DRAFT METHODS CHANGED.
Registrants Will Not Have to Claim
Exemption.
Washington, Aug. 9.-?New draft
regulations under which the government
would do the selecting rather
than leaving it to the registrants, are
under consideration by the war department.
This was disclosed today
by Secretary Baker after he had ap%
peared before the Senate military
committee to urge prompt enactment
of the new selective service act extending
the age limits to include all
men between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five.
"The war secretary made it plain
that he is not satisfied with the present
system under which the regis7-ni-ic<+
nloim r?oforrOfl f>1 a sai fi Pa
11 CLXA t UlUOt VlMiui vkv*w VM.
tion, as njany men with dependents
hesitate, for patriotic reasons, to
make such a claim. In this connection
Mr. Baker said he was inclined
'to the opinion that the marriage relation
will in itself constitute deferred
classification.
What Mr. Baker has in his mind
is to lay down a set of questions
which the registrant would answer,
and then have rules which would
take care of the classification. He i$
understood to regard this as the fair
and equitable system.
The discussion on the draft ages
before the senate committee, Mr.
Baker said, followed much the lines
taken by Gen. March, chief of staff,
and Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder.
"There was some discussion," Mr.
Baker said, "as to whether it was the
intention of the department to extend
the work or fight order to include
classes of persons in various professional
occupations. I told them there
was no present cnange 01 me w orn ui
fight order in contemplation. I said
that when I decided the baseball case
I thought, perhaps, other forms of
amusement and entertainment might
require an extension of the order to
he on a parity with the baseball
situation. But that was not in their
mind.
"They had heard from outside
sources that the department was considering
bringing professional classes,
like lawyers, newspaper men and
others who were not actually engaged
in producing war supplies, under the
order."
Effect on the Colleges.
The committee, Mr. Baker continued,
was especially interested in the
effect of the extension of draft on colleges,
and also in the question as to
whether young men from eighteen up
\ jvould be drawn indiscriminately in
class 1 or placed in a deferred class
by age and drawn later, giving them
some added months to come to maturity.
"I_told the committee," said the i
war secretary, "that no fixed policy
had been determined upon by the de;
partment, but that the purpose was
to allow the president to defer in
class 1 the call of the younger men.
I have always considered, as you '
perhaps, remember, that nineteen was
the proper minimum, and I have
come to the eighteen minimum only
because it seems necessary to get
the men."

?ob Sinks Nine Fishing Boats.
yv;
Nantucket, Mass., Aug. 11.?Nine
fishing schooners were sunk off George's
Banks today by a German
.submarine, a naval scout boat which J
put in here tonight reported. b
The scout boat picked up word of "
the raid from the auxiliary fishing
.schooner Helen Murley, which had
Tescued four survivors and was taking
them to an Atlantic port. Six
auxiliary fishing schooners and other
craft sailed at once from this port to
pick up survivors.
George's Banks are sixty miles off
this island.
Prisoners for Sliort Time.
Washington, Aug 11.?Coming to
the cnrfaoo in thp mirisit nf a. flp.At of
fishing schooners off the Massachusetts
coast, a German submarine today
sunk nine vessels of the fleet, the
navy department tonight announced.
The schooners sunk included the
Kate Palmer, the Amita May, the Reliance,
the Star Buck and the Progress.
The names of the other four
ships were not contained in navy department
dispatches.
Four survivors from the crew of
the Kate Palmer were picked up by
the fishing schooner Helen Murphy
and have reached port in safety. No
information had been obtained by the
navy department tonight as to the
fate of the crews of the other schooners.
i
/\ After the crew of the Kate Palmer
had!been taken aboard the submarine
and held prisoner for one
hour, they were set adrift in a small
boat.

ARMY OF 5,000,000.
NTe\t Spring to Witness Terrific Conflict
in France. |
Washington, Aug. 7.?Backed by a
reservoir of 5,000,000 American
troops, Field Marshal Foch, supreme j
commander of the American and Al-j
lied armies, is preparing to hurl the
entire united military strength of;
France, Great Britain and the United!
States against the Germans on the;
western front in order to bring the;
war to a victorious conclusion in the
shortest possible time. Next spring j
will see the terrific conflct, already ,
in progress on the Aisne-Vesle line,!
ill tun swing, wun r ocn s armies;
striking with all their power.
Views of Gen. March.
This was the impression gained today
by members of the senate mili-!
tary committee who heard Gen. i
March, chief of staff, explain in ex-i
ecutive session the war department's;
reason for asking extension of draft j
age limits to include all men between!
18 and 45 years of age. They learned
also that the definite decision to enlarge
the American military, programme
to an army of 5,000,000 men
was reached about July 30, and is in
accordance with an agreement reached
in Paris shortly before that time.
American officials who continuous- i
ly have pressed for a vigorous aggessive
campaign at the earliest possibe
moment and with attention concentrated
on the western front, be-j
lieve that enough could be done this i
year to prepare the way for a smash- \
ing military triumph next year when j
the full American army becomes j
available. The period of time cov-i
ered by estimates for equipment and.
transportation of troops under the'
enlarged army plan is understood to"
carry it up to next spring.
Three Million to France.
As the project is understood, although
no details were obtainable, it
is contemplated to place an army of
substantially . 3,000,000 American
troops in France before the spring
campaign opens, backed by 2,000,000
more at home, moving forward as
needs. In this connection intimations
that the British have made extraordinary
efforts to concentrate
troops on the western front in the
last few months become increasingly
significant. Coupled with the French
and American efforts, this gives
promise of such overwhelming forces
in the battle next year that*a comparatively
short and bitter fight may
see the issue decided and the German
army driven beyond the Rhine
if it is not destroyed in the field.
In his mid-week conference with!
newspaper men later in the day Gen.
March dealt with the battle situation j
in general terms and referred to hisi
appearance before the senate commit-1
tee only to deny a report that he had j
fixed the military programme at
landing eighty-four American divisions
in France by next May. He had
made no such statement, he said.
