Washington.-Boy from IS TO 10
years who will be made liable to mill
tary service in the new man-powor
bill will be taken last, Secretary OF
War Baker told the House milit; ry
affairs committee Monday. There
would be no objection, said the secre-
tary, to putting the men OF the lS-
year-old class in a separate classifi-
cation, to be called ''as far as prac-
ticable" only after the older classes
have been exhausted. He explained
that Provost Marshal General Crow
der is now preparing regulations that
will put the men from 10 TO 3G in sepa-
rate classes which will be subject to
the first call.
No general exemption of married
men simply because of their married
status, is contemplated by the War
Department in preparing for the pro
posed extension of draft ages, Secre-
tary Baker declared.
Mr.. Baker said his previous remarks
on this subject had been miscon-
strued and that married men who do
not support lnelT ldHlllleb ana wiz
are not engaged in useful occupations
will continue to be called.
There are many married men in
the country who ought to go and fight
as freely as single men," he added.
Extension of the American draft
ages from Is to 40 is designed to win
the war for the allies within the next
twelve months. Success is practically
a certainty"
Eighteen states were called upon by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
Monday to furnish 5,709 white draft
registrants of grammar school educa-
ton fit for general military service.
The men will entrain Sept. !. Volun-
tary enlistments will be accepted un-
til Aug. &c.
All of these men will be sent TO
schools or training centers for instruc-
tion in special lines OF services for
which they are wanted.
