Extending the Draft Ages

G ONE surprise has been felt by the people
~ generally over the fact that the War De-
pGrtment has found it necessary to raise tho
draft ages This surprise given express
sion, at the time legislation provided for the
changes was pending in Congress, legislation
which without doubt would have passed Ii
The Secretary of War had not interviewed
with the statement that the War Department
would submit general man-power measure
carly in the fall.
When the original registration of Ameri
cans between the ages Of twenty-One and
tlirty-one years took place, it was found
that 1o,700.000 young men had walked up
to the registration booths and recorded their
names and addresses. Since then more than
100000 have been added through the round
up OF slackers and something like 100000
through the amendment of the law which
provides for the registration of the young
;nen who have attained their twenty first
birthday since the original enrolment took
place. This has placed approximately H.
100000 men at the disposal OF the army from
winch 1t seemed very simple matter to draw
ali tho men who might conceivaby be used
III Europe.
Within year from the time tho drawing
OF men began, the War Department finds that
practically all available registrants he We been
taken into the army or else have volunteered
either for the army or navy, and it is natural
mat this circumstance should be wondered
at. Fortunately, there is very satisfactory
explanation OF tho whole business In the
FIRST place it was found that 100000 of
the rcgistrants were aliens. and were auto
matically excused from military service A
total of $4,000 at once found to he
engaged III essential occupations as skilled
mechanics, shpyard workers, sailors and
other work of necessary character -Four
hundred thousand more are Federal en-
pioyees. technical or mechanical exper1s
whose usefulness was employed in the civil
branches of the government. In ALL S,70O.oOG
oi tho registrants were found to have depcn-
dehts ana we're given deferred classification
ms cut the total of men available, after
I'll classifcations had been made. down TO
ABOUT 100000, which would have provided
SUFFICIENT man-power reservoir but for the
TACT that somewhat more than 80 per cent
OF them werc physically unfit for strenuous
military duty
or the 100000 men fitted in all RESPECTS
&c go INTO the army, many thousands volun-
'cered their services to the army and navy
Others have gone since into the essential
industries. leaving in all no more than 600
wv men for the army to draw upon. This
Is the explanation given for the fact that the
dralt processes Will have to be widcned and
more men made available for dutv in tbe
army and it is an explanation. of course

When we undertake to cooperate in
agriculture we must know what we are
cooperating in and for; the conditions
under which work must be done. the
machinery through which IL must be
accomplished. and these things must be
assiduously. studied II efforts are to
be effective. Obviously we must know
the problems and the forces IL we are
to work intclligcntly.
one OF the great problems confront
ing us is how to educate the business
man and secure his effective part!cipa-
ton. The department and the land
grant colleges are frequently embar-
raised by ill-considered aud unwise
proposals from individuals and bust
ness organizations: and not infreQuently
friction and ill-fceling are engendered.
The business man Is occupied with his
Immediate concern and no effective
plan has been devised for reaching
him. The metropolitan press has not
yet fully conceived the part IL might
play in this great field. Agricultural
activities are important, but furnish
little Of tho material commonly re-
gardcd as news. and il IS seldom that
you find on STATS OF city papers men
interested in these matters or possessed
OF the requisite training 10 discuss
them.

business world should have At least
ficu,tics under which the farmers OF
