Such deference, however, will not extend beyond early next spring. This announcement was made to the house com mittee on military affairs by Secretary pf War Baker today. , He . also said that the nere fact that a man was married was not,, gen erally, a reason for his exemption from call. ,; ' ' ' " There are many married men in this country who ought to fiuht as freely as single men," said Daker, "and those who do not support their families and are not engaged in useful occupations will he called. There will be no general exemption of married men sim- " ply because they are married." ( )n the subject of the younger youths who will be included in the draft the secretary of war said that those of eighteen or nine teen years would probably be placed in deferred classifications. To this lie added: "But, as General March has told you, the war pro gram is to put eighty divisions of United States troops into France lis next June. To do this we shall needjvery unmarried man in class one between the ages of eighteentiekd forty4i,e years who is physically fit for service and not retuire8ratMRnleffi pursuits that j are essential W the winning of the war. We must not, therefore, ' delude ourselves into the belief that the call for our youths of eigh teen and nineteen can be long deferred.
