Senator Falls Amendment to
Army Measure Creates Much
Discussion.
DELAYS FINAL ACTION
Proposition Is Changed to Make Ages
20 to 40 and Provision That
Youths Under 21 Should Not Be
Eligible Is Eliminated.

Washington, June 27.-The Senate
discussed at length extension of the
draft ages above and below the exist
ing limits-2l to 81 years-during con-
sideration of Senator Falls amend
ment to the s12,000,000, 900 army ap-
preparation bill to substitute is years
as the minimum and as years as the
maximum ages.
During the discussion, the Senate
revised the amendment making the
ages 20 to 40 and eliminating provis-
ion that youths under 21 should not
be called into active military service.
Advocates of change in the draft
age limits declared that under the pre-
sent law it eoon would be necessary
to go into the deferred classes and
disrupt industry to provide men need
ed for the army. Senator Wadsworth
OF New York said Glass l would be
exhausted by November /, and Senator
Fall of New Mexico, insisted that an
other half million men could not be
called without touching the deferred
classes.
Sentiment Evenly Divided.
Disposal of the amendment and q
substitute by Senator Hitchcock OF
Nebraska, went over with sentiment
in the Senate apparently evenly divid-
ed
In the meantime some senators re-
gaTded it as probable that some ex-
preston might come from the admins.
tration, particularly in view OF report
circulated at the capitol that Presi-
dent Wilson opposes, for the present
at least, any change in the age limits,
and deplores agitation for their exten.
sion at this time.
The Fall amendment was vigorously
supported by Senator Chamberlain OF
Oregon, chairman of the Military com,
mittee. and Senators Fall, Wadsworth
of Newly ork, Cummings of Iowa, Reed
of Missouri and others.
Opposition was voiced by Senators
Thomas of Colorado; Nc Kellar OF
Tennessee, and Kirby of Arkansas, al
Democratic members of the military
committee, while several other senat
ors declared they favored raising the
maximum draft age. but opposed low
ering the minimum.

AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION lAGS
Continued Failure Is Disclosed BY

From members 1T is learned, that

No aircraft production adequate to the
needs of the rapidly growing army

Diaz Tightens Grip on Monte
Grappa and Captures 1890
More Prisoners.
IMPROVESKEY POSITION
River Piave Which Fell During Re-
treat of Enemy Again Rises Sud-
denly, Hampering Pursuit Of
Foe by italians.

London, June 27.-Now that the
Piave line is again intact, the Italians
have begun operations On the moul-
tain front looking to the further i'm
provement of the positions there. On
the northwestern slopes of Monte
Grappa, between the BTenta and the
Piave, the Italians have gained con-
siderable ground and taken more
more than 1900 prisoners.
Italian attacks on the mountain
front probably are for the purpose of
forestalling any intended enemy effort
there as well as to improve the Ital-
ian positions. Strong raids are being
carried out also on the Asiago plateau.
Key Position Improved.
The Italian gain on Monte Grappa
is most important as the mountain
Is the key position to the terrain be-
s tween the Brenta and the Piave and
dominates the hills southwark to the
Venetian plain. 1t was on this height
that the Austrians met with failure In
their last attempts to reach the plain
from the north.
In completing the recapture of the
western bank of the Piave the 4tal
fans added 1900 prisoners to the al
ready large number taken from the
enemy. While the sudden rise of the
river distressed the Austrians who
had crossed to the western bank the
river fell during the enemy retreat
but again has risen, hampering the
Italian pursuit on the eastern bank.
Italians Relax Pursuit.
Apparently the Italians have beer
content to hold the strong bridgeheads
on the eastern bank rather than tC
attempt to pursue the enemy any dis
tance eastward.
Vienna officially places the Italian
losses at 10000, including $4,000 pris
oners. II admits the retirement acros:
the Piave from Montello to the Adr
attic, but intimates that the Italians
did not press the retiring Austrian!
very closely In their efforts on the
mountain front, 1t is asserted, thu
Italians were repulsed completely.
Local Operations.
Local operations along the French
and British fronts are officially re
ported. Prisoners and machine gum
were taken by the Allies In thes'
which appear to have been no mor'
than outpost encounters.

State Department Demands I'M
mediate Explanation of Ia
briz incident.
WAR LOOMING NEARER
ernment to Give Favorable Re-
sponse Is Liable to Be Followed
by HostiIities.

Washington, June 27.--The United
States government has sent a virtual
ultimatum to Turkey demanding an
immediate and satisfactory explana-
tion of the incident at Tabriz, Persia.
There is strong reason to believe
that failure on the part of Turkey
to give favorable response will be fol-
lowed by a declaration of war on the
part of this nation.
The demand, the third sent to the
authorities in Constantinople since the
incident occurred, was forwarded by
Secretary of State Lansing through
the Swedish government
Sweden was bearer of one of the
two previous communications, and
Spain of the other. OF neither of these
previous messages has the Ottoman
government paid the slightest atten-
tion.
This message" declared an official
of the department, referring to this
latest demand, means business"
The offense for which an expana.
tion Is demanded is the action of
the Turks at Tabriz in sacking the
United States consulate there and
looting the United States hospital.
The United States demands to know
whether the Turkish government
avows responsibility for the outrage
or whether it was the outcome of ir-
racnpn cihla ro nhhinO f0llnuinp the
capture of Tabriz by the Turks.
Officials in the State department de-
clined to state what time limit, II
any, had been placed upon the demand
for an explanation by Turkey, but 1t
was plainly evident that the govern
ment is not disposed to wait more
than a few days.

Advice of Baker.

Washington, June 27.--After Secre-
tary ~ ID. Baker and General p. c.
March, chief Of staff, had opposed re-
vision of draft age limits and announc-
