Men Will Enlist Only
For Term Of the War
CBy Associated Press.J

Washington. April 13.-An men en-
listing in the regular army Of the ma
tional guard in the present emergency
are assured in an announcement by
Secretary Baker they would be kept in
service only for the period OF the war,
The action followed a conference be-
tween the secretary and President
Wilson.
In effect this places on a time volun-
teer basis all men enlisted since the
available q total OF 517.S6S places in
the enlisted grades Of the two services
to men who wish to serve for the war
only.
Mr.. Baker laid stress on the fact
that this action was contemplated
when the administration bin was
framed and was in no way to be con-
strued as a compromise plan, reached
as q result of opposition to the draft
feature of the bill. In fact the secre-
tary pointed out that the net applica-
ton of the war enlistment plan would
be to leave the nation without any
army OF any sort, regular or national
guard. If the war lasted beyond the en-
listed terms of men now in those serv-
ices. The whole force would then be
discharged. and the administration APP
parently expects that a new, wartime
military policy founded ON universal
service will have been enacted by that
time. 1t has been emphasized that
the administration war army bill is
only an emergency measure.
"I stand firmly and unalterably in
support of that bill.' Secretary Baker
said. without modification of its least
detail"

fore the house military committee and
