ICES the fixing of quotas on the basis
of class / of the new classification
and empowers the President to call
men needed for special Industrial
work.
Provost Marshal General CrowGer,
in an explanation to the committee,
said it was proposed to hold new
drawing to establish the order of liza
bility Of the new registraants. 1t is
assumed, he asserted, that most of
the new registrants will fall in class
l, giving the class this year a total
of more than 100000 men. From
this class it is expected to take the
next and future drafts. Secretary
Bakers plan to exempt men who
have attained the age Of 81, disap-
proved by Gen. Crowder, is not in
cluded in the legislation.
Secretary Baker last night dis
closed that the War Department had
not fixed the date for another draft
and made clear that the expansion of
Americas present fighting force de-
ponds upon events in France and the
shipping situation. He said that when
he told the Senate committee that the
United States would have a half-mil-
lion men in France early this year.
and million and half ready to 90
during 1918, he referred to the divi-
sions now in training camps and
those already in Europe.
The Secretary advanced the opin-
ion that additional legislation would
be necessary If more men were called
for the fighting forces than included
in the next increment of 100000. Be-
yond this he believed the Presidents
authority to draft men for other
than reserves would be exhausted. He
declared, however, that under that
portion of the law which gives the
President power to call recruit battal-
lions and special units, the second
draft might bring 100000 men.

[By l.. C. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Congress
proposed to send the man power bill
to President Wilson today.
The sole point to smooth out in con-
ference was the Penrose amendment
relieving registrants of the need for
claiming exemption. The house and
senate conferees announced last
night they had agreed, but later
amended this statement by saying the
Penrose amendment had to be
threshed out this forenoon.
Provost General Crowder was to
fight out this question with the con-
ference this forenoon.
His office explained objections to it
to the United Press in advance and
the argument he used to the confer
ees ran practically thus:
The present draft is an emergency
rush order for men. They must be
cleaned rapidly, If the 100000 army
program by June is to be accomplish
ed and victory is to be achieved next
year. And If the government has to ex.
anime into all questionnafres and
determine exemption itself, the 1919
victory Is likely to be delayed.

makes it certain that a vast number

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson today urged congress to
defeat amendments to the admins
tration water power bill which, in his
Judgment in case of government con-
troll of water powers, the interests
would gain a monopoly. In a letter
to Chairman Sims the president said:
Il did not see a draft of amend

originally drafted and Professionally
agreed upon in our informal confer
ence."
The Merrill referred to as author
of the amendments, is in the bureau
of forestry, department of agriculture.
Secretary of War Baker, Secretary
of the Interior Lane and Secretary Of
Agriculture Houston signed letter
to congress approving and endorsing
the amendments Merrill proposed.
Sims called the amendments to the
presidents attention with the state

Americas Prisoners
[By Carl D. Groat, United Press STAFF
Correspondent-]
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Twenty
thousand to twenty-five thousand Ger
man prisoners constitute Americas
portion of the great allied haul Of
$4,000 captives since July 1.
These figures are based on careful
estimates of important war depart
ment officials today. The last official
figures on American totals were IT,
600 towards the end of the Soissons-
Rheims struggle. After that time sew
eral sizeable bags were made. And,
the Americans have continued to take
prisoners ever since the main fight
ing died down.
What ratio the prisoners bear to
the dead and wounded is somewhat
doubtful. One high officer estimated
to the United Press that the Teuton
dead and wounded certainly run more
than three times the captures.
On the whole there is an inclina-
ton to believe that the German
casualties including prisoners run
half million or more since July l.
Germany was reported in March
ready to sacrifice a million or more
men to accomplish her aims. The

declare. the penetration will not be
difficult.
The action of the Czecho-Slovaks
