new DRAFT AGE
MAY BE 1886
Universal Service Probable
if Men Now Is or l9
Are Called
ENLARGED CHANGES
NOT MADE PUBLIC

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Secretary OF
War Baker has outlined TO Chairman
Dent, Of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affair, the enlarged army program
desired OF Congress by the adminlstra-
Non, but withheld public announcement
I Df its provisions.
In view Of the pressing necessity for
additional Glass 4 men to enable Cen
eral Crowder to flll his fall quotas with
out drawing upon Glasses 2, and 4.
Secretary Baker took steps TO obtain
speedy action by Congress on the draft
age changes.
The secretary's admission that he had
reached a decision on the new draft
age resulted in all manner OF specula-
lion as TO the ages, but these guesses
were as lacking in agreement as In OIL
clal authority.
About the only combination Of ages
not reckOned in this speculation last
night was the nineteen TO forty basis,
which was declared a bad guess" by
Secretary Baker.
In view Of Secretary Bakers previous
statements, the general view was that
nineteen 10 thirty-flve, both inclusive.
This combination, adding seven yearly
classes TO the present age limits, II was
pointed out, might fall short OF en-
abling the department to provide for an
army OF 100000 men, which Is part
Of the new program. 10 would give
about i,750.000 Glass men, while twen-
ty@to forty would give the department
approximately 100000 men.
The point was made that Secretary
Baker is convinced he could not OBJ
tain congressional approval TO draft
ing men Of eighteen years, although
General Crowder was understood to
have recommended eighteen 70 forty,
which would add 100000 Glass 1 men.
II Secretary Baker asks for men OF
eighteen and nineteen years, 1t Is be-
lieved generally, he will recommend the
French system Of calling such classes a |
year before they are liable TO service in
order that they may be fully trained |
when reaching the age Of active duty.
This would involve a wartime system /
Of universal service.
After meeting Chairman Dent, Secre- |
tary Baker said he had sought to lay |
the plans before Senator Chamberlain,
chairman Of the Senate Military Az
fairs Committee, but the Senator Will /
not be IN Washington until today.
The new army bill will be introduced
in both the Honse and Senate next
Thursday. In the meantime, Secretary
Baker win urge the chairman or the
two committees 10 have special meet
ings during the recess TO expedite the
bin before Congress resssembles. Sec
retary Baker probably will go before
the Senate committee next week.
Representative Dent sent out call
for members OF the House
committee. Senator Chamberlain is ex-
pected 10 take similar action today.
Members Of the Military Committees
favor forty years as the lowest limit as
draft ages. Many want the
limit fixed at forty-flve or even nifty
years, so that labor difficulties can be
handled better through a general exten-
sion OF the ''work-or-fght" order.
