ARMY PLANS BEFORE 4
CONGRESS THIS WEEK
Draft May be Extended Between Ages
19 to 36-Army May Be Increas-
ed to 100000 Men.

War Department recommendation
for charging the army and for the
extension of draft age limits in order
to provide new reserves of man power
to back up the forces already at the
front will be laid before Congress this
week
In announcing Thursday, following
conference with Chairman Dent Of
the House committee, that his increas-
ed army project was virtually ready,
Secretary Baker would not say what
age limits had been settled upon nor
indicate in any way the size Of the
army he is planning.
Il do not want to say what the ages
will be-" he said, because the con-
current action of the two houses is
necessary to secure assent to them.
ANY suggestion to extend the draft
ages is to produce in Glass l an ade.
quate number of men for the enlarg-
ed military program. If the ages
are revised they will have to be eth
er below 81 or above 81, or both. I
think it will be both"
Chairman Dent was even more reti-
cent, but he said he was willing to go
either up or down in extending age
limits Of the draft to win the war.
| "My personal preference is to go
up first" he added.
The only specific information re
garding the new age limits to be drawn
from Mr.. Baker was statement that
! the limits of 10 to 40 had been among
the suggestions canvassed, but reject.
ed. In many quarters it is believed
extension to the ages of 19 and 36 vii
be recommended
