EXTENSION OF DRAFT TO YIELD 7,000,004 The Exension of Draft Advocated by Secretary Baker Would Give a >Iinmam Army of 7,000,000 Men and ?< Maximum Army Anywhere From x. "K'i V.'llUn :rweive iw rmmi jumuu, Washington. Aug.?An army of 7,?^00,000 fighting men will ibe one re'suit of the extension of the draft ages between 18 and 45, in the opinion or: war department officials. Th?s is the minimum figure and it me&ns that every man of the seven jniBions will be of the type and phvs^qfue of those now on the 'battle front fas "Prance. MHitary men believe the class of 15 'to 20 will yield 2,000,000 young men. From the class of 21 to 31 the country has already taken 3,000,000 youths of the best soldierly material in history, almost all of whom are now in France. The class of 31 to 45 is set ^down fpr another two million men. ^Jnder the present plans, which pro"ride that the boys of from 18 to 20 s^iall be trained here, the United States will have the largest reserve army the world has ever seen. In one respect the tremendous fig7 ures recall Presdent Wilson's "inter*" rogatory answer" with reference to * the "army when he said: *'W&y"limit to five million?'' " They mean the possibilities of our """army are practically without limit. The "7,OOO;O0O could be increased to ' eight, nine, ten, eleven or even twelve ~ million if nee^ "be.

At a time when the question oj race s-icide is becoming of increasing national importance, it is of some in. terest to study the causes that make for the reducion of families. The modern woman, standing in the midst of the business world, lending her help to all social activities, often al: lesres that the duties of child bearing 1 and child rearing would make it impossible for her to take her place in that large world to which her education and her ambition call her. She claims that the narrow round of I duties in her own nursery are quite too petty and insignificant to help I her become a leader and arbiter in | the destinies of men. Let her study (the life of Cleopatra as portrayed by Theda Bara in the William Fox film j version of the great Egyptian queen, who played with love and life as if they were mere counts, ^ot only was I i she the center of a great court, excell' * ?1? i - ? i ? :c ~~ oil ing ir spienaor ana uia-gni"?-;ciicc an j modern royalty. :Xot only did the faU ; of Egypt's independence from the j grasping hand of Rome lie on her 'shoulders, but she found time to sur| round with loving care and solicitude ! her four children. The eldest of tfresa, jCaesarion, was her particular favorite.' She tcok him with her to Rome; she associated him with herself in the sovereignty of Egypt. In the great temple at Dendara a national monument of his,profile figures next to her own as a permanent memento of a mother's love for her eldest born.
