Reports show that the underlying causes
of the Free Youth Movement are deeper
than any questions of the war or the repa.

which caused the war was but a part. The
world is familiar with the exacting dis
cipline Of the German army and the mechan
1cal precision of German efficiency.
From One Extreme to Another
The Free Youth throw off the entire yoke
and, as might be expected, have gone to the
opposite extreme of absolute liberty. It is
certain that middle ground will be found,
but it is declared to be equally certain that
the Free Youth will never return to the old
strict discipline. 1t is reported that bands of
them walk through the spring fields singing
old folksongs, and picking up recruits from
the farms and villages as they pass. Every

the Freie Deutsche Jugend can be found On d

is regarded seriously by the highest officials.
An interesting aspect of the movement is
that it is being supported by certain adults

The Good Old Summertime

about with him. And he seems like
prince to her, and when the time comes to
say goodby to the summer girl, he finds
out to his CONSERVATION that she has fallen
in love with him.
And the man didn't mean to get hurt
himself, or to hurt anybody else, and be
is staggered by the bill with fate that he
has been fool enough to run up just be-
cause it was summertime.
Women are not wiser, or more prudent.
because the women who are models of pro-
priety at home in winter, kick over the
traces when they are abroad in the dog days.
Mothers let their children run wild while
they spoon with some callow youth, young
enough to be their son, although they we'll
know that. by so doing they are throwing
their reputation to the hotel veranda cats
to tear to pieces, for at a summer resort no
woman with daughter ever forgives
married woman for grabbing off a man.
In the summer, women play bridge for
stakes that would make their hair stand
on end with horror in the winter, and run
up gambling debts that they have to pawn
their jewels to pay, and lie to their hus-
bands about when they get home.
And in particular, in summer, women
babble with drunken responsibility, and
tongues cut out for repeating. They don't
know why themselves, but just because it
is twilight or bedtime, and woman finds
herself sitting by some sympathetic woman
who is good listener, she will tell to a
perfect stranger family secrets that disgrace
those nearest and dearest to- her, and con-
fide the story of her own life and things
about her husband that he would rather
die than have known.
Many a woman lies awake nights remem-
bering the things she told in the summer,
and praying the gods that the woman she
confided in has a short memory, or doesn't
know anyone in her home town
If grown men and women with knowledge
of the world and experience Of life pack
away their discretion in moth balls with
their winter overcoats and furs, who shall
blame the young for the fol1ies they COM
NIT in summer? Who shall wonder at de-
cent girls picking UP chance acquai1tances,
or having love affairs with men of whom
they know nothing, and who turn out to be
unreformed Jail birds?
Who shall marvel that nice girls are silly
enough to let themselves be snapshotted in
sentimental attitudes that meant nothing on
a lark, but look compromising when viewed
in the cold light of winters day? Or
that they write love notes that papa has to
buy back at a high price?
Perhaps the great refrain of the song of
| summer is "Why Did I Do It? Why Did
I Do It?" Nobody knows the answer, but
the warning is unmistakable.
Don't do thing in summer that you
will be ashamed to remember in winter.

Sbeak;na of Large Gifts

-HE recent donation, of million dollars
to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art
by Mr. George F. Baker, for years one
of it's trustees and peculiarly valued friends,
is a happy omen of the times When persons
of large means give thus literally to the in
terests of art, of science, of education, and OF
philanthropy, that their wealth finds
it's way to the enrichment OF multltudes OF
human spirits and the lifting up of the world S
ideals, then assuredly are great possessions
finding their proper use.
Such examples, moreover, should inspire a
host of others who, although not millionaires,
have prospered fabundantly and have ample
opportunities to serve these higher realms OF
the common veal. The colleges and universe
ties of the South are in especial need of gen.
erous legacies. Why should not they be re-
membered as loyalty as are those Of the East?
Atlanta is in especial need Of museum OF
art. Would it not be beautiful and never
forgotten deed for the exceptionally fortunate
to add exceptional means to the efforts of the
rank and file to establish and upbu1ld such
an institution?
No longer does the South lack means for
large gifts to education and art and phllan-
thropy-nor does she lack liberal givers. But
the excellent custom of giving might we'll be-
come far more extensive. Regions there are in
which it is a marked exception for persons of
wealth to make requests without generous
provision for some sort Of educational artis-
tic, or philanthropic enterprise. May the
day come speedily when that will be true OF
Georgia and the great-hearted South.
During a dinner party the conversation
turned upon good-looking people. One
woman said, think all the good-looking
men have stayed away from this dinner par
ty." The man to whom the remark was
made said, "Oh, think all the good-looking
women are with us tonight" Then the
woman, thinking a compliment had been
paid her, added, "Of course, I mean present
company excepted" Whereupon the man
said, "oh, of course. that's what meant to
say"

= ASHNGTON.

VIZ ASH1NGTON, D. c., June THE
/ wv statesmen who are seeking to settle
economic and political affairs in Eu-
rope are confronted by an extraordinary de-
velopment which is upsetting many calcula-
lions. 1t is revolutionary movement on the
part of the rising generation in middle Eu-
rope, particularly in Germany and Austria.
Its members, scores of thousands in number,
refer to it as the Freie Deutsche Jugend or
the Free Youth of Germany.
The movement consists of the youth of the
land, ranging in age from mere striplings of
10 or IL years to students and young men
up to rs years of age. These youths, both
boys and girls, have revolted from the So
cial, political and economic ties which have
bound them for generations, and have de-
clared their emancipation. y
The manifest demonstrations of the move
ment appear in the literal freedom of these
youngsters. They have become sort Of
high class of tramps or gypsies. In twos,
threes or groups larger in number, they
wander about Germany and Austria, tasting
their first absolute liberty. To understand
this, 1t must be remembered that everyone
In middle Europe is poor whether he tramps
the road or stays at home. If he stays at
home and works he is paid in money which
may be worth only half as much tomorrow as
it is today. There is little inducement for him
to work
By wandering about the country, healthy
young man or girl can pick up odd jobs of
work in return for meals or a nights lodg-
ing. On warm nights it is no hardship to
sleep under hedges or in haystacks in barns
or in the fragrant fields beneath the stars.
The serious importance of the Free Youth
Movement is seen by the statesmen attempt
ing to solve European problems in the fact
that the new generation of workers is slip
ping out Of the harness of the old economic
system. The statesmen do not declare this is
wrong; they merely are forced to recognize
that if the movement continues, they must
alter completely their calculations of how
debts are to be paid and how the worlds
work is to be done. =.
What Worries the Statesmen
The big question as to Germany is this:
Under the Versailles treaty, Germany owes
tt Allies hundreds of millions of dollars in
reparations, payable in money or in goods
1t is the plan that these payments shall ex-
tend over number of years. But If the ris-
ing generation of workers strikes in this
manner and declines to do the Industrial
labor to produce the wealth or money with
which to pay the reparations, the statesmen
who have been counting on continuation of
the old system are confronted by dilemma
for which there is no obvious solution
! The attitude of the Free Youth is that

4 Declining Death Rate

a .CCOhDlIHG TO LuS OCdLlSLlcdl bulletin Oh
~ the Metropolitan, Life Insurance COM
pany of New York, the mortality rate
of it's colored policyholuers is declining with
notable rapidity.
The industrial department of this company
has about 100000 eolored policyholders,
apportioned throughout the United States.
In 1911, the mortality was IT'S per 1000.
In 1921 the rate had declined to 1872 per
1000 drop of Is per cent. T.
The article states that the improvement is
noticed in many directions; that is, the de-
cline in death-rate is in many diseases
tuberculosis, pneumonia, heart disease,
Brights disease, malaria, typhoid fever and
pellagra
"The improvement is not localized" it
says. Scarcely a state but shows a de-
cline"
This is encouraging news for the con-
scientious citizens of both white and negro
races who have worked unremittngly for
better housing and living and working con-
ditions, and more medical attention, for the
negroes But it is said that the ratio, inn
proved as it is, still. shows 'glaring def
cheney" in the health provisions for these
people.
In this connection, it may be added that
the insurance companies operated by negroes
themselves are showing a commendable and
intelligent activity in the development of
public-health work and welfare services
among their people.

praiseworthy regularity nine months of the
