Baker Reports

West Point, \. Y, June 13.-
More than a million American men
will be in service in France in the
near future, declared Secretary Of
War Baker in an address to 1877
graduates of the United States
, military academy.
Supplementing his recent an
nouncement in Washington that
United States troops exceeding
100000 in number" have disem-
barked n French soil, the secre-
tary told the cadets lit is not un-
fair to speculate that we will
shortly pass the million mark"
General PeytOn C. March, chief
of staff, who made commencement

the diplomas to the graduates.
then told them they were destined
to have a part in leading the ar
mics of the nation to a victorious
peace.
Mr.. Baker declared that the
United States became a belliser-
ent because Germany tried to
crush individual human happiness
and liberty, which we call the the
ory of democracy"
We have Joined a combination
in which France and Great Britain
and Italy and the United States
have assembled in France the

ton a submergency of information

There was big fire out in the west
end just before daylight this morn
ing, the house once known as the
Melville Club, and all the furniture
in it, being burned. The firemen
went out. but as the fire was not dis
covered until the roof was falling in
they were unable to do anything. On
the way out in the dim light, the
smaller fire truck, driven by the chief,
sideswiped one of Taylor Bros. log
wagons and sustained some damage,
The fault lay principally in the
lights, the truck being equipped with
dim, old-fashioned lamps which hard
ly let the driver see ten feet ahead.
