MILITARY TRAINING IN SCHOOLS,

Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, director Of the Hemenway gym

into the public schools Among his reasons given in an
article published in the Boston Transcript, O That

limited in its activities but actually harmful in its effects

FoRD's PEACE J! PLAN
UNPOPULAR. .WHY9:

=, .s+Tt
Never was a movement more ridi-
>culed that that started by Henry
Ford, who is taking party across the
water at his own expense and en-
deavoring to- bringMabout peace be-
tween the warning Iiations OF Europe,
Those who lead in this campaign 81
ridicule were Undoubtedly agents of
munition manufacturers and the DOW
der trust, who: for; selfish. reasons do
not want the European war to- end
now. =.4 r -.
SO much publicity has been given
the proposition BY newspapers which
are treating the expedition as a, Joke
than many who would have. ibeen
pleased to<accompany., Mr.. Ford have
sebacked, OUT :s.s, - ss
Why MI. Fords stforts are treated
With such contempt Is not difficult to
understand; Through the agitation
of navy leagues, the National Security
league and ;munition manufac turers
the country is in state Of excitement
over the necessity of preparedness
against attacks from foreign govern
,ments. ~
Mr.. Ford's success in bringing about
peace, though. it might seem impro o.
able, is by no means irnpossi ble, would
prove a great disappointment to the
gang which is seeking to place this
country in the forefront of militar-
ism. It would blast the hopes and
ambitions Of the war lords at Wash
1ngton and the millions: of profits
which munition manufacturers see
through a continuation Of the Euro
pean war would be reduced to a
minimum. -.
Though no good may come from
the expedition it Is costing no one
anything but the man who has volun-
teered to make the trial. If, per-
chance; he is successful in even start
ing something he will have accom-
plished that which will bring upon
him the blessingsrof millions of his
countrymen. -,
why treat the expedition as a Joke ?
Might as we'll have treated, the Carne-
gle peace palace plan in the: same
manner. which by the way was con
sidered the greatest Of all things in
solving the problem of warfare.
Henry Ford is no fool. During the
poSI year lie mas one ln1rgS indus
trially which made him, the: most
talked Of man in the country: He is
a man of big ideas, and while he. is
considered a novice in statecraft who
knows but what the result Of his ex-
petition may place hinaain the front
rank of statesmen and diplomats. :
No matter what objections some
people may have to the plan it is: GER
