consideration for the proposal before
congress to extend the draft age lim-

Officials in the office OF Provost
Marshal General Crowder immediate
ly began preparation of statistics
showing results which might be ex-
pected if the draft iss extended to
various ages between IS and 45 years
the limits fixed in a bill by Senator
France, of Maryland, republican.
Early reports of the results of re-
classification OF men by local boards

come effective next July ! also is
expected to add to the total Eacn
district is expected to have near the
national average of psf per cent of
its total registration in class one
when the recassification has been
completed
The contention that there is no
immediate necessity for changing the
age limits is not shared by General
Crowder, who recently told the SEN
ate military committee that extern
sion Of the age limits was necessary
because at the planned rate of calls
class one would be exhausted early

Mr.. Baker said today that the only
reason for his having hesitatcd to

sulting effect upon vital industries of

Washington, June 19.-An attack
by Turkish troops on the American
consulate at Tabriz, Persia, and the
looting of an American missionary
hospital in this city reported to the
state department today, was believ-
ed in some quarters here to presage
the long anticipated declaration of the
existence of a state of war between
the United States and the Ottoman
empire. Diplomatic relations between
the two governments have been sus-
pended since April 20, 1917, and since
that time the relations between the
/ two governments have been just short
/ of actual enmity.
President Wilson and the state de-
partment have not regarded a decla-
ration of a state of war between the
United States and Turkey and Bull
garia as necessary or desirable since
there has been no actual collision be-
tween American and Turkish and Bull
garian troops.
Officials were inclined to believe
the sacking of the American hospital,
q Presbyterian institution, over the
protest OF the Spanish council in
charge, as representative of American
interests, furnished the necessary
provocation for open hostilities be-
tween America and Turkey. 1t was
realized reports might show the Of
fenses were not as grave as reported.
American doctors and nurses who
have been stationed in the hospital
were believed to have left Tabriz be-
fore the Turkish troops arrived.
Gordon Paddock, the American consul
in Marta reported to the department
May 29 last, that he and all the Amer
deans and British were prepared to
leave the city before the advance Of
the Turkish army.
Some officials pointed out today
that since tht attacks on the consulate
and hospital occurred in Persia, the
United States must first hold the
Persian government to account and It
is responsible for the safety OF
foreigners and their properties with
in it's borders.
However, because of the peculiar
and uncertain relations between Tur-
key and Persia the assertion by the
former of the right Of suzerainty over
Persia, and the well recognized inabil-
ity of the latter to resist the Turkish
troops, there Is little doubt here that
the Washington government will hold
that the responsibility for the out
RACES has passed to Turkey and that
If the first reports are substantiated
the existence of a state of war be-
! tween Turkey and the United States
must be declared. Counsul Paddock
and the other Americans at Tabriz,
were believed to be making their way
overland either to Teheran, some 400
miles from Tabriz. or TO Hamedan,
where they would strike the great
caravan route leading to Bagdad from

Kathleen was tired of them all. No
sooner had one finished than another

Just the same Kathleen did feel
melancholy. Aleck was different from

During the past Ave months, under

sugar were saved. this amount includ-

In asking for sugar economy was TO
ensure a supply that could meet the
needs OF both America and the Allies
for the duration OF the wal. In order
TO do this, II was necessary 20 take
adequate precautions TO guarantee q

.RAGGLES,

About a year ago a little dog, thin
as rail. was making his rounds on
Spa View Heights, hunting his rations
in the garbage cans. In one he found
quite a mine of wealth. After devour-
ing it he remained around the door
all day long. At night he received the
remains of the supper, which evident
ly convinced him that he had struck
it rich" as he stayed until next morn
ing. when he was again RECALLED. This
induced him to adopt the family, and
he soon grew fat and slick We call
him "Raggles" after Becky Sharp's
butler. He soon struck up an ac-
quaintance with a little girl of the
lneighborhood, and for some time they
have been having quite a Irritation
with each other-she bringing him
bones and tidbits from the table and
he crying to get out to visit her, when
ever she appears in the yard. (There
are no fences here) At Christmas
she sent over quite a fine mess, ac-
companied by Merry Christmas card.
He replied through his mistress with
the following doggerel:
My dearest little neighbor Ruth
am a dog who tells the truth
And it gives me real pain
To know that you are sick again.
And just at Christmas time-too bad
tbs enough to make me sad;
But hope you'll soon be out,
Well and running all about.

Which you sent for me to eat

The great need of motor trucks per-
,.r,,iop work of this character is ap-
.a,ent 10 any one who has investigated
-, ,r,nsportation problem which the
syerage farmer, as well as cattle
arover Is up against. With the gov
n,nepf Communicating millions OF

o,eated the necessity OF cattle grow
o,s keeping in constant touch with

rim fresh meats. With the scarcity OF
.vsiIable railroad equipment, this
would be a difficult thing to do. If ii
was not for the motor truck stepping
IN and taking a good share OF this
burden off the railroads.
On the first load transported there
we're y head of cattle; on the second
load 13 head of hogs and head Of
cattle. on the third trip, load of
,niyed merchandise; on the fourth
trip 20 head of hogs, while on the
ahh we're 80 head of hogs. On re-
turn trips general merchandise is
hauled for which is charged the same
freight rates as the railroads. The
hauling ia done over rough roads, and
while there are a good many hills, the
roads are comparatively good. 1t can
he seen from the gradual increase in
the above loads that the man operating
the truck gradually learned how to
load il scientifically, and with the aid
OF the trailers, more than doubled his
load capacity since the first load.
II is Just such rural route transfer
companies as this one that the coun-
try is badly in need of in every section.
and from the way these companies
have sprung up In the last six months,
augers well for the future. Now that
the war is over, motor truck tlanspor-
taton work of this kind offers unusual
business possibilities, because it will
be long time before conditions here
at home return to normal times, and ii
will be to those business men who see
the handwriting on the wall in the
