tarv Committee today decided 10 oppose

nection with the amendments To the pend
ing army appropriation bill Of Senators
Fall, Of New MEXICO, and Hitchcock Of
Nebraska, which respectively. proposed
making the age limits 20 TO 40 instead Of
21 to 81
When the War Departments enlarged

committee. which virtually IS a unit IN
favor later of extending the draft age
limits, also plans to prescribe by !egls!a-
ti0n regulations regarding the 5lassee q
men who shall work Or fight. such regula-
tions, il was said. probably would extend
the work or fight principle.
No definite figures on the enlarged
program we're presented.

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska gave
figures stating that in August, when the
final call on men IN class one viii have
exhausted that class, there will be 3. 800
900 men in the army and thar the highest
estimate of the number of American
troops which will be in France by that
time is .45O, 900.
It is impossible at present the officials
said, to give any accurate estimates, but
the government proposes TO exert It's
maximum power IN the war. Studies are
being made Of the problems Of training,
clothing, transporting anu feedlng men.

colors az can be trained, equipped and
transported.
When the Senate re-convened and re-
sumed consideration Of the army bill
Senator Chamberlain formally outlined
the statements given by Secretary Baker
General March and Major General
Crowder.
No CHANGE TILL SEPTEMBER
Both the SECRETARY and General
March are OF the opinion, said Mr.
Chamberlain, that no change ought 20 be
made n the age iIinlts AT TINS time heX
say that IN order to have proper considera-
tion Of what the limits should be. . com
pletc investigation ought to be made Of
the number Of men now subject 10 the
draft, the number OF men that can be
transported to France and the shipping
available. They say that no harm can be
done or no delay 0ccasioned BY postpone
ment of changing the ages until Septem-
Der and they very much advise against a
change until this investigation can be had
The committee has advised that troops
now are being sent over partly in French
and British bottoms and that there may
be some changes n THAI arrangement

continue or more American tonnage viii be
