AUSTRIAN YOUTHS IN WAR

The Austrian newspapers are devot.
ing considerable space at present to
the part played by schoolboys In the
present war. They are affectionately
termed the war boys" and in the op-
of great assistance to the troops.
In some of the artillery battles, es-
pecially those which centered around
Czernovitz and Weinberg. schoolboys
in large numbers braved the shells and
carried water and ammunition for the
troops.
After battle they would go over the
field and gather pieces of shrapnel and
the shells Of cartridges to be made
over again into ammunition. Occa-
sionally a boy thus sacrificed his life,
but this did not deter the ardor of his
companions.
Many Of the boys followed the in
fantry regiments and fought and slept
with the soldiers in the trenches. The
boys who remained at home took the
place of their fathers and brothers who
were at the front.
The story is told of fourteen.year-
old youngster who all alone managed
the biggest hotel in Czernovitz. He
looked personally after his own cashier
and bookkeeper. Other boys peddled
goods among the soldiers and SO
earned a good living for their mothers.
Some became guides. and many an
army automobile had as guide bright
schoolboy who sat beside the chauf-
fear and showed him the right road.
| 1t is said that when the history OF
this war is written the schoolboys of
Austria will deserve q prominent place
In its pages.

DOES KISSING MEAN LovEa

One kiss from all others exalts me.
And sets all my pulses astir.
AmG orrns urn On my Ups aa ana r hss
One kiss for all others requites me
Although 1t Is never to be,
And sweetens my dreams and invites me:
TITS the kiss that she, dare not give me.
There are foolish maidens and there
are wise ones. The foolish maid be-
lieves all the fairy stories concerning
love which the jolly. handsome young
man who calls upon her tells her.
There Is class of young men who
make love without intentions. They
are not sincere. nor do they spend
much thought of how the girl may con-
slider their so-called devotion.
Such young men have not brains
enough to win the average girl by
earnest. manly conversational powers.
They resort to pleading for kisses. to
awaken her tenderness and win her
heart. Whatever liking they have for
the girl is sure to die out II the maiden
does not repulse their effrontery. The
girls whom such men kiss without be-
ing betrothed to they make up their
minds they, will never lead to the al
tar.
Love is a.curious problem. Even
while q free lance is most ardently
pleading for kisses he il hoping down
in his heart that the girl will have
modesty and self-will enough to refuse.
Men know that kisses do not awaken
love. They are more apt to disillusion-
ize the man at least. Men sigh for

He can even fiirt. with others and she
has not the right to call him to ac-

The kisses they have exchanged
have not given her hold upon him.
On the contrary. she has lost the adj
miration he first entertained for her.
The roue and the free lance use all
sorts of arguments to Offset this rea-
soning of mine in my warning to girla
They know II there were no kissing
fewer girls would be lured along the
downward path.
The kiss should always mean mar
riage to follow. For it-should be given
only as sacred, solemn, sanction Of
betrothal. It means much to the right
kind of lovers. The man loves and
respects her. He is too fearful Of los
ing her to ask repetition of the kiss
until it is given at the altar. No mat
ter how plain girl may be, II her lips
are chaste from kissing she can have

ers. She need never fear that she
will not be wife. Allowing kissing
is the best way In the world for girl
to lose a good lover: after they have
lost in this way they will be sadder
but wiser.

It was on q New Year day that I
drove out to Malabar hill. where are
located the Towers of Silence. or the
Parsee cemetery. Every traveller takes
this drive. 1t is past the other ceme-
teries, Christian and Mohammedan
burial grounds and the Hindu burning
chat. The cemetery OF the Christians
II no longer used. but on almost any
day there will be Mohammedan fu.

On this day there were two Moham.

Hindu mourners, with their respective
burdens at the burning CHAT.

is entrance permitted to the fire tenn

and seven kinds OF incense are burned.

Whether In Bombay or Benares, the

There is simple arithmeticai meth

without question the fact that such

about the calendar.
