atOr Chamberlnin's Proposal TO
Raise Huge Army Of
Drafted Men.

Washington, June rs - Senator
Chamberlain announced late today
that it is proposed to call in August
100000 drafted men. in September
100000; in October 10000; in No
vember 10000; and in December
$4,000. These $4,000 men, he said,
are expected to exhaust class one. :
The senate failed to reach a vote
today on the Fall amendment and the
question of extending the draft age
limits went over.
Tomorrow, Senator'S Reed of Mis-
souri,, military committee member,
Cummins of Iowa, and other advo-
Gates of the Fall amendment, plan to
renew their fight. Senator Chamber
lain and other opponents of the
amendment, expressed the belief to-
night that the senate will reject the
proposal, but not until after further
bitter controversy. I
Those supporting the amendment
today, said the exerting Of the ma
tons maximum man power at the
earliest possible moment is neces-
sary IL the war is to be shortened.
Senator Fall insisted that, since the
army bill gives the President unlim-
tied authority to increase the size of
the army, Congress should immediate
ly provide larger body of men from
which calls may be made. He sug-
gested, also that political considera-
lions caused by the Administration
opposition to immediate legislation,
but Senator Chamberlain denied that
politics was involved. explaining that
Secretary Baker and Generals March
and Crowder had presented the Ad-
ministrations views upon the invita-
ton from the Senate Committee.
There would be no delay in increas-
ing the army to the maximum OF the
nations resources by postponing or
by changing the draft ages was the
statement Of Secretary Baker and
General March upon which opponents
Of the Fall amendment laid stress.
Also they declared Congress should
not now force on the war depart
ment legislation not yet approved nor
carefully considered. even by con-
gress.
Sentiment generally was expressed
In the debate that revision OF the draft
ages apparently must be resorted 10
In the near future and considered by
congress next fall AZ the latest. Cen
eral sentiment also vas against low
ering the maximum below 20 years
and for Increase Of the maximum 10

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-08-27

Standing in the lead of the entire
country for per capita sales of war
savings stamps in July and 18th in
the list for total per capita sales to
Aug. /, Vermont has good cause to be
proud of the showing it has made in
this particular form of thrift. Lest
persons in Brattleboro and other Wind
ham county towns become unduly
proud, however, let it be said that this
county stands 10th among the ii in
the state, only Addison, Grand Isle
Orleans and Essex being below. Cal
edonia leads with sale of 5000 per
capita, while Windham county's aver
age is $747. Brattleboro has recently
passed Bellows Falls but still remains
behind Wilmington whose per capita
sales, $17.77, are exceeded by less than
half dozen towns in the whole state.
