After referring to the strict meas

to protect the army from the in
furious effects of the much drink,
the Gazette says:
1T is not within the authority of
he army to question the wisdom of
any policy of the Government or the
orders of the Secretary of War. Es-
pecially the regular army officers can
see only one path in the perform
ance of their duties, and that is the
one which is prescribed by law and
the orders of their commanding
chiefs.
But at the same time the army
fully realizes that the dry features
of our military policy will not win
the war, as its advocates insist. If
the army had been consulted it would
probably have restored the old we'll
regulated canteen with its light wines
and beer. The regular army hand
led the temperance question better
with the canteen system, and the
regular officers fully realize that the
army would be better satisfied with
a well-regulated sale OF light wines

Draft Ages of Is to As Set

will straighten out these difficulties
and tend to coordinate the whole
sysem."
After formally announcing the
new draft ages Secretary Baker said
all the possible combinations of age
limits were carefully studied and it
was found that in order to get the
men into Class 1 for the program
proposed, is to As was necessary.
He said, however, that the bill, as
recommended to Congress, will con-
tain a provision authorizing the
President to call men out of Class 1
by classes, according to ages, so that
If il is found possible the men be-
tween Is and 10 will be called out
later than the older men who are
found eligible to Glass 1.
The War Department program, the
War Secretary said, is purely a mill
tary one and cannot be called con-
scription of labor, although it nat
urally will have the effect of putting
at useful labor or in the army all
able-bodied men within the age linz
its as they finally will be fixed by
Congress.
In recommending this extension of
the age limits, Mr.. Baker continued.
the department had it in mind SIM
ply to get for the army the number
of men which it believed necessary
to defeat Germany. The Secretary
was not prepared to say how many
that would be, nor to give any esti-
mate as to the proportion of males
between the ages of is to As, inclu-
sive, which would be found eligible.
In making up the list and classes. the
same rules would be followed that
had governed in the first draft, with
the same exceptions. from the first
call of married men with dependents
and those engaged in essential in
dustries.
Mr.. Baker gave it as his opinion
that so far about 100000 had been
drafted out of Glass 1fromtheexist-
drafted out of Class l from the exist
ing list.
Number of Men Affected.
The number of men affected by
the new draft will be approximately
100000, according to an estimate
issued by War Department officials.
The estimate made by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder, in his annual
report to Secretary of War Baker,
put the figure at 13,77O.312. The
is to 20 men, according to his reck-
oning, will lumber S,OS7,063, and
those from 81 to As 1O.6S3,249.
Ninety-siX per cent of the IS to 20
men are unmarried and are "deemed
to make the soundest and most plia-
bic military material" Seventy
seven per cent of the men in the 81
to As classes are married.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
estimates 3,525,472 as the number
of single men in the 31-45 class, out
of which 30.41 per cent, or 1882
3SS, would be fit material for the
army.
The single males in 1920 class ag-
gregate 2,963,5S1, out of which l.
167,947 are listed as acceptables.
The percentage of acceptables is al
so 39.41 per cent, based on the first
draft. There is little doubt, how
ever, there would be more in the s.
