TELLSOF ACTIVITY
ALONG THE BORDER
Secretary Baker Deals Prin-
cipaIIy With Mexican Af-
fairs in Report.
PLAN FOR MORE EFFICIENCY

Military activities in Mexico and
feature of the first annual report writ
ten by Newton ID. Baker. the present
Secretary of War. and considerable at
tention is devoted to legislation de-
signed to increase the efficiency of the
military establishment.
Mr.. Baker calls attention to the fact
that he did not take office until March
9. 1916, after the resignation of Secre-
tary Garrison. He reviews briefly the
history of affairs on the Mexican bor-
der, beginning with the raid on Co
lumbus, n NJ, and carrying it forward
to November 20, the date of the report.
On that day, he says, there are still
tional Guard on the border. in addition
to approximately $4,000 members of
the regular army.
Under the subheading. The Present
Situation" the report continues:
The mere presence of this enlarged
force mas served to preserve peace and
protect life and property Disturbances
by outlaws and bandits in northern
Mexico have continued. and rowing
bands of various numbers have moved
through the territory. harassing Mex
lean forces and raiding Mexican com
munities. but they have not ventured
an attack upon the people of the United
States. In the meantime the militia
forces on the border have been drilled,
their organizations perfected and their
personnel accustomed to life in camp
In the performance OF this defensive
duty"
