No EXTENSION IN
THE DRAFT ACE
Present. Provision Satisfies
Military Requirements
Baker Says
MILLION NEW MEN
A YEAR is PLAN

WASHINGTON, June ii.-ln view Of
many reports that the War Department
was TO ask modification Of the drafi
law and extend the present age limit
Secretary OF War Baker has authorized
the statement that no such plan is un-
der consideration.
The present, provision for drafting
men between the ages Of q and 81 sat
isfles military requirements and there
Is no need whatever, 1t is explained, TO
look beyond these age limits now or in
the near future. Mr.. Baker would be
opposed to any proposition TO extend
the age limit at present for the reason
that he regards this as entirely unnec-
essary.
Il became known yesterday that the
treaty negotiated between the United
States, Great Britain and Canada re-
garding conscription and enlistment
provides for the drafting OF British sub
jects in the United States between the
ages Of 2i and 40.
This treaty, which must now be rati-
0ed by the Senate, was slightly modi-
ded to make draft laws more or less
uniform I'm all the countries involved,
and this led 70 reports that the United
States government contemplated rails
Ing the age limit TO 80 I'm order 10 con-
form to the British man power law,
which conscripts between the ages Of
Is and 30.
It Is explained at the War Department
that II raising the draft age at this
lime would hasten the winning OF the
war or serve a useful military purpose
shere would be no hesitancy in recon-
mending it.
The available man power between the
ages OF q and 81 has not been exhaust
I'd nor has the call TO the colors Of men
within these age limits reached a point
where 10 appears necessary to look be-
yond. Zach year brings upward Of
100000 new men 10 availability for
service by the fact that approximately
this humber becomes Of age annually.
It Is s1en known that the War De-
psrtment is disappointed in the results
Of the supplemental registration Tor
the Young men who have attained the
age Of 2i since the draft law was put
into operation. 10 was estimated that
something like 100000 would register
on June ;, but the total will scarceiy
exceed 6OO.0OO. returns now indicate.
And Of this number. at least 2OOOOO
will be exempted on account OF phys
ical disability or receive deferred clas-
sifcstion because Of occupation or de-
pendency. This will leave somewhat
less than 100000 9sw registrants avail
sble for service.
The other side Of the question IS
this: Il IS physically possible to main
tain an army OF only so many men IN
Europe and TO assist In feeding our
Allies at the same time. The size OF
that army Is yet TO be arrived at. Inc
highest estimates place it at 100000
men. OF which approximately 60 per
cent would be combatants. once the
limit is reached it then becomes
a question OF keeping the field force up
10 war strength, which, OF course, VIII
require successive calls for men and
continual training in this country. 1t
therefore remains 70 be seen how far
the present registration goes toward
building up an army Of maximum pro-
portions.
