tcle rightly says that prohibition Is
not peculiarly Southern product
The submission Of the amendment
cannot be laid al the door Of the
South alone and. in matter of repris-
ais the Chronicle asks. How are
these to be worked ?" and suggests
that they would have to come through

these amendments first 20 be submit

pictures these states going before
congress with this proposition.
Gentlemen of tho Senate. We know
you voted for the prohibition APPEND

NAY EXTEND AGE TO As YEARS.

Washington, D. c., June 17.-Pro-

lay before congress, probably at this
session, suggestions for legislation
widening the scope of the present
draft law to include men over thirty
one following a conference between
Crawder and Secretary of War Baker
it was learned today.
Baker suggested that Crowder ex-
plain the draft situation to congress
sional military committees and make
such recommendations as he saw fit.
Crowder did this Saturday. Baker
will not oppose the extension of the
draft age limits. The new legisla-
tion, which may come up this ses-
sions, has an amendment for a new
appropriation bill, expected to in
clude men between eighteen or
twenty-one and forty-five years.
