Two Productions at Polls.

G. Bernard Shaw. usually supposeS
to be extremely "highbrow." seems
to have departed from that type in
the two plays to be produced De-
cember 10 and II at Polls Theater
by the Drama League Players Of
Washington.
In each play a poker is the chief
property; in both cases it is used
as weapon OF defense. For in each
play there is fight. In The Admi-
rable Nashville the fight results in
a bloody nose for one character; I'm
augustus Does His Bit" a man Is
thrown down stairs.
Mr.. Shaw has many reasons for
writing plays-for cash mostly. saw
the cynical-but the wherefore Of
Bashville" is unusual. He states the
reason himself in a letter written
TO the Drama League Players:
1t (Bashville)," he saws. WAS
written under n law now happily OBJ
solete to secure the dramatic copy-
rlght or my novel, 'Cashel Byron's .
Profession.' against an unauthorized
American dramatization in which the
eX-champion, Mr.. James Corbett ap-
peared."
The cast which will present eau
Gustus" for the first time in this
country includes Louis McHenrv
Howe, G. A. Lyon and Maud Howell
smith. In the cast of The Admi-
rable BashvilIe" are Maurice Jar
Wis. katheryn Hitchcock, Robert Bell
John Betley Tuttle, Finley 8. Hayes,
Frances Carpenter, Denis f. Conner
Leo Mccarthy and John w. Craw-
ford.
The plays are under the direction
of Bertram Bloch.

Let Every Youth Know Duty
to Country, Says Cali :
fornia Congressman.

Sixteen-year-old boys Wilt be regis
tered for military service, under the
provisions Of q measure which Rep
resentntive Julius Kahn, of Calf
fornia, intends to offer to Congress
Representative Kahn plans to make
this an amendment to the universal
military training act, which he ad-
vocates. The measure would auto
matically enroll those reaching draft
age since the registration, and obyiats
other legislation looking to new reg
istration.
MY idea accords with the spirit Of
President Wilson's message: TO see
the war through to a victorious
finish." Mr.. Kahn said. "The regis
tration Of our youth would serve
notice to the world that we intend to
see 1t through. Its very psychological
enect will further our efforts for
victory"
The law. Mr.. Kahn said, will saw,
the country huge expense and waste
e1ort by having every youth know
when he will be subject to call.
The boys would only be required to
register for service. In their 18th year
they would receive one years train
ing. Only in their list year would
they be liable to actual military SER
vice.

FIGHT LOOMING
over UNIVERSAL
TRAINING ISSUE
Compulsory Military Serv-
ice Is Opposed by
Congressman.

One Of the warmest fights of the
present session OF Congress looms up
with the knowledge that admins
tration leaders propose to try to have
universal military training made COM
pulsory before the session adjourns.
It Is no secret that Senator Cham
berlain. head Of the Military Affairs
Committee of the Upper Branch. will
try to get his members together for
consideration of such a measure be-
fore the Christmas recess.
Regardless Of whether the commit
tee reports favorably on the legis-
lation, there will be a vigorous fight
jcrity of the Southern members are
bitterly opposed to compulsory mill
tary training
Plan of Training.
The plan is to utilize the sixteen
national army cantonments built by
SlGO, 100000 and now used for the train
ing Of the selective army.
No definite plan has been worked
out by any of the members OF the
Military Affairs Committee. but the
suggestion tnat boys or nigh school
age be given n number OF months
training each year FOR a given period
finds much favor.
Advocates Of the plan declare that
the operation of The selective law
has served to wipe out much Of the
opposition throughout the country.
They assert that parents who have
given their sons to the fighting forces
are gratified at the Improvement in
I'hysiCal condition, habits and dis
cipline that the few months in
tensive training in the national army
has accomplished.
Opponents of the measure declare
hat it is deliberately taking up the
policy of militarism which brought
ibout the war with Germany and
which has been universally criticized.
