Baker Expected Soon to Urge Bill Fix
ing 18 to as Limit.
Washington, June ls.-The proposal
to extend the draft age limit to men
between the ages of IS and As is gain
ing support in the war department.
There were strong indications that
Secretary Of War Baker will recon-
mcned the enactment OF legislation to
bring about this change.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has made a report to Secretary Baker
containing information in line with
that he gave before the senate COM
mittee in advocacy Of extending the
draft ages.
General Crowder has reported that
present calls for man power will ex-
haust class l of the draft age before
many months have passed. Unless the
draft ages are extended it will be nee
essary to draw men from class 2, which
includes many married men and men
needed in industry.
1t is more just. General Crowder be-
iieves, to bring in men over the age Of
81, classifying them as to their degree
OF indispensability in industry and az
to the degree which wives and children
are dependent on them exactly as men
between the ages Of 81 and 81 have
been classified.
There are many bachelors between
the ages of 81 and As, men without
any dependents. and war department
officials believe there is in the class a
larger number Of men Of independent
means who could be called to military
service without bringing want to de-
pendfnts than within the ages now sub.
ject Is draft.

Iowa Aviator Definitely Reported as

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 19.-That Capt.
James Norman Hall OF the American
aviation forces in France is now in a
German prison camp was the news
conveyed to his parents in a cable
gram from the International Red
Cross which reached his home at Col
fax, Tuesday.
The cablegram said: Capt James
Norman Hall in list from Berlin June

1t will be remembered that Hail. who
is one Of the most brilliant aviators in
the overseas force, was forced to de-
scend back Of the German lines some
weeks ago. 1t was thought at the time
that he. twas not seriously injured.
Later press dispatches conveyed the
news that he was in German hospital
slightly injured. No definite word was
received by his parents, however, un-
til the cablegram of Tuesday.
Hall evidently has recovered from
his injuries sufficiently to be taken
from the hospital to a prison camp

CANNING FOR HOME USE.
Preserved Fruits Can Not Be Sent :.
Soldiers.

Fatriotlc housewives thruout the
country have been offering to organize
workers IN their vicinity to supply SOL
dlers and sailors with fruit preserved
at nome. This splendid spirit ia ex.
tremely praiseworthy, food administra !.
tion ofhcjals say, and it can be turned
into channels that will do as much for
our armed forces and the allies as tho
1t had provided them with millions of
cans or jars of home preserved food.
Attic the American housewife ia
urged to can or preserve every onnce
OF fruit or vegetables she can possiblv
lay her hands on. as patriotic food
conservation measure. her product
must be reserved for civilian use,
Home canned and preserved goods can
not be purchased or accepted as gifts
for the army or navy, Food Admin
istrator Deems has announced.
| No governmental department is per-
United to accept any article without
paying for it. However. even if home
preserved foods could legally be-
bought. their purchase would be i'm
possible because of the difficulty ac-
ceptance of small lots would entail in
the way of inspection. Supplies of this
kind must be purchased in reasonably
large units and must be uniform both
as to the ingredients and containers.
With shipping space precious this uni
| formity is doubly important, in order
| that the greatest possible quantity NAV
be packed in a given space and that
the keeping quality of goods may in
sure their arrival in good condition.
However, every additional million
jars or cans that are filled by house,
wives for home use will release an
Identical quantity of commercially
canned goods for export. There will
also be saved the labor, space on
freight cars and cost of transportation
that would amount up if factory-pre.
served foods had to be sent broad
cast thruout the country, instead of
being shipped in large blocks to can
tonments or abroad. Housewives will
be able to use containers already in
their possession. thus relieving the de-
mand for cans at time Of shortage
OF tin.
Rumors have been afloat that the
army is providing cans to canning
clubs. This is denied by the food ad-
ADMINISTRATION. Wh.4h assists both army
and navy in buying their commissary
supplies. Patriotic citizens of Texas
recently asked that they be allotted
cans. to be filled for the army, and in
Mississippi a similar patriotic cam
paign was proposed, BY canning for
home consumption these communities
will help the boys over there" just as
much as tho they were sending the
food directly to the soldiers.

Des Molnes. June 1s.--Reports to
state fuel authorities indicate that coal
shipments into Iowa from fields outside
the state will fall woefully short Of the
estimate and that the dependence Of
Iowa upon its own coal fields is actual
ly greater than was first supposed.
State Fue, Administrator Charles
Webster Is out with statement that a
survey Of the Illinois field shows that
the mines in that state are ninety days
behind in orders. Dealers in Iowa re-
port that despite their orders for NIL
nois coal being placed early. they have
been unable to get shipments and that
the outlook for later transportation in
to Iowa is not bright. ]. l.. Bailey.
chairman Of the fuel committee at C.ed-

looking up fuel conditions and has re-
ported to his community that the car

when the grain crop begins to move
there will be slight chance to secure
coal transportation into Iowa. His
community is located In that zone
where Iowa and illinois coal are both
distributed.

Trade conditions in other nearby coal
producing states lead Iowa fuel author
tiles to realize the big burden of Iowa
mines and the necessity OF a greater
drive for summer production. The coal
operators Of Iowa are determined to
keep Iowa free from fuel famine but
they readily see that summer produce
ton alone will accomplish that end.

Wilson Takes Full
Control Of Labor
in War Industries
tRy the Associated press. !

Washington, June 19.-All employers
engaged in war work were urged in a
statement by President Wilson to re-
frain after Aug. from recruiting un-
skilled labor In any manner. except
thru the United States employment
service recently organized by the de-
partment of labor.
The labor forces were called upon by
the president ito respond loyalty As
heretofore to any calls issued by this
agency for voluntary enlistment in
essential industry.
The presidents statement follows:
For more than a year 1t has been
our pride that, not our armies and
navies only, but our whole people Is
engaged in o righteous war.
We have eaid repeatedly that In
dustry plays as essential and honor.
able role in this great struggle as do
our military ornaments.
Nation Must Support Il.
I'VE all recognize the truth Of this.
but We must also see it's necessary ap-
phcation-namely. that industry, doing
vital task for the nation, must re-
ceive the support and assistance Of the
nation.
We must recognize that II is a
natural demand-almosta right Of any
one serving his country. whether en-
ployer or ernploye--to know that his
services is being USED In the most eff
fect.ve manner possible. In the case
OF labor this wholesome desire has
been not little thwarted owing to the
changed conditions which war has
created in the labor market.
There has been much confusion as
to essential products. There has been
Ignorance Of conditions-men have
gone hundreds OF miles in search of q
job and wages which they might have
found at their doors.
Work At Cross Purposes.
Employers holding government con-
tracts Of the highest Importance have
competed for workers with holders of
similar contracts. and even with the
government itself. and-have conducted
expensive campaigns for recruiting
labor In sections where the supply OF
labor was already exhausted.
California draws it's unsl1ilaed labor
from as far east as Buffalo. and New
York from as far west as the Missis-
sippi
Thus labor has been induced to
move fruitlessly from one place to an
other, congesting the railways and
losing both time and money.
Such a condition is unfair, alike, to
employer and employe. but most of all
to the nation itself, whose existence Is
threatened by any decrease ir. its pro-
ductive power.
4 Central Control Necessary.
1T is obvious that this situation
can be clarified and equalized by a
central agenoy-the United States En-
ployment Service OF the department OF
labor, with the counsel of the war
labor policies board as the voice Of all
the industrial agencies Of the govern
mentr
