VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENTS
Sec. Baker Requests Repeal of Selec-
tive Service Provisions Limiting En-
listmentS to Period of War.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Immediate
legislation authorizing resumption of
voluntary enIiStm ment in the army and
the repeal of provisions of the selec-
tive service act limiting enlistments to
the period Of the war was urged today
by Secretary Baker in a letter to
Chairman Dent of the house military
committee.
Without legislation, Secretary Ba-
ker said, the army after the procla-
nation of peace would not have suf-
ficient forces to perform essential
military duties, including the polio
ing Of the Mexican border.
This legislation is urgently neces-
sary,' he wrote, because as soon
after the proclamation of peace as the
existing emergency will permit those
who have enlisted or been drafted TO
serve during the emergency must all,
in accordance with the law, be dis
charged. Demobilization of these
men is now being rapidly made and it
is expected soon to release them at a
rate of over 10000 a day"
