LIMIT FOR
DRAFT CERTAIN
TO BE EXTENDED
oosrSUEp FROM PAGE ONE

the original registration alreadJT have
been exhausted In Arizona and are
nearly exhausted in several other
States. II the ver-incrsasing shipping
facilities permit heavier overseas

large draft calls. Class / may be used
up before January l.
Army Of 100000 August I.
Including June calls, approximately
1,e0O, 900 draft men have been called 10
the colors. The July calls will bring
this number up to nearly 1000. 900. Gen.
Crowder has told the Senate Military
Affairs Committee that the July calls
would aggregate $4,000.
With 100000 draft men under arms
by the end Of July and the loo. 900 in
the regular army and the National
Guard, the strength of the American
army by August will be 100000 men.
Another 100000 men can be fur
nished by the draft system without
necessitating an invasion OF the de-
ferred classes.
A registration Of Ioss3,2Is between
the ages of 81 and 45, both inclusive.
Is estimated by Gen. Crowder. From
IS to 20, both inclusive. he would ex-
pect to enroll 3,OS7,0S3. Ninety-six
per cent Of the men between Is and
20 are not married, It Is estimated.
while n per cent Of the men between
81 and S are believed to be married.
The number Of single men between 81
and Is, therefore. Is expected to be
3.525,4 AZ, and between Is and 20 there
should be 2.sea.5s1.
Total Of 6,500,00o.
Figuring on a basis of the percent
age OF acceptances in the frs: rLcIs-
tration. Gen. Crowder would count on
registration Of the men between 81 and
8 producing 1888 fighting men,
while the IS to 20 registration should
produce 1,167,9f7. or a total Of 2,557, ,2s5.
With the present available total OF
900, 900, the extension Of the draft
ages to IS and Is would allow for an
enlargement Of the army to more
than $4,000. without disturbing the
industrial. agricultural or dor1estic
conditions Of the country.
THE only legislation recessary to
extend the draft ages" said Senator
Chamberlain. chairman Of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, ''is simply
to amend the section OF the draft act
defining that men between q and 81
shall be drawn.
House Might Oppose.
ct have heard no discussion on the
subject in the Senate Committee,
and no intimations have come to me
from the War Department that q
change Is contemplated. But It
would be a good thing"
The Senate Committee seems to
favor a change in the ages. While
the Renaral trend seema IN he mara
towards raising the draft age than
lowering it. there are still advocates
of making the minimum limit Is
years old. on the theory that above
81. q mans life begins to be mould
ed and he is engaged in affairs, the
disruption of which would cause
economic loss.
The House was more bitter against
extention OF the draft age last year
than was the Senate, and 1t is ex-
pected that IL any move Is made. the
chief opposition will arise in the
lower body.

ASK
CONGRESS TO
LET LABOR In
Would Suspend Immigra.
ton Laws During
the War.

That harvesting Of crops will be
retarded this season because Of an
acute shortage in the foreign labor
field was the assertion yesterday Of
the presidents Of fve farmers
unions who sent to Congress Q Pc
tition asking that body to suspend
all immigration laws for the period
of the war, that interfere with labor
coming to work in factories, farms
and in all pursuits necessary to
winning the war.
100000 Needed.
There is at present shortage of
FIVE million farm laborers in this
country, the committee Of union
heads declared. Unless steps are
taken at once to provide for addI-
tional help western crops will suf-
fer. 1t is declared. The petition of
the farmers reads. In part. as fol-
lows:
I'VE are taking the liberty Of Pc
titioning to Congress for suspension.
during the period of the war. OF all
immigration laws that interfere
with labor coming into the United
States to work on our farms. in our
factories and in all pursuits neces-
sary to winning the war. We re-
quest that a law be passed by Con-
gress covering the subject as set
forth in our petition. You will fur
ther oblige us IL in framing the
bill no doubtful language. uncertain
phrases or seditious limitation be
employed. or that any disloyal
amendments be permitted.
I'VE realize that no law is any
stronger than the men who enforce 1t
and we ask that the administration
Of this law be placed in the hands OF
its friends.
Great Labor Shortage.
There is a shortage OF man power
on the farms OF the United States of
at least 10000 laborers. We have
over 100000 women working in the
field and necessity is daily driving
more mothers from the cradle to the
plow. These noble women have not
become companions to the OK for
profit or as patriotic service to their
country. But they are serving an IN
terminable sentence to hard labor I'M
posed upon them by our immigration
laws. In addition to penalizing the
womanhood OF our State and nation
these laws turn thousands of acres OF
good farm land into legal deserts and
place a statutory handicap upon the
productive capacity Of every farm. No
one benefits by this law and its only
effect will be to make society incor-
rigible; the farmer ungrateful to gov
crnment, and 1t even threatens with
hunger those who are fighting the
battles Of democracy.
THE draft is rapidly increasing the
labor shortage. We now have a har-
vest upon US which can not be gath
cred with the present labor supply.
and unless labor is in some manner
provided much OF our production will
rot in the field There may be localt-
ties in which the labor supply 5 suffi-
cient but the country as q whole Is

A SEVENFOLD TASK.

However, much women may be
doing directly to win the war, it will
be long, long time before the Wom-
Ell of America will be called upon TO
bear arms. Why. then, is the Y. w.

beautiful and benevolent work. The
cheerful. big rooms where a chap
can meet his mother or sister or

For every million men who 60 TO

The Y. VI. c. \. looks after the men.
the Y. w. {. a. looks after the

OF Secretary Baker who, because OF

He has no; only asked the ASsocia-
tion to do the work. but he has cx-
amined the budget and approved il.
The sevenfold task includes work
on behalf OF the thousands OF wom-

districts. In these districts Girls
Clubs have been formed which give

PRISONERS AND CASUALTIES

1hc number of prisoners taken by
the Allies in the recent drives is said
to exceed the entire number OF AL
lied casualties. This is considered
notable, Moreover, the taking OF
prisoners was by no means the OBJ
ject of the offensive. On the con-
trary, the Yankee principle is spread
ing, with its motto, 1--WE take no
prisoners" The rounding up and
guiding to the rear OF large numbers
of Germans is regarded as rather
nuisance incidental to the main bus
mess.
All this implies an extremely high
percentage of casualties among the
German ranks, most OF which un-
doubtedly were not merely CASUAL
ties but moralitieS.
The territorial advance OF the Al
lies is small, so far, compared with
the total OF ground which remains
to be wrested from German control.
But there is very great difference
between the allied and Hun method
OF taking that same territory. Every
foot won by the German was at a
great and bloody sacrifice OF troops.
Every mile taken by the Allies is at
slight cost to themselves and at
great cost to the Germans. Even
Ludendorff has issued orders that
hereafter men must be used with
greater care. They are not, again,
to attack in the masses which have
been so fatal against the allied ar
tillery. Open formations are to be
the German order hereafter.
These leaves from the books OF
democracy were taken too late how
ever The serial draws to its close
and the last chapters are in the
hands Of the Allies.

STOP FOOD PROFITEERING.

NllhiAil Ian Nos
For some time complaints have
been made that some OF the grocers
are not observing the prices fixed
by the local board; that prices are
higher in Miami for the same arti-
cles of food than any Of the sur
rounding towns, even in the mining
camps. Not only have there been
numerous complaints here in Miami.
but complaint was filed in Washing
ton and an investigation ordered.
Yet, in the face of this pending iii-
vestigation profiteering in food
stuifs continues, not by all the mer-
chants OF the city, but some of them.
This is not complaint, it is a direct
charge, and it is the duty of those
in authority to look into this matter
for the benefit OF the people of the
whole city.
Certain OF the merchants are
marking up goods they bought
months and months ago at mere
song. and selling them TO the people
OF Miami At war prices. This thing
has been going on for some time.
and If the price fixing board would
take the trouble 10 investigate it
would find specific instances of this.
The government allows a man q
lair profit on his goods. The farmer
Is compelled TO sell his wheat at a
price fixed by law. and there is no
reason why the merchant should be
allowed TO charge a profit in excess
OF that allowed by the government.
IL is one thing to live in Miami and
another 10 pay the exorbitant prices
the merchants. or those who desire
to profiteer, charge for food siuffs.
High rentals hurt the city IN the
past and high prices'of foodstuffs is
going TO hurt il, unless stopped.
One grocer said to a customer-he
had marked up old canned goods
that once sold for 25c TO SOC: we
must get ours while the getting is
good. when she protested. And
that seems to be the policy adopted |

Italian front is to be expected at any

The machine had climbed a few hun

hands to his head, the usual signal
of a pilot that he will take control

ease.
Then for eight minutes the air
plane gave performance the like

whole known category of stunts and
added new ones with amazing sud-

by those men who are violating the
commands OF the government not to
charge exorbitant prices. They are
getting theirs while the getting is
