...correspond with the military departments of the army. In each department there will be two classes, the senior division, for all men from 18 to 45 years of age, who are citizens of the United States, or who have taken out their first papers and are of good moral character, and the other, the junior division, for boys from 15 to 18 years of age. For the seniors in the Eastern department there will be four camps held at Plattsburg, N. Y., in June, July, August, and September. For the juniors there will be two camps at Fort Terry, Plum...
...President's proposal for a league to prevent war, if carried into effect, will make of every nation a policeman, but of what use is a policeman without arms? He cannot keep or help keep the peace by mere realization that he is morally better than the offender. He must be prepared to enforce the law.

Shaw forces moral and ethical discussion on us, but our throat is not crammed so full as to interfere with our occasional giggle, which we need to have on hand when we are communing with this British enigma. His whole purpose seems to be to convince us that whether truth is an actuality...
Since the death of Professor Royce, who held the Alford professorship of natural religion, moral philosophy and civil polity, in succession to Professor Palmer, it has been rumored that Bertrand Russell would be called from England to the chair made vacant by Professor Royce. It is certain that no such offer has ever been made to Mr. Russell, though he had been invited to lecture at Harvard during the present year. Whether or not such an offer ever will be made remains to be seen, but it does not seem likely that if Mr. Russell is called to Harvard...
