Exempted.

of men who have become twenty-one
since the draft law was enacted the
war department has rejected any plan
to raise the age limit of the draft 10
take In men more than thirty-one.
Another bill which Senator Chamber
lain introduced mt the request OF the
administration, provides for turlough-
ing National army men for harvesting
crops and other agricultural duty.
Another bill puts the quota OF me
states on the basis Of available men in
the first class instead of on population.

enacted was referred to ~ the recent
report of Provost Marshal General

them
II could be done, also, the provost
marshal general pointed out, by eX'
tending the age limit above the present
line Of tiiirty-one. The war department
has adopted the first suggestion. 1t
is estimated that It will add about 7OO,-
900 men to the draft available each
yehr.

sary to perfect and carry on the draft
and the passage Of Senator Chamber
lain's bin with administration support
