Gen. Crozier Discusses Age Limit
Enlargement of Selective Service

Law.
Discussing enlarg gemen. Of the age
limit for selective military service.
Provost 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. Nine.
teen and 35 are perhaps the limits
most frequently suggested; but some
recommend 40 or 45 years as the up
per limit. There Is a distinctly
stronger demand for raising the
maximum age than for lowering the
minimum.
Gen. Crozier estimates that L.
389,388 acceptable single men would
be made available by an increase in
the age limit to include men up to
As years. The estimate places the
number Of acceptable single men be-
teen IS and 21 years at l,546,283.
The number of probably acceptable
single men already registered but
not called is 1,321,s45. According
to these figures, should the age limit
be enlarged to include men of from
18 years to as years, inclusive, A.
257,516 physically and otherwise
qualified unmarried men would be
open for call to service.

orators also purchased. while Wall street

The carly advance carried prices
about II to 15 points net higher. The
Improvement in fuel and transportation
conditions: the heavy January con-
sumption per working day: the pres

the peace talk was also IN evidence and
