ALL MEN BECOMING
 q, MAY SEE SERVICE
CHAIRMAN CHAMBERLAIN OF SENATE MILITARY COMMIT
 TEE INTRODUCED BILL.
REQUEST WAR DEPARTMENT
Another Measure Introduced Would Provide For Furloughing of National Army Men For Handling Crops,
 and Other Agricultural Duty.

Washington.-At the request of the war department Chairman Chamber lain of the Senate military committee introduced a bill for the registration for military duty of all men who have become 21 years old since June ,. 1917, when the draft law went into eff feet
 Another bill which Senator Cham berlain introduced at the request ol the administration would provide for furloughing national army men for harvesting crops and other agricultur- al duty.
 Another bill would put the quota of the states on the basis of available men in the first class instead of on population.
 In determining upon the registra- tion of men who have become 21 since the draft law was enacted, the war department nas rejected any plan to raise the age limits of the draft to take in men more than 31.
 Registration of men who have be- come of age since the draft law was enacted, was referred to in the recent report of Provost Marshal General Crowder as one of the means by which a supply of men for the National Army might be assured without taking those who might have others dependent upon them. It could be done also, the provost marshal general pointed out, hy extending the age limits above the present line of 31 The War Depart ment had adopted the first suggestion. It is estimated that it will add about 100000 men to the draft available this year. Congressmen have been adv1s- ed that foreign legislation will be necessary to perfect and carry On the draft and the passage of Senator ton support, is expected promptly in both houses.
 Another bill introduced by Senator Chamberlain would provide a distinc- tive badge or button for exempted men.
 The bill changing the basis of state quota is believed to provide a more | equitable system, as IL Will e1cluue entirely enemy aliens from the basis. Enemy aliens were included in the basis for the first draft, and there was much complaint Heavy enemy alien populations in some congested dis tricts forced Americans to army duty regardless of exemption claims to make up district quotas.
 The bill to permit troops to go to agricultural work merely would au- thorize the secretary of war to fur tough men for civilian duty It is known, however, that the War Depart ment intends to use the authority principally to provide men for harvest time and other agricultural work vital to the food supply.

M'CUMBER PICTURES POSITION
DECLARES ENGLAND IS NOW BEARING BRUNT OF THE WAF
 SAYS DUTY NEGLECTED.
5,OOO,OOO TROOPS NEEDED
Russia and Roumania Are Out of the War-ItaIy Is Losing Ground France Unable To Make Head
 way, Asserts Senator.

Washington. Senator McCumber of North Dakota gave the Senate a gloomy picture of the position of the United States and her allies, in em- phasizing his plea for radical speed- ing up of the shipbuilding program. He declared England was now bear ing the brunt of the war, and asked: "How long can she stand this strain?" The United States must send 5,00O,- 900 troops to balance the man-power of the central powers, he said, and 100000 would be needed to make the Germans retreat.
 Russia and Roumania are out of the war;" asserted Senator McCum- Der. Italy is losing ground. France is unable to make any headway. The wall of opposition at the eastern end of the battle line in continental Eu- rope is crumbling. Who can say how long Italy can or will withstand the Teutonic pressure? Optimistic in deed must be the man who will say aG single year, without additional SUD- port With Italy under the heel of the conqueror, with France assaiIed in the flank, who can prophecy that the country will not quickly be brought under the heel of the same conqueror and England's army left to battle against overwhelming num- bers? This is delineating two things: First, the exact situation as it now is; and second, the possibilities of the future, and it is presented with the hope that we will at least partially awaken to realization of what is before us."
 Senator McCumber said the idea that pointing out our weakness dis couraged the American people and encouraged the enemy was mistak- en one, and declared that "We must now learn the lesson that boasting will not win this war"
 He said he was tired of hearing ar- gument that Germany would be re- duced to submission by starvation, and stated that the central powers control three times as much territory in Europe as do the allies. The bal ance of resources held by this cuon- try, he said, should not be considered until there was tonnage to carry men and products across the seas.
 "The entente powers have about reached their limit" he said. gro bal ance of resources held by this coun- powers this country would have to send 5,0O0,OOO men," and argued that another 100000 was necessary to overbalanee the geographical advan- tage of the central nations, and an- other 100000 if the United States and her allies wished to be the aggressors, in other words, 100000 to make the Germans retreat.
 When the United States entered the war the allies cried: Give us ships, " declared Senator McCumber. We al layed their fears; we assured them we would supply them shipping. We took that duty upon ourselves, the most important, the most vital duty incumbent upon us in this war. And we have neglected that duty beyond any other, shamefully neglected it."
