Deferment for Youngest Men.

"I told the committee" said the
war Secretary, that no fixed policy
had been determined upon by the de-
partment, but that the purpose was
to allow the President to defer In
class one the call of the youngest men.
I have always considered. as you per
haps remember, that nineteen was the
preferable minimum, and l have come
TO the eighteen minimum only because
1t seems necessary to get the men.
Not that think men of eighteen
are necessarily too young. because
do not think that. I think that his
: tory shows that boys from eighteen
to nineteen are immensely valuable
as valuable, perhaps, as from nine
teen to twenty: but I think there is
q sentiment in the country which
will look with much more anxious
regard on the boys from eighteen to
nineteen than the boys from nine
teen to twenty.
Eighteen years seem to many peo-
PIE a more tender age than nineteen.
1t is for that reason that we are
thinking of making this preferential
deferment Of men from eighteen to
nineteen"
Senator's said that in urging speedy
enactment of the new man-power bill
Mr.. Baker had left to the judgment
of congressional leaders the question
of recalling the Senate in session be-
for the expiration of the recess pro-
gram, August 26. because the leaders
are more familiar with the legislative
program than is the Secretary.

Committee Complainant.

The discussion on the draft ages be-
fore the Senate committee, Mr.. Baker
said, followed much the lines taken
by Gen. March, chief of staff. and
I Provost Marshall General Crowder
The committee. he added, did not In
dictate any disposition to question the
necessity for the change. which Is
urged so that the War Department
can quickly secure the men necessary
to win the war.
There was some discussion" Mr..
Baker said, ''as to whether it was the
intention of the department to extend
classes of persons in various profess
sional occupations. I told them there
was no present change of the work or
Fl sht order in contemplation.
Il said that when 1 decided the
base ball case I thought perhaps
other forms of amusement and enter
tainment might require an extension
of the order to be on a parity with the
base ball situation. but that was not
in their mind.
They had heard from outside
sources that the department was con-
sidering bringing professional classes.
like lawyers. newspaper men and per-
sons who were not actually engaged
in producing war supplies, under the
order"
+ The committee, Mr.. Baker continued,
! was especially interested in the effect
of the extension of the draft age on
whether young men from eighteen up
would be drawn indiScrimlnately IN
, class one or placed in deferred class
by age and drawn later, giving them
some added months to come to ma
, turity.

Questions Would Deter

LETS OUT MARRIED MEN

New draft regulations under which
the government would do the select
ing rather than leaving it to the reg
istrant are under consideration by the
War Department.
This was disclosed yesterday after
noon by Secretary Baker after he had
appeared beforepthe Senate military
committee to urge prompt enactment
ofthe new selective service act extend
ing the age limits to include all men
between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five.
The War Secretary made 1t plain
that he is not satisfied with the pres
ent system under which the regis
trant must claim deferred classifca-
tion, as many men with dependents
hesitate for patriotic reasons to make
such a claim. In this connection MIR.
Baker said he was inclined to the
opinion that the marriage relation
will in itself constitute deferred classi-
fication.
What Mr.. Baker has in mind Is to
lay down a set of questions which the
registrant would answer and then
have rules which would take care of
tho classification. He Is understood
TO regard this the fair and equitable
system

ing the position that Christ held
in the ranks of men. to be above

Now wherever we have left any
thing dark we trust the reader
may ask, and give US the chance
OF filling in more evidence of a
Christ. It Is true that ali the
evidence that we have given Is
not considered the Bible, yet it
is in one sence.
We repeat at Autumn time we
see the cold sicle OF death thrust
into our view by the Christ.
For God said. This day have

The eye OF man beholds this faot
when the cold frosts come, we
see life fading away from of the
earth-Leaves begin to iall-Life
Is passing away and death is
reaping it's harvest.
Christ is executing his work in
death. This same executor
Christ that takes the garment
of life from off the s.earth, Can
and do bring about the spring
time. again-Brings to life the
grass that feed the horse and the
cow-Grows the grain in the
field that makes tho man his
bread That decks the forest
with the beautiful flowers to
please the eye and satisfy the
mind of the DELEGATE female.
In all this the Christ says Il

In conclusion we must repeat
the Governments OF Garth are

answer to the question will be-
seen by all of our readers that
the Christ is the executor of
Gods laws the savior of the
human families, and .has in the
