' Rapid progresa ln classifying; and examining: draft registrants from 19 to 3? years old has focussed atten tion upon probable future calls to the colors of registrants between the ages of SI to 45. The age limits of the next groups to b* called by th? President have been practically determined upon It la understood that the registrant? between 37 and 48 will be called out In two separate groups, on different dates. The purpose Is to have the entire U. 00 0,0 00 registrants care fully combed to get is many flt Class 1 men of all draft ages In the shortest time possible. Naturally the next call would in clude the younger ages In the S7 to 45 group. The older registrants will be called last and If they are not required for overseas service there will be plenty of Important military work for them to perform In this country. Young men who will attain their nineteenth year In the next few months will become available as fighting material In the meantime. There la no Intention of Inducting into the service registrants under 19 at any time. The same policy will be pursued in future calls as has been followed In the past. Only the Class 1 men will be subject to Immediate ex amination and service. Technically, however, every man who registered September 1? I, now part of the country's military establishment. The "work or flght" regulations ap plied to the previous draft are tn full force and effect. Roughly estimated, there are now S.3110,000 men In the army. Ap proximately 2.no0,0OD are ln France.

Secretary McAdoo yeeterday urged upon the Senate Finance Commi?? early action on tbe new war revenue bill to avert a grove peril to the successful financial conduct of the war. In a letter to Senator 8 i minons, chairman of the committee. Mr. Mc Adoo declared that the estimate of ?$24,000,000.000 expenditures for the year ending June 10, 1919, Is based on sound grounds, and If there is a mistake lt is ln underestimating rather than overestimating war ex penditures. Committee members, while ready to act as expeditioualy as posalble. were not at ell flattered by the re ceipt of the letter from the Secre tary of the Treasury They have been having Ions; sessions dally for the conslde ration of the measure, which in the opinion of some, con tains many doubtful provisions. some perhaps unconstitutional. Republican committee members have declared the measure is as loosely drawn and as full of im perfections xm the first war revenoe act, which was entirely rewritten by the Senate committee, and be lievs that this bill must be whipped into shape before It Is a Just and equitable measure. The Finance Committee has no Idea of wasting time on the bill, but, ln the opinion of the majority, tt cannot be reported to the Senate and passed be fore tne fall elect ions. The commit tee will continue to hold long sessions daily, however, and under the urge or the Treasury Department it Is possi ble the bill will be ready for consid eration in two weeks. If there Is no fight on the floor of the Senate over its provisions. It is highly probable that tt will pass the Senate within a day or two after ft is presented, and the delay. If there be any, will be due to disagreement I'-tween conferees. The last war revenue art was de layed ln conference on account of the antagonistic attitude of the House conferece, and If this bill brings a repetition of that long and bitter con troversy, it has no possible chance of enactment before election day.
