EXTENSION OF
 DRAFT AGE LIMIT
 UNDER DISCUSSION

Washington, June 25.-Extension of the draft ages above and below tue existing Iimitx--21 to 31 years--was during consideration of an amendment by Senator Fall of New Mexico to the s12.eO0, 100000 army appropriation bill to substitute IS years ns the minimum and 45 years as the maximum. The senator revised the amendment, mal- ing the ages 20 to 40 and eliminating a provision that youths under 21 should not be called into active military serv- ice.
 Disposal of the amendment and a sub stitute by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska went over until tomorrow, with sentiment in the Senate apparently evenly divided Some senators regarded it as probable some expression might come from tho administration. particularly in view of g report circulated at the capital today that President Wilson opposes, for the present, at least, any change in the age limits, and deplores agitation for theii extension at this time.
 The Fall amendment was vigorously supported by Senator Reed of Missouri Opposition was voiced by Senators Mo Kellar of Tennessee and Kirby of Av. kansas, democratic members of the mil itary committee, while several other sen ators declared they favored raising th' maximum age but opposed lowering tho
 minimum.
 Senator Hitchcocks substitute amend
 ment fixes the age limits at 20 and 40
 respectively, and provides citizens of thu
 allied countries resident in the United States shall be subject to draft, ant that nationals of neutral countries wh' claim exemption shall be barred iron American citizenship.
 Imperative and immediate necessity fo an increase of America's man power il the war was the principal argument o those fayoring the amendment while op ronents based their objections principal,
 upon the contention that there are sui ficient men now available to meet thu war department's programme, and tha neither the President nor the departmen has asked or approved the proposed ex tension of the law.
 It was freely predicted that Class would soon be exhausted and that un less the age limits are raised there vii
 be disruption of industry with consequent effect upon the war programme.

TARRANT CONFERS
 WITH EMPLOYMENT
 AGENCY HE ADS HERE

At the request of State Director George B. Tarrant. representatives of number of federal employment agen- cies in Alabama met here yesterday at the Southern club for conference on the labor situation and to receive in- structions as to the work required of them by the government.
 Present at the conference were: w A. White and Miss Roberta Roberts of Anniston; c. J. Rollins of Dothan; W. w. Lancaster and R. F. Hudson of Montgomery; Carl Halzborn of Mobile; Ruch Randall of Bessemer; Lewis Bowen. B. E. Samuels and Mrs. l.. " Pittman of Birmingham, and State Director George B. Tarrant of Bir- mingham.s
 Capt. J. B. Hutchinson, United States recruiting officer in Birmingham, at tended the conference and offered to cooperate with the labor agenies. stat ing that any skilled mechanic or per son skilled in any other trade w ho might apply for enlistment would be immediately inducted into the army
 TARRANT EXPLAINS PLAN
 Mir. Tarrant explained the work or fight" order and the plan of the er- p1oyment bureau to secure employ ment for every person in the country. He said that the administration was determined that all essential industries should secure their labor through the federal employment bureaus, thus elim- mating the competitive bidding that has characterized the labor situation in the past. He stated that the empioy- ment agencies would work in harmony with the local exemption boards and in that way better check can be mace on slackers
 Reports made by the agency repre- sentatiyes present showed that there. is no surplus of labor in any part of the state. though in some of the agri- cultural sections the farmers, by doing little more work themselves and re- quiring members of their families to work who had never worked before, were able to cultivate their crops.
 Contractors on government work at Muscle Shoals called during the coE- ference and promised to secure labor only through the federal agencies in both towns and cities where there are agencies.
 Mrs, l.. w. Pittman, in charge of the women's department of the Birming- ham agency. reported that she had placed over goo women in useful occu- rations and that the Birmingham of- flee would Ego over" in the matter Of bringing labor and jobs together.

American Rifle Superior

American troops are armed with
a faster firing and more accurate
rifle than used by the Germans, ac-
cording to our expert designers,
manufacturers, and marksmen, says
a statement by the Bureau of Ordi-
nance. One military critic and
writer claims the German Mauser
does not permit the most skilled
user to get more than so percent of
the firing speed of the modified En-
field adopted for the United States
service.
The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported on
three counts: Quicker firing as a
result of bolt-handle design, easier
and quicker sighting as a result Of
sight design, greater accuracy of
bullet flight resulting from bullet
design and greater mechanical &C.
curacry of chamber and bore.

Have you donated anything for

you have done your duty when you
have simply made known the fact
that you are willing to give a GER
tain article. Bring the article
down town and put it in the place
provided, either in the show win

pany or on the lots next to H. P.

sale depends on the entire commun-

ticle would make rather a small
sale but if everyone brings some
thing it will make a successful sale
and a goodly sum of money can be
raised to purchase material for the
local Red Cross. Every man and

vidually responsible for the success

Sucker Born Every Minute

the people that they should be free
and work only four or six hours
day; that labor should have all it
produced; that the mellineum was

their sleeves and fight for their ex-
istence, and that they must work
at least 16 hours day. Some diff
erence between theory and practice.

Auction At Cenesee

The biggest event ever pulled off
for the Genesee Red Cross since its
organization last June was the pub
lie auction held on Main street last
Saturday afternoon. The generos-
ity and interest of the public was
fully demonstrated in the long list
of liberal donations made. The
News would like to publish the list
in full but lack of space forbids.
The bidding. too, was along the
same liberal lines, articles being
sold and returned until they brought
many times their actual cash value.
w. A. Whitted acted as auctioneer,
donating his time and good ability
to the cause, which was greatly ap-
preciated.
Besides the money received di-
rectly from the auction, there were
numerous and liberal cash dona-
tions. The Red Cross ladies served
dinner and lunch of sandwiches and
coffee and about $l3O was netted
from this source. When the pro-
ceeds of the sale, cash donations
and dinner fund were put together
it was found that the cash for the
days work totalled $1,372,87, and
that the Red Cross auction, as those
in charge had desired it should be,
was the biggest and best yet. -

What Nations Pay Rulers.

Some folks are apt to think that
the President of the United States
receives an enormous salary-$75.-
900 year, with $4,000 annually
for travelling expenses and free
house rent. But when his salary
is compared to salaries received bv
foreign rulers and presidents the
amount is certainly small. King
George of Great Britain gets $3.-
10000 a year, and recently he
was granted" $65, 200 year
more, because he said he could not
maintain his family on his salary,
and "struck" for more. The Ger
man emperor gets no salary, only
a grant of $65O,OOO year. But
as king of Prussia he gets $780,.
600 year and he says this is clear
ly not enough. The king of Italy
is another monarch who has recent.
ly hinted at the meager salary paid
him: he receives So, 100000 a year.
The czar of Russia, when he was a
czar, received a salary of $8,179,-
900. The salaries of all the other
monarchs pale before his income.
The king Of Spain receives only
$1,80O.00O a year. The king of
the Belgians gets $875.OOO a year;
the king of Denmark $345, 900;
Queen Wilhelmina receives $525,
600. The only president of a re-
public comparable at all with ours
is the president of France; he re-
ceives $240,OO0 a year. from which
he pays his own travelling expenses
and entertainments. Hence, the
President of the United States re-
ceives the smallest salary of any
ruler of nation in the world-Ex.
