w ,iVote Will Be Deferred on
' q Extension of Draft
. T "" Age
"WILL DEPLETE CLASS!
JNo Arrangements Made for
i Emergency ftien All Are
( Gone in December
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
.BtaJT Correspondent Evenlna TuMlo Ledger
, WnsliiiiKton, June 27. Congress Is
nqt likely to change the draft nco
until It Is asked to do so by the War
Department.
Secretary Baker has requested that
no actlbn be taken until studies now
being made are completed and a ro
pqrt Is complied and a plan adopted
by the army. His request Is likely to
be complied with.
The Senate wanted an excuse for
not Increasing the draft age and Secre
tary Baker furnished one. It Is, say
the Democratic Senators and some Re
publicans, too, the business of the
Executive to say whether the reservoir
of men is large enough, whether any
emergency exists such as calls for
extending tho conscription period.
Tho Executive thrmifrh ih. e.,,.
tary of AVar and the Chief of Staff of
the
army, says mat no emergency
Mists and
tho Senate sighs a deen
sigh of relief.
Baker Explain nraft Situation
In a statement to the press Mr. Baker
put his view of the situation thus:
"I told the Committee on Military
Affairs that there were In Class 1 now.
Including those who have recently come
In by registration, men enough to pro
vide for the persons to be drafted dur
ing the remaining months of this vear
without a change of the age limit. That :llc, lmp an1 lta .e1ulPm.ent " "ame
In thv knaw ih Wn i?T,i.ii.. "nd become accustomed to ship terms,
is, tnej Knew the ar Department was , ,.,.., , , wi .'. i.
constantly anxious to expand Its mil
itary program, and that we were now
wery actively considering an Increase,
nnd If that Increase Is possible to recom
mend to them, on their return from their
recess (If they take such a recess),
further appropriations of men and
- further measures to make more men
avaiiame ror tno increased program.
v 4i -i l A.. ..'
nut mcir . nu timjite, wun me exist-
Ing size of Class 1 and with the actual
number of men In camp, of being placed
where we would not have all tho men
possible to ship abroad.
"As I understand from General
Crowder, the whole of Class 1 must be
exhausted everywhere ln the country be
fore Class 2 can ne invaded.
"I said to tho committee that the
r number of men ln Class 1 qualified for
full military service, plus those In Class
1 qualified for limited military service.
Is sufficient to meet all prospective
drafts between now and the time ln the
future when tl) committee by postpon
ing considerate now will not In any
case come a time when we will not have
plenty of men to send abroad ln all
available shipping.
War Department lias K.rpanded Flan
'"The War Department has from the
beginning been expanding Its military
(program. Wo are many months ahead
jotwhat was our original hope ln regard
Ito .,tha transportation of men. Wo are
constantly seeking ways to expand that,
Rand we are in tho midst of a plan now
?to expand It again.
p; "The reservoir of men now In camps
.Jin this country Is sufficiently large to
venable us with perfect safety to reach
tthat conclusion and put In' operation the
necessary machinery to get additional
Qmen in Class 1 In plenty of time before
.those already ln the camps could be ex-
t hauEttd."
The Issue Is singular. All that was
proposed to do was to permit tho President-
to. draw men of other ages than
'those he Is now permitted to draw. There
ifcwas nothing compulsory about It. If
jthe unexpected happened he would be
ready.
Here are the figures. The War De-
rpartment is going to sail 300,000 men
'fin August, 150,000 In September, 150,000
Jin October, 150,000 ln November and
T127.553 In December. It will then have
Jan army of 3,300.000 Americans and
tfIBO.000 Canadians and British residents
"made available under tho recent treaty
it8,450,000 in all. And Class 1 will bo Just
itexhausjed. There will be no balance ln
'the bankigor emergencies.

treat awaited them at the park, where
Ice cream, cake, candy and everything
that delights the appetite of the small

NAVAL TRAINING ISN'T EASY,
BUT SAILOR BOYS ENJOY IT
Prepare for Share in War as Strenuously as Soldiers in Camps.
Many Things to Make Landlubber Smile "Ditty Box''
Cherished Possession
rhntogrnpha Illustrating; thin
utratlng thla, story
the plctorlaii page
win ie rntir&l on
or nils Issue.
rpo THE ordinary land-lubber there
Isn't one lota's difference between the
sides of the Iron gateway that stands
two miles northeast of Cape May, N. J.,
except that on one side Is the public
highway, while on the other are th
buildings and grounds which go to make
up Wlssnhlckon navy barracks.
But to the sailor boys, In their neat
looking blue, white or khaki uniforms,
there Is vastly more difference than
that. The minute they reach the Inside
of the gate they hear the click of tho
telephono In tho gate, house as the
Junior O. D. calls to the Quartermas
ter Department:
"Ensign IJ. aboard with fifty men." or
"Three men of Company A. aboard."
While, If they are going out the gate,
that same voice lnfcrms the Quarter
master Department: "Sixty men ashore
for rifle practice."
The land-lubber may smile as he vain
ly tries tiles to Imagine a gangplank
stretched from the .dusty roadway to thr
gate house, an to feel the "ship" rock
ing beneath his feet as he walks through
the barracks.
But to the 2000 navy boys. 700 of
whom are Phlladelphlans, It Isn't a bit
funny. They are training for -their
share In the war Just ns strenuously as
the soldiers In army camps, and under
even greater difficulties, becauso they
must learn all the ship terms, the many
signals, elementary seamanship and nav
igation with only miniature or imaginary
ships to work on.
That Is why Inside the gato Is
"aboard" and everything Is kept as
"ship-shape" as possible.
Mu( .Learn Ship Terms
"You see," explained Ensign W. K.
Allen, of Philadelphia, who escorted a
party of visitors through the barracks,
"we must know the different parts of
he ship and Its equipment by name.
To two-thirds of the rookies it is almost
like learning a new language, except
the grammar Isn't so difficult. They
must know this language to become pro
ficient seamen."
Just at that moment the Junior officer
of the day (known aboard as Junior
"O. D.") at the gate house reported two
recruits aboard and the visitors watched
an nrderlv take them to thh surmlv house
i : :." . ,:. . :,
whc,rp fa?h was fl"ed w,lth ,Wo b,,ue
woolen suits, two white suits, two pairs
' ?f ,F.hoes' half a dozen pairs of socks, a
I knlfe nnd a kl''- whlch ln landlubber's
language Is a brush with which to scrub
clothes.
Perhaps the first Impression a visitor
to tho barracks gains Is the excellent
"housewifery" of the sailors. Some of
them are scrubbing all the time. If it
Isn't clotheB It is windows, floors or
tables.
"We'll make excellent husbands,"
called one of the icrubbers, smiling
above tho bucket of suds over which he
dangled a floor brush. And the officer
acceded, explaining thatevery man had
his dayB as dining-room waiters, as deck
scrubbers and window washers, and
each man had to "lash'Uhls own ham
mock and ash his own clothes. Bank
presidents' sons or boys who scrubbed
floors at home they all have It to do.
"Here Is the quartermaster depart
ment, said the ensign as he opened
the door of a wooden building re
sembling the cantonment of an army
camp. Tho forecastle, which he pro
nounced "fok-sul," might have re
sembled a dormitory when all the ham
mocks were swung, but at this time
they were rolled and tied with ship's
cord, a nondescript row hanging on a
beam across tho length of the room.
Beneath each hammock roll hung a sea
bag about the size of Uncle Sam's mall
sacks.
Neatly racked nag
Even to the most precise housewife or
practiced maid the packing of that sea
bag would be a puzzle. Kvery article
of wearing apparel the sailor possesses
aside from what he wears is kept In
this bag. Each article has to.be rolled
In Its own peculiar way In order not to
become wrinkled and so It will fit ln.
More than one landlubber would be
ashamed as he compared his own
rumpled trunk to the sailor's Immaculate
sea bag.
But It was tho sailor's ditty box that
attracted most attention. On a high
shelf Just above the hook which holds
thl hammock head when It Is swung
stands the ditty box. "Quite ordinary
looking. Isn't It?" asked the ensign as
he lifted one down and opened It. "It
Is really thq sailor's most precious pos
session, because In It he keeps his love
letters." The officer, with a certain rev
erence, turned a bunch of ribbon-tied
letters, address down, as he talked. Be
side the letters lay a shaving orush;
razor and small mirror. In the lower
compartment were handkerchiefs, sta
tionery, stray collar buttons and other
small articles,
"It Is rather like a miniature trunk,"
said the officer. "And here In the very
top compartment you usually find the
pictures of home folk." He slid back
the board that made a sort of pocket
beneath the lid of the box and the face
"rett Klrl lood. w A6
""" " ''"" 7"' "." "i"-"'""
th? ensign. "Kvery fellow has a key to
I his ditty box. but this one must have
forgotten to lock his.
"It Isn't an easy life here In tho bar
racks by any means," tho officer con
tinued as tho party went on about the
grounds. "Tho fellows are kept on the
go pretty much of the time. But the
men hero are all volunteers and deeply
Interested ln the work. They are here
for business and make the most of the
training.
Every morning at 5:30 they hit the
deck andthey are expected to dress,
lash their hammocks and have their sea
bags and ditty boxes all shipshape by
5:45, They have monkey drill for half
an hour and then there Is half an hour
to Ftnoke or scrub clothes heforo chow.
Chow, you knowis food, and wo make
no distinction between breakfast, dinner
or supper here. It Is aU chow. At
7:45 o'clock they all turn to for the
armory, where they get their rifle?,
bayonets and equipment for morning
drill. The rookes drill till 11:0, but
the school companies (Including men who
have been here eight weeks) drill only
till 10:30 o'clock. At 11:3.0 every one
knocks off for smoke and chow. And at
12:45 the classes begin,"
'utarn from Miniature Shlpa
All' the lntrlcac'es of seamanship are
gradually unfolded to the rookies In the
elementary classes, and more compli
cated details are given the, men In offi
cers' training classes. As carefully as
the c-illd Is taught his first sentences, a
chief petty officer or commissioned offi
cer drills his students. Small model
ships are placed about the classrooms,
and from these the, boys learn the namea
of, tin different parts and equipment.
They ' learn to tie knots, to know the
parts' of the box compass and what
leeway Is. They break down and build
up riles and larger guns In order to
become familiar with the parts. As they
get a general knowledge of seamanship,
they specialize in the UneH they prefer
and tha advance classes give them ex
perttraining. . '

It Combats the Film
Which Causes Tooth Troubles
A yay has been found to combat the film, the cause
of nearly all tooth troubles. It has been proved under
able authorities, by three years of clinical tests.
Millions of teeth are now protected by it. Today we
urge you to prove it by a one-week test which we supply
you free.
The thing that wrecks teeth is a slimy, clinging film.
You can feel it with your tongue. It gets into crevices,
hardens and stays, and resists the tooth brush. The
ordinary dentifrice is not sufficient. Many tooth pastes,
it is found, tend to make it more viscous and resistant to
the brush.
That film is what discolors not your teeth. It
hardens into tartar. It holds food which ferments and
forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to
cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are
the chief cause of pyorrhea. Also many other troubles
are due to them.
That film is the reason why well-brushed teeth dis
color and decay. It is the source of tartar. It stays on
your teeth until your dentist removes it.
Ordinary brushing removes loose debris, but leaves
much of that film intact. And film-covered teeth may
cause trouble. They are unclean and unsafe.
There is now a denti
frice fjr. a 1 1 e d Pepsodent

See What It Does
For Your Teeth In a Week
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albu
min. The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pep
sodent is to dissolve it. Then, by daily application, to
combat any new formation.
Ordinary pepsin will not do. Pepsin must be ac
tivated, and the usual agent 'is an acid, harmful to the
teeth.
But Pepsodent employs a harmless activating method.
Five governments have already granted patents. It is
that discovery which makes possible this effective ap
plication. The results of Pepsodent have been prpved by thou
sands of clinical tests. Not only its quick results, but its
constant results. Years have been spent in this proving.
Now it seems clear that the film problem has been
solved. The film can be combated in a most efficient
way. Countless dentists recognize this fact.
The time has come when we believe that everyone
should know it, and at once. So we are supplying a One
Week tube to everyone who asks. And this week we are
urging everyone to get it.
Present the coupon to your druggist for it. Use it
like any tooth paste and watch the results. Note how
clean your teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of
the film. See how your teeth whiten as the fixed film
disappears.
ONE-WEEK TUBE FREE
Present this coupon, with your name and address filled
in, to the druggist named. It is good' for a One-Week
Tube of Pepsodent.

LAWYER JUSTIFIES
LEGAL TECHNICALITIES
Tells State Bar Association
They Arc Necessary to
Public Welfare
Bedford Springs, r June 27.
The final session of the Pennsylvania
Bar Association convened nt 10 'o'clock
this morning. Tonight there will be a
banquet at which Governor Brumbaugh
will respond to the toast "The Common
wealth." William Watson Smith, of Pitts
burgh, delivered an Interesting address
upon "technicalities," the purport of
which was to show that the so-called
"technicalities" of the law are not at
fault, nor Justly a matter of adverse
criticism, but a necessary Incident to
this science as well as to any other
science, trade or occupation Just as
necessary as the technical rules of the
carpenter or bricklayer. He said the
decisions upon what is known as "so
cial" legislation, hours of labor, child
labor, regulation of emplovment, em
ployes' liability and similar enact
ments, are an example of quite recent
developments of tho law.
I'nder conditions of a generation or
more ago such laws would have been
pronounced unconstitutional as an In
vasion of the rights of the Individuals,
but under changed condition of today
they are held to be valid and necessary
to the public welfare.
Following the reading of the paper
there was a discussion.

TF THAT point needed
emphasis it would be
found in another column
of the first page of the
PUBLIC LEDGER this'
morning, where Raymond
G. Carroll's cable dispatch
from the American front
in France pictures in a
way that thrills, the noble
devotion of the men who
are on the firing line. He
takes the individual cases
of men who count their
lives as nothing in the
struggle for US, and
through these particular'
instances of heroism the
reader can visualize what
the whole American army
in the battle line is doing.
When you read Mr. Car
roll's dispatch you can un
derstand that those are
men "who won't come back
till it's over over there!"
