MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 1, 1919.
| tablishment "adequate in size to be
'the nucleus of any great military
j mobilization the country may ho
called upon to make," and backed
up by a system of universal training.
"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.

Izuuloii, llec. I.—ln America, it

to the production of drinks that pos

Turkey Is in Sound
Financial Condition,
U. S. 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.
