 Because of the smaller number of children born during the war years, the military classes of 1885, 36 will be scant, and it is regarded as particularly appropriate that the new strong dcfenses will be in use by then.

TWO SUSPECTS IN OLD CASES
 UNDER ARREST
Men Believed Involved Tn Kidnap Cases of Years
 Ago Quizzed
MRS. LINDBERGH IS
 NEAR BREAKDOWN
No Information as to Pro- gress with Underworld
 Go-Betweens

HOPEWELL. N. J., March 16.- The police have delved into almost forgotten cases of Kidnapping in an effort to solve the abduction of baby Lindbergh, stolen from his crib in his nursery two weeks ago last night.
 The police exonerated Frank Berg, Jr., who was arrested and accused of attempting to kidnap Max Phil- lips, collar maker, seven years ago.
 The police then turned their att tentions to the Kidnapping in Schen- ectady, N. Y, nine years ago. of a scientists son, and arrested Stanley Crandall, paroled convict. who fig ured in that case. for questioning. Crandall was quizzed and late this afternoon released, freed of all sus- picion.
 Shows Strain
 At the Lindbergh home, Mrs. Lindbergh shows the strain of the great suspense. It is said few caIl- CTS are allowed to see her. Mrs. Morrow, mother of Mrs. Lindbregh. is in close attention on her daugh- ter.
 Col. Lindbergh still hopes that the underworld agents will bring results in the Kidnapping case and his baby son will soon be returned.
 Police authorities state that as far as they know, no results have been announced by Morris Rosner, Salvatore Spitale and Irving Bitz, the underworld go-betweens. There is a possibility that secret negotia- tions are in progress with the Lindberghs through the go-be- twesns, by the kidnapers, but the police have no information on this matter. The police, as expressed yesterday, are inclining to further belief the baby Is dead.
