CHAMBERLAIN BILL
 DEFENSIVE MEASURE
 SAYS COLONEL CRUMP
Men With Dependent Families Ex- empt Under Universal Training
 Plan, He Says

The Chamberlain universal military training bill is just the opposite of mili- tarsm, according to Col. Malcolm H.. Crump of Bowling Green, Ky, field sec retary of the Universal Military Train ing league. This measure, he declares, provides for training for defensive pur- poses only and exempt men who have families dependent upon them for sup port. One feature of the bill is the fact that the men cannot be called out for police or strike duty.
 Colonel Crump is making 8 tour of the south and reached Birmingham yester- day He is at the Tutwiler and will re- main in the city for several days. He |has distributed about 100000 pieces of the leagues literature during the past three months and has been in 10 states in the south.
 In discussing the situation Colonel Crump said
 "The south is getting back of the uni versal military training movement in fine style. Just as soon as southerners understand that the bill is the opposite of mlitarism in it's provisions they come out for 1t whole-heartedly. As a matter of fact as things are now every man be- tween the ages of IS and 45 in this coun- try can be drafted into service by the government whether he likes it or not. Under the Chamberlain bill, each boy in his nineteenth year would be given six months intensive military training. Uncle Sam would teach our boys how to fight and then send them back into civil life. However, they would be back in shops and on farms ready and ex- perienced if we were attacked either from the south west, the east or the north.
 .sTbe Chamberlain bill provides for this training for defensive purposes only.'' continued Colonel Crump. These trained boys if called to the colors under this bill. could not be used for police or strike duty. and no boy having members of his family dependent upon him would be asked to take the training.'

Otis Skinner-Jefferson

A great actor in a great play was terse description in New York paper of Otis Skinner in Booth Tarkington's 8 new comedy, Mister Antonio," to be seen at the Jefferson theatre for one per formance on Wednesday evening. MT Skinner comes in a new role-one that fits him to perfection, one that his large and enthusiastic following will be cer- tain to enjoy. This actor, with his glori- ous speaking voice and perfect diction, with his consummate knowledge of stage aft, and with his skill in romantic char acter delineation, stands in the fore-rank of native actors. Booth Tarkington is a distinctive American novelist of the day, and the combination of Skinner and Tarkington in a new play has an ire sistible appeal. &''Mster Antonio" is a cheerful little comedy drama with the theme of the good Samaritan as it's basic idea, contrasting the conditions of urban and rural life. It provides good whole some entertainment; satisfies the uni versal love of the picturesque and teaches the lesson of individual tolerance and compassion MT. Skinner comes under the Charles Frohman management and his splendid supporting company includes Eleanor Woodruff Joseph Brennan, Rob- ert Harrison, Frances Landy, Walter F, Scott and Patterson McNutt.

At the Lyric


 A more thrilling spectacle could not be devised than The Forest Fire" that serves as the headliner at the Lyric.
 The sensational sight of huge forest enveloped in flames, burning timbers crashing down with a roar and sparks flying about the air are realistically rep resented in the act. The fire serves as a climax to dramatic story which is in tense with interest. The opening scene of the playlet is in a telephone office in the Timberlands, where telephone ex- change is shown. A forest fire is re- ported and the telephone operator sticks gamely to her post, attempting to save the people threatened by the fire.
 Her cowardly lover. Enc really caused the conflagration, des&Fts her. But she is saved, as huge comotive is run through the fire az appears upon the scene just in time. lvia Bidwell as the telephone operato&J J. Albert Hall as an escaped convict avi Brownie Burke as a river boy, played the principal roles.
 Though the thriller is by far the most interesting act on the bill, two of the other numbers were very entertaining. Al and Fanny Stedman, in pianocapers.
