DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION

Newton D. Baker, Secretary of
War, stated in Kansas City Monday
that it was the purpose of the War
Department to keep at least 1,OO0,-
600 men training in camps in the
United States so long as the war
shall last, and that the number of
men now training is about 100000.
AS to the extension of the draft age,
Secretary Baker said it was not the
intention of the War Department to
invade the deferred classifications
adding that with the extension of
the draft age, Glass will provide all
the men necessary. Discussing the
battle of the Aisne- Marine sector, Mr..
Baker warned against Over-optimism,

GERMANS CAN'T FORCE
DECISION IN lsl8-PREMlER


Prime Minister, today in a speech
before the House of Commons re-
viewed extensively the war situa-
ton. He referred particularly to
what had been accomplished in the
recent drive by the Allied forces on
the Scissors Rheims salient; to the
destruction of German submarines,
Of which $50 had been accounted for
since the war began-more than half
Of these in the last year-and the
part the Americans now were playing
and would play later in the fight for
the cause of democracy.
ale would be sanguine man on
the German general staff who would
now predict that Germany could OBJ
tain a military decision this year,
the Premier declared, as he charac-
terized Marshal Foch's counter-o
fensive as "the most brilliant in the
annals of war"
Mr.. Lloyd George referred to the
part the British navy had played in
the war and said that until all the
Allies were defeated at sea Germany
could never triumph.
"When the war began" said Mr..
Lloyd George, "the British navy, then
the largest in the world, represented
a tonnage of two and half million.
Now, including the auxiallary flee,
it is 100000. Were it not for this
increase the seas might be barred for
the commerce of the world.
every trade route in the world is
patroled by its ships"
The premier then referred to the
other activities of the navy, such as
conveying, patroling, mine laying,
mine sweeping and the chasing of
submarines. It was here that he said
$50 German submarines had been de-
stroyed, more than half of them in
the last year.
Since August, 1914, including
those already with the colors, Great
Britain alone has raised for the army
and navy 6,25O,0O0 men for the most
part voluntarily. The Dominions
contributed 100000 and India
1,250,O00," he said.
"If America would call to the col
ors the same number of men as
Great Britain in proportion to pOpu-
lation, it would mean nearly 15,000,-
600 men. In July 100000 American
troops were brought over, $4,000 of
them in British ships.
Everybody knows how CALAMITY
the Americans fought. They fought
with a trained skill which no one had
right to expect. Their officers
showed a skilled knowledge in the
management of the men under trying
conditions which one could hardly
expect from men who had not had a
years experience in war.
"From the moment Marshal Foch
achieved strategic command the for
tunes of the Allied armies were re-
stored. There have been mishaps,
but the masterful handling of the re-
serves has baffled the German effort
and ended in their retreat from the
Marine. 1t is too early to say that
the German effort is exhausted. They
still have powerful forces in reserve,
but it is not too early to say that
their chances of March 81 will not
come again.
"America already has a powerful,
large and victorious army in France,
the equal of the best troops. 1t is
growing every day and there will be
no break in the increase of that
army until America has an army not
far short, if at all inferior in num-
bers, to the German army itself"
