Leastwise, That is Secretary
Bakers Recommendation to
the Congress.
1T is PURELY MILITARY
War Secretary Says the Deprat-
ment Has in Mind Simply to
Get Number Men Necessary
to Defeat Germany.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Draft ages
of from Is to As years will be rec
commended to congress in the bill
embodying the war departments s
new man power program which will
be introduced in both houses of con-
gress today and expedited by COM
mittees with a view to prompt con-
sideration when regular sessions of
the senate and house are resumed
late this month.
After formally announcing the
new draft ages, Secretary Baker said
all the possible combinations of age
limits were carefully studied and it
was found that in order to get the
men into class one for the program
proposed, Is to As was necessary
He said, however. that the bill as
recommended to congress will con-
tain provision authorizing the
President to call men out of class
one by classes according to ages. so
that If it is found possible the men
between Is and 10 will be called out
later than the older men who are
found eligible to class one.
The war department program. the
war secretary said, is purely a mill
tary one and cannot be called a con-
scription of labor, although it nat
urally will have the effect of putting
at useful labor or in the army all
able bodied men within the age linn
its as they finally will be fixed by
congress.
In recommending this extension
of the age limits, Mr.. Baker contin-
ued. the department had it in mind
simply to get for the army the num-

sary to defeat Germany The sec.
retary was not prepared TO say how
many that would be nor to give any
estimate stO the proportion OF
males between the ages of 1s to As.
inclusive. which would be found
eligible.
In making up the list and classes.
the same rule will be followed that

the same exceptions from the first
call OF married men with depend
ents and those engaged in essential
industries.
| Mr. Baker gave il as his opinion
that so far about 100000 have
been drafted out of class one from
the existing list.
There has been considerable op-
position in congress to lowering the
minimum age, many members being
reluctant to draft youths before they
attain their majority and come into
full citizenship. Senator Chamber
liam, chairman of the senate military
committee, said that he expected op.
position on that score, but expressed
the opinion that there would not be
unusual delay in passing the bill.
Some members of congress be,

tion.
The Germans had been dropping
shells about the town intermittently
since daylight. When the Americans
decided TO advance it was after A
careful preparation and under a
sweeping barriage of shrapnel and
gas the infantry advanced.
There was opposition also from
machine guns to the south and east
OF the town but the Americans quick
ly silenced them.

AID FOR RUSSIA
IS DECIDED UPON
America and Japan Will Each
Send "a Few Thousand Men,
to VladivOStOk.
TO SAFEGUARD THE CITY
Agreement is Largely Result of
Personal Efforts of President
Wilson to Bring the Nations
Together.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The Amer
lean and Japanese governments for
mally announced here that the plans
for extending military aid to Russia
and Siberia would be undertaken by
the United States and Japan alone
with the other allied co-belligereuts
asserting in principle.
The United States and Janan VIII
each send few thousand mem to
Nlad'vostok to act as commoa
force in occupying and safeguardir
the city and protecting the rear Of
the westward moving Czecho-
Slovak army
The numbers of the American
troops from where they will go and
when. may not be discussed.
While the United States and ia
pan are extending aid to the Czecho-
Slovak army in Siberia the United
States will continue to cooperate
with the allies operating from Muir
mansk and Archangel To what ex-
nounced.
The only present objects Of the
apanese-American force will be to
give such aid and protection as is
possible to the Czecho-Slovak forces
against the armed body of German
and Austrian prisoners of war and to
steady any efforts at self government
and self defense in which the Rus
slams themselves may be willing to
accept assistance.
Later the United States will send
a commission OF merchants. agricul-
tural experts, labor advisers. Red
Cross representatives and agents to
the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion, to organize in some way to
meet the economic necessities of the
stricken Russian people.
Both the United States and japan.
in the official announcements. make
the most specific pledges OF the ac.
t1on agreed upon being wholly with
out thought Of interference with the
sovereignty of Russia or any inter-
ference whatever in her internal af-
fairs.
The Japanese government at the
same time pledges itself that when
the objects of the mission are accom-.
plished it will withdraw every Ja-
panese and leave the sovereignty of
Russia unimpaired in all its phases.
This agreement, to which all the
allies assent, is largely the result of
the personal efforts OF President
wilson, who has been al work al.
most increasingly for weeks to bring
the nations together in the most eff
fect've plan which at the same time
VIII convince the Russian people
that the aims will be purely to help
them preserve and develop their new
found democracy.
The text OF the Japanese state
ment as given out here corresponds
to the decision published in the Or
hrial Gazette at Tokyo Friday, anc
cabled to this country via London.

Apparently the situation now has
resolved itself into a race for the
the Germans, who have been evicted i
from strategic positions along the
Vesle river, in the center of the lire,
and directly east of Rheims, which
seemingly renders necessary that
they put the Aisne between them-
selves and their pursurers as quick

ther large losses of men made pris-
oners.
Just how large this bag of cap
tives is at present cannot be reck-
oHed, but unofficial advices from
Paris assert that when the figures
are made public they will thrill the
allied world. General Pershirg in
his communique says the Americans 4

So fast has been the retreat of the
Germans in the center that already
some elements OF their forces have
succeeded in reaching the northern
bank of the Aisne and getting num-
bers of their big guns across with
them. All through the salient towns
are still ablaze behind the retreatine
Germans, and even corn fields have
been set afire in order to prevent the
allied troops from garnering the ri
