NEW DRAFT To ADD
2,392,845 TO ARMY
10 to as Measure introduced in
Both Houses.
TO REPC ! BILL OUT SOON
Crowder Suggests September as Date
for National Registration of
Men Within Proposed
New Ages.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The new ad-
ministration bill, introduced in both
houses of congress, to increase the
draft ages so as to include men be-
tween the ages of eighteen and forty
hVe, while not unopposed in both
houses of congress, is practically GER
tain of adoption.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
in statement submitted by Senator
Chamberlain, suggests September 8
as the date for national registration
OF men within the proposed new ages.
Weekly registration of youths at
tanning the ages of twenty-one during
the next few weeks was proposed by
General Crowder as the only means of
obtaining the 100000 men TO be called
10 the colors in September. This
could be done by presidential procla-
nation and would add about $4,000 TO
the number of men available.
Senator Chamberlain said his com
mittee had been called to meet today
TO begin consideration of the bill and
that he hoped to report it out within
u few days.
Senator Chamberlain presented a
communication from the secretary of
war showing the number of men af-
fected by the bill. According TO these
figures, 2,39S,000 men between the
ages of eighteen and twenty inclusive
and thirty-two and forty-fve inclusive
would be subject to military service.
OF this number G01,000 would be men
between thirty-two and forty-fve.
Slower In the House.
Chairman Dent of the house military
committee said he had no immediate
plans except to expedite ii as much as
possible.
Between the ages of thirty-two and
forty-fve General Crowder estimated
there are 10,02S,973 males, but taking
into consideration those married or
who would be subject to deferred
classification because of physical con-
ditions or other reasons he estimates
the met electives" at COL, 236. Be
tween eighteen and twenty he esti-
mates the number at 3,717671, of
which the met electives would total
1,797609.
Its Principal Provisions.
The principal provisions of the bill
are as follows:
1.-THE president may draft such per-
sons liable TO military service in such
sequence of ages and at such time or
times as he may prescribe; citizen
or subject of country neutral in the
present war who has declared his in
tention TO become citizen of the Unit
ed States shall be relieved from liabil-
ity to military service upon his max
ing "A declaration in accordance with
such regulations as the president may
prescribe, Withdrawing his intention to
become citizen of the United States,
and he shall forever be debarred from
becoming citizen of the United
States"
The provision referring to persons
engaged In industry and agriculture
providing for their relief from military
duty would be amended TO read:
Persons engaged in occupations or
employment found to be necessary to
the maintenance Of the military estab-
lishment or the effective operation of
the military forces or the maintenance
of national interest during the emer-
rency."

The ship was returning from France

Two American officers and five pri-

the officers are officially reported as

About 400 patients were on board
