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.
