BAKER DROPOStS NEW DRAFT AGES
 l8 ID 45 YEARS
Bills to Be Introduced Into Both Houses of Con-
 gress Monday.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Draft ages of from IS to 45 years will be recom- mended to congress in the bill en- bodyfng the war departments new man power program which will be introduced in both houses of congress Monday and expedited by committees with view to prompt consideration when regular sessions of the senate and house are resumed late tins month.
 After formally announcing the new draft ages today, Secretary Baker said all the possible combinations of age limits were carefully studied and it was found in order to get the men into class one for the program propos- ed Is to 45 was necessary.
 He said, however, that the bill, as recommended to congress, will con- tain provision authorizing the presi dent to call men out of class one by classes according to ages, so that if it is found possible the men between IS and 19 will be called out later than the older men who are found eligible to class one.
 Help Mobilize Workers.
 The war department program, the secretary said, is purely a military one and cannot be called conscript- ion of labor although it naturally will have the effect of putting at useful labor or in the army all able bodied men within the age limits as they finally will be, fixed by congress.
 In recommending this extension of the age limits, MT. Baker continued, the department had it in mind simply to get for the army the number of men believed necessary to defeat Germany.
 The secretary was not prepared to say how many that would be, or to give any estimate as to the propor- tion of males between the ages of IS to 45, inclusive, which would be found eligible.
 In making up the list and classes, the same rules would be followed that had governed in the first draft, with the same exceptions from the first call of married men with de- pendents and those engaged in essen- tial industries.
 May Fight Lowering Limit.
 Mir. Baker gave it as his opinion that so far abcit, 1,6O0,OO0 had been drafted out of class one from the ex- isting list.
 There has been considerable opposi- tion in congress to lowering the minimum age, many members being roluctant to draft youths before they attain their majority and come into full citizenship.
 Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the senate military committee, said that he expected opposition on that score, but expressed the opinion that there would not be unusual delay in passing the bill. Some members of congress believe that the man power bill will be taken up immediately af- ter congress resumes regular ses- sions and disposed before the new war revenue legislation is considered.

PLOT TO BOW UP U. 5. TRANSPORT

 for Crime.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 3.-An an- archist plot to destroy an American troop transport is believed by the authorities to have been frustrated today with the arrest of man who said he was Frederick Rouchat.

REPORT 0f HEAVY
 U. $. CASUALTIES
 DfN|ED BY MARCH
Chief of Staff Says Ameri- cans Did Not Lose 12,-
 GOO at Marne.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Widely pub- lished reports today that General March, chief of staff, had told the senate military committee that General ePrshing estimated the American casualties in the Marne fighting at 12,000 not only grossly misinformed the country but caused consternation and regret among war department officials.
 Not only did General March deny that he had made any such statement but the senators who conferred with him as we'll declared he did not do so.
 Secretary Baker in a formal state ment denounced the reports.
 When the senators at the weekly conference asked the chief of staff if he had any estimate of the American casualties in the Marne fighting gen. eral March replied that he had not.
 Later in his semi weekly conference with the Washington correspondent the chief of staff was asked.
 "Have you any estimate as to the number of casualties?"
 General March's reply was: "None whatever"
 General March and the senators who conferred with him explained that he had been asked what the total casualties already reported was and that the general had replied between 12,000 and 14,000.
 This number is the sum total of the war departments official daily list and is published in many newspapers throughout the country. It makes no account of the Marne fighting.

 Within a few hours today, unoffi- cial advices showed that the whole line had surged forward to the Aisne- Vesle front and thrown cavalry pat rols beyond it.
 Gen. March Highly Elated.
 General March, chief of staff, had difficulty today in his conference with newspaper men in concealing his ela> tion over the decisive defeat admis- tered to the enemy.
 He announced that General Per- shing now had more than million HIGH uuUcI Hlo OIIcCC COlIlIldlu, III his own area" Presumably he refer red to the section of the front from north to Verdun to the Swiss border where American troops have been rapidly taking over the line from the French.
 The first army corps, first of the major tactical American units to be formed probably represents the mo- bile reserve to be contributed by Gen. eral Pershing to the pooled reserves plan and is counted as part of the million men.
 Eight U. s. Divisions In Battle.
 There are eight divisions of Ameri- cans, or in the neighborhood of 300,- 900 men now in the fighting zone where the great battle is going for ward and General March pointed out that General Liggett has set his head quarters in the center of the line where his six divisions are assembled together with two additional divis- ions.
