THEIR CAP IVES.AS PEACE COMES
Baker In Annual Report
Says He VIII Plan Force
After Versailles Meet.

Washington, y. c. Dec. 5.-The
question 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 to-
Gay. says this course is determined
upon since the military needs Of the
United states cannot be prudently
assessed until that conference shall
have determined the future interua-
tional relations Of the world"
For temporary purposes. however,
Mr.. Baker announces that he viii lay
before congress a plan Of reorganiza-
tilon for the regular army, when
shall continue as the nucleus Of any
future military establishment
To Enlarge schools
In any case it is clear that the edu
cation Of officers and a constant study
Of the science of warfare viii be
necessary. and it is my hope that the
great Military academy at West Point
can be supplemented by an enlarge
ment and broadening Of the special
schools which are at present organ
lied but should be made 10 take on
more the character of postgraduate
courses and to develop and train re-
search specialists in the several arms.
I MS SUBJECT however Is one uFpt-
which casualt comment is not helpful
and 1 refer TO It only because il seems
the one clear indication from our eX-
perience as 10 our future policy"
Recapitulating the total American
casualties. 236,10S men as already an
nounced Mr.. Baker said the deaths
due TO battle alone were $4,000 and
that half Of the wounded reported
probably suffered slight injury" He
adds that federal battle fatalities in
the civil war totalled 10000. Japan
lost $. 600 men in the Russo-Japancse
war and Germany lost $500 IN the
FrancO-Prussian war.
Health OF Army.
The general health Of the army has
been surprisingly good, the report
shows. the death rate for all forces, at
home and abroad, up to August 81
having been at the rate of SO per 1000
per wear. or little more than the civil
ian rate for men Of the same age
groups. II compares with a rate OF 90
per 1000 per year during the civil war
and % during the Spanish war Pneu-
monia caused So percent Of the deaths
There were $4,000 cases Of influ-
enza among troops in the United
States during the late summer and
fall. and OF the 20,50Q deaths between
September Il and November 1s,
500 are ascribed TO the epidemic.
Embarkation Service
Discussing the embarkation service
Mr.. Baker says that in is months
total Of 2.075.S3f men and 5.19S.oou
tons Of cargo were shipped overseas
the great bulk OF these movements
having been handled after January
Of this year. When hostilities ceased
the service was engaging 3,000.uu1

ping and 100000 more tons had been
allocated its use. with a half MILAN
