he had seen at the Red Cross hospital
No. 2 in the Toul sector where he was
stationed.
"Men with great holes in their ab
domen's," said Bishop Francis, "are
soon made fit again, while bullets
through the neck, which formerly
would have been, considered more
than grave, are treated lightly by the
wonderful surgeons who are 'making
over' the men mangled in the great
war for democracy.
"When I saw what the marines did
at Chateau Thierry it made me thrill
with pride and there have been many
occasions since when an equal pride
possessed me because of the wonder
ful work of the boys of the new army
who are fightingso gallantly."

13,000,000 MEf)
TO BE ENROLLED
UNDER NEW LAW
New Draft Needed by October
1 and Registration Planned
for September 5 If It
Be Possible.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 15. Provost
Marshal Gneral Crowder announced
today that plans already have been
made for registering the 13,000,000
additional men which he estimates
will be brought under the selective
service law when congress enacts
the pending bill extending the age
limits to include men between 18 and
45 years. From this number approx
imately 2,000,000 qualified for full
military service are expected to te
secured.
So urgent is the need for additional
nympower, General Crowder said,
that the draft machinery is being put
into shape for the great task ahead
without waiting for the final action
by congress. Men of the new draft
will be needed by October 1, and in
order to get them registration day.
will have to be held not later than
September 15 and if possible Septem
ber 5 will be fixed as the day.
When the 13,000,000 men are en
rolled, nearly 25,000,000 will ha c jien
registered since the United Statca
enterei'. the v- . There ve. ; cu.n.
10,000,000 enrolled on the first regis
tration day, June 5, 191T, -noth:r
600,0j last June 5, and several hun
dred thousand more are cxpectc J t.i
be enrolled gust 24.
Boards Begin Preparations.
"Preliminary steps have been taken
by the provost marshal general," said
General Crowder's statement, "tj pro
vide for the registration of those men
who will be affected by the act which
congress is expected shortly to pass
extending the age limits of the selec
tive draft.
"State headquarters, local boards,
and other officials in the various states
have been advised to hold themselves
in readiness to proceed promptly
with their work as soon as congress
has acted and the president by proc
lamation has fixed the date of regis
tration. "Until the legislation is actuall
passed, it cannot be stated with exact
ness, of course, what the new age lim
its will be. But because of the t..
gency of the situation it is essential
that as much of the preparator- work
as possible be done at this time in
order that the administration may
promptly avail itself of the new law.
To that end, now, as in the past, the
utmost reliance is placed on the Amer
ican people to supply the necessary
co-operation and team work.
"The situation is urgent because by
October 1, Class 1, under the age lim
its of the original act, will have been
entirely exhausted. Unless there is
to be a very serious interruption in
the flow of American troops to the
camps and thence across the seas to
France, Class 1 must be replenished
at the earliest possible moment by
available men both below and above
the present age limits of 21 and 31
There is, literally, no time to b lost
"The bill which has been introduced
in congress at the request of the War
department would fix the new age
limits at between 18 and 45 years.
That is to say, it would include, in
addition to the men within the pres
ent limits, those between 32 and 45,
inclusive, (14 annual classes) and
those between 18 and 20, inclusive,
(three annual classes).
"These limit were suggested to
congress by the War department be
cause the military man ppwer pro
gram of the United States requires
the now nearly depleted reservoir
of Class 1 men shall be replenished
by more than 2,000,000 men available
for full military service. On the
basis of actuarial figures from in
surance companies, census computa
tions and the experience of this office
in the previous registration, it has
been estimated that the required
number of men for Class 1 may be
had only by including within the draft
age limits men between 32 and 45,
and between 18 and 20. That is to
say, approximately 13,000,000 men
must be added to the list of reg
istrants in order that with all ex
emptions allowed, at least 2,000-,000
men will remain in Class 1.
