M. L. Hutton, pastor of the Riverside
Congregational church, has taken. his
follow pastor, Rev. J. D. Lewellen,
pastor of the Anbury Mothodlst
church, to task for his criticism of
the distribution of cigarettes to sol
diers. On laBt Sunday, it is stated, Rev.
Mr. Lewellen, following a talk by
Lleuetnant McKlnrion, a Canadian of
ficer touring the stata for tho Red
Cross, who in his talk declared the
cigarettes given the men a great com
fort, criticized the practice, Tho talks
were made at the annual convention
of the Hood River County Sunday
School association. Lieutenant Mo
Klnnon, accompanied by Rev. Mr.
Hutton, who was also a speaker at
tfie convention, left Immediately after
the officer had spoken. The Sunday
school delegates adopted a resolution
condemning the practice of distribut
ing cigarettes. ' .
"It is narrow and nonsenscial," is
the way Rev. Mr. Hutton character
izes Rev. Mr. Lewellen's action, "for a
preachor, amid flowers and flags,
6000 miles away, to condemn the giv
ing of cigarettes to the soldiers in
the trenches. Those boys should be
permitted to have any comfort they
want whllo they are engaged In
shooting hell out of the kaiser."

Age Limit In Army
May Be Raised for
Men of 55 Years
DRAFTED INDIAN
LOOKS FOR GOOD
OF DEMOCRATS
WASHINGTON, May 27. Another
move toward fall utilization of the
country's man power was made today
when Secretary Baker sent to Con
gress the draft of a bill proposing to
raise the maximum age limit for vol
untary enlistment In the Army from
40 to 55 years. All men over 40 so
enlisted would be assigned to non
combatant service.
In a letter to Speaker Clark asking
that the bill be pushed,, Secretary
Baker said:
"Every man above the age of 40
years who is enlisted In non-combatant
branches of the service will make
available for duty with the line troops
a man within the prescribed age limit
for all troops.
"Many men whose long experience
as mechanics and artisans will make
them particularly valuable to the var
ious staff corps and departments may
be thus secured Instead of younger
men without such, experience and the
efficiency of the staff corps and the
departments thus will be Increased."
There are probably 7,500,000. man
between the ages of 40 and 65 and
many thousands of them have already
attested desire to serve by bombard
ing the department with applications.
While the great majority of the men
In his class undoubtedly will be re
strained from enlisting b,y family and
business ths. the . number .at liberty
to Join the colors is expected to be
more than sufficient to meet the pur
pose in view.
