.FAVORs BILL FOR
FORCED SERVICE
Measure Brings to a Head
Much discussed Question.
TRAINING FOR SIX MONTHS
Training of 100000 Boys Annually
Each Of Whom Would BE Fur
Laughed Into Reserve for Nine
Years After Training.

Washington The Senate Military
Committee reported favorably bill
framed by a subcommittee creating a
military and naval citizen reserve
force based on universal military train
ing and service.
While the committee report does
not indicate any belief that Congress
will act on the measure at this SEES
sion, the bill brings to a definite
head the universal service discussion
OF the last few months. and offers a
specific plan op which public senti-
ment can cryst&dize.
The bill requires six months train
ing without pay for all youths dur
ing their nineteenth year. Exemp-
tions are confined 10 the members or
the regular Army and Navy, those
physically unfit, those who are the
sole support or dependent relatives
and those affiliated with religious
creeds which forbid them to bear
arms. The latter class, however, arc
liable for training 10 the noncom-
blatant branches of the Army.
It IL estimated the bill would pro
vide for the training or 100000 boys
annually, each of whom would be fur
Laughed into a reserve for nine years
after his training period. With allow
ances for shrinkage of classes due to
various causes a. the years pass, this
plan would give total force OF 1885,
900 men who had had six months
training, at the end of the first nine
year cycle, lit subject to call for sorv-
ice only in the event Of defensive
war" on the imminenee thereof.

Porto Rico's Army Will
 Be Trained at Cayey

San Juan, P R., August 24.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press .}-The training camp of the officers reserve corps to supply officers for Porto Rico's brigade of 1000 men to be drafted soon will be held in Cayey, a small town upon the mountains 50 miles from San Juan, and will begin August 2. The quota of 245 men, including 45 non-comnissoned officers from the Porto Rico regiment, now in Panama, has been selected from the 1500 applicants for entrance to the camp, and the candidates have bought their uniforms and are ready for work.
 These student officers, in addition to having to measure up to the same re- quirements exacted of candidates for commissions in the states, are also re- quired to have proficient knowledge of both Spanish and English, for while they will receive all their instruction and orders in English, they will command men who for the most part have little or no knowledge of that language. The vast majority of the men accepted for the camp have attended American colleges.
 Officers are coming from the states to instruct the student officers and two lieu tenants are coming from the Porto Rico regiment for the same purpose.

KERENSKY SPEAKS
 ID TROOPS AND HE
 IS VERY OPTIMISTIC

Moscow, August 2e.-Premier Kerensky, who came to Moscow yesterday to attend the national conference being held for consideration of the military and politl- cal problems which confront the coun- try, reviewed troops at the Hippodrome today and in addressing them said he was convinced by the valor they were showing that they would be able to drive back the enemy at the front, and crush any attempt at counter revolution.
 General Korniloff, the commander m chief arrived from Petrogad today and was greeted by great crowds. In an address he said it was a source of sat isfaction to be able to tell the army that Moscow was the watchword for the well fare of the country and war to a vic- torious end.
 The day was devoted to conferences of the different groups of delegates. The discussions dealt principally with the governments statement, the reply to be made and the attitude to be taken at the coming general meeting.
 The maximalists reached the conciu- sion that the conference does not rep resent the will of the nation and is of anti-revolutionary character. They directed to demand from the assembly a programme on the proletariat by the handing over of all power to the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates and voted to leave the hail If the majority should be unwilling to share their viewpoint.
 The internationa1ists insisted on abolition of the death penalty and re- nunciation by the government of It's purpose to put down by force the sep artists movements in Finland and Ukraine The popular socialists urged maintenance of the death penalty. At the meeting of constitutional demo- crats, Prof. Paul Milukoff said no so- lution could be reached except in line with the national programme, and that if Premier Kerensky did not put into execution the measures foreshadowed the ruin of the country would be ln- evitable.

HEAD OF JAPANESE
 MISSION TELLS OF
 PURPOSE ID U. s.

Washington. August 27-viscount Ishii, the special Japanese ambassador, gave to the Associated Press tonight statement defining the purposes of his mission to the United States. Mem bers of the mission noticed at Homo lulu. at San Francisco and finally here in Washington indication that their coming might be misinterpreted by certain clements and it was felt nec- essary to explain that no commercial or selfish interests were to be sub served.
 The ambassadors statement fol- lows:
 The imperial Japanese mission camc to the United States for two reasons. First. to convey to the President and to the American people the apprecia- tion and congratulations of the Elm peror and the nation of Japan for the entrance of the United States into the war as allies of Japan and the other nations now waging war against the enemies of freedom; second, to deter mine how best to cooperate with the United States in carrying the war to triumphant conclusion.
 Having determined in what man ner Japan can use her resources and strength to this end, it is the pur- pose of the mission to further aid the allied cause by showing what she can do with the help and cooperation of the United States. Japan is entirely unselfish in her aim. We are fighting for common end and we wish to aid in the common efforts"
