American punitive expedition would be
withdrawn within reasonable time

government or leave unprotected the
territory just south Of the border now
patrolled by the Americans. Incident
to such withdrawal, he outlined the
manner in which the American gov

 DEFEATS MARION Locals Play Below Form. Marion Team Puts Up
 Good Fight

The Birmingham Athletic club bas- ketball team swamped the Marion in stitute five last night in one of the most one-sided games played by the locals this season. The final score was 5S to 21.
 The Marion boys cannot be accused of not fighting for during the entire contest, although they were hopelessly defeated, they never gave up. Marion showed little signs of team work and although by pass work they did score a few points, the majority of their points were scored by long and diff cult shots or either from under the basket However. this can be ac- counted for in that they were on the defense almost throughout the game.
 The local five was considerably orr form, missing easy shots together with their pass work below their standard. This cannot be applied to the entire team. The game was little more than a practice exhibition before the s~anta struggle on Friday night, one of the hardest games of the locals schedule during the present season.
 Gamble and Argo played the best game for Marion. Gillian, McCiowan and Seals did the best work for the locals. Coach Brummage tried out a large number of substitutes in the latter part of the game. but found few that showed anything of value.
 The summary follows: Marion, Gam ble and Smith, forwards; Argo, cen ter: Blackburn and Streit, guards. Bir- mingham, McGowan and Brazelton, Tor wards; Robertson, center; Seals ana Gillam. guards. Substitutions. Hart for Smith, Strange for Robertson. Field goals, McGowan 8. Brazelton 6. Robert son 5, Seals 1, Gillam '. Strange 1, Gamble 2. Argo 6. Hart 1. Goals after fouls, McGowan ?.

ing session, Mir Leavell sketched the story of chapters to 10 of Acts, under the general subject, "The Gospel for
 the Gentiles.' Among the pivotal points emphasized were the conversion of Saul of Tarsus A pivotal point in Christianity is Pau1s conversion re- sultlng from the appearance of Jesus
 to him on the Damascus road. If the
 resurrection of Jesus is true, Paul's conversion stands against all efforts to disprove it.
 MT. Leavell emphasized the work of Peter at Caesarea in the conversion of the household of Cornelius as being the beginning of the spread of the gos-
 pei among Gentiles.
 The last point emphasized was the return of Paul and Barnabus to Antioch. MT. Leavelps general subject for to- morrow nights lecture on Acts will be, Paul Winning the Roman Empire. for
 Christ"
 Dr. C. Ross Baker spoke on the sub.
 ject, Sins Against the Holy Ghost" treating it under the three headings Of The Temple of God" "Quenching the Spirit" and "Greving the Holy spirit Dr. Baker said in part: The foundation of the church is Christ. The work of the church is to go and gather Gods people from among | the nations and develop a holy life in believers. The church is not traitor though it's members may be. It is ap- pointed grander and more glorious work than dabbling in fancy goods.
 Ihis system of making money to sup port the gospel has been more pro-
 ductive of hard times in churches than any other one thing.
 The quenching of the spirit is an other sin against the Holy Spirit. It
 seems to me that the church of God
 was never in more danger than she
 is today of quenching the spirit There
 are Christians enough on this conti-
 nent to carry this whole land and the
 whole world for Jesus Christ if they
 only had the Holy Spirit.
 The final sin against the Holy spirit IS that presented by Paul when con
 sdering the temptations to which Christians are liable. In speaking i'm
 pure language, in using bitter and angry words against others; that the
 Holy Spirit is grieved when unholy ac-
 tions, impure words, unkind statements are found in our walk in life
 Dr. Bakers subject for this after
 noon is civilization of Unused Spir-
 itual Forces" This series of lectures
 by Dr. Baker is attracting widespread

PRESIDENT WILSON
 TO SPEAK HERE ON
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
Continued from Page one)

tative Padgett, chairmen of the House military and naval committees, respectively, have informed Mr. Will son that it will be from six weeks to two months before the committees will be ready to report the army and navy appropriation bills While this work is going on he proposes to do his utmost to solidify sentiment among the people and members of Congress in favor of the plans drawn up by the war and navy departments.
 Friends of the President represent him as being undeterred by the open opposition of former Secretary Bryan and other pacifists and by differences among advocates of national defense over the exact plans to be adopted. He is said to be firmly of the opinion that the programme prepared by Sec retaries Garrison and Daniels is the best which can be offered at this time
 Plans for the speaking trips will be prepared as quickly as possible If necessary, the President may change the White House social programme mapped out before Christmas.

 Bulletin No. 3.
 "The Hawk"
 PLAY-"The Hawk" a drama of modern French life, in three acts, by Francis De Crosset, translated by Marie Zane Taylor.
 TIME-Appearing at the Jeffer- son theatre one night only, Thurs day, January 20 1916.
 CAST-William Faversham, A. S. Byron, H. E. Herbert, Grace An derson,. Ar1een Hackett
 COMMENT-The play is one of skilled workmanship, dealing with the aristocratic hawk in society and the triangle so usual in French plays, but handling and developing the characters in an unusual orig inal way. One qualification is in the opportunities for good acting, " iI,h di IOI NOliLAHCtls u MT. Y d-. versham's role, but are generally apportioned among the three prin- cipaI parts. There are strong. scenes and brilliant climaXes the whole ably presented by good company.
 Bronson Towards old time com edy rewritten to the modern taste by Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes, comes to the Jefferson next Monday and Tuesday nights under the title of 'The New Henrietta" with five well known players in the cast. William IT. Crane. the veteran actor, heads the capable company, which contains such names as Thomas. H. Ross, Mabel Taliaferro. Amelia Bingham and Macklpn Arbuckle.
 ''Because' He Loved Her." with Sam Bernard, a KeYstone-T Triangle comedy, and 'Via Wireless" Withs Chester Conl1lin and Mark Swain, another Keystone Triangle will be at the Colonial today. These Key stones need no comment in this column to attract patrons, as it is we'll known among screen enthu- siasts that for genuine and laugh . able comedy the creations of Mark Sennett eclipse anything of its kind in the film world. In fact it can conservatively be stated that the name "Keystone" carries an absolute guarantee as laugh pro ducers.
 Owing to the immense popular pity of Marguerite Clark in Mice and Men" at the Strand this Fa- nous Players Paramount feature will be retained another day. It seems that local patrons simply cannot get enough of this diminu- tive little screen favorite and but for previous engagements Man ager Abernethy would run Mice and Men" the entire week.
