BAKER WOULD
RAISE VOLUNTEER
ACE To 81 YEARS
SeG'y Baker Advocates In
crease Army Enlistment
Age Fifteen YeraS for
Men Over Forty.

WASHINGTON, May 25. - An
other move toward full utilization
of the country's man power was
made Friday when Secy Baker sent
TO congress the draft Of a bill pro-
posing 10 raise the maximum age
limit for voluntary enlistment in the
army from 40 10 So years. All men
over &C so enlisted would bc assign
ed TO non-com Blatant service.
In letter 10 Speaker Clark ask
ing that the bill be pushed, Sec'y
Baker said:
Every man above the age Of 40
years who is enlisted in non-com-
blatant branches OF the service will
make available for duty with the
line troops men within the pre-
scribed age limit for all troops
Experience Valuable.
Many men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable to the
staff corps and departments. may
be thus be secured instead OF
younger men without much expert
ence and the efficiency of the staff
corps and the departments thus viii
be increased"
There are probably 100000 men
between the ages of 40 and 55, and
many thousands Of them already
have expressed their desire TO serve
by bombarding the department with
applications. While the great ma
jority of the men in this class un-
doubtedly will be restrained from
enlisting by family and business ties,
the number at liberty to join the
colors is expected to be more than
sufficient 10 meet the purpose in
view.
Stan Corps Positions.
Staff corps positions include many
duties behind the front. Every
headquarters unit includes a num-
Der of positions for which he older
men would be just as well suited as
the present occupants who. under
the new plan, would be released for
line duty
Official estimates are that a mod
ern army 10 be maintained as an eff
ficient unit must have between 40
and 80 per cent Of its actual fighting
strength on duty behind the fight
ing zone This means that Of the
first 100000 men sent TO France,
400, 900 serve along the line Of COM
mUnication. in hospitals. or at the
various headquarters and debarka-
ton bases.
