NO NOM -COMBATANT COM.
FOR MEN OF DRAFT AGE
Slackers LoophoIe Shut Special Duties
For Elders.

The so-called Stacker commits
sions.' by which men Of draft age
seek to escape service in the ranks
and get officers places in non-com-
Blatant branches of the army. have
struck snag in two general policies
land down by Secretary Baker.
These are: First, that no men Of
draft age be commissioned unless it
is shown clearly that they are better
fitted for the special work to which
they are called than any civilian be-
yond the draft age whose services
can be secured; and. second. that no
function OF the army that can be car
ried on efficiently with civilians shall
be placed on a military footing by
commissioning the men needed TO SUI
pervise the work The problem Of
commissions in the various staff de-
partments Of the army that have to
do with the supply lines, transporta-
tion, construction and hundred other
non-combatant functions of the serv-
ice, is difficult one. There have
been numerous cases of young men Of
draft age who have obtained commits
sions in these services and, therefore,
are exempt from the operation of the
selectiye service law under which
the fighting troops are being mobil-
lied 1t is the desire of Secretary
Baker, apparently, to keep this ele
ment of the commissioned personnel
of the army at minimum, in justice
TO the great body of the drafted men,
and to prevent any suggestion that
men of draft age have found shelter
in the commissioned grades of the
non-combatant branches of the serv-
ice from the liability OF service at the
front
The policy is founded on the theory
that there are older men in civil life,
well fitted for the special duties re-
quired, to whom such commissions
could be given, leaving the men of
draft age to the operation of the law.
1t is not desirable, however, to make
any hard and fast rule against staff
commissions for draft-age men, since
there certainly are special cases
which should be considered.
Mr. Bakers ruling as to army func-
tions which need not of necessity be
given military status applies particu-
larly to inspection of materials manu-
factured or produced for the army.
Food. clothing. tentage and thousands
of other items, it is held, could be in
spected as we'll by civilian as by an
officer. and proposals to commission
men for inspection duty only have
been held up.
