|NANPOWER BILL
READY IN FALL
Direct Step Toward Universal
Military and Vocational Train
ing of Nations Youths.

WASHINGTON, June 2S:-A direct
step toward, universal training, both
military and vocational, of the ma
in the great manpower bill which will
be presented to congress by the War
Department in September.
The tentative plan which will be 2
part Of the general measure changing
the draft ages will provide that
youths of eighteen nineteen or twenty
shall be trained both in military and
industrial lines until they are twenty
one, at which age they may be drawn
into the military establishment.
AS reported recently by the United
Press, President Wilson is understood
to favor careful training OF young
men for all emergencies even after
peace has come. That he and Secre-
tary Baker are about to urge such
training as an actual war measure
also WAS stated by members OF the
house and senate military committees
today.
The reason the President and Sec
rotary Baker urged postponement Of
the proposed legislation to increase
the draft ages now is understood TO
have had its basis in their desire to
get q carefully worked out plan
whereby both now and after the war
the nations manpower may be
trained and be best utilized.
The manpower bill it is stated will
make it possible to turn TO war work
or fighting every man between the
ages of twcnty-one and fifty years.
