Eleven million male citizens from twenty-one to thirty years old. inciu- sive. will be subject to draft by the president of the United States.
 But in order that men under twen' ' one and over thirty may serve tn / country If they so desire the measure provides for the acceptance of volun- teers over eighteen years and under forty years.
 The gigantic number of men subject to draft will not all be called to the colors by any means. The proposed law gives authority to the president to draft as many men as he deems nee essary to fill up the regular army, the National Guard and the conscription force of .0O0. .Ooo men.
 2,oo1 900 Armed Men.
 It Is estimated by the war depart ment that as result of the authority conferred and the action to be taken 20ol. GOO officers and men will com. prise the military establishment of the United States.
 
 fly Is given to fill up by draft the reg ular army and the National Guard to war strength, and to raise outside this 100000 l men. 500.000 to come as the first quota.
 The war strength of the regular army Is about 9o.Oo0 men. IL his now about 135,o 900 men and Is short about 10000 The National Guard has war strength of 625000 men. It has now about l25,0oo and Is short about 5o0,Oo0 men.
 Therefore. on the first call there can be taken for war service about 655.Oo0 men to i'll up gaps in the regular army and National Guard and in addition 50o0 900 as the first quota of the con- script army of 100000 men.
 In the first draft 1t Is possible about l,l55,00 men will be taken for active service. leaving authorization under the present bill to call out immedl. ately 50O.O0O more for another con- script army.
 No Place for Roosevelt
 The action allowing Col. Theodore Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for eign service has been eliminated.
 What the colonel will do now that his pet project Is incapable of realiza- ton Is Il question. IL is generally un- derstood that President Wilson Is ab soiutely opposed to the idea of vol unteer organization under command of tho colonel.
 Pay for enlisted men and non commissioned officers was agreed upon as follows:
 Men now receiving less than S2l per month are increased to S3l per month those who received S24 are increased to S32 men who receive S3o, S36 or $40 are increased SC each: men who receive S45 are increased to $50.
 Army Officers Pleased.
 Army officers received notice of the age limit with pleasure. They had expected higher maximum. though they would rather have had the orig inal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
 new section in the bill authorizes the president to organize and equip three machine-gun companies for each infantry and cavalry brigade and four machine-gun companies and an armored motorcar for each in- fantry and cavalry division.
 An interesting change Is that the draft will not be based upon the num- Der of persons available for serv- ice." as first proposed. but upon the population.

 Dry Clause Drastic.
 The prohibition provision Is exceed ingly drastic The president Is au- thorized to make regulations govern ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors 'in or near" military camps. Not only can liquor not be sold or sup piled but 1t will be Illegal for any person to have in his possession any intoxicating or spirituous liquors at any military station, cantonment, camp, fort. post or officers or enlisted mems club.
 It will be unlawful for anyone to sell intoxicating liquor. including beer, to any officer or member of the military forces while in uniform.
 Likewise, the social evil is guarded against through the suppression and prevention of the setting up of any houses used for immoral purposes.
 The fact that under the authority of congress the president Is author ized to cali II 900 00o men to the colors Is expected to have great moral ef- feet in Germany. It Is quite true that the entire force he can commander at this time will number two and a quarter million. But even this mum Der would constitute a re-enforcement which British and French officers say would assure victory if employed in France.
 Could Relieve British.
 England to date has raised some 6.0OO. .0O0 men. With the exception of couple of million these men are at the front in France, Belgium. Egypt. the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
 What the president and Secretary Baker desire first and above all Is to train the officers and men. When they are ready to fight the drilled troops of Germany. then probably they will be sent abroad. and not before.
 But Germany doubtless will watch with increasing anxiety the prepared ness of the American people and will realize that peace will be most desir- able and necessary, before they are ready for service in France.
 Officers Go to France.
 Three army medical ofiicers-Ma1. William l.. Keller and Capts. Daniel P. Card and George M Edwards-were assigned 10 duty at the French military hospital at Ris Orangis, France.
 Organization of two reserve air squadrons for the army was authorized by Major General Scott. chief of staff.
 The first class at West Point will be ment announced, and immediately com missioned to supply 154 highly trained officers to aid in the instruction of the first 5oo,ooo selective draft army to be called to the colors some time in Sep tember. Under normal conditions the cadets would have completed their course fin June, 1918.
 Women Form Committee.
 The woman's liberty loan committee has been formed. Announcement to this effect Is made by the treasury de partment.
 The committee met In the office of the secretary of the treasury. The members present were Mrs. George Bass, Mrs. Antoinette Funk and Mrs. Kellogg Fairbanks of Chicago, Mrs. Clifford Dudley of Tennessee, Miss Pierce of Kansas City, representing Mrs. Guernsey, and Mrs. John O.
