| Washington, D. G., Dec. 5.--The ques-
tion of permanent organization of the
army has been deferred for consideration
after the close OF the peace conference
Secretary Baker, in his annual report
made public last night, says this course
is determined upon since ''the military

Baker announces that he win lay before

Baker says, from making specific rec.

two reasons. In the frat place, the sign.

establishment pending the time when the
experience through which we have gone
can be digested and the future needs OF
the nation maturely considered.
