BAKER APPROVES PLAN
Draft Age Will Be Extended to
Reach Men 10 to 40.
United States Must Place 5000, 900
Men i'm Field, Military Leaders
Say.

Washington, June 20-EXtension of
the draft age limits from Is to 45 now
seems to be practically assured.
Secretary of War Baker has been
persuaded that this step is necessary.
He announced that he will approve
any change in the selective service
act necessary to raise an army of the
required size.
American and Allied military lead5
ers are now convinced that the Unit
ed States must place an army of at
least 100000 men in the field, ii
possibly with the proposed extension
of the age limit.
Baker Won Over to Plan.
Secretary Baker was won over to
the plan at a conference with Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder The
secretary's approval removes the last
obstacle in the path of the army gen.
eral staff's move to bring the pro-
posal before Congress at an early
date. 1t is possible the question will
not come up until late in the fall.
The approval Of Secretary Baker is
taken to indicate. similar attitude
by President Wilson. The War de-
partment, therefore. is convinced that
Congress will enact the necessary
legislation without lengthy debate.
General Crowder has favored an ca
tension of the draft age for several
months. No official action looking
to revision in the law was taken,
however, because Secretary Baker for
merly opposed the proposed extern
sion.

Two German prisoners, who, after

Austrians Are Unable to Close in

Armies.
FORCING ENEMY BACK
Teutons Suffer Heavy Casualties un-

Some Lost Terrain Is Regained-
Fierce Fighting in Progress

London, June 20.-The Austrians
are unable to make the pincers sys-
tenn of attack work with the precision
of last October when they forced back
the Italians under General Cadorna
from the Julian Alps to the Piave
river and from the northern mountain
regions almost to the Venetian plains.
In fact the pincers will not close.
The upper jaw in the Venetian Alps
is stalled under the resistance of the
British, French and Italian forces and
the neither one seems to lack the force
to bring it across the Piave. In the
Alps the Austrians have been unable
to advance farther since last week.
Everywhere from the AsiagO plateau
sector eastward to the Piave their at
lacks have quickly been repulsed by
the Allied troops who have. regained
lost terrain, infiicting heavy casualties
and taking a considerable number of
prisoners.
Fighting Fierce Along Piave
All along the Piave fierce fighting
is going on, especially on the Montello
plateau and further south from Eos
salta to some 20 miles east of Venice.
The Italian war office announces that
the enemy everywhere is being held
along the Pave From Vienna comes
a variant report. 1t does not concede
to the Allies any gains of ground in
the mountain region, saying that all
their counter attacks were repulsed.
It asserts that the battle is following
it's intended course.
LulI Continues in France
The infantry operations on the bat
tie front in France continues virtually
at standstill.
The French continue daily to regain
ground taken from them in the recent
German offensive of the Aisne and
also to take prisoners in these enter
prises.
Several attempts by the Germans to
penetrate the American lines il the
Marine sector have been smashed by
the American gun fire.

Theo. Spiegelberg, who has lived on
his fine farm northeast of Ladysmith
for about ten years, has the best field
of clover that we have seen this sea-
son. Mr.. Spiegelberg has his farm in a
fine state of cultivation, and as he has
a good bunch of dairy cattle and uses
the barnyard fertilizer to the best adj
vantage, his crops are growing better
as the time passes. Rusk county needs
more men of the Spiegelberg type to
show up the true value of the soil here
Gus Mitchell has started a crew of
men to work on the road west of his
farm. New roads will be built and
gravelled as rapidly as possible all over
that section of the county, which is
sold or beng sold to settlers who will
rapidly change the country into fine
dairy and stock farms. When Big
Falls is developed tits country is going
to be right in town, as to location, and
the men who are getting in there now
will be in an enviable position later
on.

PROPER TRANSMISSION
Is ENGINE FEATURE

even the Fulton's 'triple-heated'
gas motor would not make an eff
cient, economical motor truck unless
1t were backed up by properly design
ed transmission" says William Fulton
Melhuish, president OF the Fulton Mo-
tor Truck Company, of FarminEdale,
L. l., in a bulletin to users.
"If the clutch, gear-set, driving
shaft, and final transmission are de-
signed to sacrifice speed for power, or
vice versa. the best features of the
motor count for little. In the Fulton
truck, the parts are designed through
out, from engine to wheels, for econ
omy and efficiency.
For instance, the internal gear
drive axle Is used. The advantages of
this type Of rear axle are well known
to truck operators. 1t Is designed to
transmit the maximum Of power from
the engine to the wheels and to obtain
the greatest speed with the least con-
sumption OF fuel The power axle is,
of course, independent of the load
carrying axle, relieving II Of road and
load strains. The load-carrying axle
is a one-piece round bar of special
heat-treated chrome nickel steel with
out weld or Joints, and breakages or
of either the power
or load-carrying axles are almost I'M
known. This Fulton axle has less COM
plicated parts, is less dependent upon
and assures greater tire
mileage than other types"
