By The United Press.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-Universal
military training is not only practi-
cable for Americans, but 1t is a ne
cessity," according to George h.
Chamberlain, chairman of the military
affairs committee. Chamberlain, in
cidentally holds many Of the views ex-
pressed by Chief OF STAFF Scott and
Major General Leonard Wood, at yes
terday's subcommittee hearing, out OF
which the Senator hopes to evolve a
complete and drastic change in this
country's system of national defense.
"The bill have prepared on this
subject" he said today TO the United
Press. "is in the very nature OF things
tentative, but it forms the groundwork
for effective legislation. The same
trouble exists now which has existed
since earliest colonial days. That is
division of responsibility between a
Federal force and the militia Of the
several States
Senator Chamberlain said he agreed
"in almost all details with the declara-
tions made in Lowell MellCtt's recent
series of articles for the United Press
that the rolls OF wealth-fat in which
America now is fairly wallowing, Will
show no safeguarding slnews unless
b, the fat is cut into. Chamberlain ad-
nnitted he believes that of all times
now is the time for the United States
10 prepare. when there Is chance for
sudden peace that might find Europe
with millions OF seasoned veterans
armed to the teeth and awaiting ths
word. possibly of some unsated mill
tary ring, to jump on the fattest' soft
est mark available"
He tn nks the United States as de
fenseless as Generals Scott and Woo
said Il Is.
THE present new army act IS
good one" said Chamberlain IF
sufficient number of men can be en-
listed. The country itself has pro q
this impossible.
"The greatest trouble with the Ma
tlonal Guard is that both officers an
, men have had to give up position
, which earned for them a support TO

HORSEMEN have BRUSHES
ON newark Speedway

Special 20 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Del. Dec. 19.-Owners Of
fast horses in Newark and vicinity
had their first opportunity 20 try out
their speed on the local speedway.
Main street, yesterday afternoon. II
is expected that even more horses
will be out this afternoon. as many
owners did not know there would be
brushes yesterday. The speedway
is even better than formerly since
Main street was macadamized two
years ago. There was not much op-
portunity 10 try out the street last
wear as there was very little snow.
Newark for years has had the
reputation of holding better racing on
the snow than any town in Delaware
II is not unusual when the sle'gh'ng
IS good to see at least so sleighs on
Main street taking part in the
brushes. For three years Gertrude
b owned by Victor G.. Willis and
driven by former Levy Courtmar

horsemen this year, however. who say
they are going 20 take the honor'

AT THE MAJESTIC.

Audiences appreciative of the works
Of Charles Dickens were in attendance
at the Majestic yesterday TO see the
presentation OF Dickens immortal
novel. "Oliver Twist" The picture Is
unusual as every care and fidelity in
keeping with the fame of this master
piece has been adhere to. AS Oliver,
the pathetic figure of childhood, there
is Marie Doro. whose impersonation
Of the role deserves the highest praise.
Considering that she IS playing a role
OF the opposite sex, her acting is all the
more remarkable. AS to Hobart Bos-
worth's BIZ Skies. It is a figure to
coniure with. The whole production
is a worthy one and shows that the
photoplay will help to perpetuate with
impressive force the classics OF past
periods.
