Discussing . enlargement of the age limit for selective, military service, Provost Marshal General Crozier said: “A pronounced majority of the boards favor some enlargement, but there is great diyersity of opinion as to thé proper age limit. Nineteen and 35 are perhaps the limits most fre- quently suggested; but some recom- mend 40 or 45 years as the upper limit. There is a distinctly strongey demang for raising the maximum age than for lowering the minimum.” Gen. Crozier estimates that 1,389,388 acceptable single men would be made available by an increase in the age limit to include men up to 45 years. The ‘estimate places the number of acceptable ‘single men between 18 and 21 years at 1546,283. The number of probably acceptable single men al- ready registered but not called is 1,321845. According to these figures, should the age limit be enlarged (o include men of from 18 years to 45 years inclusive 4,257,516 physically and otherwise qualified unmarried men would be open for call to service.
