authorizing a regular army of 500,-
000 men to be raised by voluntary
enlistment would bo submitted
shortly to Congress, together with
estimates for appropriations. This
army, he said, was in the nature of
a temporary military establishment,
described as a "stop gap army,"
u hjch would tide over the period
until peace is re-established.
In regard to keeping the sixteen
national army cantonments and
some of the National Guard camp
sites, Mr. Baker said it was his per
sonal Judgment thatthe cantonment
sites should all be purchased to be
held for divisional training centers
for whatever army the nation may
decide to maintain.
Representative Kahn, of Califor
nia, who will be chairman of the
committee when the Republican or
ganize the next House, asked Mr.
Baker if the army of 500,000 men
was only a temporary establishment.
The Secretary said he so regarded it,
and pointed out that steps for reor
ganization were immediately neces
sary, since existing law limits any
enlistment in the army to the dura
tion of the war.
