WILL HAVE ARMY OF 4 WASHINGTON, June 19. The present schedule of the war depart ment la said to contemplate the arming of f.000,000 men by next January 1. That would' mean the calling of 1,000,000 men between July and January, and the absorbing not only of the men remaining In ; class 1 from the first registration. but of those placed in that class un der the recent registration, as well as some 200,000 expected to be put In that class as the result ot the re classification recently ordered. ' Should congress decide that It is necessary at this time to extend the draft age limits below 21 or above! 30, or both, no opposition will be of fered by the war department. ' In authorizing 'this statement to day Secretary Baker said the de partment could see no immediate need for such action, although, the date already is in sight when it will become necessary to replenish the class 1 reservoir. A bill by Senator France," of Siary-I land to "extend the draft to men from 18 to 46 Is now before the senate military, committee,, and at a hear ing on it last Saturday, Provost Mai': shal General Crowder gave it as his opinion that extension of the draft ages would be necessary. All previous estimates of the de partment relating to manpower .ave been based solely upon the men in class I.- General Crowder stated spe-J cincally In his report on the first draft that it would be the policy of j his department to refrain from touching the other classes. - The present emergency, hnwever, with its resultant demands for the speedy organization of forces' far In excess of the number contemplated. have upset these decisions. Officials here have always de clared that the difference between members of class 1 and class 2, from the viewpoint of eligibility for service, was to minute to be seri ously considered. The invasion of this class, it is said, would not affect the economic machinery of the na tion to any disastrous degree. Congress is to be asked by the war department for an appropriation to provide training facilities in this country for forces other than Ameri can troops. This was learned authoritatively today, but It wag said that no defin ite project has been discussed, nor has the matter reached the point where it has been the subject of dip lomatic communication. The natural assumption le! tliat any troops to' be trained here would come f rom.some , one of the nations In the western hemisphere who hav.3 Join ed the "allies..;...; It Is reported that the request for the appropriation will be niade before the ' present .'session.', or con gress end,' '" MEETING LAST NIGHT A special meeting of the Roseburg school board was held last night at which the vote of the recent school mSetlne was" canvassed, y A N.

'. :..::.'-. -i !.': "'...; SURGEONS AT FRONT . -1 . ' FRENCH FRONT,' 'June '19. Marvels are being performed by. the surgeons attached to the various en tente armies. By exercising their skill they have restored to the fight ing Btrength of the allied nations each year since the beginning of the war, a whole division of men who-in other wars would have died of their wounds or would have been -crippled for life. ., . - The recent gigantic battle, as the result of which more wounded men than ever before have 'received sur gical treatment within a short space bt"' time, have ; demonstrated the Immense strides' jnade, not only In surgery, but In tne methods of re moving tho wounded from. the. battle Held and1 transporting them to nos nltals.. So effective, is. the co-opera tion between surgeons and physicians at tho front and those at the hospitals In the roar that an Immensely large proportion of the wounded recover than otherwise was the case at the beginning of the war., ,. Men whose legs or arms have been fractured by shell, now are restored to their regiments in a minimum of time. This is due mostly to the fact that thev receive prompt treatment and surglcnl attention which prevent'! blood-poisoning and the stiffening or articulation. Their recovery Is rapid where they can be treated under com fortable conditions ' far from,' the nerve wrecking sound of guns. . Soldiers have been inspired with confidence In the army surgeons In the great battle around Verdun and In tho great German offensive which began In March.' " Promptness In the (reatmont of wounded men has been obtained by segregating them In classes accord ing to the nature of their wounds. This was not generally donb at the beginning of the war. The plan then in vogue was to erect large hos pitals as near the fighting lines as possible, say ten or twelve lnllos from the front, and to send all classes there for treatment. When the bat tles occurred these hospitals . were over-crowded and owing to the de lay ill operating there were many cases of gangrene, tetanus and other Infections that resulted fatally. , IS POSING AS SOLDIER There aro all kinds ot ways of making money In this world, but It seems to us that the. most nefarious we have ever heard of Is that of the crook, undor the guise of a soldier of the United StateB whojs secur ing aid from, the Red Cross, and playing upon the sympathy of young girls for help. . . . . . .: It is to be hoped that the perpe trator of thiB diabolical - work will soon be caught and brought to jus tice spee llly.
