can do il they are going to help any

cant knit-or haven't the time they

if the men are going TO have their
proper share in this humanitarian ef-
fort, they must not only become mem-

Dir. Baker then turns to the method

ARMY HEAD GIVES
REPORT FOR YEAR
Secretary OF War Baker Tells Public
Of Work Necessary to Place the
Country in Safety.

Washington, --SecretaTy Bakers an
nual report for the war department
made public constitutes only a brief
history review Of the year, and SO
that it may be devoid of information
for the enemy shows no recommends
tons. no detailed information Of the
transportation Of the army to France
or any army plans for the future.
Secretary Baker does say, however.
that he does not favor universal milf
tary training as q regular national
policy
"The department has not sought
and does not now seek legislation en-
the subject" he says, chiefly for the
reason that the formation Of a perma-
nent military policy will inevitably be
affected by the arrangement conBe-
auent upon the termination of the
present war. Civilized men must hope
that the future has in store a relief
from the burden of armament anu the
destruction and waste of war
However vain that hope may ap-
pear in the midst of the most devas-
| Eating and destructive war in the his
| tory Of the race, 1t persists-perhap
! because we are encouraged by the
! analogous substitution OF courts for
! force in the settlement Of private con-
| tr0versfes; perhaps because all the
! perfections Of nature teach us that
| they are the product of processes
which have eliminated waste and sub
| stituted constructive for destructive
principles.
when a permanent military policy,
| therefore, comes to be adopted, it will
doubtless be conceived in q spirit
which will be adequate TO preserve
against any possible attack those vital
principles Of liberty upon which demo
cratic institutions are based, and yet
be so restrained as in no event 10
