HATS OFF TO THE AMERICAN BOY
He Has Improved Markedly Of Late,
Declares q Careful Observer.


George Harvey in North American Review.
It seems to us that the quality of the
boy now growing up in this country is pc
culiarly fine. He is not only less OBJ
streperous and egotistical. but clearer and
cleaner minded than the lad OF twenty
years ago. His advance physically will be
manifest to any one who will compare the
figures in a class photograph Of today with
those of yesterday. He Is taller straighter.
better featured, finer haired. handsomer
and more like thoroughbred in every way.
The exercise to which much Of this I'M
provement Is attributable may be no more
jealous, but 1t seems to be less spasmodic.
more consistent and better adapted to It's
true purpose. AS an Inevitable sequence,
his habits have become more regular, I'M
proving in turn his manners.
Altogether he has become attractive.

greater delicacy, but chiefly In purely
masculine way. since In point OF reality
he was never before 30 manly or 30 scru-

her prototype donned cap and became
frankly middle-aged at marriage. From
that day the principal feature OF her per-
sonal appearance-her hgure-ceased to In
terest her especially. and at forty she was
satisfactory to a degree as mother. but
utterly worthless as a comrade and help
er. Today at forty-five she is her daugh-
ter's equal In appearance. and usually, we
believe her superior In the possession OF
that mysterious, tndef1nable, yet peculiarly
fascinating quality known as charm" She
has not only maintained. but enhanced.
her attractiveness by growing with, as Wen
as for. her children.
It Is this daily association from baby
hood with her to whom instinct accords
earliest reverence that has refined the boy
The father may have been no less cor
genial as a comrade, but circumstances
have minimized in a comparative sense his
helpfulness as friend. Himself the PROD
uct of a generation less carefully trained
and possessing the dissatisfaction OF per
sonal success he is unable to perceive the
desirability of a change In method tending
to broaden development. Hence his patron
izing attitude, his disposition to continue
to treat as a child the son rapidly ap-
preaching manhood.
1t Is the mother, persisting in being
girl, who Is glad to be regarded and treated
by the boy as an Intellectual equal. To
her, therefore, belongs the credit OF q
transformation which we believe to be
clearly perceivable, and which BODIES the
greatest good to this vast American or
ganism which soon will require the finest
mental and moral fiber yet demanded by
civilization.

Discussion IN Berlin Regarding Pos
sibility of Trouble.

Berlin Dec. 15.-The relations between the
United States and Japan excite extraordinary
interest both in government and diplomatic
circles here. Emperor William discussed the
question with several persons recently. and is
thoroughly informed regarding President Roose-
vet's personal views the subject
1t is believed that Russas more resoiute atti-
tude against Japan's requests for trade and
colonization rights on the Amur River and in
Siberia, and for fishery privileges on the ada
cent Russian coasts is partly due to the discus
sion of the California school question between
the United States and Japan. The Russian For
eign Office has been subjected to steady. diplo-
matte pressure the part OF Japan in the lat
ter's efforts to obtain these far reaching rights
and has been impressed much by this as by
Japan's firmness. The result is that the idea
has been created at the Russian Foreign Office
that Japan might make her ambitions the occa-
sion for a renewal OF the war with Russia This
idea pervaded the conversations which the Rus
sian Foreign Minister. NJ Iswolsky, had with
the government officials and others whom he
met here six weeks ago Nj. Iswoisky met many
prominent people here and talked with extraor-
binary freedom
Among German military and naval officers the
possibility OF q conflict between the United
States and Japan has been freely discussed and
the professional view appears 70 be that Japan
would take the Philippine Islands and place on
the United States the necessity OF conducting
the Pacific prolonged sea and land cam
paigns, which would call forth immense eyer
tions against great natural obstacles II was
known here In June that the British Admiralty
had considered theoretically the possibility OF
war between Japan and the United States as
likely to occur within twenty-five wears and
some OF the British naval men are reported 10
have expressed the belief that the contest would
within five years. In any case IL is GER
tain that several European foreign offfccs are
making inquiries regarding the temper OF the
Japanese people and ths govsrnmans OF Japan.

Berlin, Dec. 15.-The political fortune. OF the

garded by statesmen and other persons about the
court as having been placed in jeopardy by his
advice to Emperor William to dissolve the
Reichstag. Politicians already saying that If

Reichstag had ever seen from him. The Chan

desire to please as many parties as possible IN
q house divided into fourteen groups, was
dropped, and he spoke with such recllessness
Of the consequences that he created the i'm
preston that new Bulow was speaking.
To understand his psychological transforma-
ton it must be recalled that Won Btilow. through
out his chancellorship has been compelled to
construct his matorities as the occasion required
and that he only succeeded in so doing by max
ing dlsagreeable compromises at every step with
the Centre party. But he has felt that he had
long been nlisusng this peculiar situation in
order to enable him TO carry out the government
programme Moreover, the Chancellor is known

that he will remain in Office only a few years

something to secure the reputation of being

speech that no one supposed he was capable of

ergy during part OF his address that Dep

The Chancellor evidently felt that he was

freeing himself of all trammels. His courage
was no mere outbreak OF spontaneous enthusi-
asm. His breach with the Clerical party was
planned beforehand conditional upon its con-
ttnued opposition TO the governments measures

St Petersburg. Dec. 16-Another attempt on
the life of Admiral Doubassoff. Ex-Governor
General Of Moscow. made this afternoon.
but he escaped with slight injuries.
The admiral was walking along a rather soli-
tary path OF the Tauride Garden. In which the
lower house OF parliament is situated when
young man. dressed a workman. approached
and fired seven shots from revolver, but missed
the admiral. owing to his nervousness. The
Terrorist then turned and ran, with the admiral
in pursuit. Seeing that his capture was imni-
nent, DouDassoffs assailant threw bomb, which
he drew from his pocket, at his pursuer. Dou-
oassor was hurled to the ground by the explo-
sion Then a watohnlan up and seized the
Terrorist.
AS the admiral was rising a second Terrorist
appeared and threw a bomb. which passed over
MS head and did not explode. The second Ter
rorist then fired three shots from revolver. but
missed Doubassor then threw himself upon
the man. disarmed him. and held him until he
was seized and taken to the nearest police sta
ton
The attempt ON Doubassons life to-day is con-
nected with the trials Of the Moscow revolu-
tionists. now IN progress at Moscow. His as
sauants arc supposed to be workmen from that
city who were seeking to avenge their leopard
lied comrades, some Of whom have already been
condemned TO death The attempt was the lat

Three OF these conspiracies. In which young
men and woman Of a highly connected family
were concerned. were discovered and frustrated
by the Moscow police but another plot resulted
in the admirars right leg being injured by the
explosion OF a bomb He had only recently re-
covered from this injury. The leg injured to-
day is the Same which was hurt by the bomb at
Moscow in May
