URGE SUPPORT
DRAFT SYSTEM
Business League Calls Upon Congress
men from Mississippi to Vote for
the Measure.

The Business League of Greenwood
today unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution asking Congress to sup
port President Wilson's views on the
subject Of conscription as means of
raising an efficient army. The res
solution met the approval Of all the
members voting on the referdum and
was not confined to the Board Of Di-
rectors only.
The following is the resolution:
Whereas the successful prosecution
of the European War into which the
United States has entered, demands
the early mobilization, training and
seasoning of an efficient army, and
Whereas, experience has been shown
that the volunteer plan of enlistment
is slow tedious, unsatisfactory and a
failure in European countries during
present war, and
Whereas the President of the Unit
ed States favors the conscription plan
and as the Commander-in-chief of the
Army Of the United States should
have his wishes carried out, and
Whereas it is imperative that the
United States should present solid
front to the enemy and an undivided
support to the President in the great
crisis now pending; therefore,
Be it resolved that the Greenwood
Business League hereby recommends
to, urges and insists that the Repre-
septatives and Senators representing
the State of Mississippi in the Con-
gress of the United States, support
the conscription bill favored by Pres
ident Wilson.
Be it further resolved that copy
Of this resolution be sent to each Rep
resentative and Senator from Missis-
sippi, in Washington.
It is understood in Washington that
a majority of the Mississippi Repre-
sentatives will svote against the bill
and that all of those from Arkansas,
Tennessee and Alabama are opposed
to the measure.
A hard fight is being staged in the
Halls Of Congress over the conscrip-
ton system as preferred to the volun-
teer system of raising an army.
