Chandler Fights to
Make Age Limit q
From The Worlds 5 Bureau


7O4 Metropolitan Bank Building.
Washington, April 25.-Ropresen-
tativc Chandler still is pronounced in
his determination to have amended
tho conscription act placing the min
imum age at II instead OF II.
He has persstently canvassed a
great number of congressman and has
extended his work over into the sem
ate and his work is showing good eff
fects. He is the most active worker
on this particular point in the bill in
the house. Today, after a long con-
ference with Representative Kahn, he
received his assurance that he would
assist in the committee that the age
limit be raised to 81 With this as
surance Chandler will support the
minority report, which Is practically
original draft.
With Chandler's announcement that
he will vote for conscription there are
now five members of the house sup
porting it and three against 1t. Those
for, conscription now are Hasting,
Carter, McKeowan, Thompson and
Chandler, with Ferris, McClintick and
Morgan against.
The proposed conference of the
Oklahoma delegation failed to mate
rialize this morning, and efforts to
get the delegation to vote as unit
were abandoned.
While it is not probable that a vote
will be reached before Saturday, it is
practically conceded now that the
conscription act, with a minimum age
limit of 21 years, will be passed.

department officials have completed

learned today. found 1t possible to
build the whole order without great
delay.
The boats will be duplicates OF the
S00-ton type craft already under con-
structlon.
A decision also Is expected SHORTLY
on the question of additional de-
stroyers. Indications are that the plan
to turn out smaller boats than those
recently ordered will bo abandoned.
No appreciable speeding up of de-
liveries. 1t was found. would result
from return to tho 750-ton type
boats as against the LOO tonners.
while the military value of the smaller
boats IL decidedly less. Contracts for
the five great battle cruisers recently
ordered will be signed tomorrow.
