ARMY WANTS MEN UP TO 5 YEARS OLD SAYS BAKER

Washington. May 25.---Another move toward full utilization of the coun- try's man power was made yesterday when Secretary Baker sent to Con- gress the draft of a bin proposing to raise the maximum age limit for vol untary enlistment in the army from 40 to 55 years. All men over 40 so en- listed would be assigned to non-com- batant service.
 In a letter to Speaker Clark asking that the bill be pushed, Secretary Ba- ker said:
 'fEHery man above the age of 40 years who is enlisted in uon-combat- ant branches of the service will make available for duty with the line troops a man within the prescribed age limit for all troops.
 Many men whose long experience as mechanics and artisans will make them particularly valuable to the var ious staff corps and departments may be thus secured instead of younger mon without such experience, and the efficiency of the staff corps and the departments thus will be increased"
 There probably are 7,5oo, 900 men be- tween the ages of 40 and 55, and many thousands of them already have att tested their desire to serve by bonn barding the department with apphca- tions While the great majority or the men in this class undoubtedly will pc restraoined from enlisting by family and business ties, the numDer at nD- erty to join the colors is expected to be more than sufficient to meet the purpose in view.
 Staff corps positions include many duties behind the front. Every head quarters unit includes a number or places for which the older men would be just as well suited als the present occupants who, under the new plan, would be released for line duty. | Official estimates are that a modern army to be maintained as an efficient unit must have between 40 and 45 per cent. of the actual strength on duty behind the fighting zone. This means that of the first 100000 men sent to France 400, 900 serve along the line of | communication, in hospitals or at the various headuuarters and debarkation l bases.
 The Senate military committee yes- 1 A>- favor of large expansion of the Ameri- can army It ordered favorable re- port on resolution by Senator Reed of Missouri, declaring for an increase of 5000 900 men. Bv the resolution "the President is authorized in his discretion, and at such time as he may determine, to raise and begin the training of an ad- ditional force of S,ooo,oo men," who are to be called for training at such times and in such numbers as the President may direct"
 Senator Reed announced that he probably would report the bill to the Senate next Monday and endeavor to have it considered at an early date.
 The House military committee al- ready has added to the army bill an
 administration provision giving un- limited authority to the President to raise an army of whatever size need | ed

The Cuban minister to Mexico. pr. Ezequiel Garcia Ensenat, has not yet arrived in Mexico City, having been appointed only recently. During the interval Dr. Luis Santamarisy Calvo has h en acting as charge. It was re- ported recently that he would leave for Cuba on a vacation and would re- turn with the new minister.
 The Mexican charge in Havana is Alberto c. Franco.
 The recall of the Mexican repre- sentative to Cuba and the suspending for an indefinite time of the sending of a new representative is explained officially as for the fact that because of the war in which Cuba is involved, l, that government has been obliged to dictate, measures that affect the in- terests of the Mexican government in many instances.
 For this reason, it is declared, the making of representations that the Mexican representative would before ed to make to the Cuban government would be useless and would restrict the liberty of action of a friendly

 Gen. Candido Aguilar, minister of foreign affairs, gave out last night a statement for the announced purpose of avoiding a misinterpretation of Meicos action. Havana, May 25-The report that Mexico has severed diplomatic rela- tions with<Cuba could not be confirm ed here early today. In official circles
 last night it was said that there was l absolutely no foundation for such a report. The Mexican charge d'affairs
 left Havana yesterday for Mexico City but visited President Menocal before leaving.
 Several days ago there were rumors ] that relations between Mexico and
 Cuba werey strained. These rumors presumably were based on the Fabela incident. A message of felicitatior ] from President Carranza to President
 Menocal on the occasion of the cele. 1 bration of the 18th anniversary o1 | Cuba's independence on May 20 ap- | parentIy served to discredit the ru- morS.

YSidrO Fabela, MeXlcan minister to Argentina, was stolen from an em- ploye of th> Mexican legation in Ha- vana while he was taking it to a yes-, sel on which Fabela was to sail for South America. Two days afterward the baggage was returned
 Washington, May 25-The state de- partment has received information from it's own sources that the Mexican diplomatic representative in Havana has been withdrawn by Mexico, but no explanation was given-in the dis patches. Further advices were ex- pected during the day.
 A first reading of the statement is- sued by Foreign Minister Aguilar in Mexico, City, giving the reasons for the recall of the Mexican charge to Cuba conveyed to officials here the distinct impression that in breaking off relations the Mexican government actually is. expressing it's displeasure and resentment at the withholding of Cuban sugar and other supplies. The fact that these restrictive meas ures were adopted by the Cuban gov ernment in conformity with the re- quests of the American food admin istration and in pursuance of the general policy of the Entente allies and America of maintaining absolute control of shipping in the gulf -o1 Mexico and the Caribbean sea douDts less was known to the Mexican au- thorities.
 As Mexico cannot expect to make any successful protest to the Allies or to the United States against these restrictions, o1Tcials believe she has had recourse to the plan of bringing pressure to bear directly on Cuba and 1 it was believed that this first step | involving the severance of diplomatic relations, would be followed by re- taliatory measures of an economic nature.
 Ofimcials are unwilling to discuss at this stage the possible effect or relations between Mexico and the United States because of Mexico's break with Cuba. As Cuba is, in al but name, an ally of the United States any action, even by a neutral govern | ment directed against her must be 2 matter of serious concern to the Unit | ed States.
