Past-The Boy Present.

What's the matter with the boy?
1.-The average boy is too wise," says
President Carroll G. Pearse, of Mil
Waukee normal.
parents are too good" declares AL
Milwaukee schools.
Put 'em to work. sagely remarks
William L. Pieplow, school director.
All of which would tend to prove
that there IS really something the
matter with the modern boy.
Well, perhaps there is; then again,
perhaps not.
Yesterday the boys treated their
fathers with respect; now he is the
"Old Man" or the "Guy"
Then the boys stayed at home at
night to study books; now they go to
the pool room and master the gentle
art OF artistically putting cigarettes
Father was "boss'' of the home in
the good old days.; sonny rules with
rod of steel in the speedy present day.
The youths Of the past referred to
their fair friends as "ladies"; the
youths of the present call them
'chicken,' "squab," or "flusey"
AACAA VIC Aduo OldllC6u L140 lWO-SL0p
or the waltz; now they hug and
squirm the rag-time wiggle waggle
frazzles.
The lads Of yesterday were gentle
men; the lads of today-well-that
a question.
What's the matter, anyhow? Has
fathers good right arm lost it's cum
ming? Has the woodshed lost it's an
Gent reputation? Trunk straps, slip
pers, hairbrushes, switches-are these
only honored improvisions, mere
memories Of sterner and better
age?
Today the boy seems to be every
thing at home. He rules; he primps
and goeth forth to mash" the world
OF fema1es-and that's about all he
wants to do. Not all boys-but some
boys.
+ Some day the modern lad may re-
greet that father has lost the old-time
"wallop."
But then. the modern youth is liv-
ing today-the present is enough. He
lives and enjoys life. He lives fast
while 1t lasts
He is just as brainy as his earlier
brother. He learns just as quickly. He
is "different' it is true, but is it
change for. the worse?
He is changed; he lives in the twen-
tieth century and in a twentieth CEN
fury way.
life is not all in years-mo st of it
Is in living.
So, barring all real evils, perhaps
the boy of 1917 can be, just as good
and do just as we'll as they used to do
in the slower, sterner times of yester-
day-yes, better, if he will.
Perhaps the "old folks" have for
gotten the days of their youth; they're
not quite up to snuff in the modes
of this day. But pit any youth of 1917
against his age in the youth Of 1892
and see who's the winner. The field
Is open-will any of the critics accept
the modern boys challenge?

Austria Reported On Brink Of Ruin;
May Desert Germany and Make Peace
independence Of New Emperor
DiSpleases N embers Of

Czernin Influence Ruler in
His New Policy,

LONDON. Jan. 3.-That Emperor
Charles of Austria is alarmed at the
prospect Of long dFawn out war and
is determined to conclude peace at the
earliest possible moment. is a belief
which has gained wide currency in
London.
Spirit Of Independence.
Since his succession to the throne.
the new emperor has shown a spirit of
independence displeasing to Count Tis-
"a. Count Buriah, the foreign minister.
who recently resigned, and the other
members OF the Potsdam party in the
councils Of the dual empire. The ap-
pointment Of Count Won Czcrnin to sue
ceed Burian is regarded as a favorable
omen by the advocates OF peace. N
Emperor Charles peace sentiments
are accounted for by the terrible eco
nomic conditions IN Austria Hungary.
The country is believed to be on the
very brink of ruin Another year of
war might mean bankruptcy.
Cleaning Out Tools Of TisEa.
Under the tutelage Of Count Berch-
told. former foreign secretary, the en-
peror is trying to clean out Burian and
other tools OF Count Tisza. In his short
reign he has shown clear sightedness
determination and a sincere desire to
break away from the grip Of Germany
Reports that separate overtures "a
Italy from Austria have been made are
premature, II is undoubtedly true that
Emperor Charles has high hopes OF q
speedy ending OF the war and is willing
to make large sacrifices Of territory to
Italy rather than 10 see the disin.egra-
CATION Of his kingdom, but Italian
statesmen have taken appreciation oi
the whole situation and realize the ad
yantages to be gained BY continuing to
the end.
