WASHINGTON, Jan. s There is

SO far as can be learned such action was
contemplated, and the classification was
under consideration, but recent events
have shown such course to be extreme

now it is the intention of the government
to do everything in its power to safe

ROOSEVELT TO VISIT

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Col. Theo

direct touch with what is happening

AS THEY Reach Il
Senate Committee Approves
Legislation Proposed by
War Department
NEXT DRAFT IS
UNCERTAIN NOW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3o.-Expansion OF
Americas lighting forces beyond their
present strength depends upon such
factors as events abroad and the ship
ping situation, Secretary Baker said
last night. IN disclosing that the War
Department has not fixed a date for
another draft. nor even determined
how many new men shall be called.
When Mr.. Baker told the Senate Mill
tary Committee on Monday the United
States would have a half a million men
in France early this year. and In all =
million and a half could go across n
ships could be found to carry them, he
referred TO the divisions now IN train
ing camps and those already In Europe.
The Secretary mode clear yesterday
his opinion that n events made Il
necessary 10 call out more than another
increment Of half q million men the
Executives autnoriiy 10 draft men for
lighting units other than reserSes
would be exhausted and further legis-
lation by Congress would be necessary.
He said, however, that under the au-
thority TO call two increments Of line
soldiers Of 10000 each and such addi-
tlonai numbers for recruit battalions
and special units Us the President my
deem necessary" the second draft might
bring out in all as many as a million
men.
The Senate committee hos tentatively
approved legislation proposed by the
War Department 70 provide for the
] registration Of youths, attaining the age
Of u years since June 5.
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder APP
pearlng to explain the bills told the
committee IL was proposed 10 hold 4

that most Of the new rcgistrants vii

we Will be assured, almost, Of no

In a formal memorandum presenting
his views, the General also d'sspprove'
suggestions that the registration be ex
tended to men beyond the age Of 81.
Although Secretary Baker YESTERDAY
reiterated his desire 70 have exempte'
registered men who reach the age o
81 years without being called Into th
military service. the committee refuse
10 include such a provision In the legis
: lation.
