U. S. TO PUT 3,000,000
MEN ON FRONT LINE
* [Continued From Page One.]
features of this enlarged program was providing men. The de
sire of the administration is to establish limits, both maximum
and minimum, which will accomplish this program and at the
same time disorganize the industries of the country as little as
possible."
"The policy of the War Department is to put the maximum
number of men in 'France with the idea of shortening the war.
We found from figures furnished by the provost marshal that
we could embark on a program of eighty divisions in France by
June 30, 1919, with eighteen divisions at home. These divisions
consist of roughly 40,000 men to a division."
New Limit Necessary
"After prolonged study of the available man power of the
United States, the provost marshal general showed that it was
necessary to drop to 18 years of age and to go to 45 in order to
get the men to carry it through. All the men obtained under the
proposed change in the draft law —approximately 2,300,000—we
expect to have in France by June 30. 1919."
General March told the committee that he was unqualifiedly
in favor of having the army composed of as many young men as
possible. Young men between 18 and 20, he said, not only do not
have many encumbrances but they are better fit physically.
Program Centers in France
"The President," said General
March, resuming his statement, "has
finally announced that the American
military policy from this time on is
centered on the western front and
we have declined to be diverted from
that one thing. The War Department
has now adopted this as a policy and
it is the policy of the United States
that the military program is to he
centered in France.
"The purpose of America is to fur
nish enough manpower to whip the
Germans from now on. The only
way that Germany can be whipped is
by America's going into this thing
with her whole strength."
"Then America has got to put
enough men over there to whip Ger
many?" asked Senator Kirby.
"That is it in a nutshell." General
March replied.
Up to U. S. to Win War
"It is up to us to win the war and
we can win it. How long it will take
will depend exactly upon what we
do. If we drag along with this thing
and put a small force over there we
will be playing Germany's game. It
is my belief that with an American
army of 4.000,000 men in France un
der one commander-in-chief we can
go through the German line where
ever we please."
"This law,"the general added, "will
let us lean on Class 1 until June 30
of next year. We reached the con
clusion that the enlarged program
was necessary on July 30."
Secretary Baker explained the
steps that ied up to the change in the
military program.
80-l)ivision Program Minimum
"After the recess of Congress," the
Secretary said, "the study of the
situation went on and a few days ago
it became clear to us that the eighty
division program was perhaps the
maximum which we could possibly
hope to accomplish and that to ac
complish that it would be necessary
to change the age limits from the
present limits to 18 to 45."
Secretary Baker said he asked the
surgeon general for a formal opin
ion as to what changes he would
reconmended, to which the surgeon
general suggested the ages 18 to 45.
"The bill as it is written meets
with my entire approval," declared
Secretary Baker.
Believes Bill Essential
Asked by Senator Johnson, of Cali
fornia, if he believed the pending
bill was essential to carry out the
purposes for which the United Stales
entered the war, Secretary Baker
replied:
"I believe that to be the fact. My
own judgment about it originally was
that 19 should be the minimum and
I came to the 18 minimum only af
ter thorough study of the situation
and with some reluctance, but finally
believing it to be necessary to secure
the appropriate number of men."
The committee's action in report
ing the bill, the report says, is "based
upon the necessity of the govern
ment in this crisis and upon the
opinion of the Secretary of War,
the chief of staff and provost mar
shal general that it would be better
to extend the draft ages than to "in
vade those classes which have been
deferred by law and by regulations
of the War Department."
Regarding the work or fight
amendment of Senator Reed, provid
ing for withdrawal of deferred '-las
sification from men nbsent from
work without cause, the report says:
"Work or Eight" Explained
"It seems to the committee that
'in view of the faet we are about to
authorize the drafting of boys be
tween the ages of 18 and 21 as well
as those above 21 up to and inclusive
of 45 and are providing for the ex
emption of men between 18 and 45
who are engaged in useful and neces
sary occupations for actual service
in the ranks, that when any are ex
empted solely from the cause their
services are more valuable to the
nation in the production of things
essential to the prosecution of the
war, that when they cease in good
faith to follow the essential occupa
tion they ought to be subject to the
draft as in other cases.
Must Work Steadily
"The young man not engaged in
these occupations must wear the
uniform, enter the ranks and hare
his breast to "the weapons of German
arms. He cannot refuse to work
even for an hour and he Is com
pelled to fight whether he feels dis
posed to do so or not. In view of
this, when a young man is exempted
from the draft solely in order that
he may engage in an essential indus
try, he ought to c-ritinue in that em
ployment in <rooth faith while any
grievance is being adjusted by the
industrial hoard, and he fails to do
so he ought to be si:'\lect to draft.
Idlers Fall Into Draft
"The provision does not pretend
to interfere with the right of any
man to cease labor when any man
pleases to do so, but simply says to
him that if he does cease be shall,
under such regulations aw the Pres
ident may prescribe, subject himself
to the draft as though he had not
been exempted in the first instance."

M'ADOO DEMANDS
80 PER CENT. TAX
ON WAR PROFITS
Only Way to Raise Justly the!
Eight Billion Dollars
Required
Washington, Aug. 15. —An insist
ent demand for a high tax on all war
profits as the basic principle of the
new $8,000,000,000 war revenue bill
was made by Secretary of the Treas
ure McAdoo in a four-hour confer
ence with the House Ways and Means
committee. The Secretary advocate '
a tax of 80 per cent, flat on war prol
its and the retention of the existing
graduated tax on excess profits, with
modifications to make it equitable.
Under the scheme outlined by Mr. I
McAdoo and urged as imperative to j
yield $8,000,000,000 revenue for 1919, !
all corporations profiting through
war industry would be subject to an
alternative tax. Under the existing
law, Mr. McAdoo pointed out, many
powerful corporations escape their
proportionate share of the taxation,
while weaker concerns are overtaxed.
He wanted the schedule readjusted
so that the richer corporations would
bear the brunt of the tax.
