BAKER OPPOSES
PERMANENT DRAFT
ftlIsYkATioa DOES NOT
SEEK LEGISLATION FOR UNI.
VERsAL SERVICE
IA, As.oclsled Pre.sI


WASHINGTON, Dec i5. Secretary
Bakers annual report for the war
department constitutes only brief
historical review OF the year, and
so that II may be devoid of intor-
nation for the enemy shows no rec.
concentrations, no detailed informa-
toin or the transportation Of the
army to France or any army plans
for the future,
Secretary Baker does say how
ever that he does not favor uni.
yersal military training as a regu'
lar national policy
THE department has not sought
and does not now seek legislation
on the subject" he says, Chiefly
for the reason that the formation OF
permanent military policy will in
evitably be affected by the arrange
ment consequent upon the termina'
tion of the present war. Civilized
men must hope that the future has
in store relief from the burden OF
armament and the destruction and
waste of war.
"Towever vain that hope may ap-
pear in the midst of the most de-
vastating and destructive war in the
history Of the race, 1t persists--per-
haps because we are encouraged by
the analogous substitution of courts
for force in the settlement OF private
controversies; perhaps because all
the projections OF nature teach us
that they are the product OF pro-
cesses which have eliminated waste
and substituted constructive prin'
ciples for destructive principles"

WASHINGTON. Dec .15.-Director
of the Mint Ray Baker, in denying
reports that the government is con
sidering an unlimited coinage of sill
yer or the revival of the bimetalism
issue, explained the proposed gov
eTmnent acquisition was TO stimulate
production and to stabalize the mar
ket, 1t was officially explained the
administration is not supporting the
Shafroth resolution for the creation
OF a commission to study the interna-
tona silver monetary questions.
Baker said the sole purpose of the
government is to insure an ade
quate supply of silver at price
that fill be fair to small producers,
as well as large, and which will
stimulate the production Of silver
cold and other metals yielding silver
as by-product, to stabalize the
American market and to render for
eign exchange more stable. Nego-
tiations will afford no opening for a
revival Of the economic issue and it
should be regarded purely as an eff
tort to secure an adequate supply
and place American silver production
on more satisfactory and scientific
basis.
