MAN POWER BILL
 IS CONSIDERED
 GOOD MEASURE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13.- The senate military committee has reported favorably upon the immedi- ate passage of the man power bill extending the draft ages from IS to 45.
 The amendment which provides for two years of free education after the war for the boys under 21 also received a favorable consideration, and it is expected that it will be passed along with the original bill. The bill will be rushed through in order that the men may be called upon to register on September 5.
 Orders have been issued prohibit ing the enlistment of men within these ages until after the bill has been considered by congress. The reason for the stopping of the en- listments is that many men desiring to pick their places in the army will not wait and may break up the in dustries, where if they waited they might be considered as necessary to the industries and exempted.

NATIONAL MOVE
FOR PHYSICAL
REGENERATION
Started by National Security
League Through Committee
Headed by Walter Camp.

Impressed by the fact that % per
cent. Of the young men called to the
colors In the draft are being rejected
for physical disability, the National Sc
curity League has started a nation
wide movement to promote the phys
zeal welfare of the youth of the land
through the organization by communi-
ties Of branches of a Committee on
Physical Reserve, of which Walter
Camp, veteran trainer of athletes, is
chairman. In answer to a letter sent
by the league to the mayors of all the
cities In the country of over 5000 pop
ulation asking them to appoint COM
mittees to cooperate with Mr.. Camp,
200 committees In 80 states have al
ready been appointed to carry out the
idea. Associated with Mr. Camp on
the Committee on Physical Reserve
are William G. Anderson, member Of
the Advisory Committee of Yale Uni
versity Gymnasium, and Joseph z.
Raycroft, member of the War and
Navy Departments Commission on
Training Camp Activities.
Economic Disaster"
In discussing this new EFFORT OF the
Security League, S. Stanwood Menken,
president of the league, said:
1.-THE National Security League has
taken up this work because the coun-
try cannot afford without serious eco
nomic disaster to lose the benefit Of
the service of nearly one-third Of the
men who are drafted for military duty
because Of physical unfitness and
whose places must be taken by those
who have dependents. The draft fig
ures show that % per cent of the
men are physically unfit. The work is
necessary, as. with the strain upon
American brain, it is essential that
public attention be focused upon the
need of paying also due regard to
physical safety. The efficiency of the
human engine and the ability OF the
man-power of the nation to Withstand
attrition, and the extra work that the
men who are doing things have to
bear at present, makes it important
that these men should recognize the
part that physical exercise plays in
their ability to bear their full load Of
work.
