Declares, However, That His Dad Gave Him the Worst
Licking-Has few Things to Say About Women
Just the Same F orty Years Ago.

Them was the happy days"-the
Gays When John L.. was king. If You
doubt it Just talk to John l.. himself
John will tell you. He will tell you
that the world has not progressed an
inch in forty years; in fact it is COINS
back.
why. we haven't a thing today
that we didn't have forty years G
we cant do a thing that we couldn't
do when l was u boy. You can't tell
mel know. ] have seen both the
past and the present and you, my lad,
nave only seen the present. AXE any
lie yoa want-any sport you want,
and it's the same. Ball players are
not what they used to be in the days
of Kelly and Arson. Neither have
we oarsmen, billiardiste, actors, rum
ners.
Flights? Bah! OF course. some of
the lighter classes are fair and good,
but the white hopes-AWFUL. They
are SO bad that I cannot bear to go
and look at them. They should he

false pretenses. I wish that I was
fighting nowadays.

haired. talkstive John. His brain is
as keen as it. ever was, and don't you
forget 1t Sullivan was snart-one of
the smartest that aver climbed within
the ropes. lie dislikes TO ak of his

Inferior" quizzed John, right back at
u query.
Women to Blame.
"Why I tell you. 1t is mostly the
fault Of the women. People don't
live right any more. Women squeeze
themselves almost in two with corsets,
and then besides they don't want chill
dren anyway. In the olden days ma
ture was allowed to take her course,
and a generation of fine big men re-
suited. Why there is not q fighter

KING Of. Italy, reported at. various
times during the past two months as
grave, is said to be due to anxiety
over the state of health of the queen.
Under these conditions the approach
ing eighteenth anniversary Of their
marriage on Oct. "a, an event here
tofore celebrated by these two royal
lovers with family reioicings, has
augmented the grief Of the king.
For the past two months stories
have been circulated of the illness
of Princess Yolande, age 10, the ED
est child of the Italian royal house.
Princess. Yolande, conceded to be the
most beautiful royal girl in Europe,
has been suffering from hysteria. It
is known that the young princess has
learned Of the serious condition of
her mother and that her own malady
has developed from grief.
The family life of the royal family
of Italy is an ideal one. No mother
of the people lives in more complete
intimacy with her children than does
Queen Helena. The love which both
she and King Victor Emmanuel have
lavished upon their three daughters
and one son has been returned in
full. This is especially true of the
eldest child, Princess Yolande, who
adores her mother
That the queen of Italy, always
willing to sacrifice her own interests
and desires in behalf of the land of
her husband, has been deeply wor-
ried over the fate of her native Mon
tenegTo in the present war crisis is
well known Italy's long-maintained
neutrality has without question caUs-
ed the queen grave anxiety. Her nat
ural adherence Of warfare, her wish
to see the land of her adoption save
its sons from falling in needless waste
on the field of battle has been aug
mented by fear for Montenegro, the
land she desires to have protected.

Rome, Oct. (By Mail to New
York Behind the official attitude
of Italy in the great war drama OF
Europe there turks a tragedy OF do
nestle sadness which has unques-
tionably played it's part in the efforts
King Victor Emmanuel has made to
prevent his country becoming inVolv-
ing in the great conflict.
1t is now known in official circles
that Queen Helena expects to become
a mother the first part of December.
This happy event in the most 'dOmes-
tic of European royal families is to-
day tinged with sorrow unknown
upon the four preceding occasions
when the queen presented Italy with
three princesses and the heir to the
throne.
It has been acknowledged by the
court physicians that the beloved and
beautiful queen is suffering from
cancer of the arm. The delicate con-
dition of the queen has made an
operation impossible.
At the time Of the Messina disas-
ter queen Helena WORKED among Lne
destitute and unfortunate with a
courage which won new affection for
here from the Italian people. At this
time, while caring for a miserable
family, the queen received a severe
blow on the arm. For some time she
experienced discomfort, but it was
not until the last few months that
the disease developed in serious
form.
