TODAY
Majestic - Sarah Bernhardt in
"Mothers of France."
Arcade-Lionel Barrymore in
"His Father's Son" and Fig.
mian comedy.
Orpheum-Mae Murray in "On
Record," and Paramount com-
edy.
Rae-Joihn Mason in "Jim the
Penman." Christy comedy.
AT THE MAJESTIC
The fact that Madame Sarah Ber-
hardt appears in the Jean Richepin
film "Mothers of France," now show-
ing at the Majestic theater, is not the
only reason for interest in the play.
"Mothers of France" is a symbol of
the spirit of the French republic in
the war.
The New York World says, "Emotion-
ally the play could not have been more
powerful or appealing if expressed in
spoken dialogue, and the ability of the
camera to overcome the restrictions of
the regular stage gave the scenes a
realism which brought their message
home to every spectator,"
"Mothers of France" will be at the
Majestic today and tomorrow.
AT THE ARCADE
The Arcade today will show "His
Father's Son," starring Lionel Barry-
more supported by Irene Howley. As
the rich man's son who bet he could
hold a job for a month, Lionel Barry-
more produces some good comedy, and
there are plenty of good laughs. Mr.
Barrymore, by his work in "The Yel-
low Streak," and "Dorlin's Divorce,"
has won a host of admirers.
Tickets for today's performance, for
the benefit of the Ann Arbor Women's
club, are on sale at Goodyear's Drug
store and the Farmers' and Mechan-
ics State Street bank.

the country are losing students by:
the hundred because of the call issuedI
by the government for military andt
agricultural men.1
Several agricultural colleges and
departments are on the verge of clos-
ing because of the small enrollment oft
students which in many cases, is too
limited to allow the proper organiza-
tion of classes. As well as a decrease
in students, the colleges are feeling a
marked shortage of instructors in agri-
culture as a result of numerous
leaves-of-absence issued to allow ex-
perts opportunity to organize food con-.
servation work in the various states.
Michigan has lost about 300 men,
Yale, 200; Cornell, 355; Illinois, 250;
Ohio State, 500; Princeton, 25 for "Y"
work alone, and practically every
other university has been reduced by
the same proportion. The number of
men leaving is about . equally divided
between those enlisting and the ones.
who are going to do agricultural work.
A few are going to do service with
the American legions in Europe and
others are going into other govern-
ment service in the United States.
Practically every university and col-
lege as well as many secondary.
schools have voluntary or compulsory
military drill, and many have special
courses in military organization and
strategy under direction of United
States army officers. The corps of
the universities are organized under
the provision made for the reserve of-
ficers' training corps. Michigan now
has about 3,000 students drilling, Co-
lumbia has 1,700, Dartmouth 1,095,
Pennsylvania 1,800, and other uni-
versities have similar numbers.
Intercollegiate athletics have been
discontinued by several of the eastern
universities, Michigan, Harvard, Cor-
nell, Yale, and Princeton heading the
movement. Wisconsin has been the
only western university to take similar
action. More time can be devoted to
military training without the counter-
attraction of athletics. Physical train-
ing has been replaced by compulsory
drill in a few colleges.
Fraternities at some universities
may be compelled to close their houses
ment. At Washington 80 per cent of
two fraternities have left school. At
Colorado three fraternities discon-1
tinued proposed house construction#
plans because of the war.
Training camps are claiming manyz
of those who are leaving college, for1
the students realize the value of the1
instruction received at the various1
forts. Although the training under-1
gone at the universities is highly de-.
sirable, the intensive three months'1
course offered by the government is1
more satisfactory.
DECLARES VOLUNTEER SYSTEM
OF RECRUITING UNDEMOCRATIC
Princeton, N. J., April 26.-That the
volunteer system of recruiting men for"
the army is the most inefficient and
most undemocratic of methods, as has
been proven by England's experience,
was the assertion of Captain Leslie
Vickers in an address to Princeton
students on his personal experiences
in the world war.
Due to the criminal negligence of a
narrow administration, the flower of
England's young manhood has been
sacrificed in cold blood, said Captain
Vickers.

Every effort of the six departments

for the spring exhibit next week at
which visitors to Ann Arbor for the
May Festival will find considerable en-
tertainment between concerts.
The botany department has among
many other things of interest, the sub-
terranean experimental laboratories,
the incubator rooms with controlling
temperature, photographic rooms, her-
bariums for lower and higher plants,
and the museum. Besides these will
be the extensive botanical garden ex-
hibit, specimens brought from the
University botanical gardens.
At this exhibit growing flower plants

Oscar Vitt Reports to Tigers Sunday.
Detroit, April 26.-Oscar Vitt, star
