The fighting instinot Is part of the boy's character, and I have seen so many boys who have the fighting instinct killed In them by the unwise conduct of a mother or a teacher, who should have guided it aright, so that it became a power for moral "The gang is pretty near right. The street boy is a wonder. When you are standing alongside the East Side boy you are standing alongside the real thing. I would rather have a crap-shooting East Side hoy than a pious, mealy-mouthed kid saying his prayers.

He is hunting lor the thrill, and he gets it with the Boy Scouts. We should look at things from the standpoint of the boy, and put it up to them to get their leader, Instead of trying to pick a leader for them."

GARZA Mexico's newest president, the ninth since Diaz, sports a fine crop of dusty whiskers a la Justice Hughes. Being only 31 years old. he is young' enough to feel lightly his responsibilities.

"We are piling these burdens on ourselves at such a rate." he continued, "that sometime something is going to smash. Yet many well-meaning Philanthropists come along and say, let us go to the Legislature or the Board of Fsi imaie for an We are making government more powerful all the time, when as a matter of fact, if we knew what we were doing, we should make it. weaker. We are gelling excellent examples of what harm may come from a government which is too powerful in the war on the other side of the water. "Blsmark said that government should centralized within narrow limits, and everything else should go to the commune.

Instead of piling up a multiplicity of things and turning them over to the governmen. we should do away with much of that. In a few years time we may see a I vast reaction or a vast disaster. "I have thought that if we are going to run the country oy law instead of by common sense, we should make everybody spend his money, as fast as he gets it. The difficulty about that is.

that someone might hold out. Another great thought I had, was that a law should be passed thai everybody must, all the time, have $2 in his pocket. If everybody had $2 in his pocket all the time, then poverly would disappear and we could do almost, anything." Seitz said ho would have all the idle put to work on a monster treadmill in a vacant lot somewhere, to heat, light and power.

I want to see all doors open and all boys feel that they can go down the street, go into a place and say: 'I want job." Let us have no blow.i-in-the-bottle methods.

It was a sort of pot-pourri of sub Jects which was served up last nlghi to the members of the Monday Club at their annual dinner, held in the note!

who used to be a clergyman, spoke on the Boy Scoiit movement as an asset in social work, and Don C. Seitz, business manager of the World, spoke principally on me way in which a surplusage of government Is killing Initiative and narrowing the ambition of the individual. Charles Towne, the president, who is also secretary of the S. P. C.

acted as toastmaster. "War and Peace" was the subject assigned to Mr. von Kaltenborn, who delivered the main address of the evening. Notwithstanding that he Is of pro-German sympathies, Mr von Kaltenborn walked tho neutral tight-rope most proficiently, never being in any very great danger of tumbling into the unneutral abyss bolow. He started out by explaining how very dliihmli was for anyone to be Impartial, and said he did not know one man who was absolutely unaffected by prejudice in talking of the war.

"I have felt in the past few weeks," he continued, "that our country is an-proaching something like a crisis because of the Inability of a large pari of our people to maintain the neutral attitude toward the war which President Wilson has urged. I have felt that there are growing up in our country two hostile camps, each firmly believing that it is right in its stand for one side or another, and respect to our position in the war. "This is particularly true of those of our citizens who have been more or less sneeringly alluded to in some quarters as 'hyphenated It has appeared to me that since the beginning of the war many of our citizens have misinterpreted the love which every man bears the land of fathers and have mistaken it for hostility toward America. This is wrong This constant assumption that a man who believes in the country of his fathers is in some way a traitor lo his own country is an idea that has grown It has been said that a spirit of 'cop-perheadism' is again developing In the United States. Growing Hostility Apparent Among German-Americans.

"A growing sense of bitterness and hostility reflects itself in the chief German-American papers. From every side has come the call to German-Americans to organize, to get together and present a united front. 1 believe that this is a danger. symptom. I believe that it Is a danger produced by something of an unfair attitude on the part of the American.

I do not believe that he has been neutral. There has been too much condemnation of one side. "I discovered by careful study that 85 per cent, of the news published about the war comes from sources hostile lo Germany. It takes a vigorous mind under the circumstances to bring one back to a position of impartiality. "It Is not an over-statement to sav.

after carefully analysing the chronology of the war. that eight out of ten headlines published In America In the first month were misstatements and it was in that first month that the public largely made up its mind." Mr von Kaltenborn then discussed international questions which had arisen as a result of the strife. He said that many prominent and well-meaning persons here had declared that it was the function of the Cubed States to protest against the violation of Belgian neutrality since this nation had signed the treaty under which the I. ledge was that it would he observed. Then he said that if the I cited Stales should protest it would find that the Hague conventions had been violated many times by either one side or the other.

He himself had counted twenty such instances. "If the United States should protest against the violation of Belgium's neutrality," he continued, "it would also have to protest the violation of Chinese neutrality by the Bri'ish-Japanese forces, the violation of Dutch neutrality in the bombardment of Dusseldorf, the violation of Spanish neutrality when the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse was sunk, and the violation of Swiss neutrality." He compared the bombardment of the English towns of Whitby. Hartlepool and Scarborough with the lOng-lis), bombardment of Ostend, West-ende and Zeebrugge. They were defended no more and no less than the British coast towtw were defended, said Mr. von Kaltenliorn.

and he added that at the latter place in the first several hundred civilians had been killed by the British fire. Br.w Cotton Not Contraband In Declaration of London. Mr. von Kaltenliorn read eytracts from the Declaration of London. "I wonder why our State Department te declaration or said he.

von Kaltenborn caused a stir of surprise when he read from the Declaration of London showing that the very first Item among those listed which were not to be declared contraband of war was "raw cotton." "I don't understand a foreign policy which abandons a doctrine such as this," he continued, holding up the "We had a chance to take the lead In a movement for a league of neutral ions which began in Sou in i i us via and spread to Holland. It was suggested that none of the three Scandinavian countries was big enough or strong enough to lead, and that a nation should be found which was strong "Minister Van Dyke came hero from Holland with a message. The real purpose of his visit was never revealed, hut I am positive that he came here with a message from the Queen of Holland, asking that the United States take the lead in a league of neutrals.

My years have filled me with a broader knowledge of men and things. I've been for years the companion of youth and old age, and have long been considered of indispensable aid to thousands of progressive men and women. I've made a careful study of events in the realm of sports, and know the standing of all of the athletic clubs hereabouts.

From baseball to yachting, I'm your infallible guide. I I've watched the rise and fall of bonds and stocks, and have kept a record of these fluctuations all these notes are yours if you will but employ me. I I've kept closely in touch with the great world war that is devastating Europe, and I can tell of facts and incidents never before printed. I No matter where you would travel in Greater New York, I can instantly locate the nearest intersecting streets and tell you the nearest car line to them. I am not a statesman, although I am familiar with the details of City, State and National government, and particularly with the facts about imports and exports and immigration.

I belong to no church, yet am welcome in the study of many clergymen, for I know them by name, the history of their churches and their locations. 3 I am an efficient and tactful social secretary, for I know the names and addresses of all clubs and societies in New York and on Long Island, and who the officers are.

Wouldn't it bring home to you very forcibly, the fact that coffee is not a food but a drug? Caffeine is a cause of indigestion, heart trouble, nervousness, constipation and kindred ills. Some persons are strong enough to drink coffee without immediate harm, but many others are not. Anyone can avoid risking health by a change to POSTUM This pure food-drink is made of whole wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses that's all. It contains nothing harmful or injurious, but is, on the contrary, healthful and invigorating. Postum is sold by Grocers everywhere in two forms Regular Postum, which requires boiling, 1 5c and 25c packages, and Instant Postum, which is soluble in hot water made instantly in the cup, 30c and 50C tins.

A ten days' trial of Postum should convince any doubting Thomas "There's a Reason" for POSTUM.
