Washington, Jan. 2s.-Ffve hundred
thousand American troops in Franco
early this year-and a million and a
half in all available-fully equipped
and with the artillery to support
them-this was the answer Secretary
Baker today gave the senate military
committee to the charge of ineff1ciency
and breakdown in the military es-
tabiishment. Asss
Secretary Baker, in a long personal
statement today before the senate
military committee replied to Senator
Chamberlain's charges of inefficiency
and breakdown IN the war depart
ment.
Without prepared manuscript and in
frank conversational manner, the
secretary OF war told the senators he
came to defend no mistakes or short
comings. but to insist most emphat-
ically that deficiencies where dis
closed har promptly been remedied;
that they were the exception rather
than the rule and that the very mag
nitude Of Americas undertaking made
errors of Judgment and mistakes likely.
incidentally, in defending the wI-
ministry against the charge of ineffi-
cheney and lack Of initiative to pre-
pare for war when war was assured,
the secretary disclosed some fact,
hitherto held confidential.
France and Great Britain, he said,
are supplying artillery to the Ameri-
can forces because they themselves
wished to do so as they had an ex-
cess on hand and wished to save ships
for more vital necessities.
Thirty-two divisions of national
guard and national army troops in
camp in the United States-more than
a million men in aIl-are considered
ready to go overseas for service
whenever it is decided that they shall
move.
Every American soldier who uses
a rifle, Secretary Baker told the SEN
ators. already has been provided with
one and the rate of manufacture as
sures a steady supply as troops become
ready to use them.
Lewis machine guns. he said, al
though they have been ordered, are
not being used for the troops on land
because General Pershing and his staT
desire them only for airplane work.
Great Britain and France, he said, are
prepared to furnish machine guns for
the land forces until the American
supply arrives, and in fact wish to do
so.
Responsibility for calling out a large
number of men before equipment for
them was ready, Secretary Baker as
sumed to himself, but added that the
best military advisors, including Ma
jor General Wood, pressed for 1T.
Charges of mistreatment Of troops
in hospitals. Secretary Baker said,
were acted on vigorously and pointed
out that the war department only
last week refused TO permit mere dis
missals of two army doctors, who mis-
treata I'd soldiers, but insisted they
should have prison sentences in ad-
oition.
Senator Chamberlains speech, Mr..
Baker thought, had given the country
the impression that the deficiencies
complained Of were Characteristic
rather than occasional. For that rea-
son, he deplored it's effect. but he
emphatically declared he came before
the committee not to defend individ-
uals. deny delays or false starts.
But" said he, Il think I can say
in confidence that in them we have
sought the remedy"

Iron county sportsmen went on
record as fdtoring the one buck law

sin Conservation Commission at the
court house Thursday evening.
The hearing was attended by a
good representation of sportsmen
from Hurley and outlying sections
of the county. The merits and de

cussed, resulting i'll a unanimous
vote for the one. buck law and it is
quite probable that deer will be
hunted the coming fall under the
provisions of that law.
1t is also probable that the deer
hunting season will be changed and
this matter was also discussed at
the hearing Thursday evening
The present season is for ten days,
from Novembe- 20 to so, and the
general opinion among sportsmen
seems to be that the season should
be heightened and made at least
twenty days. The change of the
season cannot be accomplished, of

Dear Friend:
1t is now almost a month since
| received your fine letter of May II.
There are times when fellow is too
occupied over here TO even write let
tiers and such has been the case with
me for the last month or so. Lately
| have been extremely busy and dur
ing the last four days I've been the
victim of an attack of what our doe"
diagnosed as trench fever. 1t is not a
serious aiiment but one that most sol
diers get sooner or later up here at
the front. expect to be on the job
again in the morning. A fellow hates
to be off duty minute over here as
things are so very interesting at all
times.
You were about right when you
said that we fellows over here appre-
ciate mail. Why. | think that mail
is about as essential to the fighter as
his daily bully beef" Mail and
chow calls are the two best calls the
army ever invented.
| have for some time been right
up at the front lines where things are
doing in fine style and / surely am get
ting wonderful experience. I'm
sure that | never will forget the feel
ing that shot through me on the first
night at the scene when the shells and
shrapnel whistled and burst overhead.
n fellow quickly gets used to il and
/ after week or so one really enjoys
it. Nevertheless, | can think of a
quiet little spot back in Wisconsin
where I'd much rather be-nOt until
| the war is over, though. Our first
home up here was located on the Hun
side of our big guns and within easy
range of his (the Hun)guns, so we have
good idea of what real noise is. ! on
can't hear yourself think when both
sides commence exchanging cOmpli-
ments. To sleep is out of the ques-
ton.
The air battles are by far The
most interesting features to witness
during the day. Most other activities
take place at night. | have seen sew.
eral battles between our planes and
the BOche's. 1t is great sport watch
/ ing the planes dart about in all man
ners and at the same time play mach
inc gun file on each other. 1t usual
ly means disaster to at least one of
them and oh, what drop.
We spent a rather quiet Fourth of
July. 1t was by no means a sane one
but it was a great deal more quiet
than we expected, as the Huns had
sent messages over saying that they
were going to aid in our celebration.
They must have changed their minds,
We are expecting this to be an in
teresting summer on this side of the
ocean. FIVE only didn't have to con
tend with the gas mask and helmet in
the hot weather.
Give my regards to the folks and all.

he session next winter.


w. E. Barber, chairman OF the
commission, presided at the hear
ing. He said that the hearings are
usually marked with good attend
ance and that sportsmen are taking
a deep interest in the game and fish
laws. Hearings have been held in
2I counties which have open season
for hunting deer and Mr.. Barbe r
stated that with the exception of
Eau Claire county, where one man
voted against the one buck law, and
Marinette county, where ten OPP
posed it, the vote has been unani-
nous in favor of it. 1t is estim
ated that IS per cent of the $50, 900
deer killed last fall, under the one
deer of either sex law, were does,
and broadminded sportsmen who
have the protection of deer at heart
and who are actuated by other than
selfish motives are readily convinc-
ed that to continue the slaughter
of does would soon exterminate the
deer and therefore are in favor of
the one buck law mainly as con-
Servation measure.

This applies particularly to a fire
where grease is present in quantities.
where a fire in the oil box of an en-

water scattered the grease in all d.

There are few fatheads in Hurley

sing the parade Monday night when
men standing on the sidewalks did
not come to attention and lift their
hats when the colors went by. The
fellows that do not salute the flag,
whether through negligence or disre-

would stick. In these times of stress
it behooves everybody to treat the flag
with the respect with which it Is due,
that would be the least person
could do. The stars and stripes at
the head of the parade Monday even
ing is the emblem of our nation. When
it was passing by it was your duty to
