MATRON IS SUICIDE,
AURORA, 111., Nov. 27.—Mrs. Lil- ■
lian Stiles was found dead in a hotel
here, having committed suicide by j
poison. A note she had written to a:
friend asked that her body be crema-'
t -d and the ashes thrown into Lake
Michigan.
A dozen years ago Mrs. Stiles, a so
ciety beauty and wife of a prosperous
business man, eloped with Herbert!
Crane, millionaire. Mrs. Crane sued '
for divorce and Mrs. Stiles took simi
lar action. The trials of tjiesc suits
created a sensation at the time, owing
to the social prominence of the prin
cipals. Mrs. Stiles and Crane took up ]
their residence at the latter’s country*
home. Several years ago Mrs. Stiles .
quietly returned to her old home at'
St rent or, II., and some time ago Mr. j
Crane married the daughter of a
wealthy Costa Rica planter. A year
e.go Mrs. Stiles went to live with
friends at Evanston.
She registered at a hotel here and
when she failed to appear in the
morning the room was entered and
the body and the note were found.

MAY RAISE I
DRAFT AGE
TO FORTY
—
WASHINGTON, I). C\, Nov 27. —
Shall the present selective conscrip
tion act be amended? Shall the ages'
of those subject to its operations be
revised both upward and downward?
These are to be among the big cjues- ;
tions argued as soon as congress as
sembles for its regular sesison in Do-j
cember. Congressman Julius Kahn has
announced his intention of proposing
an amendment to compel the registra
tion of all citizens from 18 to 40 in- j
elusive, giving America a reserve of1
21,000,000 to draw upon. The present
ages are from 21 to 31.
The war department's original plan
was for men from 18 to 25. There
was objection to taking those who did
not yet have a vote, and Congress!
made the act to read from 21 to 40. ‘
Then there was objection that be
tween the ages of 31 and 40 a vast
majority of men had dependent fam
ilies. So the present figures were fi
nally reached.
Right after Kahn announced his in
tention of proposing an amendment!
in December it was stated that Sec
\ it:tary of War Baker was opposed to
'any change. Kahn wired back from!
! California that at least part of his,
(amendment was misunderstood. Hoi
I doesn’t mean boys from 18 to 21 shall
I be sent into the trenches, but lie does
i want them registered and given pre
1 liminary training, so that when they
• become 21 they will be ready to take
! their places in the lighting lines. He
I also said that no man over 31 would
bo called for active service until those
| fa the present draft limits hud all
I b<«n called up for examination and
• possible service.
“We must make preparations,” said
i Kahn, “as if the war were going to
! last forever. That will be the surer
I way to bring the war to a successful
end and to establish a peace that will
last.

HUMAN WAR MATERIAL
LONDON, Nov. 27. — Germany to
! day, according to high sources of in
formation, has 0,800,000 men as the
“human material” with which to car
j ry on the war. This is the man pow
’ er that remains out of a total of 14,
000,000 men who have figured on the
German military lists. Of the 0,800,
000, approximately 5,.700,000 are ac- j
1 tually at the front, and 000,000 more
; are in reserve. The remaining TOO,- j
; 000 constitute one of the greatest
! tragedies of the war. They are the |
boy soldiers of the class of 1019-192. j
They constitute the only resource of j
“human material” upon which Ger- j
many has to draw.
