OPPOSES CHANGE
IN DRAFT AGE
Secretary Baker Tells Senate
Body That He Has New
Army Program.
TO Be READY in 90 DAYS
War Chief and General March Assert
Change Should Be Deferred
100000 Will Be in Army
by August.

Washington, June 28.-After Secre-
tary Baker and General March had op-
posed revision of draft age limits and
announced that within 80 days the war
department would submit a new and
enlarged army program, the senate
military committee on Wednesday
voted against any legislation to change
the draft age limits from tWenty-one
and thirty-one years to twenty and
forty years.
Senator Chamberlain announced
that it is proposed to call in August
100000 draft men. in September 15O,-
600, in October 10000 in November
10000 and in December 125,OOO.
These, he said, are expected to ex-
haust class 1.
Senator Hitchcock gave figures stat
ing that in August, when the final call
on men in class / will have exhaust
ed that class, there will be 100000
men in the army and the highest esti-
mate of the number of American
troops which will be in France by that
time is 1,45O,OOO.
Secretary Baker said an enlarged"
program for the army is planned in
formal statement made after he had
been closeted with the committee for
nearly three hours with his aids. He
said:
Il presented to the committee state
ments that for the present there are
enough men in class l sufficient for our
prospective needs, and when the en-
larged program of the United States is
ready for presentation to congress we
will at the same time have complete
data on which to base any recommen-
of the draft"
Most of the senators who heard the
statements believed congress would
follow the recommendation.
When the senate reconvened and re-
sumed the consideration of the army
bill Senator Chamberlain said:
Both the secretary and General
March are of the opinion that no
change ought to be made in the age
limits at this time. They say that
no harm can be done and no delay
occasioned by postponement of chang
ing the ages until September, and thy
very much advise against change u
til this investigation can be had.
'@The committee was advised tina.
troops are being sent over partly In
French and British bottoms and there
may be some changes in that arrange
ment July 1-either that the arrange
ment will continue or more American
tonnage Will be available.
''They feel that before any change
should be made there should be
full investiga ton before disturbing the
social and Industrial conditions Of the
country.
'"The committee concluded by ma
jority vote it would>not be best to un-
dertake at this time change in the
draft limits

SINKS u. S. TRANSPORT

on Enthusiastically Not

WHY BALL CAN BE CURVED
Presence of Irregularities on tho
Sphere Alone Makes the Feat
a Possibility.

If 1t were not for mountains" on a
baseball much larger in proportion
than any mountains on earth the clev-
err pitcher could not get SO much
as a sixteenth Of an inch curve in 1t.
If baseball were a perfect sphere
the best pitcher in the world could not
make 1t curve a hairs breadth other
than the natural curve produced by
gravity. The reason the baseball
curves, says the American Boy. is be-
cause it is covered with mountains"
There are great peaks and ridges, val
1eys and cliffs, gullies and craters all
over 1t. Magnified 10000 diameters,
all these things may be seen, and they
present a far more rugged landscape
than any mountainous region in the
world. 1t looks like an exaggerated
combination of the Grand Canyon. Bad
Lands, Alps and Rockies.
It Is these Irregularities that make
It possible for a pitcher to curve his
baseball. OF course he knows how to
hold and throw 1t, but In passing
through the air the friction strikes upon
these ragged edges even though they
have to be magnified 10000 diameters
to be seen with the naked eye, and
cause such a pressure as to make the
ball leave It's natural course.
