Troops World The world has been astonished at the great number of American sol diers transported to Europe in the last half year Th.e number now ap proximates ,1,500,000, and the loss of life in transporting them has been almost infinitesmal. The success with which we have moved our troops from the scattered camps in this country and across 3,000 miles of ocean to the battle front is great evidence of American-efficiency. We have not only surprised our ene mies; we -have., surprised our friends and ourseives; The Briish "co'rjtroller of shipping Sir Joseph Maclay, speaks of this movement across the sea as "A trans port miracle." ; We have been inclin ed to attribute this achievement sole ly to our-Navy and our shipping, but fheBritishT- controller speaks in high praise of the share the American rail roads had in the work. He says; "If. the American railroads had not been operated with success the whole transport movement might have fail ed, because it- was essential to quick transportation that the troops should be ready for the ships." Director General McAdoo seems justified in his, statement that while the developement of the policy of the Railroad Administration requires time prcgress has been made toward the goal. w.s.s.

' (Friday) MARRIED MEN WILL HAVE TO FIGHT MANY OUGHT TO FIGHT AS SINGLE MEN SAYS BAKER Congress Takes Up ' New Man Power Bill and Plans Separate Class For Boys Between 18 and 19. Washington, Aug. . 19 No general exemption of married men simply be cause of their married status is con templated by the War Depatment in preparing for the proposed extension of the draft ages, Secretary Baker declared today before the House Mil itary Committee, in explaining the new man-power bill. Mr. .Baker said his previous re marks on this subject had been mis construed, and that married men who do not support their families and who do not engage in useful occupation would be continue to be called. "There are many married men in this - country who ought to go and fight -as freely as single men;' he add ed. ' The War Secretary, with Generar March and Provost Marshal General Crowder appeared at open session to reiterate their statements before the Senate Military Committee in regara to the increased draft" age limits. Secretary Baker announced that, be cause of. objections to calling boys of 18, he had planned to defer calling them as long as possible, and would not oppose making a separate class for the men between 18 and 19. "There is a sentiment in the com mittee," said Mr. Baker, "I do not know how large'i'against calling men as young as 18 unless it is. absolutely necessary. - I think the sentiment of r F, G.

But" from the beginning I have planned to have men from 18 to 19 put in a separate class, with a view to postponing their call until Class .1 is exhausted of ots other strength. - "There are two ways of prosecut ing this war, " Mr. Baker said. "One way; is to make every possible effort to -da it now, and the other is to pro ceed somewhat more leisurely and do it later.' The obvious advantage from every standpoint, social, military, in dustrial .and economic is to put every effort inthis country into it, and win the war as soon as possible." Secretary Baker . added that this preference might well be left to ex ecutive regulation, but he would have no objection to having written into the bill a specific new provision to make a separate class for 18 year old youths. He explained hat in planning to sift out the new registrants .from 3 8 to 45 General Crowder already had prepared to form two classes men from 19 to 36, and those above 36; leaving those between 18 and 19 in a separate class.

' It is the desire of the Food Ad ministration that cotton bales should -be standardized at as near 500 pounds as possible , on account of the desira-, bility and necessity for covering, bagging and ties, transportation and labor in handling. At the same time 4- j-T ,3 t. ; machines of pressing large bales, ginners are authorized to refuse to pack bales containing more than 575 pounds.
