And here he was. writing his mes
sage to America, with no suggestion

would do the others that would follow.
He was still going at full speed. TAX
ing no moment to stimulate his
thought and creating Immediately in
the final form.
That is another American quality of
his, his immediacy. In both thought
and action Mussolini Is so immediate
that he is almost precedent. He is
American in his keen and complete
sense of the moment and he exploits
the possibility Of every moment to It's
limit. Here is his creed:
The great hour does not strike
every hour. nor on every clock. The
wheel of destiny passes. He In wise
who, being vigilant. grasps It at the
instant when It turns before him."

rogue period. covered with smooth
stucco, until the spirit Of st. Francis

plans and remarked at once: This is
thing that should be done. If there
Is no money, we shall find the money"
And two days later the Assisans had
the now famous gift of a million lire
and had begun the work of restora.

Il in the United States and democracy
al 1t was in Italy are entirely different
things" The democracy that Musso-
lini is opposed to Is not our American
democracy, but the endless, chattering
parliamentarism that went by that
name. without policy, responsibility or
execution. In our sense of the word
Mussolini Is exceedingly democratic.
CON of blacksmith, though an in
~ telligent one, and a student of
politics, he himself has not hesitated
to be a laborer TO earn his bread. He
Is a magnificent example of the self
made man. And so many of our own
successful great men have been self
made that the type seems to us and
to many Europeans peculiarly Ameri-
can. In the resultant variety OF his
career lies one of the secrets OF Mus
solini's strength today. 1t has given
him an intimate human approach to
almost every one, and Mussolini ad-
dresses workmen, teachers, students,
musicians, soldiers, editors, aviatOrs,
farmers and diplomats as colleague.
Like an American, he Is at his ease

to king This simplicity of his Is

YOUTH CALLED

By MILLER HOLLAND

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE
youth Of a generation or 50 ago
was morally worse than the youth
of today In the opinion OF DR.. Lynn
r. White, professor Of social ethics
in the San Francisco Theological
Seminary OF the Presbyterian
Church.
And not only that, DR.. White
says, but It Is unfair TO compare
the morals OF today's younger gen.
GRAFTON with those OF the generation
Of 80 years ago.
at is unsportsmanlike, 70 put It
mildly" DIR. White declares, ''for

flurl vitriolic bolts at the boys and
girls who are the first generation
in history to have these things
and who have not yet armed to

Generation Improved
There is no doubt about it. DR..
White believes, but that the 1res.
ent younger generation is more in.
telIigent, more thoughtful and
cleaner than the generation Of 20
years or so ago.
Regarding the much talked of
degeneration and wildness among
college students, DR.. White says;
1.-THE undergraduates in our co
leges and universities have already
been educated beyond the moral
standards of the alumni.

PRESSURE
WATER IS PLAN
Kick: Say, how much
are We umbrellas down?

A new study Of the proposal to in
stall q high-pressure system in
downtown washington Is to be made
by the special committee appointed
to study that proposition by the
District Commissioners.
What need there ID for such a
system here, how extensive q system
would be needed, and what it would
cost, are some Of the things the COM
rllttee Will decide.
An effort will also be made to find
out how much local citizens would
save in insurance premiums from
such q system.
An estimate made three years
ago figured the installation Of q
high pressure system here would
cost 81 1896, 900. At q meeting of
the committee yesterday it was
pointed out that this would probably
be increased materially. because q
high.pressure system constructed
now would take In more territory
than the one planned at that time.
Even at that fiugre It would add
