DRAFT AGE LIMITS

BY L, G. Martin

Washington, Aug. 3.-Eighteen to for
ty five are the draft ages fixed in the
new man power bill to be introduced
in the senate Monday by Senator Cham
berlain.
The bill gives. the president discre-
tion to call those below 81 for training

overseas.

able effect in modifying those who lie
lieve that no man should be called into
military service until he is at least of
voting age.
The presidents idea is to have those
between Is and 81 receive not only MI
itary but vocational education.
Secretary Baker later officially an
nounced that the draft age limits fix
ed in the bill he gave Senator Cham
berlain this morning are IS to 45.
The ages fixed in the bill are those
which have been favored right along
by Senator Chamberlain Secretary Ba-
ker, however, was thought to favor
making the minimum 10 years with the
maximum some where between 35 and
40.
The fact that he was converted to
the lS-45 limit is believed due in large
part to the attitude of Provost Marshal
General Crowder, who has strongly adj
vocated making all men between Is
and 45 subject to some sort of service.
If the bill is enacted as proposed, it
will empower Crowder to extend his
EoSk ,or'fight order to a much broader
degree than at, present.
Crowder recently told the senate
committee that if he were given such
a bill he would guarantee there would
be no further shortages of labor in this

The Germans made every effort to

captured there, the boches having no
opportunity to destroy them. The en-

Of American troops are now engaged in

General March revealed to day in his
conference with correspondents.
Declaring that the objective Of our
forces is still the anemy's army, Gcren-
al March presented confidential report
showing the success of the American
Allied advance. An officer of General
Muir's staff, back from Fers-e -en-Tarde-
nois, made the report, saying it did
not seem possible TO gather all the guns
and material abandoned by the Ger4
mans.
The ground was SO covered with Ger
man corpsas it was impossible to pro-
coed without walking over them.

The officer said, too, that the 2sth
division had made very rapid progress
and has advanced considerable dis
tance from its rear lines, The rainbow
division, it was stated, was the organi-
cation which week ago distinguished
itself against the crack Prussian guards.
Discussing the general military situa-
tion, March pointed out that the Ieri-
metc Of the salient had been reduced to
As miles, as against "a at the start. The
depth of the enenly's retirement is now
