Chairmen Chamberlain of the Senate Military Committee introduced a bill to register all men who turned 21 since March 11 1917 when the draft began. A second bill would furlough National Army men for crop harvests. A third proposal would base state quotas on available first class men rather than population. The department rejected plans to draft men over 31 and estimates adding about 700000 eligible draftees yearly.
