Congress Is Asked
To Raise Arrny's
Age Limit to SIS
Baker Proposes Using Men
Over 40 for Non-Com-
batant Service

WASHINGTON, May "a. - Another
move toward full utilization of the
country's man power was made to-day
when Secretary Baker sent to Congress
the draft of bill proposing to raise
the maximum age limit for voluntary
enlistment in the army from forty to
fifty-fivc years. All men over forty SO
enlisted would be assigned to non-com.
batant service.
In letter to Speaker Clark asking
that the bill be pushed Secretary Baker
said:
Every man above the age of forty
years who is enlisted in non-combatant
branches of the service will make avil-
able for duty with the line troops a
man within the prescribed age limit for
all troops.
MANY men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable to the vari-
Gus staff corps, and departments may
be thus secured instead of younger
men without such experience, and the
efficiency of the staff corps and the de.
partments thus will be increased"
There probably are 100000 men be,
tween the ages of forty and fifty-five
and many thousands of them already
have attested their desire to serve by
pombardlng the department with appli-
cations. While the great majority of
the men in this class undoubtedly will
be restrained from enlisting by family
and business ties, the number at liberty
to join the colors is expected to be
more than sufficient to meet the pur-
pose in view.
Staff corps positions include MANY
duties behind the front Every head.
quarters unit includes a number of DO
sltlons. for which the older men would
be just as we'll suited as the present
occupants, who, under the new plan,
would be released for line duty.
Offlcial estimates are that modern
army to be maintained as an efficient
unit must have between 40 and 45 ner
cent of its actual strength on duty be-
h'nd the fighting zone. This means
that Of the first 100000 men sent 70
France 100000 serve along the line oi NJ
communication, in hospitals or at the
various headquarters and debarkat;on
bases. v

"We did answer. and the moment we
answered the response came from the
German cannon. Why? 1t was not be-
cause the German and Austrian states
men were deliberately deceiving u.s.
That is no. the charge. 1t was because
they did not in the least understand
in those countries how they are used
by their military chieftains.
"When it served their purpose they
were mere puppets. When it suited

favorable, in the direction of the AL

there was other business to be done,

speech with a plea that any criticism

During the eighteen months I have

no party organization behind me to de-
fcnd or advertise my public record. l

tion for either.
"No mere intrigue or cabal could

American Aviators
Will Defend Paris
SQUADRON Will Be Made Up of
the Best American
Pilots

PARIS, Thursday, May 23.-An Amer
lean squadron, composed of aviators
chosen from among the best American
pilots, in the future will help to de-
TEND Paris against enemy air raids.
Offer of this help was made spontane-
ously by the chief of the American
Aviation Service and accepted by the
French Government through M. Du-
mesnil, minister of aviation.
An official announcement says the
American offer was made after Ger
man air raid some time ago. Final ar
rangements were concluded to-day.
One of the bombs dropped in the
outskirts OF Paris during last nights
attack by German aviators killed six
members of family recently repatri-
ated through Switzerland. Ten other
persons were injured. The other bombs
which were dropped in. the. suburbs
fell on farm lands, causing but slight

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
PCARDY, May 24.--The same morgue-
like calm that you experience at sea
before storm is the best impression
of this front to-day. Three days ago
the cnemy's artillery fguratively de-
clared peace and its fire was cut to a
minimum. For two days our guns
Numbered on intermittently and then
they entered into the spirit of the
thing.
AS this is being written the harshest
sound within earshot is the sputtering
Of the American motorcycle belonging
10 dispatch rider taking message
back to the rear. His message reads ::
Nothing to report
AS the sound of the motor dies away
the singing of the French field larks
down the road is the only sound to
break the stiffness. The lark's notes
have replaced what was recently the
laundering roar of guns, easily heard
twenty miles in the rear.
Every Gun Is Silent
After midnight this morning walked
along road in the brilliant moonlight
in this vicinity which is usually raked
by the enemy's fire. The shadowed
shell holes that | occasionally passed
on the way to the trenches and the
constant pyrotechnic display of the
watch flares on the line as 1T winds
around the Montdidicr salient gave the
only ocular evidence of war.
The ear could detect nothing. Early
this morning, before sunrise, the sit
uation at the actual front was the
same. A rifle shot would have startled

the most hardened soldiers who have
been hearing tho din for weeks.
AS the sun rose an enemy sausage
poked its nose above the trees from
the enemy's rear. This was our sig
nal to leave. Skirtng through the
bushes to our hidden car we cranked
up and scuttled down the open road as
fast as our Detroit mailorder auto
mobile could take us.
Beat Enemy Shells
The sausage observer observed US
and signallcd for shrapnel. 1t came,
hut it was behind: wc we're moving too
fast. With the exception of an oc-
casional two or three shells like these
of especially directed shrapnel, it is
evident that the encmy cunners are
under positive orders to withhold fire.
The effect is unique to those who
have become accustomed to being lulled
to sleep by the high explosive thunder.
Add to this the incongruity Of an Amer
lean infantry band playing soft evening
accompaniments in certain village
where shells two days ago were not
entirely unknown, or soldier-singer
from New York singing war parodies
on popular home music to a semi-crcle
of admiring soldiers and officers.
None Is Deceived
Another touch Of incongruity is the
rattlng of the farmers harrow on the
gravel road near the front as he comes
rome from the field in the summer
dusk where he has been working de-
spite the possibility of she'll fire. The
harrow browns out the band and the
singing completely and they are forced
to stop until it has passed.
Out Of this deadly calm, within
+Wa11yo t,yontU- fOny hours ~, anv

loose and the war will continue. Every
body knows it's the lull and they are

DETROIT, May 24.-As quantity pro-

Motor Company agrees with Mr.. Ford
and holds that the time has come for
the people to stop worrying about past
delays and postponed fultillments of
promises and centre their attention on
the essential facts of the successful
evolution ana realized quantity pro-
duction OF the Liberty motor. Encour-
agement and recognition at this stage.
In will ha hnc
newsd efforts.
The Ford production aims at one hun
dred motors day. The plant will
doubtless attain or surpass that volume
within three months, and probably will
produce twenty-five a day by the middle
Of June. By that time the Buick plant
atFlint, Mich; the Cadillac plant here.
the Trego plant in Connecticut and the
Nordyke- -Marmon plant at Indianapolis
also will be in production. The output
Of these plants, plus that of the Pack
ard and Lincoln company, which are al
ready we'll into production, will total
not less than one hundred a day BY
June 10.
Will Fill All Orders by September
the rate of production will accel-
crate rapidly from that time on until
u reaches between 400 and 500 a day,
manufacturers are already beginning
to feel that additional orders should
be placed at once in order that prepara-
tions can be made for continuous pro-
duction. Although France, England and
Italy have put in requests for $4,000
Liberty motors, the total number act
uauy ordered from manufactures to
date is only 22,500, which probably will
represent only two months run of the
capacity the factories will have in Au-
gust The chances are, therefore, that
me whole standing order will be filled
IN Setpember, at the latest.
Motor production, however, is now
50 far ahead of the output of battle
planes and is likely to be for so long
time, that large numbers of the
original United States Government or
oers OF Liberty motors can be diverted
70 NIL the requirements of the Allies.
Plane Production Speeded

!our' plane is just about beginning

arations and the great accumulation of
parts that have been made, will be at
tanned very rapidly.
The Fisher Company received in
structions yesterday to go ahead on an
immense order for the great Capronl
night bombing planes.
There will be little or no delay in
turing these planes out at a very
rapid rate, possibly as high, not
withstanding their size, as twenty a
day, when the capacity of the plant is
attained.
