CLARK OPPOSED TO
DRAFTING YOUTHS
UNDER 21 YEARS
Washington Bureau,
Pensacola JournaI.

Washington. Aug. 2e.-In a speech
in the house in opposition to the pro-
vision in the new draft law calling in
men under 21 years of age, Represen-
tative Frank Clark said ne was op-
posed to calling the men below 81 be-
cause Germany would say that Amerl-
ca right at the threshold of the strug-
gle had come to the pitiful necessity
of going to the cradle to get her SOL
diers.
During the recent primary in his
district the people had everywhere ap-
plauded his declaration that he would
not vote to draft boy under 81 years
of age until convinced that the man
power of the country had been de-
pleted, Mr.. Clark said.
A man need not necessarily be
traitor for taking that position, he
said, and told of having one son on
the way TO France and another ready
to go.
