allied advance from the Marne be-
comes too great to be overcome. they
confidently expect some such opera
tlon as General Foch frequently has
proved his full knowledge of the VAL
de of holding the initiative and can
be relied upon to hold it by separate
assaults which will wear out the Ger
rian reserves in hurrying from front
to front to meet them.
So far as future American partici-
patton goes General March has al
ready disclosed to members of con-
gress that offensive operations against
the enemy on a large scale had been
expected to be undertaken later in
the year. That general scheme it is
thought accounts for the new plans
Of the war department since what is
being devised now Is in preparation
Tor the spring campaign of next year
in all probability.
There are already available more
troops than can be shipped to the
front before winter brings the fight
ing to halt although the last five
weeks have seen a half million Amer
lean troops sent to France.
In making his statement today, Mr..
Baker would not say what changes
In draft ages were contemplated. The
matter was still under study he said.
incidentally, he disclosed that a def
employed in France within some fixed
period of time is being held in mind.
The study of the draft age question
he said. was based upon finding the
necessary number of men with the
least possible disturbance of economic
conditions in the country"
1t was recalled that the original Ma
tional Army plan as presented by the
war department recommended age
limits of 10 to &c inclusive. Congress +
changed these limits to the present 81
to 81 law. There has been nothing
TO indicate. however. that either Mr..
Baker or his advisers have changed
their opinion that men of 10 should
be taken, furnishing two large addi
tiOnal classes of recruits immediately
with little material disturbance of the
balance.
Just what maximum age will be
found most desirable 1t is difficult to
say 1t was frequently urged In con
gress that the limit be set at As
