven
to the public, removes by far the most
scrions obstacle to the occupation Of
Santiago by the American land forces.

OF Friday and Saturday reports show
that the Spanish feet did awful execu-

inches in thickness and her deck armor

OF two ll-inch, ten 5.5-inch Hoptorfa

and two mitralleuse. She had two
masts with military tops, two turrets,
two smokestacks and a ram bow. She
carried six torpedo tubes. was capable
OF a speed of twenty knots, and her
complement was 800 men.
The Almirante Oquendo was in almost
every respect a duplicate Of the Vizcava.
The Cristobol Colon had displacement
Of 6,S40 tons, and was 1928 feet long.
She had six-inch armor both at the
water line and at the gun positions.

armament consisted of two lO-incb

The Spanish made an attack in force
on our positions, pouring in volIeyafter
volley IN quick succession and with re.
markable regularity. Our return fire
was certainly effective, and continued
strong after the Spanish vollevs had.
become rarer and less heavy. Mean
time the batteries on Grimes hill kent

Spanish feet was less active. and ap-
pareutly gave our left little trouble.

his troops are already in the CITY. where

when the Associated Press correspond
