NEW DRAFT LIMIT
IS TO BE IS TO As
BILL MAKING THIS PROVISION
is INTRODUCED IN BOTH
HOUSES OF CONGRESS.

Washington, Aug. Draft ages
of from lS to as years will be recon-
mended to Congress in the bill en-
bodylng the war departments new
man power program, which was in
troduced in both houses of Congress
Monday and which will be expedited
by committees with view to prompt
consideration When regular sessions
of the Senate and House are re-
suIled late this month.
After formally announcing the
new draft ages, Secretary Baker said
all the possible combinations of age
limits were carefully studied and it
was found that in order to get the
men into Glass for the program
proposed, Is to 45 was necessary.
He said, however, that the bill as
recommended to Congress will con-
tain a provision authorizing the
President to call men out of Class l
by classes, according to ages, so that
if it is found possible the men be-
tween Is and 10 will be called out
later than the older men who are
found eligible to Class /.
The war department program. the
Secretary Of War said, is purely a
military one and cannot be called a
consumption of labor, although ii
naturally will have the effect of put
ting at useful labor or in the army
all able-bodied men within the age
limits as they finally will be fixed
by Congress.
In recommending this extension OF
the age limits, Mr.. Baker continued
the department had il in mind sim.
! ply to get Tor the army the number
of men which it believed necessary tc
defeat Germany The Secretary
was not prepared to say how many
that would be nor to give any esti
mate as to the proportion of males
between the ages Of Is to 45 in,
elusive, which would be found eligi
BILE.
In making up the list and classes
the same rule viii be followed that
has governed in the first draft, with
the same exceptions from the frs
call of married men with dependent
and those engaged in essential in
| dustries.
Mr.. Baker rave II as his opinion
that IN fer about 100000 have
been drafted out of Class from tn
existing list.
