BAKER CONSIDERS
 BIG ARMY PLAN
Secretary to Have Recon. mendations Ready When
 Congress Meets.

Washington, July 30.-Secretary Baker will soon be ready with his plans for increasing the army. He said yesterday there would be no nec- essity for having Congress give up it's recess to consider his recommenda- tions, but he hopes for early action after the regular routine of the House and Senate is resumed in August. MT. Baker will ask for more money and more men. He will outline a pro- vision that will amend the draft ages, but has not indicated what limits he will urge.
 Senator Sterling, Republican, of South Dakota, introduced a resolution yesterday calling on Secretary Baker l to inform Congress why men who had volunteered for army service, but were turned down for different causes, had later been drafted. The resolu- tion also asked if it would be possible to transfer such mcn in volunteer units.
 l Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, declared there had been much variation under the Draft Law, men having been jerked into the ser vice after they had been turned down and had started upon business en- terprises or married.
 Senator Nelson, Republican, of Minnesota, said the complaints against the operation of the selective draft come from the administration of the law rather than from the regulations
 "One of the problems now confront ing the Provost Marshal General and the War Department is as to the adoption of new Draft Law chang ing the age limit" said Senator John son of California "In the prepara- tion of that particular law unques- ttionably the matter of whether vol untary enlistments of any sort shall be permitted will be one of the sub
 ''When the draft law was before us
 one of the arguments made in It's be- half was that it was equal and inn
 partial in it's operationi that volun- teering, on the contrary, was unequal and partial, and that volunteering took the best without indeed making all
 comaly; but immediately after the
 draft law was adopted some authority 1 sent it's posters all over the land, to | which I called attention not long ago, | in which, individually it compared
 substantially volunteering and the ex-
 ecution of the draft age. These post CTS were couched in language such
 as this: Don't be a sent, be went,
 calling upon them to volunteer, after the arguments that were made con-
 corning the magnif1cence and the
 equal operation and impartiality of | thed raft"
