ARMY SCHOOLS MAKE
NOTEWORTHY PROGRESS

That the army is perfecting its
school system, which is rapidly de-
veloping into one of the most extern
sive in the world. is shown by in.
structions received at the army re-
cruiting station from the war depart
ment, directing the social service
branches of the army to send repre-
sentatives to Camp Grant, Illinois
during August. The purpose of as
sembling officers and civilian educa-
tors of the army at Camp Grant is for
the purpose of studying the relation
ship between special service branches
and their facilities for educational
and vocational training, so that this
work may be fitted into general army
scheme of educational and vocational
training.
This conference will be held in
connection with the summer session
of the educational and recreational
school at Camp Grant, and the officers
who attend will be familiar with the
educational work of their particular
branches of the service.
Those enlisting in the army today
were w. M. Henderson, Henry Souf-
front and c. t. Gaffney.

the incorporators to also take over
the hotel and remodel it at cost of
several thousand dollars, and build a
double-deck ferry boat capable of
carrying $50 passengers and six au-

be improved, making travel con-

these with other developments along
the coast resorts is being watched

eraged normal or beloy, the latter
conditions prevailing locally, especial

day temperatures were moderately
/ high in the central and northern di-
visions during the last days of the
week
Precipitation. Most of the week was
| dry over the western and northern di-
visions, but showers and locally heavy
rains occurred almost daily in much
of the south and portions of the low
err central counsies. the excess at
Tampa being about an inch and more
than an inch at Miami. Many sta

Condition of Crops. On the whole
the cotton crop did very wholesome
reports indicate that the crop made
some Improvement. But the crop did
not ADVANCE III some. LOCALITIES, COnOl-
tions being rather unfavorable. The
dry weather, however, enabled farm
ers to advance the work of cultiva-
tion, some fields having become foul
as result of rains of previous weeks.
The corn crop is mostly good; in the
south the crop has matured, and har-
vesting progressed whenever the
weather was favorable. Continued
showery and locally heavy rains de-
layed that work; and some report that
corn is being seriously damaged in
the field. Peanuts continue favorable;
the plants are vigorous. Some early
crops have matured. Cane continues
promising; much is excellent. Velvet
beans made good progress as did
sweet potatoes and minor crops. CT
trus fruits continue satisfactory.
Showers occurred locally in northern
and western counties during the last
days of the week, but moisture is
needed in some localities

rers in those which concern the empire at large
 Tt is a special status and there can be no derogation from it. To any pro vision which makes it clear that none of the British votes can be used in dis pute likely to lead to rupture in which any part of the British empire is in- volved, no exception can he taken. That IS only a reasonable interpretation of the covenant as it now stands. If any part of the British empire is involved in dispute with the United States. the United States will be unable to vote and all parts of the British empire precisely because they are partners will be par ties to that dispute and equally unable to vote. But as regards this right to vote where they are not parties to the dispute there can be no qualification and there is very general admission that the votes of the self-governing dominions would in most cases be found GA the same side that of the United States
 It must not be supposed that in the United States there is any tendency, to grudge the fact that Canada and the other self-governing dominions of the British empire have votes but any per- son with the smallest understanding of public audiences must realize the feeling created by the statement that the United States with several million more Eng lish-speaking citizens than there are in the whole of the British empire. has only one to six votes. l am not con cerned to discuss here how this proe;sm oI equality of voting may be adjusted in practice, it will not be important In sentiment and political feeling it is a very powerful factor. We can neither give way about the votes for the self governing dominions nor can we ignore the real political difficulty in the United States.
 Ut may be sufficient to observe that the reservation of the United States, as far as known at the time of writing, does not in any way challenge the right of the self-governing dominions to eXer- else their votes, nor does 1t state that the United States will necessarily reject the decision to which those votes have been cast. It is therefore possible. think it is even more than probable. that in practice no dispute will ever arise. Our object is to maintain the status of the self-governing dominions, not to se- cure greater British than American

Viscount Grey's Letter Which Caused Sensation h Europe and America

i cure stability in peace. Without the United Sattea the present League of Ma Hons may become little better than a lefgue of the allies for armed self-defense as rnst revival of Prussian milisarism or against q sinister sequel to bolshevism m Russia Bolshevism is despotism, and despotisms have tendency to become m'ltaristic as the great French revolu- ton Iroved The great object of the League of Nations is to prevent future wars and to discourage from the egin- ming the growth of aggressive arguments which would lead to war.
 For this purpose it should operate at once and begin here and now. in the first years of peace, to establish a repu- tation for justice, moderation, and strength. Without the United States it will have neither the overwhelming physical nor moral force behind it that it should have, or if it has the physical force it will not have the same degree of moral force. for it will be predomi- nately European. and not world or sanitation. and it will be tainted with al the interraciai iealousies of Europe. With the United States in the League of Nations war may be prevented and armaments discouraged and it will not be in the power of the fretful nations of the world to disturb genuine pence. without the League or NdttDnS the OlC order of things will revive, the old con sequences will recur, there will again be some great catastrophe of war in which the United States will again find itself compelled to intervene for the same reason and at no less or even greater cost than in 1917
 "It would be a mistake to suppose that the American people are prepared or wish to withdraw their influence in world affairs. Americans differ among themselves as to whether they could or than they did. It is neither necessary nor profitable for foreigners to discuss this point now. What is common to all Americans and to all foreigners who know the facts is the unselfish, whole hearted spirit in which the American na- tion acted when it came into the war The immediate adoption of compulsory military service and, even more the rationing of food and fuel in those millions and millions of households over such vast area not by compulsion but by purely voluntary action in response to an appeal fhich had no compulsion behind it, is remarkable and even astonishing example of national spirit and ideaiism.
 That spirit is still there. It is as much part of the nature and possibili- ties of the American people as any other characteristic. It is not possible for such spirit to play such part as it did in the war and then to relapse and be extinguished altogether. It would be

 In supplementary note the allied powers reply to the German communica- tior of January 25, which explained Ger many's reasons for not carrying out the extradition provision.
