'v. ~ : b T AGE MUST BE EXTENDED hington, April 19.?Members of house military affairs committ turned to the Capitol from the w 7 conference with military aues today almost solidly conV/ that draft age must be extx 1 to from 21 to 40 years of age describing to the committee its ; Cf ential news from the Picardy a- ^landers fighting fronts, these V lepartmet officials laid stress f o; necessity of more man-power, ay declare, it is said, that Lloyd G e's declaration for Irish con1 s ;:on showed emphatically that E and has done nearly its utmost. Representative Kahn, of California actual leader of the committee, declared on his return that a bill to ex tend the draft age surely will be passed this session. He said it would be approved by both houses, so that on June 5, when it is proposed to register the men who have become 21 the last year, all men up to 40 would be summoned. Men Above 31 Peculiarly Eligible. . There was every expectation ai mong committee members that Secre tary Baker, when he apepars before this body Tuesday to outline his poliir? ?YP/Mitivp cps<?inn_ will make this one of his leadng recommenda$ V tons. Military authorities and congrees are agreed that men above 31 years of age who have no dependants are peculiarly eligible as fighting men. Divison of the men above 31 like those below that age will be If into classes one, two, three and four. While physical rejections of men above 31 are expected to run higher as-relating to front line duty, it is thought by the War Department that men of this age can relieve younger P troops from many routine and more or less noncombatant assignment. A democratic member of the committee pointed out today that, when | the house passed the original draft act, a year ago itf ixed ages from 21 to 40 and that the present limits were a concession to the senate. It developed, too, that when the K house military committee voted down early this week a proposal to raise the draft age a majority of the com mittee expressed itslf in favor of the ? principle. Camp Should Be Cantonment. Committee members were strik | ingiy agreed, too, that the sixteen I eld National Guard encampments; which were of envas should be rebuilt at once into cantonments. No, member would admit that the remark able agreement had resulted from a | suggestion by the War Department. But all pointed out that this would in crease the country's training facilities from around 600,00 men at one time to a million and a quarter. Representative Kahn said the ad| vatage oft hiswa s not offset by the lack of shipping to transfer the . troops, once trained. He declared every week of training on this side would mean that that much less time would riave to be spent in European f_ drilling stations. The conviction of the committee members that Baker will ask on Tues j r. day for an army of five million men was strengthened by today's conferfr-ence. \ fT . To Chairman Dent, who visited Secretary Baker personally, the latter expressed his complete confidence in the outcome of the German of- j fensive. iMCeep Well ||j 2^8 poisons of undigested tetl food to accumulate in Jag *gj your bowels, where they H*Jg Bftljg are absorbed into your rags system.
