Would Olympia people recommend

they confirm their statements after

"Whenever / did a hard days work

relief from these troubles"
The above statement was given on

editors Note: This article was
written by Secretary Baker prior to
the final enactment of the selective
CONSUMPTION bill by congress and so
discusses the measure as proposed by
the war department. Consequently
it differs from the law in the age
limits for those who have to register.)
When war was declared it became
necessary at once to consider the
raising of a new army. 1t was not
then known how soon or to what ex-
tent the United States could helpfully
undertake active military operations
in Europe. The vast armies of the
European nations have been engaged
for two years and half and number
many millions of men on each side.
They stretch continuously along the
eastern and western fronts of con-
flict, and are now veterans, trained to
the kind of warfare that has devel-
oped in the last few years-a method
of war which differs from all which
have preceded it chiefly in the follow
ing particulars:
First - The immensely greater
number of men engaged.
Second - The use of new imple-
ments of war, such as the submarine
on the sea, the airplane, the high-ex-
plosive shell, the machine gunS and
large-calibre mobile artillery on the
land.
Third-The consequent industrial
mobilization of the nation in support
Of the armies at the front.
Consulted Worlds Experience.
To the extent that the task as
signed to the United States is finan-
cial and industrial, it is, of course,
outside of the immediate view of the
war department., which must concern
itself primarily with the mobiliza-
ton, training and equipment Of
armies, and their efficient use in con-
fict. The first problem of the war
department, therefore, was to prepare
for submission to congress bill
which would create a new army; and
in the drawing of that bill it was
necessary to consult the recent expe-
rience of the world in military mat
ters.
The army, as already authorized by
law, consisted Of:
1.-The regular army.
2-The national guard.
3-Such volunteer forces as con-
gress might authorize to be raised.
Had this establishment been relied
upon and no further Legislation asked
beyond authority to raise volunteers,
the national army would have con-
sisted of the regular army. with Its
trained professional officers and en-
listed men; the national guard of the
states, force of widely varying de-
grees Of training and comprising
men from 21 to As years Of age. en-
listed in their state military forces
under the national defense act OF
1916; and volunteer army, of men
yet to be trained, who might be moved
by the tendency of war to volunteer
for military service during the term
Of the war.
In other words, we should have an
army made up Of three elements, Sc
lected by no uniform standards and
under no uniformity of obligation as
to length of service. led by officers
chosen in different ways, and drawn
from the body Of the country without
recognition either Of the necessities
of Industrial support for the war or
of social and economic relations of
men accepted for military service.
Wanted National Army.
It seemed Of the first impor-
lance that the new national army
should be one army, each member
