THE NEW DRAFT AGES.

tCECRErARY BAKERS announcement that his enlarged
army project practically ready to submit to congress
is quite lacking in details but hints from other sources
indicate that the department will favor extension oi

would give u.s. in the younger group, from nineteen to
twenty-one around million extra regsants, OF whom
nearly twothrds should he class ono men The addition
of older men, from thy-one TO thry-sX, would include
between four and five million men, is believed but the
oereenage of deferred casscatons would OF be
larger than among the younger Perhaps million
aud half class one men could be drawn from the Older
group With half million men available from the June,
1918 registration the war department would have force
siehly above three million recruits, without invading
the deferred cassiiications
There are now about three million in the army,
and the old class one resulting from the 1917 registration
il fairly well exhausted Thus the measure accord
ing to the vague and tentative outline made public would
give America an army of six million That is large
force and one which should be slightly augmented by
voluntary enstmcnts of outside the proposed egsra
tion figures 1t is certain however that it will be
sufficient, At the start it believed the men made
available by registration OF from twenty to thirty
one would he ample but year was sufficient dsproye
that optimistic view. The possibility OF greater need
suggests the wisdom Of extending the age still higher at
This time-at least to forty This would distribute the
older among the units and make for better balanced
formation
1t is apparent also that there will be objection in con-
guess to lowering the age limit Those objections will be
