Washington, June 26.-Seeretary of

Baker told the committee that his
chief objection to changing the ages
through the amendment to the army

mann's latest peace offensive is regard

unacceptable and insincere.
State department and other author
tiles gave it scant though or discus
sion. They did make it clear, though
that the United States win not hearken
for moment to such appeal, which ap
parently has the piunder of Russia as its
foundation.
Allied diplomat used it as the text
for further 1rgings in favor of Russian

As predicted few days ago by the

Its attempt to lay the blame of
