KING OF THE FUNMAKERS HAS BEEN DRAFTED.

Los Angeles, Cal., April 15. Charlie Chaplin, motion picture comedian, has been drafted and expects his call in June, it was announced. Although he is an Englishman, Chaplin has waived rights. He is at the present touring the United States selling Liberty bonds. “Bud” Fisher, originator of Mutt and Jeff, has arrived in France, and when Chaplin dons the khaki two of America’s greatest humorists will be leading lives strangely different from former ones.
