NO CHANGES TO Be
MADE IN DRAFT AGES
War Department Will Submit
New and Enlarged Army Pro-
gram for Consideration.

Washington, June 27.-After Sec
retary Baker and General March,
chief of staff, had opposed revision
of draft age limits and announced that
within 60 or 80 days the war depart
ment would submit to congress a new
and enlarged army program, the SEN
oppose any legislation to change the
draft ages.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
gave figures stating that in August,
when the final call on men in Glass
One will have exhausted that class,
there will be 100000 men in the
army and that the highest estimate
of the number of American troops
which will be in France by that time is
l 100000.
Secretary Baker, General March and
General Crowder, it was stated, all
opposed the amendment by Senator
Johnson of California, proposing that
in future draft calls, states which have
already furnished by volunteer enlist
ments an excess over their quotas,
shall be given credit for such excess.
Senator johnson was satisfied with
the statement that the present sys-
tenn without credits is fairest and
planned not to press his amendments.
Secretary Baker and General March,
| informed the committee that they op-
posed as premature and unnecessary
the proposed extension of the army
draft age limits.
Crowder Explains View.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
whose approval of the extension has
been cited by advocates of the change
in the senate, also appeared before the
committee to say that while he was
not insistent upon immediate legis-
lation, he thought action should be
taken in time to secure new regis
trants under the revised age limits
early next year.
| In asking that the draft legisla-
tion go over for the present. Secre.
tary Baker and General March said
that within go or 80 days, probably
about the middle of August, after the
proposed recess Of congress, the ad-
ministration will submit a new COM
prehensive army program, covering
not only the number of men it is pro
posed to raise, but also dealing with
shipping and other problems.
Secretary Baker said an "enlarged'
program for the army is planned in
a formal statement made after he had
been closeted with the committee fol-
nearly three hours with his aides.
Enough Men for Present.
T presented to the committee state
ments," said Mr.. Baker, "that for the
present there are enough men in Glass
One sufficient for our prospective
needs and when the enlarged program
of the United States is ready fol
presentation to congress we will at the
same time have complete data or
which to base any recommendations
for change in the age limits OF the
draft.
After the conference with Secretary
Baker and his aides the military COM
mittee decided to follow their recon-
mendations and to oppose any legis
lation at this time changing the draft
age limit.

ing the drive and afterwards Fate
this: Suppose one invests in them dur
comes along in the guise of sickness or
some other calamity and money must
be found. By giving ten days. notice
at any postoffice the holder of war
savings certificate may receive the
original sum of his investment back,
plus three per cent interest for the
time between investment and with
drawal.
Of course, every genuine patriotic
American is going to regard his war
savings certificate as a sacred pledge
to stand fast by the soldiers no mat
ter how ones personal needs may
pinch.
These facts should be considered by
every loyal American and when the
campaign opens pencils and fountain
pens should be waiting to write the
word that links each subscriber in
partnership with the government.
Places to Register.
The people of Glasgow living on
the south side will register at the
court house and on the north side al
the Glasgow high school, instead OF
the Methodist church as previously
announced.
Seek Pledges Only.
Hundreds of persons apparently de
not understand that we are not try
ing to dispose of the entire allotment
of stamps at this time," said Chair
man Arnot. "Our object is to get tn,
entire amount pledged at this time
and then we will have the balance O.

WAR SUMMARY.

American troops have again
taken the offensive northwest of
Choteu Thierry, where they have
already written glorious chap
ter in the story yof American par
ticipation in the war. The oper-
alton in which the Americans
were engaged in mentioned but
briefly in the daily communique
of the French war office, but it
would seem to indicate that the
Americans have been in quite a
notable engagement.
Baron Won Seydier, the Aus
trian premier, has declined to
continue in office and ofrm a new
cabinet. 1t is reported that Bar
on Banhans, minister of railways
in the Won Seydler cabinet will
receive the appointment. The
Austrian parliament, which was
dissolved when the economic sit
uation became critical in that
country, may be convoked, it is be
lieved, with a restricted program
for it's proceedings.
Now that the Piave line is
again intact, the Italians have be-
gun operations on the mountain
front looking to the further i'm
provement of the positions there.
On the northwestern slopes of
Monte Craps. between the Bren-
ia and the Piave the Italians have
gained considerable ground and
taken more prisoners.
The Italian gain on Monte
Grappa is most important as the
mountain is the key position to
theterrain between the Brenta and
the Piave and dominates the hills
southwark to the Venetian plain.
It was on this height that the
Austrians met with failure to
their attempts ten days ago to
reach the plain from the north.
German soldiers on the French
front are reported as being de-
pressed over the Austrian defeat
and it is held in some allied quar-
ters that Germany may make a
strong effort almost Immediately
in order to keep up the German
and Austrian morals.
The official view in Washington
is that Foreign Secretary Won
Kuchlmann's speech was a peace
move and that Germany now in
vites proposals from the entente.

to the amount of guns and ammuni-
tion needed. We must make all the
shells we can and use them up as
quick as possible at the most advan-
tageous point in the battle line. 1t is
for this reason that the whole Ameri-
can nation must now become part of
one great war machine. Our duty is
plain and it must be viewed as prin-
ciple, not sentiment.
eve must give our all, not because
the government can demand it of us,
but because to do so is right. We
must learn our lessons instead of cry
ing over them. Had we done this be-
fore we should not now be sweating
over fundamentals in the school of ad-
versity. We must take up the burden
apportioned us, and remember that
any one who now employs labor or
consumes material in competition with
the government is an ally of the en-
emy."
Price of Certificate.
The surest way Of avoiding even the
temptation of competing with the gov
ernment is for each person to invest in
war saving certificates to the limit of
ones ability and to the limit of the
amount allowed by law-which is
81 900 for each person.
In June, 1918, the price of a wal
savings certificate or stamp is SALT
If this certificate is held until 1923 the
government will pay back SIS for the
certificate.

COUNTY AGENT STEBBINS
ISSUES COMMUNICATION

The following statements has been
issued by County Agricultural Agent
M. E. Stebbins:
"There is on hand, at the county
agents office, large quantity of
gopher poison to be given free to Ger
tain farmers of this county.
"This poison is furnished by the
United States government, and is CIV
en- free to farmers having government
land next to their own that has not
yet been filed on. The law requires
everyone to poison his own land, and in
fact entities him to this free poison,
as he is supposed to have obeyed the
law If he wants the poisoned oats
they will be given him free, but he is
then required to put it out. He will
not be paid for this work, as he gets
this poison free and is expected to
contribute his labor in protecting his
own crops from the gophers.
"This requirement is reasonable,
and is one of the forms of food con-
servation urged by the government at
this critical time. By protecting our
growing crops we are saving from
the enemy of our fields, here at home,
food that will eventually nourish our
soldiers abroad; fighting for the right
to be decent. They have been sent
thousands of miles away to fight for
this right, while all the farmer is
asked to do, in this particular case
is to protect the borders of his far
in order that our boys in that far
country shall have food to enable
them to fight the good fight.
$50, every farmer has already poi.
soned his land, and who has opened
government land, or Indian land next
to him, is requested to come 70 the
county agents office and receive free
government poison under the condi.
tions stated above"
