PANAMA SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

PANAMA, March 23.-Plans for the
organization of large and we'll train
ed reserve force from among the ma
tives Of the Republic of Panama are
being considered by Brigadier General
Clarence R. Edwards, commander of
the Panama Canal Troops. 1t is pro.
posed that these reserves should form
a part of the Panama Canal defense
forces and should be trained by AM
erican officers for use in case the can
al or the republic were attacked.
General Edwards has had a brief
conference with General Esteban HUI
ertas, the liberator of Panama, who
declared the plain entirely feasible
and promised his aid in the event it
was decided to establish such a native
reserve force.
1t is said that practically all of the
natives in the interior are excellent
shots and would be perfectly willing
to serve for a short time for little pay
in the various instruction camps that
would be established General Huertas
believed that probably 10000 to 10000
such reservists could be obtained.
The native troops would be Differed
by young Panamans, schooled by the
American officers. 1t would be in the
nature of National Guard of Panama
but would not supplant the present
national police.
General Huertas probably, would be

PROMINENT GEORGIANS WILL DE-
LIVER ADDRESSES HERE.

The general management of the
Georgia Sunday School Convention
which assemblies in Americas on April
goth, announce that Mr.. w. S. Witham,
of Atlanta, and MIR. f. S. Ethridge, Of
Jackson, have both been secured to
take part on the State Convention pro-
gram. Few men in the state have done
more either by their efforts or by their
contributions to make the Georgia
Sunday School Association a success.
All who attended the State Conven-
ton at Milledgeville last April will
remember the great address delivered
by Mr.. Witham, and how he swept
the convention off its feet" There is a
treat in store for all who hear him
speak in Americas.
Mr.. Witham is Sunday School en-
thusiast, and teaches the Busy Peo-
pies Glass in the Wesley Memorial
Methodist church of Atlanta.
The early morning prayer services
last year were greatly enjoyed By
those who attended The church was
about half full the first morning, and
nearly full the second morning. Mr.,

by low mountains. 1t is plentifully
supplied with water while fodder and
substance for the troops and their
pack animals may be obtained in
abundance.
His proposal to use these grounds
created much comment in Panama
City. 1t was rumored that this was a
preliminary step of the United States
in taking over the republic. This, how
ever, was quickly dispelled when 1t
was made plain that General Edwards
was DESTROYS only of preparing de-
tense plans for both the Panama Can
al and the Republic of Panama.

toned on the Canal Zone will be sent
