dent Wilson today Indorsed the national
woman's suffrage amendment and ex
pressed the hope . It will be passed by
the senate at this session.
Suffragtsta believe it maiies the
amendment an adminlstratlonieasure
and predict the president's indorsement
will give It the necessary otes. .The
amendment haa passed the house and Us
friends had planned to force a vote to

pears reasonably certain.
The president's Indorsement , Is' con-

War Department
Is Expected to
Ask Draft Limit
18 to 49 Years
New Legislation to Be Launched
in December Short Session,
According to Prediction.
Washington. June 13. (U. P.) That
the war department will ask changes In
the draft law so as to Include all men
between the ages of 18 and 45 or 49
years was the forecast of well informed
congressional leaders today.
The new legislation, which would
place the draft on the same basis as
that of Great Britain and facilitate the
operation. of the Interallied draft treat
ies. Is expected to be launched in the De
cember "short session."
In the meantime a campaign of edu
cation is to be conducted to inform the
country of the need for raising the draft
agea
These reasons Include the probable de
ntation of Class 1 this year and the
necessity for going into deferred class
locations unless draft limits are broad
ened. "Provost Marshal General Crowder has
no desire to go into deferred classifica
tions." said Representative Kahn of the
house military committee today.
Members of the senate foreign rela
tions committee today said that ratifi
cation of the draft treaty with Great
Britain and Canada "would Impose a
moral obligation on tne United States
to raise the draft age."
Under an agreement among all the
allied nations it is understood the mil
itary service ages of all the nations
are to be made uniform.
Ratification is the first step in add
ing nearly 700,000 men to the Ameri
can or allied armies, from the popula
tion of this country, officials said.
Under the proposed plan aa congress
leaders understand it, not all the men
thus rendered liable for service would be
put Into the army. Military service. It
Is stated, would- not go beyond 35 nor un
der 21, under the present plan, but the
listing of men between 18 and 4 would,
provide first a vast reservoir of young
men for training who would be instantly
available for military duty as they be
came 31 and, second, a great number of
men capable of preforming other service
upon which the effectiveness of the
army depends.
It was stated that the measure would
also provide for ' training those below
21 for a specified period.
Supporters of universal training to-
r day predicted that the bill wUl form
the ground work for. a permanent sys
tem of military training.
Under thr proposed law. the question
of -mUltarj serrtoe for the "Irishmen
in this country will "be settled, since no
matter what Great Britain does about
conscripting them in their own country
they wlIT be liable to military service.

The "open door" to oriental trade Is

China Is In danger 6f losing her Inde

of the Y. M. C. A., who has Just re

Portland is the first city in which Mr.

he landed, and he is to make but one
other stop, at Denver, on his way to
New York.
"There is a grave crisis In the Far
East," said Mr. Eddy at the Hotel Port
land, this morning.
"The great republic of China, after
4000 years of continuous history sur
viving. 24 long dynasties and three presi
dents of the new regime, is In danger
today of losing her independence. While
the western nations are occupied by
war in Europe. China haa been divided
by internal warfare between the north

famine and flood, plague and poverty.
In her present helpless plight, with none
of the western nations able to help her.
she has been losing her priceless treas

America has contended since the days
