— 23 Years and Under
A dozen or more marriage licenses
were issued in Oklahoma City yes-
terday, and all the grooms except one
were 23 years of age and under. Looks
as if the boys are getting somebody
dependent upon them so they won't
have to go to war. Elder J. W. Linton
married a similar couple from Okla-
homa City last evening—R. L. Pack,
22, and Miss Harriet Ginn, 20. They
returned to their homes happy, on the1
fi o'clock car.
Raising Age Limit
Now It Ik Said All Young Men from
19 to 25 Will Be Called to the
Colors—Volunteers Asked
Pint
Washington, April 5.—How the
government plans to raise a war army
of a million men within a year and of;
2,000,000 within two years was dis-
closed upon the passage of the war
resolution by the house.
A bill prepared by the general
staff, approved by the president for
submission to congress provides for1
the immediate filling up of the regu-1
lar army and national guard to war1
strength of more than 800,000 by (
draft unless enough volunteers en-
list quickly and for bringing into the
service by late summer of the first j
500,000 of the new force of young men.
between the ages of 19 and 25 years,
to be called to the colors by selective |
conscription.
In drafting its program the staff j
recognized the fact that the United!
States must start at the beginning!
and train first an army of 100,000 of-1
ficers and non-commissioned officers'
to undertake the training of the thou-
sands of youths who will enter the
service with no notion of military
duty or life.
Expansion of the present regular
army to its full war strength of
287,000 enlisted men and 11,700 of-
ficers means many new regiments of
all arms to be created by dividing ex-
isting regiments and fill each half to
war strength with volunters or con-
scripts. The national guard regiments
all of which can be called in the fed-
eral service under the existing laws,
will have approximately 327,000 men
and 10,300 officers at war strength.
No new regiment of the guard will be
organized and the full limit of the na-
tion defense act would be invoked to
wipe out any distinction between fed-
eral and state forces. Here also vol-
unteers would be received and draft-
ing resorted to only when necessary.
Those two steps would provide a
total force of 614,000 men and 22,000
officers to be supplemented by a re-
cruit organization for each unit, mak-
ing an additional 200,000 men in
training, but to be held in reserve to
fill gaps in the active army as they oc-
curred.
For five months these expanded
forces will be subjected to training of
a character hitherto unknown in this
country. Simultaneously the registra-
tion of all men between the ages of 19
and 25 will be carried out with fed-
eral, state and municipal authorities
co-operating, so that in the second
year a similar force could be secured.
"Lena Rivers."
Will Be the Bill at the Franing
Tonight (Friday)—Fine Troupe
Give Fine Entertainment.
The Met. Dramatic troupe opened
their Norman engagement at the
P'raning last night with "The Rosary,"
rendering that celebrated play with a
excellence equal to many of the best
high-priced troupes. Every actor and
actress was proficient and efficient
in their part, and the show in its en-
tirely came fully up to expectations.
Tonight (Friday) the bill is the new-
version of the "Lena Rivers" found-
ed on the great novel of that name by
Mrs. Mary J. Holmes. It is one of
their best plays, and those who at-
tend may be sure of an excellent en-
tertainment.
Tomorrow night (Saturday) the
laughter-provoking comedy "The Joy-
riders" will be the play, and those
who enjoy a good laugh can get it to
their heart's content.
Special prices of 15c cents for
adults; 5 cents for children.
Wife Revokes Gifts
Mrs. Harriet Dunn lrby, pioneer
newspaper woman of Oklahoma
City, who committed suicide at An-
derson, S C., February 27, wrote a
codicil to her will the day before her
death, revoking gifts she had made
to her husband and his daughter. The
will was filed in county court, Okla-
homa City, for probate, Thursday.
Mrs. Irby shot herself while on her
honeymoon shortly after her marriage
to Robert F. Irby, of the cotton firm
of Harris, Irby & Vose. The codicil
revoked bestowal of a diamond ring to
her husband, and a diamond bracelet
to his daughter, Genevieve. The estate
valued at about $25,000, is divided
among Lettie Thomas, a sister, and
nineteen other persons. The codicil
reads:
"This is the codicil to my will. I
revoke the clause giving the diamond
ring to Robert F. Irby and the brace-
let to his daughter, Genevieve. They
will never want anything of mine, so
I bequeath the large size diamond
ring to Rose Ellis Ramer and the
bracelet to Julia Bubar."

Seize German Ships
Yesterday, immediately after the
passage of the war declaration,
United States officers took possession
of all German ships interned in
American waters, to hold and use
them until the end of the war. Their
ownership after the war will be a
matter to be dealt with in the treaty
of pence.
Twenty-seven vessels were seized in
the New York harbor, valued at ap-
proximately $96,000,000, and a dozen
more at Boston and other points.
There are said to be 91 German ves-
sels in the harbors of the United
States, ranging in size from small
spiling vessels to the majestic Vater-
land of 54,282 tons. The value of all
the vessels is placed at over $200,000,-
000.
