Discussing enlargement of the age
limit for selective military service, Pro-
vost Marshal General Crozier said:
"a pronounced majority of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there Is great diversity of opinion as
to the proper age limit. Nineteen and
thirty-five are perhaps the limits most
frequently suggested; but some recon-
mend forty or forty-five years as the
upper limit. There is a distinctly
stronger demand for raising the maxi
mum age than for lowering the mini
num-"
General Crozier. estimates that 1885,
S86 acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase in the
age limit to include men up to forty
hve years. The estimate places the
number Of acceptable single men be-
tween eighteen and twenty-one years
at 1,546,2S3. The number of probably
acceptable single men already regis
tered but not called, is 1921, ,S45. Ac-
cording to these figures, should the age
limit be enlarged to include men of
from eighteen years to forty-five years,
inclusive, 4,257,516 physically and 9th
erwise qualified unmarried men would
be open for call to service.
