 STUPEND0US WAR PREPARAT TONS

Your committee will have full op- portunity, and will doubtless go into those things. if you will deal with the hospital situation, the Medical Corps, the Signal Corps you will heal of the wonderful work done by the engineering department of the army.
 "Whe n 1t is all told, Mir. Chairman, it will be q story which I am sure your committee will be glad to report to the Senate of the United States as being a tremendous response to n tre- lcndous responsibility and when you have made this investigation I know tat thc American people will feel, as I think they have right to feel, that we are m this war to win 1t, and we are in it to hit and to hit hard; that we are in it to coordinate our the problem Is not one of indidividual star playing. but of team play with these veterans and experienced per sons under actual battle conditions; that more has been done, perhaps, than the country expected, more than tho wisest in the country drought was possible to do.
 Tn so far as I am personally con cerned, I know what is ahead of us. know what the American feeling about this war is. Everybody is im- patient to do as much as we can. There will he no division of counsel;

there will be all the criticism there ought to be upon shortcomings and failures: there will be so far as the War Department Is concerned, a con- tinuing effort at improvement and a hospitality toward every sug- gestion for improvement that can come from the outside but the net result Is going to be that a united and confident American people, believ- ing in themselves and in their insttu- tions, are going to demand, and that at no late day, on European battle fields, in the face of veterans though they be, they do not excell us in achievement and when the victory is won over there, AIr Chairman, the credit that will come to American en- terprise and to American determine tion and to American courage will be an honor to us, as the tenaclty of pur- pose and splendid achievements of the British and French a'r'ddy shed great luster on tho names of src,,t reoplc"

< h the following article, reprinted from the Los Angeles Times of Jan nary 39, Secretary of War Baker lays bare to the understanding the mighty war preparations in which the United States is engaged preparatory to talk ing her place in the colossal strug- gle across the seas.
 The article is an almost complete verbatim copy of the testimony given by the War secretary before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs follow Ing the attacks on the Administrative and War Department methods of con ducting the war by Senator's Stone. Chamberlain and others and is com plete refutation of the charges of in- efficiency made against the War De- parunent. The reply of MT. Baker is reproduced exactly as it was given to tho large outside dailics on the day he made answer to the critics of the Department. Owing to it's great length the article will run through several is- sues of this paper.

Tn addition to that other side it has been necessary for us to build hospi tals, and that Is where the ma jor need for hospitals may be. It has been necessary for the Surgeon Generals staff to be divided in this fashion and to select supplies and procure mater ials and to send over staffs of train cd persons to supervise the construc tton of these hospitals, and to man on contemporaneously with the work which has been done in this country, and then, in order that another ele- ment may be added to the kaleidescopic character which this war necessarily has, call your attention to thing which you already know. This war had a more or less set character until the Russian situation changed, and 1t has changed in the last few months. When we had gotten more or less used to the situation created by the uncer- tainty as to Russia there came the great Italian defeat, which called for even greater changes in our plans, in many ways.
 "So that what might have been a perfectly acceptable plan as to major operations prior to the change in the Russian situation, or prior to the change in the Italian situation, had to be restudied instantly, and for that reason, among others there is now or ganized, as you know, in France, pur- suant to the suggestion of Mr. Lloyd George, the Rapello conference, or the supreme war council, and the United States Is represented on that by the Chief of Staff of the American Army and the major international arrange ments in regard to the military are worked out there while Gen. Persh- ing md his staff of experts are work ing out other questions.
 That is a picture of what has been going on over there, gentlemen. On this side much of that has had to be done, and in addition to it, all the things we have done, and I ask you to remember among the achievements on this side, Is the building of this army, not of 5O,0O0 or 100000, or 500.- 900, but of substantially 100000 men.
 And now, let me be frank with you, and let your Judgment be frank with me about this. Has any army in his- tory. ever since the beginning of time, been so raised and cared for as this army has? Can the picture be dupli- cated? We have raised this army talk ing the regular army and the National Guard, raising 1t to war strength and supplenenting 1t by the operation of a draft, and there are Senators In this room who said to me with grief when we proposed that that form of raising the soldiers should be had, they shosl; their heads and said: MT Secretary it can't be done. 1t is too sudden to address to the American peorle that node of selecting soldiers And yet ',.s any great enterprise within the knowledge of any man in this TO m ever been carried out with rtore un- falling justice, with more intelligent explanation and commcndation to thu good sense or patriotism of the Ameri
