Washington, Aug 1.?War depart ment recommendations for enlarg ing the army and for the extensior Df the cft-aft age limitations in orde] to provide new reservoirs of man power to back up the forces alreadj at the front will be laid before con E*ress next week. Members of th< two military committees have beer called to Washington by the chair men in order to expedite the bill. In announcing, after a conference with Chairman Dent, of the hous< committee, that his increased armj project was virtually ready Secre tary Baker would not say what ag< figure had been settled upon nor in dicate in any way the size of th< army which he is planning. "I do not want to say what th< ages will be," he said, "because thi concurrent action of the two house is necessary to secure assent t( them. I had a conference with Mr Dent this morning and went ove with him the full plan, involving th< suggested ages. I am to have i conference with Senator Chamber lain as soon as he gets back. May Extend Both Ways. "Any suggestion to extend th draft ages is to produce in Class on an adequate number of men for th enlarged military program. If th ages are revised, they will have t be either below 21 or above 31 o both. I think it will be both." Chairman Dent was even more re ticent but said he was willing to g either up or down in extending ag limits of the draft to win the war. "My personal preference is to g up first," he added.
