BAKER TO CHANGE
DRAFT AGE LIMITS
EXTENSION BELOW q AND ABOVE
81, PROBABLY TO RANGE FROM
10 TO 40.

With American troops in France al
ready apparently turning the scales
against Germany, there is far-reach-
ing Importance TO information re-
vealed by Secretary of War Baker
yesterday regarding the development
of the governments new and enlarg-
ed army program TO bring out the
maximum fighting strength of the
country. The new plan is destined
TO bring into being and rally to the
colors the forces counted upon to In.
sure and clinch ultimate victory. 1t
means the mobilization of the great
reservoir of American man power
which is to complete the work which
the vanguard OF American troops is
now doing. |fVwyWy
This newly enlarged military plan
was not discussed In detail by Mr.
Baker, and indeed was only referred
to by him in response to inquiry.
To Extend Draft Age Limits.
But the few persons including
members of the Senate military af.
fairs committee, who knew upon what
lines the government has been map
ping out this work. fully realize that
it ushers in the nations greatest and
surest guarantee of victory.
Mr.. Baker said yesterday that the
new plan involved an extension of
the draft age limits so that questions
may now be considered as settled.
There will be extensions below 81
and above 81. The plan will be pre-
scented to Congress after both houses
reconvene late next month. There is
no doubt that Congress will willingly
agree to the age extensions and the
question OF age limits will doubtless
rest with Secretary Baker. He said
yesterday that he had not yet def
nitely made up his mind what he
thought these limits should be.
19 to 40 Limits Suggested.
1T is regarded as very likely that
men over 10 will be reached and that
men under 40 will certainly be taken,
though nothing definite can be said
until the announcement comes from
the War Department

Shooting Affair Late.
Around IL o'clock a shooting affair
in the west end caused much commo-
ton and resulted in the arrest of two
men. It seems as though negro
named Clarence Parsons had been
talking with a colored woman known
as Emma Osbury, and shat the man
drew knife and cut the woman on

man residing on North Charles st,

Officers hurriedly went to the street
and arrested the negro who did the

was not at fault. Officers then ar

to await hearing.

Kearns, after being locked up, flI-
ed the atmosphere around his cell
with oaths, and when taken from the
cell to an automobile to be conveyed
to the Jail, repeatedly cursed the
policeman. Pedestrians and the crowd
that fiocked around the city hall

This morning the man was taken
before Justice Wolf, where he was
released. He was apparently sober

freed.
