Mr.. J. E. CASTILLO dropped into The
Leader office this morning and told
us that he was leaving, with his fam
lily, next Saturday for Waycross, Ga,
where he would spend some time with
his parents, and from there would go
to Denver, Colo, where he had po-
sition offered him, but that he was go
ing to take long rest before going
to work again. Mr.. CASTILLO is an
electrician and has been in the employ
of the Ice and Electric company here
for the past five years as bookkeeper.
His health has not been the best and
he could not stand the inside work.
We trust he will improve by a rest
and change of climate. Mr.. and Mrs.
CASTILLO have many friends here who
will regret their departure. Mr.. H. K.
Bennett, bookkeeper for the South
ern Utilities Co., in Lakeland, has
been transferred to Tarpon Springs
to relieve Mr.. CASTILLO.

ward carrying the maximum up as high as 45. There is no doubt, how ever, that war department officials would prefer to draw on the classes of 19 and 20 year old youths to fill the ranks and see no decided military advantage to be gained from any con- siderable extension upwards.
 Secretary Baker has heretofore an nounced that his policy in recommend ing any change in draft age would be to seek sufficient number of men to meet the army's needs in such ages as would least disturb the economic situ- ation at home. The bulk of the new forces, in his view should be drawn from the youngest class of men phy- sically able to stand the strain of modern warfare.

British and French Press For ward tO Profit by American Cains-Huns Best Troops Are Thrown in Recklessly.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The German armies apparently are again on the ro+roat in the Aisne- Marne salient. Tho American thrust in the center of tho line at Seringes already has given rosnlts The Paris statement tonight sbowed that the allied forces had loaned forward on the German Hanks m both sides, indicating to observers here that the withdrawal to the Vesle was in full swing.
 This has been expected by officers here since the American divisions outfought crack German divisions in terrific conflicts which began Satur- day The enemy made every effort to burl the Americans back across the OurcQ, but failed. His picked troops fought to the death, reports from all sides indicate. but the fierce attack of the Americans was not to be denied and the positions which broke the back of the German line on this front were consolidated.
 With magnificent gallantry, British and French forces took full advantage of the situation. The enemy was hurled off Chalmont butte in a dash ing assault by Franco British units and to the east the French also ham, mered at his line. Tonight's report shows that it was made untenable and that French and British have made rapid progress in exploiting the sue cess.
 The fact that six hundred prisoners were taken in one part of the action indicates hat the retreat was more precpitate than it has been for the last few days. This was viewed as further evidence that the enemy was Withdrawing under pressure and gave new hopes that his lines along the VesIe would not be fully prepared when the allies arrive before them. Aside from the gains in territory made in the allied counter drive, off, cers believe 1t has already served it's greatest purpose in proving to the German army that it is not invincible. The enemy has been foiled in his ob- lectlYes, first in his thrusts toward Rheims, organized with all the skill and unsparing effort of which he was capable, and then in his effort to hold HIS gains against counter assault.

BAKERS SCHEME ENLARG|NG ARMY
 NOW COMPLETED
Plan For Extending Draft Age Limits Goes Before Congress Next Week-Belief Prevails 19 to 36 Will Be Ages.

Washington, Aug. War depart ment recommendations for enlarging the army and for the extension of draft age limitations in order to pro- vide new reservoirs of man-power to back up the forces already at the front, will be laid before congress next week. Members of the two military committees have been re- called t Washington by the chairmen in order to expedite the bill.
 In announcing, following a confer ence with Chairman Dent, of the House committee. that his increased army project was virtually ready, Secretary Baker would not say what age limits had been settled upon, nor indicate in any way the size of the army which he is planning.
 q do not want to say what the ages will be-" he said 'because the concurrent action of the two houses is necessary to secure assent to them. I had a conference with Mir. Dent this morning and went over with him the full plan. involving the suggested ages. I am to have a conference with Senator Chamberla;n as soon as he gets back.
 "Any suggestion to extend the draft ages is to produce in class an adequate number of men for the en- larged military program. If the ages are revised, they will have to be either below 21 or above 31 or both. I think it will be both.'
 Chairman Dent was even more re- ticent but said he was willing to go either up or down in extending the age limits of the draft to win the war. "My personal preference is to 20 up first" he added.
 The only specific information re- garding the new age limits to be drawn from Mir. Baker was a state ment that the limits of 19 to 40 had been among the suggestions can vassed but rejected. In many quar- ters it is believed extension to the ages of 19 to 36 will be recommended. There are several features of the draft age discussion that stand out clearly. In presenting the original selective service bill, Secretary Baker and his advisers fixed 19 as the proper minimum and Mir. Baker has said re- peatedly since then that he has seen no reason to change his opinion in that regard. Congress ruled against taking men below the voting age of 21, however, and sought to make up the deficit by increasing the war de- partment's suggested minimum of 26 to 91, where it now stands.
 The reluctance of many members of congress to go lower than the 2l limit is still apparent, although there is evidence of strong sentiment to-
