THE CAPE WEEKLY TRIUNE AND THE CAPE COUNTY HERALD E?ery Friday by THE CAPE GIRARDEAU PUBLISHING COMPANY JAMES P. WHITESIDE, Editor. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR IN ADVANCE RAISING THE DRAFT LIMIT. Secretary Baker has withdrawn his opposition to the raising of the draft limit. Provost Marshal General Crowder has wanted the ages changed for some time, but has refrained from advocating, it from defer ence to his chief. However, his views have become known. Much mull ing over of ,the question has been going on in Washington, both in the de partments and among the members of congicss, especially the military committee. A bill fixing the draft ages from IS to 45 is now before the senate military affairs committee and is likely soon to be reported favor ably. There are several reasons for this change in age. In the first place it has come generally to be accepted that the proper size of the army next year should be 5,000,000 men and that 4,000.000 of these should be tailed this year. There are not enough men in class one, including the recent registrants, to yield this number, and unless the draft age is changed it will be necessary to invad the deferred classes. All that can be taken from those classes without real hardship aie being taken now by the reclassification which is in progress. Men of family and with dependents and men required in essential in dustiics should nt be compelled to gj while the older men physically fit arc exempt from conscription. That is the chief argument for raising the age. Another reason is that in our conscription exchange with our allies, our age limit should be practically th? same as theirs, to avoid inequalities and complications. These two reasons are. sufficient for tho raising of the age to 45 years or even higher, but the lowering of the limit to IS is not so easily justified. It is true thata great many boys are developed enough to make good soldiers at that age, but all are not. A large pro portion of our volunteers are under 2) years. They make th- finest kind cf soldiers when they volunteer anil .pass the required physical examina tion. Hut compulsory s'-rvieo of thos. so young is quite another matter. Lowering the age to 20 would giw the physically most mature of these and add 750,000 men. That i.; the usual ago cf military service in countries having the universal system. Keeping track cf the young men is ncccsary. Now it is impossible t ; If we i quire! be registered or not. ho reaches hi- e'ghleviith birthday, a.i automatically t b called to serv ice when ho reaches his twentieth bir.ii.Liy, no-young man would be in the doubtful class. This would automr.thvJiy eliminate the slackers, because ev, rv young man who looked old enough to be in the service would !? registered and subject to call as so n as he reached the- legal age. It is a matter in which we should be mor forehanded than we now are. Build Huge Wooden Ships ih? la st 1". " to ho turn" 1 t'ne Emergency ,-:h et Corporation.
