Defeats Fall Amendment to Army
Bill Extending the Draft
Age.
BAKER WINS HIS CASE
Recent Statement of Army Heads
That Large Army Program VIII
Be Ready in September
Is Accepted.

Washington, July 1.-The Senate
killed the Fall amendment to the
army bin, increasing the draft ages
to 20 to 40, thus deferring to the war
departments request. The vote was
49 to % against the amendment
Senators accepted the recent state
ment of the Secretary of War. Chief
Of Staff and Provost Marshal that a
large army program would b SUBJ
mitted in September, and the infer
ence was that at that time the ex
tension would be recommended
However, before the Senate cast
this vote, it refused, by viva voce
vote, Senator Hardwick's amendment
to prevent men under 21 years being
used as soldiers. Many senators took
this as an unexpected indication that
the Senate would not actually op-
pose lowering the draft age. A some
what similar amendment by Senator
Sterling of North Dakota, providing
that youths under 21 should not be
called except for training purposes,
was likewise defeated on a viva voce
vote.
Universal Training Fails.
Senator New of Indiana threw his
amendment for universal military
training for boys from 20 to 21 into
the arena. This also was defeated,
but not until Senator Warren OF
Wyoming, father-in-law of General
Pershing, had said the new amend
ment would cloud the issue, because;
1--WE should not enact a law and
have TO follow it with another, and
we should get the best actual fighting
army possible and that is formed OF
men of IS to As.
"There is no use to handle this
matterwi tn kid gloves We must stop
trifiing. The differences of opinion
here show we are not ready to deal
with the matter. Let's settle it later
with a wide age limit"
President May Favor.
A report spread about the Capitol
that the President would favor uni
versal military training when the en-
larged army program was presented,
but this could not be confirmed. This,
however, supporters of the new amend
ment said, had no effect upon the
vote on their measure.
An attempt was made by Senator
Brandegee to set the age limits at
Is to 40.
"Why not vote now and stabilize
the matter" he said. "The men need
not be drawn
The Brandegee amendment was lost

Assaults at Two Points.

Amsterdam, July 1.-GeTmany Is

at the Allies, according to General
Won Liebert, who commanded the
Germans at Lodz in the Russian cam
paign. In the same interview pub
lished in the Taglische Rundschau,
Won Liebert referred to the Austrian
offensive as painful failure"
London, July 1.-The proposed
German drive toward Paris or the
Channel ports has been anticipated
by the British troops in Flanders and
the French forces farther south, for
they have struck first.
The Allied troops caught the enemy
unawares at several points and driv-
ing swiftly forward took terrain,
which would have been of consider
able value as the starting point of
enemy attacks. In addition, about
1,400 prisoners and several machine
guns were left in the hands of the
Allied troops.
British Advance Nearly Mile.
The atatck of the British was deliv-
cred about midway between Haze
brouck and Bethune, on a front of
nearly three and a half miles over
territory which the Germans recently
have been deluging with shells.
Altogether the attack was produc-
tive of an average gain of ground to
a depth of nearly mile and included
the taking of several small hamlets.
1t Is not improbf BILE that the Ger.
r1ans, in a proposed offensive in this
region, had set their hearts on the
line running thence to Calais and
Dunkirk.
French Gain More Than Mile.
The stroke of the French troops was
over a still greater front-four and a
half miles-and they at points also
penetrated enemy positions to a
goodly depth. at some points a mile
ard a quarter. The evident intention
was further to block the gateway 10

100000 a month, the number of Am
erican troops sent to France.
Between March 21, the day the
German drive began against the Brit
ish, to June q, the day when the
German drive against the French and
Italians ended, the Allies lost in pris-

ued. "All of these came from the for.

Allies and United States Called Tardy
The Allies, including the United
States, are "tardy, inefficient follow
ers" of Germany in the development
and use of big guns and other mod
