Cosby of Training League, Told of Four Months Work Period for All When They Reach IS Years.
 3,00O,000 in Three Years

Pleading for the adoption of universal military training in the United states and explaining the plans which are now be- fore Congress, Arthur r. Cosby, executive secretary of the Universal Military League, addressed the kiwanis Club at it's luncheon yesterday at the Tutwiler.
 He asked for the support of the lxi~anls club for the measures now being conslu- cred. He was loudly applauded by the members.
 Universal military training means four months training for every physical tit man at the age of eighteen years, sah' MT Cosby. It means a small st2ndlhs army and means preparedness
 MT Cosby was connected with training camp activity during the recent war. lie impressed the great necessity for prepara- ton to meet any emergency
 ssWe believe in a sound military policS based upon universal training declared the sneaker after a few introductory remarks and explanation of his connec- ton with the Universal Training league
 ..The idea of universal training he con tinued. "is that every boy upon reaching the ago of eighteen years be physieally examined by a board in his own locality. They will be examined near their homes and will be classified and sent to camps near their home territory. They Will re- ceive four months training after wh'Nl they will form part of the civilian reserve. It does not mean nine months serN lee os A years service. but four-month perioa of training and then retirement 10 the civilian reserve. where the boy can re- 1 turn to his home, to the mill, 1arll, or other pursuit. In the case Of boys who cannot speak English. the period of traln- ling will last for two months longer. Ihey will he taught English and the principles lof Americanism.
 According to this plan, boys can be trained at the rate of about 6ooooo an nually At the end of three years the United states would have trained re- serve of 3000,o00 men already assigned to

OUT OF FUNDS FOR
 UNPAVED STREETS
City Makes Small Appro- priation for Other High
 way Work and Needs
of Birmingham, Ala Statement February 2Sth, 1920.
 nEGATrnCE

So that the department of public inn some of the necessary work during the coming year. an additional slS,500 was ap- propriated for this department by the city commission at their weekly meeting yes- terday.
 The appropriation is divided as follows:
 Excavation 5000, street sprinkling and cleaning $s,5o0 repairing and cleaning sewers 5000. bridges s30o0. paved streets $l.0o0. No additional appropriation was made for unpaved streets
 According to Commissioner Burruss, this sum will be used to take up the deficit for the first six months, so that the work might go as usual for the remainder of the year
 In answer to a number of petitioners who came before the city commission yes- terday with requests for paving, Con- missioner Burruss, of the department of public improvements, said:
 We are heartily in favor of paving, and are endeavoring to GO as much of UT. work as possible. But there are a num- Der of petitions on file in my office, and the best I can promise is to recommend the approval of your petition and wait until we can get to you. It may be No veE1ber; 1t may be next spring; but we assure you that we will proceed wltn the work as quickly as our financial condi- tion will allow.
 Now, you will ask that as the streets are in many instances impossible, that we place them in fairly good condition until we can get around with the paw ing. The department of public imprr e. ments has not one cent for work on cr paved streets.
 Because our depleted finances will not allow us to carry on street work as large scale as before. we will sell twen- tv of the city mules at auction Thursday at Fes & Sons stables,

ice at a moments call in case of war declared by Congress.
 We did not start preparations for tho last war until war had started. Those who were in it know what that meant. It would be a great thing in these days of holshevism to have the boys of the country taught the respect for the flag and the responsibilities of citizenship, which such training would impress upon them. One of the best articles I have read upon the subject was one by Dr. Scale Harris, of Birmingham, who
 strongly favors military training. All physicians do. He stated that in the late war the records showed B per cent of the men defective He stated that by training such as was given in the camps during the war and by the treatment #
 the boys at the age when it would do most good. the detectives could be re- duced to 10 per cent. He suggested thar it he called universal physical training.
 Mir. Cosby stated that the American Legion is strongly behind the movement and that other organizations are for it.
 He urged the Kiwanis club to support the universal training, which he stated wit keep coming up before Congress until 1t is finally adopted
 It was announced that the annual dim n,r of the Kiwanis Club will be held at the TutwiIer next Tuesday night Tho regular luncheon Will be held as usuAi next Tuesday, but there will be no pre- gram and the entire luncheon will be de- voted 10 bush ess.
