MORE ARMY and navy
"PREP" SCHOOLS URGED
Secretary Baker Would Train Youth
for War Emergency.

Establishments throughout the country
OF preparatory scholls to fit youth for the
Military Academy at West Point or the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, is the most
farreaching innovation recommended by
Secretary of War Baker in his annual re-
port. made public last night
should the United States ever he CALI
ed upon to meet a great military emer-
genCy. large army would have TO he
sustained and supported by a highly CO.
ordinated industrial system" the report
says. There should therefore be in the
country at all times a great body Of men
trained as mechanics whose places in
such an emergency would not be in the
ranks of the fighting forces, but at the
lathes and forges from which the ammu-
nitio supply of the army must be drawn. -
"Incidently these schools would furnish
a great body of men returning to civil
life fitted by training either to respond
to call TO the colors. or to take their
places as civil soldiers in the services of
the government in those industries and
undertakings fundamental to the success
full conduct Of military operations"
Any suggestion OF compulsory military
service, such as was mentioned by Sec
retary Garrison in his last annual re-
port a year ago. Is entirely absent in the
Baker report.
