1t would be no more possible to bring
all the young men of IS together

science will ever be able TO protect

fundamental laws Of noture, that they
must not crowd. So long as men
crowd so long will there be treble.
And that is not the worst to be,
feared from this proposed concentra-
ton. These comps will be held n

none Of the inspiration OF war, the,
boys will average three years younger
than those who have been in camp In

be giving their whole attention to the
camps, the government at Washington,
our state governments, and our local
officers will not be giving all their
time to protection Of the camps. Does
anybody need specifications to be as
sured Of what will happen!
1t is one of the astonishing things,
that just when we have surprised the
world with the stalwart vigor OF our
young men. with their ready adaptabili-
ty to the demands OF war. when in the
fercest battles ever fought they es-
capped single record OF retreat, when
the three PEOPLES who put the greatest
fighting vigor into the war were the
three that have no military training.

BRITISH CAMPAIGN SPEECHES.
Davenport Times.) .

N|dN'IipoIt lihtS.l
At the same time what is said in
speeches by prominent Englishmen at
the present time must be accepted in
the light of the campaign that is in
progress in that country now, We
shall be the better able to appreciate
what is being said by Churchill. As
quith Grey and Lloyd George II we
keep in mind that they are speaking
as campaigners' out Tor votes. We
would not care to have the people Of
Europe take too seriously all that is
said in the United states by campaign
speakers when we are conducting q
presidential election. The election now
in progress in Great Britain is similar
to an American presidential election.
The party or combination Of parties
that controls parliament, after the
election. will name the premier, and
the premier in Great Britain is the ex-
ecutive head Of the nation as much as
is our president. He differs, Of course,
from AN American president in that he
must always have back of him a par
liamentary majority, while a president
in this country may be Of one party
and congress of another as will be the
case after March 4 next.
When Lloyd George seems to make it
strong that there can be no compro-
mise at all concerning the cost Of the
war; when Churchill says that, como
what may. the British fleet is going to
dominate everything: when Asquith
emphasizes another point and Grey
makes some bold assertion, IL we
would understand the conditions, we
should interpret what they say as pro-
badly. in their opinion, expressing the
outspoken thought of a large number
Of voters to whom they are appealing,
but we should also interpret their
speeches as not being absolutely final
nor compromisingly binding. The Brit
ish are in the heat Of a political cam
paign.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES.

1t ought to become the established
policy Of the state that no primary
school shall be allowed that does not
teach the English language to the ex-
clusion of all others up 10 the eighth
sradc. When the pupil reaches that
point if he or she desires TO learn other
languages there is no objection-in-
dependence Bulletin Journal
The Bulletin-Journal has the right
idea and the state should not neglect to
attend to this matter. Moreover, it
should be compulsory that every child
be taught the English language,
rot only in Iowa, but everywhere in
the United State, including its pos j.
sessions. This is one OF the lessons of
the war and should not he forgotten
in time of peace. ~
