ARRANGING FOR
DRAFT EXTENSION
Age Limits For Proposed New
Law Not Yet Fully De-
termined

Washington, Aug. .. Chairman
Chamberlain " the senate military
committee, expected back in the city
from a vacation today. was to see
Secretary Baker early as to draft ex-
tension plans.
Bakers program, already presented
to Chairman Dent of the house COM
mittee, is understood to contemplate a
request of congress for extension from
10 or 20 years up TO S5 or SO years.
Provided the lower limit is set at 10
or 20 years there will be likely a de-
termined effort in congress to make
it 90. As for the upper limit it APP
pears there will be an effort to extend
it to at least 40, though it is by no
means certain that congress finally
will do other than the war department
asks. The sole announcement from
Secretary Baker on the subject is that
his proposal does not run 10 to 40 and
that he viii present his plans to con
gress next week so that committees can
start work before the full membership
returns.
In this connection there was some
tendency here today to be critical of
the fact that congress still stays on
its vacation.

Major Hall Returns
From Staff Meeting

Mai. A. A. Hall as member of the
general staff, is home from Portland
where meeting of the general staff
was held yesterday in which there was
a general discussion of the activities
of the Oregon national guard.
A definite policy was established
which provides for at least one regiment
of Oregon national guard. This will
give men between the ages of 81 and
40 years an opportunity to serve with
their own Officers and with their own
friends, provided of course, the COM
panv is federalized before the draft
number of its members are reached.
The plans discussed yesterday by
the general staff provides for an Ore
gon national guard that may see service
in the United States, Alaska, the Phil
ippine Islands or the Hawaiian Islands,
or in service at the U. S. border. The
federal government however reserves
the right to send the company over
seas.
Lieutenant Colonel A. T. Woolpert,
by an order issued yesterday, has been
made disbursing officer for all Ore
gon guard troops in Marion and Polk
counties and has been placed in COM
mand of the armory at Salem.

attitude, inasmueh as the United States
has not yet spoken regarding the Paris
resolutions.
"Lloyd>Gco has gone far toward
giving what we have been asking for
two years." said the Mail.
"He (Lloyd-George) has swept aside
the fears of business men that the con-
troll to which they are now subjected is
to be pcrpetuated, the Express said.
"There are good reasons why it is
not yet possible for the government
to announce a hard and fast policy, -
the Graphic declared, "chief among
them being that the United States was
not a party to the Paris conference. II
is essential that the United States
should be in perfect agreement. Lloyd
George observed that America has not
pressed its views. If they have not
been expressed officially they have
been expressed unequivocally in Presi-
dent Wilson'S speeches. He has preach
ed both as a neutral and as belliger-
ent, that the war should be fought, II
need be, to finish, but that it should
be finished when it is fought
"We doubt if President Wilson
views the question from the same angle
as does Premier Lloyd-George, y said
tile Chronicle. "Americans attach inn
portanee to the economic weapon, but
they do not want to see it welded for
a vindictive purpose"
"masmuch as America has not spok-

win be impossible to find a policy fav-
orable to America" says the rele-
graph.

Geneva, Aug. 2-The Marne offens-

eided impression in Germany, accord
ing to travellers arriving at Basle and

These persons state that Bavaria and
Saxony are deeply concerned because
it was troops from those sections of
the German empire which lost most
heavily.
General Won LOringhoven, writing in

"While American intervention is a

exaggerated by half, but they were

Canby-New Era Road
Is Popular Highway

One of the most popular pieces OF
road between Hubbard and Oregon
City is that stretch just finished be-
tween Candy and New Era-a mighty
good piece Of hard surfacing-the kind
the Pacific Highway will have all the
way when completed. The road is ap-
preciated because it is good and again
because it replaces a rough stretch
and the narrow and rough hill south
Of New Era. There is curve in this
hill, however, that would make driving
much safer especially at night, if at
this curve the hill had been cut down
so a better view of the road ahead
could be had, as it is there is good
chance of going over the grade when
meeting cars at this place at night.
