A formal announcement, laying down
for the acceptance of the entire world
the principles OF right and justice which,
in the opinion of the most eminent au-
thorities of the twenty-one republics OF
the Western Hemisphere. should be fol-
lowed in the conduct of international
affairs In order to preserve peace, has
been made by the American Institute of
International Law. The document is en-
titled THE Declaration of the Rights of
Nations" and is founded on the princi-
pies of the American Declaration of In
dependence. adopted July 4, ZIG.
The promuigation OF the declaration.
which defines the right of neutrals as
well as belligerents. and which might
be characterized as an international
declaration Of independence" was made
known here yesterday in an announce
ment by DR.. James Brown Scott, presi-
dent OF the institute, chairman of the
joint State and navy neutrality board
and secretary of the Carnegie Endow-
ment for International Peace 1t was
adopted at the first session of the In
stitute, held in connection with and un-
der the auspices of the second Pan
American Scientific Congress on January
g. but its publication was withheld until
today.
Following the announcement of Secre-
tary Dansings suggestions that the 1nstl-
tute study the question OF neutral rights
and neutral duties. and the publication
of the memorandum in which he ex-
pressed his attitude toward circum-
stances under which several of the Amer
lean governments have suffered keenly
through the operations OF European bel
ligerents, the declaration is regarded
here as having the greatest international
significance.
Under the fundamental principles thus
set forth II would be impossible, II they
were in effect and observed by the ma
tions, to have a recurrence of the inva-
sion Of Belgium or the submarine at
tacks upon American life on the high
seas.
In the drafting Of the set of principles
there was. however, no thought of deal
ing with any specific case or rejecting
upon any single nation.
The pronouncement is put out at this
time to afford the basis for discussion
and preparatory TO the more formal
movement that is almost certain to come
at the conclusion of the war in the direc-
tion OF a more explicit understanding
among the nations on the great princi-
Piles of international law.

the commission of unlawful acts against

This right is, and is to be understood.
In the sense in which the right to life
is understood In national law, according
TO which II is unlawful for a human be-
ing to take human life unless Il be
necessary so TO do in self-defense against
an unlawful attack threatening the life

control from other states, provided. that
IN so doing, It does not interfere with, or
violate, the just rights of other states.

Military Drill for Schools.

| Unfortunately the state board of re,
gents have it within their power, unless
the act under which they direct the
school policy of the state be amended
to treat as a scrap of paper and law
such as the Slater WEIGH bill introduced
at Albany to provide for military in
struction in the public schools and agri-
cultural colleges of the state Commits
sioner of Education Finley and a major
ity of the board of regents have gone on
rec ord in opposition to such drill
This opposition to a desirable institu-
ton is regrettable. There is no DISPOSE
ton to beat into the brains OF New
York's school children the doctrine that
might is right after the Prussian fash
ion. which has discredited all military
training. The desire is merely to give
American youths rudimentary instruc-
ton in military discipline at period in
their lives when they can best spare the
time to take it and when ii will be of
the most benefit to them physically,
mentally and morally.
For the benefit to be derived from mil
itary training property given is not one
sided. Something to impress Americans
with the necessity for discipline, and par
ticularly selfdiscipline. is badly needed.
Military drill in the schools should help
in this direction Just as much as it
should benefit the scholars generally by
the substitution of reasonable and reg
ular exercises for more violent and spas
modic forms, such as marathon running
and football.-New York Evening Sun.

The Immigrant Problem in the Colleges

{
Social work among immigrants is as
suming special Importance as a college
subject according to the bureau of edu-
cation Of the department of the interior.
| Fourteen institutions are now offering
special courses which treat the subject
of immigration though few of these
have as yet given much attention to the
practical problem of what to do with
the immigrant as man and citizen.
Sixty-nne institutions treat the subject
incidentally in connection with courses
in economics, history and society.
In order to help in the present urgent
demand for AUGMENTATION service for
immigrants the bureau of education has
had prepared a syllabus entitled: pro
fessional Course for Service Among I'm
migrants" Some of the topics treated
are as follows The incoming tide and
its distribution; legislation and restric-
ton; employment; standards of living;
education; and ideals and methods in
Amerieanization work.
In view of the interest shown by col
leges in the subject of immigrant edu
co ion the commissioner of education has
offered to give assistance and advice with
respect to courses of study and methods
of any colleges or universities planning
to introduce courses in training for lead
ership in Americanization service. The
division of immigrant education in the
bureau has conferred its attention upon
the problems connected with the educa-
tion OF immigrants and the incubation
