fort to Be Made to Fix 10 Years as
Limit-Many Views Expressed.

Washington, Aug. 23-Brisk debate
on the man-power bill engaged the
attention of both houses turnout yes
terday's session. The fight revolved
about the proposed drafting of men
under the age of y years, Consider
able sentiment was manifested at both
ends of the capitol against reducing
the draft age minimum limit.
Some members Of both houses open
Il opposed the drafting of young men
under 90 years Of age. Others de-
clared their intention Of supporting
amendments to compel the war de-
partment to Put the men under ~
wears into deferred classes to be called
after all the men above 20 years OF
age in class one are taken.
Deferred Plan Assailed.
Feeling ran high in the house over
Kenzie of Illinois, placing youths un-
der 20 years Of age in deferred classes
to be called last. The amendment was
adopted Tuesday by the house military
affairs committee. Representative
Plat of New York caused an uproar
by a bitter attack upon the amend
ment.
1T represents the last dying gasp
of the obstructionists and the paci-
fists who opposed the first draft.
Representative Platt asserted.
Representative Mckenzie was on his
feet instantly. Il won't allow my pa
triotism to be questioned by any one,
he shouted, Indignantly
Mr.. Mckenzie and some OF his foi-
lowers demanded that Representative
Platt withdraw his language, but the
New York congressman refused point
blank.
To Try 10 as Limit
Representative Shallenberger Of Ne
braska expects to offer an amendment
to prevent the drafting OF men under
10 years of age. In the senate Senator
Kirby of Arkansas. who has always
fought the draft, has an amendment
pending TO make 20 years the mini
mum age limit.
Urging the adoption Of his amend
nent Senator Kirby declared himself
in favor of taking men with depend
ents before calling the younger men.
There should be spirit of fair
ness about this legislation" he SAID.
Those boys can't vote for the men
who will pass upon this legislation
and they should have a fair deal.
Wants Married Men.
II rave believed and still believe
that before we are thru with the war
there will be 100000 men in camp
and In the field. And yet we excuse
100000 solely en- the ground that
they are married.
After we have obtained the army
proposed in this draft we will need
another army probably OF o,ooo,ooo
men. Where are they to come from
It will be necessary to go into the de-
ferred classes then. I believe that we
should go into the deferred classes
now and not excuse men simply be-
cause they are married"
Bravery at Homo.
Senator Chamberlain made a vlgor-
Gus argument for the work or fight
amendment, declaring men at home
should work or join the army, since
the soldiers have to fight for $50
month and get shot If they disobey
orders.
Citing precedents dating back to the
revolution for calling out men IL to 40,

HUNS KNOW YANkS ARE THERE.
Newspapers Finally Tell People 1900
600 Americans Are Overseas.

Amsterdam, Aug. %. - At last the
German press has given up struggling
against the truth. In a short notice,
which appears in virtually all the pa
pers, the identical nature Of which
suggests official inspiration, the re-
luctant admission is made that Secre-
tary Bakers figures regarding the
strength of the American forces in
France are about correct.
One or two papers add the lame ex-
PLANTATION that their former figures
were based on the position prior 10
May and that the really big shipments
of men from America began since then.
The papers now comfort themselves
with the thought that Of the 1,3oo,ooo
or more Americans. only 100000 arc
actually in battle array, with OO,0eo
behind the front and that the remain
ing 6OO.0 900 is etappen troops-en-
gineers, railwaymen and general work
ers.
The Berlin Taeglische Rundschau
adds, as it sown information, that no
more than $4,000 Americans have up
to the present been noticed" on the
west front.
The Cologne yolks Zeitung CORE
spondent pays an involuntary tribute
to the efficacy of the entente
pamphlet propaganda carried on by
airplanes, saying that these pamphlets
ARE so seducively worded that any one
who is not well informed may almost
if not entirely. be persuaded
He, therefore, calls for a vigorous
counter propaganda to %enlighten
doubling spirits in the army.

who were questioned on the 25th re-
ported, for example, that the 88th Divi-
sion Of Infantry was almost annihi-

the Latest Attack, 1t
Is Reported

Eight dead, among whom are four
women, and thirty-seven wounded, in
Guiding nine women and seven chill
dren, were the casualties resulting
from the bombardment to-day.
Rescue parties at work in the church
which was struck yesterday by shell
from a German long-range gun have
found more bodies. 1t is now known
that fifty -four women were killed
The she'll struck the north side of
the church. bringing down part of the
roof and opening breach twelve feet
high and twenty feet wide. Nearly all
the debris fell inward upon the head
of the worshippers, sixty feet below.
The edifce is now a heartrending
sight. The enormous mass of stone,
in all shapes and sizes, lies in the
middle of the nave, and piled to about
the same height as the altar, which
was not damaged. The side aisles are
Uttered with less cumbersome wreck
ag< and the pavement is covered with
gray dust. All the stained glass win
dows, some of which were of histori-
cal interest. are shattered. The church.
although begun in the Middle Ages,
was entirely remodelled in the epoch
of the Renaissance. The beauty of its
musical services, which were sung un-
accompanied, attracted many music
overs.
In addition to H. Stroehlin. coun-
sellor of the Swiss Legation in Paris
who was killed, it is feared that his
wife also is a victim, although search
ers have not yet found her body.
Among the injured are Countess Mo-

Says Britain Has as
Many Dead as We
HaveMen i'm France

There are as many dead English SOL
diers lying in French soil to-day as
there are Americans in Uniform who
have crossed the seas to fight" said Sir
John Foster Fraser. speaking before
the League for Political Education in
Carnegie Hall yesterday morning. Sir
John made his comparison between
British sacrifice and American effort IN
this war to emphasize his appeal for
American reinforcementsi in France.
Sir John said Uncle Sam had only
rolled up his sleeves to take hand
in the great struggle for democracy.
He warned against peace talk at such
a time as the present and against the
insidious efforts of German propa-
gandists to stir up peace sentiment
here.
Don't waste time Sir John con-
tinued. eve have confidence in your
power and your deeds
An audience of more than 1000,
mostly women, cheered as he exhorted
