ENGLISH REDUCE
DISCOUNT Rate
(By Associated Press.l

London, Jan. 1S.-A reduction in the
Bank Of England discount rate, an
nounced today, was regarded as an in
dication that the gold situation and
the question Of the foreign exchanges
are we'll in hand, so that the mainten-
ance Of the per cent rate is no longer
necessary. The new rate is 5h per cent.
The market believes that the chief pur-
pose, however, is to bring the official
minimum more in line with interest on
which were lending on the new loan at
1 per cent under the bank rate with a
minimum charge of 5 per cent. Their
charge now will be only II Of / per

OPPOSES DRAFT AGE RAISE.
Secretary Baker May Favor Lowering
Minimum to 10 Years.

Secretary Baker May Favor Lowering
Minimum to 10 Years.
Washington. Nov. 3o--Dtscussion by
members OF congress Of proposed legis-
lation changing the draft ages has
brought an official expression from
Secretary OF War n. D. Baker OF his
views Of The subject.
Secretary Baker said he vigorously
opposed raising the draft age beyond
the present maximum. but that he IL
not opposed to reducing the limit to
10. That age was fixed in his original
recommendation to congress.
From the attitude assumed by Sec
rotary Baker 1t is apparent the admin
istration will raise strong opposition to
any legislation introduced which seeks
to raise the draft age.
1t is customary for the military COM
mittees Of the senate and house to sub
NIT bills referred to them on military
matters to the secretary OF war for in
dorsement 1t may be assumed that II
any bill TO raise the draft age Is sub
mitted to Secretary Baker he will re-
turn 1t with an expression Of vigor-
Gus opposition.
There are 100000 remaining regis
trants to be classified as to their liabil-
ity for military service when question
naires now being sent out are returned
to local boards. This number will fill
the second levy of 100000 under the
first draft call. This Is as far as the
war department has planned. Arrange
ments are yet to be made for the sec
ond draft call, and the status of men
who have reached 81 since the July
registration is yet to be fixed.
Another question remaining unde-
cided is that affecting the status Of
conscientious directors. Religious OBJ
Jectors are given a fixed status in the
law. The status OF conscientious OBJ
jectors is not fixed. Delegations have
visited Secretary Baker seeking ex-
emption for men OF their belief. Thous-
ands have written the war depart
ment.
Secretary Baker indicated today that
this question VIII not be disposed of
until the last increments OF the first
draft levy are sent to camp and the
Commanding officers are given definite
information as to the number Of con-
scientious objtctors.
The present policy Of the war depart
ment, while not formally expressed,
seems to be to permit the employment
OF conscientious directors in most cases
in noncombatant work, but divisional
commanders will be given wide latitude
to handle individual cases according to
their discretion.

cxellst Good Driver.

An English automobile publication,
in discussing the qualifications Of 4
driver. for either pleasure cars or
trucks. quotes the experience Of a
large employer who said that, other
things being equal, he always gave
the preference to the man who had
owned q motorcycle. Among his rea-
sons for this were that a motorcycle
owner understood something about
the need for economy il gasoline and
tires. Moreover, he had experience In
driving an engine that requires more
careful operation than the water
cooled auto engine, and consequently
was more sensitive to any bad run
ming Of the engine; besides having q
good idea Of adjustments and repairs.
