FORTY EASTERN CADETS
PLAN EASTERTlDE CAMP
They Seek Permission to Spend Four
Days in Virginia During
Coming Holidays.

Forty members of Company F. Eastern
High School Cadets. plan to so into camp
70 rfour OF five DAYS during the Easter
holidays. Permission has not yet been
received from the school authorities for
the encampment. The boys feel certain
It will be forthcoming.
Supt Ernest l.. Thurston is known to
be in favor of extending the work. of
the high school cadet organization. One
of the features in particular which he
favors is an annual encampment by boys
who desire to take part and whose par
ents are willing. He is. however, willing
for this to be done only under proper
supervision.
Supt. Thurston also favors an officers
school and a change of work each year.
so that a boy who enters the cadets
in his first year in high school and re-
mains throughout the four years may
learn something new instead of repeat
ing the same tactics year after year. AS
one feature of this extension, open order
has been taken up this term for the first
time in several years.
The camp which the Eastern boys plan,
if permission is granted. is to be pitched
in Virginia and will be conducted in a
military manner. Each morning is to be
devoted to drilling. inspections. reviews
and the like. In. the afternoon the young
soldiers are to be free to do as they
wish.

Action Causes Surprise.

The refusal of the Danish senate tt
approve the Danish arbitra
ton treaty greatly surprised state De
partment officials, although no com
ment was forthcoming in advance o;
formal notice of the action. That the
treaty might be rejected by the United
States senate because of the con
siStent attitude of the Senate aga'n.S'
all general arbitration treaties. 81
those which did not expressly except
from compulsory arbitration questions
involving the national honors. matters
of state legislation and affecting the
Monroe doctrine, had been deemed a
possibility.
Secretary Bryan recently addressed
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons in support of this treaty. While
some objections developed among the
committee members on the grouno
that the interests of the United States
in the West Indies were not properly
guarded, it was believed that these
could be overcome by slight amend
ment and that the Senate could be in
duced to accept the principle of I'M
limited arbitration to which it had FOR
merly objected
Made at Request of Denmark.
The action of the Danish senate was
a genuine surprise. for the reason that
y
Bryan himself. this treaty was made
at the request of the government OF
Denmark which had made a Simila
treaty with Italy. Secretary Bryan
realized that while it might not b.
timely to enter into such treaty rela
tons with the great powers, there wa:
every reason why the United State:
should test unlimited arbitrations will
all of the smaller nations. He fel
that this gave an easy approach to the
ultimate settlement of all interna tiona
disputes by arbitration.
The Danish proposal was accepted
therefore. and the plan of genera
arbitration ingrafted upon one of thu
peace commission treaties nine of which
Danish treaty it was proposed that il
the international commission provided
for to examine into the merits of dis
puteS between the principals should fail
10 reach a direct adjustment within one
year. or if within that period the com
miSSiOnerS should concur in the opinion
thar such an adjustment impOs
sible. the dispute should be referred tt
the permanent court of arbitration al
The Hague. The treaty was signed in
Washington February 5. 1914. and has
formed the base of several other pro-
jected treaties. Hence it becomes i'm
p0rtant for the State Department tc
know precisely the reason for the ac-
ton of the Danish senate, as it may
be necessary to amend some of the
pending conventions to insure their ac-
