MILK CASES COMING UP
Charges Of Dealing Here Without

in Court.

District oficials and milk distributors
will stage the preliminaries in Po-
lice Court Wednesday in what may
develop into long-drawn-out litiga-
tion affecting the quality OF milk to
be sold in washington in the future.
Seven cases of alleged bringing Of
milk into the District from unlicensed
sources will be called for trial Wed
nesday. If the program of the corpora
ton counsel. concurred in by the
health department, is acceptable to
the court.
OF these two are against W. A.
Simpson and one each against H. A.
Black. Corbin Thompson, Martin L
Shawn, John w. Gregg and ]. J.
Bowles.
Evidence in the cases was worked
up some time ago by the health de-
partment, and many other cases are
pending. Delay in bringing them to
trial has been due principally to the
fact that only recently the Supreme
Court decided the Police Court is the
proper tribunal for hearing such cases.

For Extension Upward.

The reluctance of many members of
Congress to go lower than the twen-
ty-one limit is still apparent, al
though there is evidence of a strong
sentiment toward carrying the maxi
mum up as high as forty-five. There
is no doubt. however. that War De-
partment officials would prefer to
draw on the classes of nineteen and
twenty year old youths to I'LL the
ranks, and see no decided military
advantage to be gained from any
considerable extension upward.
Secretary Baker has heretofore an
nounced that his policy in recon-
mending any change in draft ages
would be to seek sufficient number
of men to meet the Army's needs in
such ages as would least disturb the
economic situation at home. The

Tho War Department Will place Do
fore Congress next week recommen-
dations for enlarging the Army and
extending the draft age limitations in
order to provide new reservoirs OF
man power to oyerwhelm Germany.
Members Of the two military COM
mittees have been recalled to Wash

the bill.
Secretary Baker. in announcing that
the enlarged Army project 10 virtually
ready, would not say what age linz
its have been settled upon nor indi-
cate in any way the size Of the Army
which he is planning.
Secretary Bakers Statement.
Following a conference with Chair
man Dent Of the House military yna- az
fairs committee. secretary BAKER
yesterday said:
IT do not want to say what the ages
Will be, because the concurrent ac-
tion Of the two houses is necessary

plan, involving suggested ages. ! am

Chamberlain as soon as he gets back.
ANY suggestion to extend the draft

quate number of men for the en-
larged military program. II the
ages are revised. they will have to be
either below twenty-one or above
thirty lone, or both. think it will be
both"
Chairman Dents Views.
Chairman Dent was even more ret
icent, but he said he was willing to
go either up or down in extending
age limits Of the draft to win the
war.
.'My personal preference is to 80 up
first" he added.
The only specific information re-
garding the new age limits to be
drawn from Mr.. Baker was q state
ment that the limits Of nineteen to
forty had been among the suggestions
canvassed, but rejected In many
quarters 1t is believed extension to
the ages Of nineteen and thirty-six
will be recommended.
There are. several features of the
draft age discussion that stand out
clearly. In presenting the original
seiective service bill. Secretary Baker
and his advisers fixed nineteen as the
proper minimum, and Mr.. Baker has
said repeatedly since then that he
has seen no reason to change his
opinion in that regard. Congress-
ruled against taking men below the
voting age of twenty-one. however,
increasing the War Departments
suggested maximum from twenty-six
to thirty-one, where it now stands.

Improvement in Cattle Industry

The allocatiou of herds of cat tie to ranches which were able to take care of additional cattle and marked improvements have resulted in some improvement of conditions in the cattle industry, according to Kirk Hart. A sur vey of range conditions revealed the fact that some of the ranches could take care of small herds belonging to cattlemen not so fortunately situated and these have been allocated to snch ranches. Several sales of can ners and other grades have tend ed to ease conditions.
 There has been no improve ment, however, in general range conditions in the southern part of the state, and the special committee of cattlemen and busi- ness men appointed some time ago to devise measures of relief is still engaged with that pro- blem.
 The range expert dispatched by the federal government to make an investigation in this section, has been unable to come being ill of inf uenza in Montana, and Professor Taylor of the Uni versity, a member of the con- mittee, is also i'll of influenza, so the committee is marking time at present.
 It has been ascer tained that ranges of northern Sonora can take care of approximately 1OO,- GOO cattle, and that herds can be sent over in bond and kept there under the terms of the bond for one year. The price would be $4 per year, which is considered by cattlemen to be very reason able, but apparently there is no way of securing a guarantee from Mexican authorities of the protection of herds sent to Mex icO.-ProSpector.
