NO USE OF TALKING
PEACE THIS SUMMER
Both Sides Too Confident Of
Winning to Entertain
Proposition
By Carl W. Ackerman

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Berlin, May 26.-President Wilson
should not make an attempt to inter.
vene in the war at present, it was de.
clared here today. Two neutral am.
bassadors told the United Press today
that peace this summer is impossible.
Recent exchanges between the belliger.
ents capitals indicate both sides are
too confident of winning to listen to
peace proposals now.
One envoy said he believed fighting
would cease in October, basing his
opinion on a conviction that the sum-
mer IS fighting would indicate an un-
breakable deadlock on all fronts. Peace
suggestions could then be carried
through the winter, taking at least one
year for their consummation.
Ambassadors believe some neutral
ruler other than President Wilson has
a better chance than he to conclude
peace. President Wilson, s stand on
the allied blockade will answer the
question of whether he is satisfactory
to Germany as a peace maker.

Making Sonny Mind.

Differences of opinion as to whether
Sonny ought to be made to mind, and
controversies as to methods of disciplin-
ing him make the most trying of all do
mestic ordeals.
Father blames mother as "too easy"
mother says father is hard" and the
result, so far as Sonny himself is con-
cerned. is as bad as bad can be.
1t seems, however, that neither father
nor mother are really to be blamed be-
cause they have never taken a course in
This new school of philosophy is not
another scheme for plastering culture on
to the babe in its cradle; on the contrary,
it looks more like reversion to the nat
ural methods of letting the child grow
up, which our ancestors considered whole
some.
DR.. Henderson Brooke Deadly, one of
its leading opponents, recently returned
from Zurich, where psycho-analysis orig
mated, says:
Bringing up children is JUST COM
MON SENSE.
Indirectly as well as directly, its sue
cess lies in the mental attitude of the
parents.
Children. if normal, and if LARGELY
LET ALONE become progressively adult
psychically as well as mentally, in pro-
portion with their increase in years and
stature"
DR.. Deadly believes that one of the big
things which interferes with child's de-
velopment is the mother "who refuses to
let her child grow up, not, as we have
oeen taught to think, from deep and adj
nirable motherliness, but from the fact
that the mother herself has remained a
.hild."
Removing the limitations of parents is
according to psycho-analysis the first i'm
,ortant step in child training.
