FOREIGNER DRAWS
INTERESTED CROWD
A dark skinned individual came to
Conway the latter part of last week
from Mullins and introduced himself
as Prince Ram Singh, claiming to be
a native of India. He also claims
that he was an officer in the Indian
army of England, and after having
served in this capacity for some time
he obtained a position on a German
merchant vessel in order to learn
something of Germany and the
world. When the war hroke out he
was forced into the German army and
took part in the drive to Paris. After
being wounded in the battle of Verdun,
he was transferred to the German
raider Kron Prinz Wilhelm.
When that vessel was interned at
Newport News, he was released. He
tells his story in a very itneresting
way.
He gave notice of an address at
the Methodist church on Sunday afternoon
and this attracted a large
crowd who went out and listened to
Li -A
his siory.

The landscape gardener who was
employed by the civic league to visit
? Conway recently and make plans for
i beautifying the court house and
school grounds; stated incidentally
\ that what was needed here to improve
I the looks of the town was the destruction
of all the fences. He stated
that Conway needed the "no fence
law" whatever that term was intended,
to mean.

PLAN COMPULSORY
TRAINING IN GAMP
? i
New Bill to Be Introduced
Into Congress at
Once
SIX MONTHS FOR
ALL YOUTHS OF 18
After Service They Are to
Be Credited Into the
Reserve.
Washington.?Dot-ails of n now ?in?
versal military training and service
bill to be preserved to Congress soonbecame
known today. It provides
that all male citizens shall enlist for
six months' military camp training
during the calendar year in which
they become 18 years of age, and
thereafter shall be discharged into
the reserve. In times of war these
trained men might bo called into active
service , by classes of years, the
youngest first.
The bill was drawn by Captain
George Van Horn Mosely, of the gen- .
oral staff of the army, acting unofficially
in behalf of national defense organizations.
It will be proposed as
a substitute for the pending Chamber
lain universal training bill which provides
for short periods of varied train
ing extending over ten years, between
the ages of 13 and 23. A vigorous
campaign will be made for passage of
the measure at this soason of Con
gress, it is said. . . >
The only exemptions from training* ,
under the proposed legislation wouW \
De young men physically or otherwise
unfit, and members of permanent military
or naval forces. To encourage
military training in schools, one
month's credit on the six month's corn
pulsory service would be allowed for ,,
each year of military work recognixed
institutions, with a limit of four
months' credit.
The President would be empowered
to suspend the organization of any
number of regular army units, and
to assign their oilicers to the training
camps. This would effect economy,
it is argued, by permitting a reduction
of the standing army, without
reducing the force available in case of
war.
A system of penalties would be
provided for employers of men above
the age of 18 who had not passed
through the training. Persons not
complying also would he barred from
holding any position under the federal
government and in case they leave
th ? country to escape service would
be required to fulfill the obligation
on their return.
Unruly characters might be segregated
and trained in special discilpinary
organizations . Friends of the
bill point out this might go towanr
solving present problems of treating
incorrigible youths.
No pay would be allowed for the
training period but the government
would pay all expenses. If called into
active service later, the men would
receive regular army pay.
The proposed measure contemplates
establishment of a uV'ge r'.wber
of training camps. They probably
would be operated for active training
only between spring and fall, or in
other seasons of moderate temperature
and good weather. Expenses
of the system would be comapratively
low, friends of the plan declare. They
express belief that the burden on citizens'
time would be ligther than under
any other universal training
memou mat. in addition to furnishing
a great number of available trained
men, it would provide valuable physical
and disciplinary culture.
