BAKER COMES BACQ
WITH HIS ANSWER
Explains Method Of Transpor-
tation Of Guards to the
Border. - 49,
FOOD, AND PLENTY OF IT

Washington, July 29.-In response
to the house resolution OF inquiry
Secretary Baker today made a report
on the transportation Of National
Guardsmen to the border. The reso-
lutions asked for information on
charges that the guardsmen had been
transported in day coaches, that their
trains had been professionally side
tracked and that they were insuffi-
GENTLY fed and cared for.
Secretary Baker says the guards
men In some instances were trans
ported in day coaches, but that no
cars without lights were used and
that troop trains were not sidetracked
unreasonably. Regular army rations
more than sufficient for the journey
were furnished all troops, he asserts,
either on leaving mobilization camps
or en- route, and that all cars used
were inspected to remedy defects or
deficiencies that would imperil health
or safety OF troops,
Use of Day Coaches.
The report says day coaches were
used only in cases where, owing to
the urgency Of the situation and the
large number Of troops being moved
at one time, il was not practical to
delay. When day coaches were used
1t explains, three men were assigned
to each four seats. In some cases,
railroads, without extra charge, al
lowed two men to occupy four seats.
Wherever it could be done, arrange
ments were made to transfer troops
from day coaches to tourist sleepers.
Regarding rations, the secretary re-
ports that where cooking equipment
was not placed on trains, the men
were furnished with money to buy
hot coffee, the same as troops OF the
regular army are allowed under SINH
lar conditions. No reason existed for
troops seeking food from civilians,
Secretary Baker asserts, and drinking
water was plentiful,
No Need to Seek Food.
There was no reason for troops
seeking food of citizens en- route, he
added. n is not possible unless ra-
