Both the monthly ore shipments

Duluth Herald, compilation avail

during the 1918 period up to June

very little shipping was done be-
fore May /.
The record is merely in line with

policy in all branches of commerce
and industry, the ore being parti-

the extensive use of iron and steel
products in the war. The showing

Thomas Mann, lis a spiritual organi-

picture of German Imperialism is only
too true, is 1t astonishing that 1t holds
out little attraction to anyone who
knows it for what 1t is. Is it astonish-
ing that many a German-American,
who has gone back to pass his old age
in the fatherland which he had left as
a youth. has found life there so mar
row and freedom so restricted that
he has after a short time come back
again to a land where the common man
enjoys full political liberty and finds
every business and social opportunity
open to him and his children?

were allowed to volunteer for this

likely that the desired number was
secured. Iron county will send two
men to the University of Wiscon-

Florian Jelinski and Herbert Emun-
son having been inducted into this
department of the service. They
will enter the service June IS.

War Department Working on
Plan of Age Extension
Likely to Be Fight on Great
Downward Revision

WASHINGTON, July 27.-There is a
possibility of exhaustion of class one
before congress can finally act to ex-
tend the ages.
Some states have wired to Provost
Marshal General Crowder that they are
on the verge of drawing their last men
of the first class.
To rescue The situation so that it will
not necessitate invasion of the deferred
classes further, it is likely that call
for men who have turned 81 will be is
sued before January /. 1919. That. how
ever, may not prevent invasion of the
second class, unless congress acts
hastily upon extension of ages when it
eonvenes at the end of August
1t is predicted that by Labor day. the
hast of the fighting men now in class
enc will have been called.
Meantime, the war department is
working on its program for extending
the age limits.
Chairman Dent, of the house military
committee, predicts that there will be a
fight in congress if there is too radical
q sweep downward, though he said to-
day that the house will probably yield
to anything "reasona able"
The house is the most opposed to the
extension downward, but ii is likely that
IL win not so to the point of attempt
ing TO tRwaSt Ine preSlusntS WaSneS.
Dent declared that he has not been
shown the necessity for extending the
ages yet However, figures in possess
sion OF the provost marshal general in
dictate that class one is nearly exhaust
cd and that, even with new 21-year ODDS.
there will be early exhaustion.
There is some tendency tn complain
because Secretary of War Baker de-
ferred action until congress completes
its recess. Lenders say that, had he
favored extension earlier, the possi-
bility Of the present situation would
have been avoided.
The need for men in the army is IL
Illustrated by the order to close down on
navy and marine enlistments for the
next two months. Navy and marine
corps officials are disposed to be critf-
cal of this decision, though they incline
to think that their requirements can be
met in that period by voluntary enlist
mAnts.
Incidentally, officials are planning to
make wider use of limited service
men than they have made to date. pro-
vided Secretary of War Baker approves
plans now before him.
