Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondents to The Press
LONpuN, May l9.-The Ameri-
can boy, vie awake, aggressive,
emphatic in his opinions and
abreast of the times, makes no hit
with the Englishman. The English
newspapers are giving columns of
space to a discussion of the young
ster as compared with his more
stolid English cousin.
None of them commend the
American boy.
One prominent writer just re-
turned from the United States cites
the case of an American youngster,
son of a millionaire, who set up a
lemonade stand in the shade of a
partially built skyscraper in New
York, and sold lemonade to the
workmen, using three English
youngsters of his acquaintance TO
carry it to the purchasers. When
these boys became thirsty from
their exertions, it is related, he re-
fused to give them a glass each OF
his stock unless they would pay
for 1t!
And, adds the British writer. the
average American to whom he told
the story saw no more in it than
the business instinct of the Ameri-
can youth and the stupidity of the
English youngsters.
The writer further declares that
the American boys animating idea
is to get money. There was an
American boy at the same hotel as
myself" he says, who could tell
you exactly how much money each
guest was worth; and they ranked
accordingly in his infantile mind as
100000 dollar men, 100000, and so
on.
And what are you going to be?'
| asked this precocious man of the
world. He thought for the moment.
"'Oh, I'm going one better'n any

American boy thrusting his shrill
voice into everything, and giving
his opinions on all conceivable sub
jects with the utmost effrontery.
THE culture of Europe did not
appeal to him in the least. If you
talked to him of the great men of
history, his one remark was, Dead,
amt they?' as if that settled the

TRIAL BEGUN

on charge of numbering Carl
Schultz, a motorman, in his room
in the Kaiser hotel. Hawkenberry
was one of the first on the scene
following the sound of the shot.
Others saw him leave the hotel for
a few minutes Immediately there
after.
The superstition is that he went
out to dispose of the revolver. The
evidence against him is circum-

THE AMERICAN YOUTH

THE American boy has little

is something finer in the world

does not involve the pursuit of
money, | would back the English
boy to come out top against the
