DRAFT ACES To
Be FROM IS TO IS
SECRETARY BAKER AND MILL
TARY AUTHORITIES HAVE
AGREED UPON BILL TO BE SUB
MITTED TO CONGRESS SOON.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-Plans
of the war department for an enlarg,
ed military program included extern
sion of the draft age limits in both
directions have been virtually COM
pIeted, Secretary Baker announced
today. He anticipates that the war
department bill will be introduced in
congress next week enabling the mil
itary committees to begin considera-
ton without delay.
Mr.. Baker would not reveal the age
limits to be recommended by the de-
partment. He said, however, that
published reports that the limits
>7eIe to Re set at from 10 to 40 years
were incorrect. The 10 to 40 year
suggestion was among those consid-
cred and rejected, he added.
Inc age limits most generally dis
lussed heretofore as being the most
acceptable To the war department
were 10 10 SO, inclusive, but Mr. Ba-
ker would not give any intimation
that these had been accepted.
TIL plan was discussed by Mr.. Ba-
kcr and Chairman Dent, of the house
military committee, today and will be
discussed with Chairman Chamber
lain. of the senate committee, when
the latter returns to the city, prob
ably tomorrow.
Mr.. Baker said he did not intend
to issue any statement explaining his
plans and that So far as the depart
ment was concerned presentation OF
the bill in congress would be the
only publicity given it. The purpose
of the extension of ages for draft
liability he said, was to provide an
adequate number of men in class one
to meet the enlarged army program
The secretary would not say, how
large a man power reservoir it was
desired to create.

Considerable excitement was occa-
9',ned at the intersection of Lee and
Taylor streets yesterday afternoon
when a truck passing along Lee street
became unmanageable and crashed
into the pavement there. There were
a number of children playing near
the scene of the affair, but fortunately
none of these were hurt, and as soon
as the truck could be stopped the
trouble was found and corrected.

TRAIN FOR SIX MONTHS
BEFORE GOING ABROAD
oBy ahe Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Only sea-
soned men, trained for at least six
months on American soil, are to be
seut to France under new program
worked out by the War Department.
Enlargement of several cantonments
to accommodate thousands of addi-
tional men is part of this plan. The
present practice of rushing troops
across with only three weeks or more
training is to be abolished now that
a fighting force OF considerable
strength has been placed in the Al
lied lines.
Until the first million men were
landed this Government demanded
speed above everything and men
were hustled across almost as soon
as they had been fitted out with uni
forms and equipment. No unseasoBed
men were placed IN the fighting line,
however. Military officers worked on
the theory that men can be trained
faster within the fighting zone than
at home !
With 100000 men ini France facil-
titles there are becoming more burden

SAYS COUNTRY PAPERS
ARE REAL HOME PAPERS

The city daily may give the tele-
graph news of the world in quicker
and better service, the mail-orier
house may occasionally undersell the
home merchant, the glory of the city's
lights may dazzle; but, at the end of
the week, home and home institu-
tons are best; so only one publica-
ton gives the news we most wish to-
know-the country paper"
SO says Charles MORGAN Harger in
writing on The Country Editor Of
Today" in a new book, "The Profes-
sion of Journalism edited by Prof.
Willard G. Bleyer, head of the depart
ment of journalism at The University
of Wisconsin
"The city journal is the paper of
the masses; the country weekly or
small daily is the paper of the neigh
borhood. One is general and imper-
sonal; the other direct and intimate.
One is the market-place; the other,
the home. The distinction is not soon
to be wiped out.
! The city business man throws away
his financial journal and his yellow
extra and tears open the pencil-ad-
dressed home paper that brings TO
him memories of new5mown hay and
fallow fields and boyhood. The coun-
try paper holds its readers with a
grip that the city editor may we'll
envy,
Instead of the big city journals
extending their sway to crash out
the country paper, it is more prob
able that the country papers will take
en- some of the city's air. and that,
with the added touch of personal IA
miliarity with the people and their
affairs, the country editor will be-
come a greater power than in the
past.
] Closest to the people, nearest to
their home life. its hopes and aspira-
lions, the country editor is at the
foundation of journalism

Much amusement has been furnish
ed by efforts of English and French

tional game. and now a Mexican wri-
ter has contributed his bit TO give us
another laugh. A few of the Mexi-
ing the States for the first time in
their lives went to ball game IN
New York. Baseball is known in
Mexico even less than in most other
Spanish4American countries. The
only national sport is pelota--a type
of handball-'but that is not generally
popular. witnessing the drama OF
the bull fight enacted by profession
ais is The only great pastime.
Jose Campos, new editor of Excel
sior, a large Mexico City daily, saw
| the game. Upon his return to the Nc
Alpin Hotel he wrote for the New
York Herald this description of it:
"A large game of baseball was eele-
brated this afternoon in the Polo
arena in the city of the Bronx, long
ride by train from New York city.
As is the custom in the United States
of North America. many of the bust
ness houses closed for the afternoon
so employees might attend the spec
ltacle.
'The pitcher for the New York
city troupe was very valiant and
charming. The baseball clothing is
not as pretty as that worn by the
torrero, but the players carry them
selves we'll. The game is played with
the hands, but is not like pelota in
any respect The object is to keep
/ the ball off the ground, and the troupe
which does so the longest wins the
game.
TN place of bull basebalg has an
umpire, a man who does not play the
game but who is authority of the
game. Unlike the Judge of the bull
fight he stands on the field. He is
not goaded with pixies, ibanderillas ard
finally the sword, as is the bull, but
is the recipient of abuse from both
the players and the multitude seated
in the huge arena. Instead of 'ano-

of speech which means that another
umpire is desired. The umpire is al
