Tentative plans for the New Jersey Summer Military Camp to be established at Princeton this summer have been drawn up and submitted to members of the Board of Control of Princeton. The principle feature of these plans, in comparison with those originally-submitted, is the change in the length of time during which the camp will last.

Fortunately those who control England's war policy have too much human wisdom to attempt a course in plan and achievement so vain.

When made, they should be punished mercilessly. It does not appear, however, that monopolistic combinations by speculators dealing in "futures" is the cause...
...recently appointed officers of the provisional battalion took charge of their companies yesterday. For a time they will be assisted by the Army sergeants detailed for the instruction of these companies, but eventually they will have complete control of these men under them...
