Belfast, May 8 CBy the A. P).-Sir James Craig, premier designate of Ulster. whose recent conference with Eammon De Valera is still the subject of much com ment, said in speaking at Lisburn yes terday that he had made it plain to the south and west of Ireland that it was not with amateur peacemakers and med dlers in Irish affairs they had to deal but with the leaders of the people of Ulster, if there were to be any negotia- tions.
 Far too long" said Sir James. have the Ulster people been the shuttlecock of English and Irish politics. It was really time that the one man who was entitled to do it stood completely forward and said: Hands off Ulster unless you come to me as the leader"
 One good effect of his meeting with De Valera, continued the premier desig. nate. was that the ice was broken. Tn, more he thought of it, the better he wa. pleased. knowing that no matter whal they said of Ulster she was great hearted and not small in her ideas. and Wa. looking forward to the future "of oul common country"
 Sir James invited the premiers of tn, dominions to attend the inauguration O the youngest colony"

 CITIZENS TRAINING CAMPS

Washington, May S.-GeneraI Persh- ing appealed today to the young men of the country to attend the citizens train- ing camps to be held this summer and thus aid the war department to build up a trained citizen reserve organized to meet the emergency of war"
 Our position and influence in world affairs said Geefal Pershing, "are not measures by our wealth and population nor by our free and liberal form of gov erhment, but by our purpose to maintain the high principles of justice and ng- manity upon which our institutions are founded. The fulillment of this purpose depends upon our readiness to defend it's integrity.
 From purely military standpoint our policy should provide first a perma- nent military establishment large enough to guard against sudden attack; second, a force sufficient to- meet our interna- tional obligations, particularly on the i American continent; third, such force as may be necessary to meet our internal requirements; fourth, a trained citizen reserve to meet the emergency of war | Many benefits result fro mthe syste- matic training of civilians through such camps as the war department proposes | to conduct, the general continued. in | cluded the medication in the youth ol the country of respect for constituted authority and the principles Of self-dis fcipline.
 As head of the new.5 created fenera | headquarters staff chargel with the d9t, of directing the American forces in tht field of war, General Parshing will have much to do with the future training an( organization of the nations military re serves.- In today's statement he char acterized the traditions, accomplishment and high ideals of the national guart and national army units as valuab
 national asset and expressed tre belle
 that these organizations should be nell
