House Still Considers.

Consideration OF the Senate amend
ments to the bill was not completed
by the House yesterday. When all of
them have been voted on the measure
will be returned to conference, where
efforts will be made to compose the
differences between the two houses
Representative Padgett, chairman of
the House naval committee, told the
House that the establishment of the
nitrate plant at Indian Head, will de.
crease the importations of nitrate
from Chile and that the submarine
base at Key West Is necessary, as
there now is no base for the UNDER
water-craft south Of Norfolk
The proposal to increase the man
power OF the navy met with no op-
position and was passed yesterday
without q record vote.
Chairman Padgett. who recently has
been accused OF opposing a large per-
manent Navy. supported the increase
and pointed out that Secretary Dam
fels, Admiral Benson. chief Of opera
tiens, and Rear Admiral Palmer, chief
of the bureau OF navigation, regard
ed 1t as necessary for the manning Of
the many warships which will be
turned out during the next twelve
months.

100000 TO Be ARMED
BY u. S. BY JANUARY |
War Department Will Not Oppose
Plan to Extend Draft Age
at Both Limits. ,

Should Congress decide that it is
necessary at this time to axtend the
draft age limits either below twenty
one or above thirty. or both. no op-
position. will be offered by the War
Department.
In authorizing this statement yester-
day Secretary Baker said the depart
ment could see no immediate need for
such action, although the date already
is in sight when it will become neces-
sary to replenfsh the class 1 reservoir.
A bill by Senator France of Mary
land. to extend the draft to men from
eighteen to forty-hve is now before
the Senate military committee, and at
a hearing on 1t last Saturday. Provost
Marshal General Crowder gave 1t as
his opinion that extension OF the
draft ages would be necessary. He
told the committee that 100000 men
would be under arms by August !, and
that class l would be exhausted by
the first Of next year.
4,OOO, 900 by January 1.
The present tentative schedule of
the War Department Is said to con-
template the arning OF 100000 men
by next January /. That would mean
the calling Of 100000 men between
July and January and the absorbing
not only Of the men remaining in
class / from the first registration, but
those placed In that class under the
recent registration, as well as some
100000 expected to be put in that
class as the result OF the reclassifica.
tion recently ordered.
ALI previous estimates of the de-
partment relating to man power have
been based solely upon the men in
class l, Gen. Crowder stating specific
ally In his report on the first draft
that It would be the policy Of his de-
partment to refrain from touching
the other classes. The present emer-
gency, however. with ita resultant de-
mands for the speedy organisation OF
forces far In excess OF the number
contemplated. has upset these deci-
clarsd that the differunce between
members Of class / ana class 2, from
the viewpoint Of eligibility tor serv-
ice, WAS too minute u be seriously
considered. The invasios OF this class,
1t 10 said, would not Eject the eco
nomic machinery OF the nation to any
J disastrous degree.

Barnett Is Defended.

Gen. Barnett, who was a spectator
in the House gallery during most of
the debate, was defended by Repre-
sentatives Flood Of Virginia. demo-
crat, and Britten of Illinois and
Meeker Of Missouri. republicans. Mr.
Flood denied that the general had
pleaded with any member of Con-
gress for a measure that would benefit
him." while Mr.. Britten said the gen.
eral had not sought personal promo
tion, but Increased rank fer the men
under him.
Secretary Daniels also came to the
defense Of Gen. Barnett. In q state

Rank Raise for Head of Ma

Refused.
BARNETT is DEFENDED

Permanent Navy strength Of 49,
4s5 men. instead Of $1,000, was voted
by the House yesterday.
Proposal to raise the rank Of the
commandant Of the Marine Corps from
major general to lieutenant general
and three star officers to major gen.
erals was defeated. 10 to ~.
These votes were taken during con-
sideration OF Senate amendments to
the $1.soo. 100000 naval appropriation
bill.
The Senate amendments for Ss,l5o,-
600 for establishment OF a nitrate
plant at Indian Head and $1,000. 900
for a submarine base at Key West.
Fla. were also accepted.
Rank Raise Opposed.
Spirited debate was provoked by the
proposal to raise the rank of the
Marine Corps stan officers. and the
attitude of the House was plainly ex-
pressed as in favor OF giving all pos
sfble promotion to those who go out
and do the fishting &. but not to rock

Representative Butler of Pennsyl-
vania, republican, whose son is
colonel In the corps. said propaganda
had been conducted to cause the pro.
motions, while Representative Keat-
ing Of Colorado, democrat, charged
that Maj. Gen. Barnett. the corps
comnandant. started a campaign for
the new law as soon as the naval
bill was sent to the Senate, in spite
Of Secretary DanielS known Oppose
tion to the amendment.
The amendment, in effect, il to
give rank Of lieutenant general to a
man who never was under nre, 50 far
as the records show" declared Mr.
keating. There has been a lobby
by men directly concerned in this
amendment strong enough to war
rant the President to order a court
martial.

over the top in France who are
asking for this amendment. 1 am in

Effort Before Our Men Gould
Reach Ally Side With Help

Washington. March 25,--British
and French officials are still jubtlant
over the fact that Germany has taken
the offensive the allies iij They ex-
plain II on two grounds;
/. Either the German military
leaders have determined that their
machine can no longer be kept At
If it stands still. or.
2. That economic and political con-
6itions within the central empires de-
mand an immediate victory or a conn.,
promise peace In which Germany
would be forced to dlsgorge all her
conQuests.
At the state department no opinion
was ventured as to what conditions
prompted the German offensive. Of
ficials seem less and less inclined to
put faith In reported schisms within
Germany and Austria. Most officials
believe that Germany attacked be-
cause she thinks she can win. OF
this e. British diplomat said today:
! OF course, IL they win, all their
sacrifices of men will be justified from
their point of view. But II they
| faii-and there Is no sign now but
that they have faiied--they have lost
a tremendous stake. They have shat
tered the efficiency OF their machine
more efrectually than II they had le,
1t stand still until we were ready to
attack.
There is no doubt of food strin-
gency In Germany. Everything in
dicates that Germany found bare
cupboard in Ukraine and Russia
ut must also be remembered that
an Austrian railroad strike is report
! ed. That this may be the small out
ward sign of widespread and grave
internal conditions seems to be borne
| out by the advertised beginnings OF
ian Apstrian offensive against Italy
ISucf an offensive is probably planned
as much to keep Austria internally
quiet as for any result that may be
hoped for against the shortened and
thickened Italian line.
Perhaps nothing hurried On the
Germans so much as the evideNr'e o.
the determination OF the United States
to get It's forces to Europe. This de-
Examinations latest proof was in the

they could hold their lines I'm other
