May Also Seek TO Exclude Men
Passing 81 at That Time;
War Department Has Power
to Continue Drawing Men

U. S. WOULD HAVE TWO
MILLION MEN IN EUROPE

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The Uni
ted States draft law may be hrOadened
to include men reaching the minimum
age of 81 years before the next call.
Secretary Baker indicated he might
ask such change and might also seek
to exclude men passing 81 before the
second call.
As the law stands, the war de-
partment apparently has power to
continue drawing men to fill the
quotas. After the first two 100000
groups are called the secretary can
get material to maintain those groups

such forces TO Europe furnished a
vexatious task but it is indicated
there will be sufficient tonnage for
transports and supply ships when
needed.

The war department has corrected
the IMPRESSION that the French will
manufacture all our, heavy saFtillery.
Baker said part would be made
abroad. but the United States had not
intended ditching its own good models
