Chief of Staff March Urges Sen
ate Committee to Raise the
Draft Age at Once.
WOULD SPEED PEACE
Program for Increased Military Force
to Begin Immediately as Soon
as Congress Acts-Huge
Army APked For. \

Washington, Aug. 8.-General p. G.
March, in urging enactment of the ad-
ministration manpower bill extending
draft ages to from Is to As years, told
the senate military committee the war
department plans an army of approx.
mately 100000 men to be raised as
soon as possible. ..
About July 30, General March said,
the United States reached a decision
to enlarge it's military program to car
~ out the policies agreed upon at
the recent inter Allied conference at
Paris to speed up prosecution of the
war and bring it to an early cOnclu-
sion.
While realizing the importance of
the measure, General March said, he
did not believe it necessary to recall
congress before the present recess
plan expired on Aug. "a, providing the
bill could be reported at that time.
General March said the shipment of
men overseas would be continued, &C
cording to the program now in effect
for the present.
q Amendment 10 Necessary.
The chief of staff discussed the me-
cessity for amending the present law.
Much Of his statement, given to the
committee behind closed doors, was
supplementary to that of Provost Mar
shall General E. N. Crowder.
Questioned regarding the apparent
change of front" of the war depart
ment in it's war program, General
March told of the governments deci-
sion in accord with the Paris confer
ence >.,v
For the new program Secretary N.
D. Baker and other officials concluded
that there must be an extension of the
draft ages. .E
Want 100000 Army.
While about 100000 men are now
under arms, army officials think there
should be approximately 100000 at
home and in France. In order not to
disturb the present draft system and
to avoid calling men who had been
exempted, extension of the draft ages
is necessary. -. ~
From General March's testimony
and other information received the
committee has gained the impression
that while all men between the ages
of IS to As will be subject to military
duty under the new Law, it is proposed
that those between Is and 20 years
of age shall be kept in this country
until the last.
