"In such a policy," Mr. Baker jsaid, "the accent is upon the citizen and not the soldier; thy officers be coming a permanent corps of experts and the men a body temporarily devoting a portion of their time to military training in order that they may enter civil life with a sense of national service and with superior equipment for success." "It is difficult to believe." lie said, | denying any danger of militarism, ] "that an army could be formed of I Americans, educated in our common schools, raised in the free and demo cratic atmosphere of our institutions, which would still be hostile to.those | institutions and liberties. The | World War has shown quite clearly jthat armies relied the spirit of the ; people from whom they come rather : than create a. spirit of their own, so that the size of the army is not 1 so important from the point of view ! now under consideration as the kind I of an army." The selective service law was ac cepted as a fair means of assigning men to military service in time of war, Mr. Baker said, but compul sory service in time of peace would be "a poor substitute for the volun teer principle properly applied." Raising a standing army by financial inducement is too costly to contem plate, he added, leaving only the method of "making enlistment in the army an educational oppor tunity" to furnish the troops. The recommendation for an in creased standing army, he declared, should not be taken to indicate a disinclination toward the prospect of disarmament. The plan recommended. Mr. Baker said, looks to the establish ment of systems of schools teaching the formal branches of education and adding to them the skilled trades, "so that at the end of a term of enlistment, the young man entering in liis nineteenth voar will go back to civil life with the physical set-up which the open, athletic life of the Army gives, and with the education and training which will make him more valuable in civil pursuits than he could otherwise have been." So cial and recreational opportunities also must be supplied, he said, so that the graduate from the Army "will bring back with him the social virtues which result from education of mind and hand acquired in an environment made stimulating by the presence of a high purpose and sense of service, and generous as sociation with his fellows." "The military policy recommended by the War Department, tTiercfore, involves a new Army created with a new spirit, having wide civic use fulness, and of such size and organi zation as to lie an adequate reliance in case of need," the report said. Mr. Baker said the operations in Franco would be dealt with in tHe special repoVt being prepared by General Pershing. even the Allied war council, he said, hod realized the effect upon Germany of the accelerated movement of troops and supplies from the United States, and all plans had been prepared for a vigorous campaign in the Spring of 1919. "Had not the great troop move ment of the summit of 1918 been carried out," he said, "the prac tically continuous battle on the west ern front from March to November would not have*been possible. The l saving to the world in thus shorten ! ing the war is incalculable alike in | life and treasure." j ' The text of the initial order to j General Pershing which is quoted, | shows he was instructed to keep the I American army "a separate and dis- I tinct component of the combined forces, the identity of, which must Ibe preserved." The method of co operation with the Allies was left to his discretion and, Mr. Raker added, that the authority thus conferred j "was never in any particular modi ! tied or diminished." "There were elements in the prob lem which might well have caused J grave apprehension" the report said. I "The armies of France, Great Britain, and Italy had borne for three years the furious and deadly assaults of the great German mili tary machine, the toll levied by battle I upon the man power of these na- I tions had been appalling, and it was becoming increasingly difficult j for them to maintain their divisions |at full strength. The submarine j peril menaced the supply of muni tions of war and of foodstuffs to great civil populations. "Meanwhile the German armies had crushed long-planned offensives by the Allied armies with apparent ease, and by the collapse of Russia were daily being strengthened by di visions of trained soldiers brought i from the . eastern front until the menace of superior numbers and ap parently inexhaustible supplies of the munitions of war haunted the councils of the Allied powers. Overseas Task Were Done i "Rut those who visited General Pershing's headquarters during the war .j know that from the beginning | there was resolution and a clear sighted knowledge of the size of the | task. It would have been ilde to j plan for a small American Army. On the other hand, it required j imagination and daring to plan for | a large one—to take a million Amei 1- i can men to France, separate them j from home by 3,000-miles of ocean, i and subject them to the 'hazard of j the uncertain and diminishing food J supplies of Europe. And there still J regained the further question: If these difficulties could be overcome, j could they be overcome irt time? "General Pershing and his asso ciates gave no room to doubt and (accepted no counsel except that of ( determination. When the critical [ hour came and the combined ener gies of the United States and Great j Britain did surpass all previous esti j mates and land 2,000,000 men in France, the arrangements made for their reception and for their main tenance were found adequate; and had the war gone on und the 80- division program been carried out, the imagination and daring of those ' early plans would still have been ( adequate. "It is a wonderful story and ex hibits at its best the confidence In their institutions which Americans j may justly have." Opposes Air Department Mr. Raker opposes creation of a department of the air because or the undeveloped state of the industry, necessitating "federal regulation," ! as well as becuuse of militury con siderations. It would be just as fatal to separate forces from the army, he maintained. Since June 30, 1918, the report shows, it has been found necessary, to use federal troops on 18 separate I occasions to preserve law, and e-a The incidents listed range from In-1 dustrial Workers of the World ac tivities in Arizona to recent move- ] ments in the coup fields. Mr. Baker I concludes his report with an appro-1 ciution of the services of General ; Peyton C. March, chief of staff. Y. M. C. A. Hut in Island of Guam Is Now Planned New York. Dec.

I.—ln America, it ;is reported here, many erstwhile j manufacturers of bever- I ages are now devoting themselves to i the. production of soft drinks and | mineral waters. In this .country, |as the result of what one paper j called the "boom in Booze," several manufacturers or nun nioxicuting beverages are turning their attention to the production of drinks that pos sess what is popularly called a do cided "kick."

One of its features was the display of wines, liquors and cordials by a tir.'.i whose minis hcictofore has > oen a, household word in the mlueral lvater trade. "During the war," said one of the directors of the company, "we sup plied 15,000,000 bottle? of soda! water to the army.

Experts Find By Associated Prcs's. Constantinople, Dec. I.—-American experts who have investigated the financial condition of the former Ot toman Empire say they are con vinced that it is fundamentally sound. Several considerations are advanced to support this conclusion. First, it is stated that the popular point of view that Turkey was bank rupt before the war was partly cre ated artificially for the benefit of foreign financial interests with the object of frightening other would be investors and for political reasons of establishing spheres of influence. TJie fact that Turkey was always able to secure loans is cited as evi dence of her financial soundness, though against this may be advanced the observation that she was a po litical center coveted by many pow ers who were plaved, the one against the other, and that financial con siderations werot sometimes subordi nated to political purposes.
