 Secretary Baker opens his report with review of the situation in Mex ico which led up to the withdrawal of General Pershing's column and pays a high compliment to the self restraint and consideration the American off cers and soldiers both on the border and in Mexico.
 Taking up the war with Germany. Secretary Baker describes a fine spirit of service shown by the American people without distinction of age. sex or occupation"
 Those who believed" he adds, "that the obvious and daily exhibition of power which. takes place in an autoc- racy is necessary for national strength, discovered that finer and freer, and greater national strength subsists in a free people and that the silent pro- cesses of democracy with their normal accent on the freedom of individuals. nevertheless afford springs of collect i've action and inspiration for self-sac- rifice as wide and effective as they are spontaneous
 MT. Baker then turns to the method bf " hANAi tAC dlAly was OU q war footing. He shows that under its | full authorized strength. the regular army includes 1S,000 officers and 47O, l 900 men and the war strength contem | plated by the national defense act for the national guard was 13,OOO and 456,- 900 men. With the million additional | troops of the selective draft army added, these figures furnish an army of 100000 men upon which all original | war estimates were based.
 The secretary describes the drafting 1 of the national guard, which he says responded with zeal and enthusiasm to the call. He describes also the eX. pansiOn of the regular army and re. views the reasons which prompted ths | government to go to selective conscrip. tion for the remainder of it's forces.
 The report then touches briefly upor the officers training camps, the con. struction of cantonments. with prob lens encountered and solved through the cooperation of the civilian agen. cies created by the council of nationa defense, and goes into some detail witt

of the United States has increased the tonnage problem enormously. Germany has gambled on Americas failure to transport her army to Europe. The Prussian claim is that autocracy alone can do things.
 The honor of democracy is at stake, and l do not doubt that the Prussians will be disillusioned, but both America and Great Britain will have to strain their resources to the utmost to in crease their tonnage. The fact that American tonnage wifi be absorbed in the transport of their own armies com pels us to increase our responsibilities in assisting France and Italy with the transportation of essential commodities to their shores.
 In order to obtain the necessary men for this object we must interfere to even a greater extent than heretofore with the industries not absolutely es- sential to the prosecution of the war.
 Premier Lloyd George in concluding emphasized how the country could aid by further economizing and in the in crease of home production.
 We must strip even barer for the fight" he declared.
 In his reference to the recent letter of the Marquis of Lansdowne, MT. Lloyd George said:
 q now understand that all ouI anXieties concerning this epistle were grOundless; that the Marquis of Lans- downe did not intend to convey the meaning which his words might req sonably bear, and that all the time he was in complete agreement with Presi- dent Wilson's message. Now the gov ernment is in full agreement with that message. Mir. Asquith also is in agree ment with it.
 q therefore take it that the inter pretation placed on the Maquis o. Lansdownes letter here, in America and in France, both by supporters ant | opponents of the allied cause. and alst | in Austria and Germany, was not il the least the interpretation the Marquis of Lansdowne desired to give. do no | desire to force a controversy if nom | exists, but l might be forgiven for re | beating President Wilson and in say

the committee declined to buy without giving a reason.
 Lamborn came to him soon after ward, MT. Spreckels said, for means to further finance the deal and told him that within 15 minutes after the com mittee had declined the sugar a buyer for the American had offered him $6.65 for it. Buyers for the chain store com panies heard of the situation, pur- chased the sugar for ST.I5 and with the permission of the food administration had it refined by the Federal and the Warner Refining company for $1.30 a hundred.
 The witness said the retail price of $7.25 for granulated sugar at seaports works a hardship because his company manufactures practically nothing but granulated and brown, whereas the American company specializes in gran ulated handled in shapes for which prices are not fixed.
 Several witnesses have been sum- moned by the committee including A. II. Lamborn who is expected to testify after MT. Spreckels concludes tomor- row.

 The aviation program is touched up- on briefly and no additional informa- tion is given. The engineer department and the part it played in rushing tech nical aid to the allies is outlined and Secretary Baker reneWs his recom- mendation for a more adequate en- gineer school with a suggestion that congress plan for both engineer and ordnance education in broad and generous spirit in order to create sci entific agencies of value in peace or war and where graduates of West Point would specialize. The suggestion
Arizona republican., 1917-12-15

is presented for future consideration rather than immediate action and no detailed plan is unfolded.
 Taking up the quartermaster prob lems with the outbreak of the war, MT. Baker cites few items of what it was found necessary to supply. They in- clude:
 Twenty million pairs of shoes, sev- enteen million blankets, 33,000,000 yards of flannel shirting; 50,000, ,000 yards of tenting. The work is being done through the cooperation of civil ian agencies, the secretary says, and adds:
 "The problems of supply are not yet solved; but they are in the course of solution. Sound beginnings have been made, and as the military effort of the country grows the arrangements per- fected and organizations created will expand to meet it"

John Smith. aged 81, a transient,

afternoon on the charge Of carrying
concealed weapons. %suspecting Smith
of the theft Of a suit Of clothes, the
police picked him up and made a
search for the missing property,
which they did not find. However,
they claim that they did find on Smith
a loaded 80 caliber revolver, together
with some files and some blank keys
which had evidently been filed. The
charge Of carrying concealed weapons
was lodged against the prisoner and
he was taken before Justice OF the
Peace A. B.. Gum. before whom he
waived preliminary examination and
was bound over to district court.
