Baker Explains Double Expense Avoided by This Plan Washington, July 23.—1n a letter to Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, Secretary Baker gave the War De partment's reasons for choosing the South as the training ground for the National Guard. The letter was In response to an inquiry from Sena tor Weeks. Mr. Baker pointed out that the inability to get sufficient tonnage for the transport of trbops abroad before winter sets in made it neces sary to send the National Guard to a climate where the men might have out-of-door training in the early winter months. Before the winter ends, he said, he expected that all the National Guard will be on the way to France. The letter follows: "It is intended to send the Na tional Guard, or such units thereof as are propertly equipped and train ed, to join the American expedition ary force in France before the ad ditional forces authorized by the se lective draft act, now called the na tional army, can be sent. When the plans for mobilizing those two forces were drawn, it was not known how soon the national army could be as sembled under the draft. The Na tional Guard having already in its possession some equipment, and having, after several months' serv ice on the border, received a certain measure of training, it was believed that the force could be more promptly dispatched to France than the national army, which, at the time the plans were approvad, had not been authorized by Congress. Plans Dependent on Transportation "Plans for the dispatch of our forces to France depend not only upon their training and equipment, but also upon the availability of suf ficient tonnage for transportation. Had it been possible to procure, be fore winter, transportation to France for the National Guard of all States in the North, it is quite pos sible that my advisers would have recommended that the National Guard be placed in cantonments in the North. Had such a plan been proposed and given effect and ton page been sufficient, the approach of winter would have found the Na tional Guard in the climate where out-of-door training would have been impracticable. It woflld then have been necessary, after consid erable expenditure for the construc tion of cantonments, to transport them to the South, build new can tonments and possibly return them to a northern harbor for embarka tion; hence It was decided to con struct cantonment shelter for the National Guard in the South. "After sites had been selected for many of the divisions of the Na tional Guard and the national army, it was reported by the officer in charge of cantonment construction that due to the price of material the sum of money appropriated for cantonment construction would be sufficient for only about half the number (thirty-two) cantonments planned. It was also reported that the construction of half the number of cantonments could be completed by September 1, 1917, but not by July, the month .in which it had been planned to call the National Guard into military service. This month was selected because, due to the lack of clothing and other equip ment, it was believed impracticable to complete the equipment of the regular army with all its increment before July, and it was not desirable to call the National Guard before it was possible to supply the necessary equipment. Guard to Go Under Canvas "Because of the impracticability of constructing thirty-two canton ments with the funds appropriated, it was decided as the National Guard had then in its possession a certain amount of tentage, and the War De partment could reasonably hope to supply the necessary complement by the end of July, to place the Na tional Guard canvas, in order that their training might not be longer delayed and to confine the cantonment construction to the sites selected in various divisional areas for the national army. "You correctly assume that it had been hoped to send the National Guard to France within a reasonable time, but it is manifestly imprac ticable, with the limited tonnage available, to transport all the Na tional Guard of the Northern States to Fiance before cold weather, even if the dispatch of a division of the regular army be postponed for that purpose. If the National Guard of the New England division should be camped in New England consider able expenditure would be neces sary at the site selected. On the approach of cold weather it would be necessary to transport them to the South and to spend an equal amount on the construction of a camp there. In the sites which have been selected, training of the Na tional Guard may be continued throughout the winter. During the winter, if not before, it is hoped that enough tonnage will be available for the dispatch of most of the National Guard to France; namely, those di visions properly equipped and train ed for service in war. "I can assure you that every step taken by the War Department for the organization and training of all our military forces has been prompted solely by the desire to fur ther the prosecution of the war in such a manner as to effect the best results. It is impossible to foresee what difficulties may arise in the fu ture, but the present plans of the War Department are so framed as to provide for the training of each portion of the army, as soon as the equipment can be furnished and to dispatch each portion of the army to France as 300n as it is trained and equipped and tonnage becomes available." Governor Brumbaugh Will Fill Vacancies Governor Brumbaugh is expected to act late to-day in the matter of the district appeal exemption boards, whose members he suggested to Washington some time ago. The Governor returned to Harrisburg to day after a week-end spent in the vicinity of Philadelphia and will also fill up vacancies In local boards. Colonel Frank G. Sweeney. In charge of the draft headquarters, said to-day that the supplies wore being rushed to local boards and that as fast as Information came from Washington it would be for warded to them. It is probable that the Governor will name an officer to succeed Colonel Howard S. Williams as disbursing officer very shortly, as Colonel Williams Is assigned to command the ammunition Bupply train. Colonel Sweeney, who has been getting numerous letters from people asking for numbers, to-day said that persons could obtain the Information much more rapidly by addressing their local boards.
