TO RAISE DRAFT AGE.
Congress Expected to Pass EXtcn-

Washington, July 3l.-Scnatc and
House Military Committee members

Many members would be agreeable to
some form of universal training for
men below this age. making them
available as drilled soliiers when they
come Of age.
Though no word has cmanatcd from
Secretary Baker to indicat" what I'm
its he will ask there is general feel
ing on the bill that he will request
registration Of men IL to 10, or posi-
bly, 45 years of age. Men in touch
with the War Department, however,
incline to think the upper limit will

ncction it is pointed out that for the
older men the draft law would develop
largely into a work or fight PROPOSE

siderable control, without SO labelling
IL over the industrial disposition OF
able men. This the department is
anxious to avoid. Secretary Baker
has repeatedly said the department
has no disposition to control labor

tary.
The original Class l will be ex.
haustcd in September, but there arc
the June ) 2l-years1olds to draw
upon, and it is expected that a new
registration of 21-years-olds will b
had in September, so that, all in all

HARDEN DEFENDS WILSON.
Daring Anti-Junker of Germany
Prints Scathing Article.

Washington, July 31.-In a spirited
defense of President Wilson in the
German magazine, Zukuenft, Maxmil-
Ian Harden, the most daring anti
junker of Germany, charges that the
German press is doing its utmost to
becolud the policies of America
President and that they are knowingly
E!sstating the truth when they aver
that Mr.. Wilson favors a war to the
bitter END and the determination OF
The German nation.
In dispatches received here yester-
day excerpts Of the article by Har-
den, which was printed in Germany
last Saturday, are given. After quot
ing the statement of Count Hertling
before the German Reichstag that
President Wilson favors victory of
anihilation, Mr.. Harden says:
81 have not succeeded in discover
ing the slightest sign of such wish
in President Wilson'S words. He only
wishes to destroy, or at least to de-
prive of all its harmful influence, an
arbitrary power capable or secretly
and on its own initiative troubling
the peace of the world
"Prcsident Wilson expressed HIM
self without ambiguity in his al
dress before the people of Baltimore.
He spoke of the German people with
the greatest respect and oil the German
govrnment with the greatest resent
ment. He expressed two principles
which are the pillars of his doctrine.
These principles are, that whatever
the issue of the war the German
people will not see any restrictions
imposed on the possibility of their ex.
istence as a nation; that the German
empire will not have to contest for
any of the rights enjoyed by the
peoples of the new and old world.
Gree are those who are attached
to tradition to declare the Wilson
Utopian. Those who see
in militarism gift of Providence
wish that the present German EN-
pire may remain as it is. Does this
pious Count Hertling also attribute
such terrible thoughts to the Pope?
The Pope's note OF August, 1917,
a motion in the Re:chstag
demanding an evacuation Of all the
territories in Belgium and France
with guarantees Of the independ-
ence Of Belgium from political,
and economical standpoint,
and it demands that a resolution be
taken, having IS Il peace basis the
in the future of the
moral force of right in place of the
material force of arms. This is what
the President OF the United States is
asking in lay language"

istration. sensational developments
may come at any time.
British and French armies are con
tinuing their attack against the outer
defenses of the Hindenburg line north
and south of ST. Quentin. Notable
in the developments on that front dur.
ing the past couple of days has been
the progress of the French toward the
range of hills to the west of the Disc
river south Of st. Quentin. At some
points they are in contr>l of ridges
which appear to dominate long
stretches of the valley to the east
and in spite of determined counter at
tacks by the Germans, they are hold
ing the ground they have won.
British Meet Resistance.
It would seem that the British have
encountered savage resistance north
of st. Quentin, after having cut the
Hindenburg line at two points. At
present the British are fighting hard
to hold the ground they have won
in this sector, while slowly creeping
near the main German positions along
the line running to the west of Cam
brai.
Along the American-held sector OF
the front, there have been many pa
troll encounters, but nothing approach
ing a general action has been fought.
The same is true of the mountain
front in Italy An official report is
sued at Vienna indicates that a Czecho-
Slovak detachment was annihilated
during a raid by Austrian troops in
the Dosso Alto region. The same

Albania have been repulsed
