We agree with the purport Of the
correspondence in the Monitor Pa

that the newspapers are being asked
too much in the way Of advocating
training at an unsuitable camp. We
would not agree, however that a
change Of location should be made if
the same policy as has obtained at
Devens and under which it has not
been kept up Is to obtain at any new
camp. Furthermore we see no, need
Of changing the location. We are
convinced, though. that the newspa-

attendance until they have assurance
that Camp Devens will be made suit

assigned.

PLANNING FOR PEACE

In this issue we publish the plan.
which has been selected from many
by the distinguished jury of award.
provided for under the terms Of the
munihcent offer OF Edward w. Box.
Accompanying this publication u
. blank ballot which those who have
read the winning plan are requested
to MI out and send TO the address
given thereon. After this referendum
IL complete the name Of the winner
will be made public.
It 10 conceivable that not 80 many
thousands of years back COM
munities were more inclined to boast
Of their prowess in war and pay
homage to the glitter and pomp Of
warfare. than to take pride in their
ability TO maintain the peace by
orderly methods. Indeed, one need
not turn back many pages in the rec
ord to ind accounts Of communities
taking pride in the ability of their
youth to lick the youth of a neigh
boring and rival community.
Such an attitude Is not In the
thought OF the present generation.
or II 1t Is no one is boasting about
It. It seems safe to assume that in
this respect at least civilized COM
munities have arrived at a mental
attitude In striking contrast with
that once existing. 1t does not now
seem probable that people will turn
back, but OF this there Is no assur-
ance and 1t may be assumed the "old
Adam" In man Is yet there, again to
be aroused by sufficient provOcation,
though likely to express himself by
way of methods differing from those
In use in the stone age.
Why may not nations be brought
to q mental attitude as changed as
that now existing among the COM
munities; taking pride in their ability
TO settle by peaceful methods such
differences as may arise?
Toward such a development In
mans struggle upward Mr.. Bok's eff
forts are materially contributing. His
splendid example already has en-
couraged another. Mr.. Filene. to make
a similar offer for consideration Of
the peoples of Europe. Whether yet
another may endeavor to leaven the
lump of Asiatic civilization in similar
fashion remains to be seen. One
may easily conceive difficulties
among those teeming millions to con-
vince them they should acquiesce in
a peace made according to the terms
OF the Caucasians. Until this may
be done. however. considering the
potentialities OF those eastern hordes.
1t will be advisable to maintain n
guard and decidedly inadvisable to
assume that. even IL we enter con-
ference under the name of League
Of Nations, we have established
peace on earth. That only may be n
slow process. but we do think there
Is cause for encouragement in the
agitation. which these awards help
to keep alive.

MATTER OF A TRAINING CAMP

The Journal has received the usual
circulars requesting cooperation to
encourage young men to take advan-
tage Of the training afforded in the
military camps during the summer
months.
We firmly believe some such train
Ing rs that afforded at these camps
IL really an opportunity which the
youth of this country cannot afford
to miss except for unusual reasons.
Believing this we would urge them to
enter upon II.
With regard to this area. whether
all has been done for their accommo-
dation ut Camp Devens Is a question.
Agitation is afoot to change the camp
to some other locality. From all we
can learn this much Is to be said for
Devens: the government already
owns the camp. constructed for mo-
bilization purposes. and not as was
the case at Piattsburg for the pur-
pose of training officers. Presuma-
bly, 1t IL lacking In some OF the at
Effectiveness Of the latter place. and
very likely of other training camps.
On the other hand its location is ad-
mirable with respect 10 transporta-
tion. plenty OF area and absence Of
surrounding features Of nature to
distract from the purposes for which
youth go there to train. But some OF
its buildings are in bad repair, the
place 10 not inviting and so far prac-
tically nothing has been done to
make II so or to provide wholesome
diversion for the members when of
duty.
These things might be done. Il
would seem. with advantage to all
concerned. The camp should be put
in Shape. It should be kept in proper
condition: . contingent arriving
should not be put to cleaning up de-
bris left by those who preceded them.
Facilities for settling down to the
training. features to lend interest and
inspiration should be provided.
These things done-and they
should be done-Camp Devens
would be = camp good enough for the
purposes for which It il intend
I'd: the government would BE-
saved the expense OF making q new
camp. and the political pull hauling
over the location and the extrava-
gance which Inevitably accompanies
such . change would be avoided. But
Camp Devene should be made suit
able and this should be done at once.

CONSIDERING IMMIGRATION

Tile Senate and House committees
on immigration are considering a bill
framed by Secretary Davis under
whose department is the Immigra-
ton Bureau. This would provide for
an examination. of the prospective
immigrant on the other side at our
consular offices. an eminently
sensible arrangement.
This measure would classify i'm
migrants and provide for two special
farmers and skilled or unskilled
labor when labor of the like kind
cannot be found unemployed in the
United States, provided that no
strike or lockout exists or impends
in the industry seeking to import
such labor" The other special class
would admit husbands, wives and
minor children dependent on relatives
who already are citizens OF the
United States.

circles to the first arrangement and
n likelihood, were the law in force,
that employers would not be per-
mitted to bring in that labor as need
ed. 1t seems to be a very easy mat
ter to have a strike nowadays on
short notice and without provocation.
The latter class proposition, on the
ether hand. would probably receive
labor's approval.

laborers, including domestic servants.
The secretary would have what
ever quota limitation may be decided
upon apply also to Canada, Mexico,
South and Central America. This is
a radical departure the need of which
the secretary did not explain. Some
of the other provisions afford lat
itude for receiving workers from
contiguous countries.
Included in the changes in the
present law are these:
Aliens once lawfully admitted and
returning from temporary visit
abroad; bona fide students; bona fide
seamen landing in pursuit of their
calling; aliens habitually crossing
and recrossing the boundary upon
legitimate pursuits; and "aliens who,
having resided continually for at
least five years in foreign contiguous
territory are authorized to enter the
United States for the purpose of
laboring at specified occupation for
a definite time at a specified place."
All would be classed as mon -immI-
grants" and would be exempt from
immigration laws. Under the sec.
ton, the Secretary explained, peri
odic demands for laborers from Can
ada and Mexico could be satisfied.
Foreign quotas would be reckoned
on a monthly basis instead of the
present yearly basis. a provision de-
