EARLY THIS YEAR, ACCORDING TO
A REVIEW BY SECRETARY OF
WAR BAKER.
ANOTHER MILLION AVAILABLE
Secretary Baker Before Senate Com
Inittee Bares Much That Heretofore
Has Been Carefully Guarded With
Nations Military Secrets.

Washington.-America will have an
army of half a million men in France
early this year, with million trained
and equipped ready to follow as quick.
ly as ships can be provided to carry
them, and the outlook for this is not
unpromising.
Secretary Baker gave this informa.
ton to the nation and to the world in
a statement before the senate military
committee, barring much that until now
has been carefully guarded with the
army's military secrets, in answering
charges that the government has
broken down preparing for war.
From early morning until late after.
noon the secretary addressed the COM
mittee and a crowd, including many
members of both houses Of Congress,
gathered in big hearing room of the
senate office building. He spoke ex.
temporaneously, beginning with details
Of the mammoth task of building an
army of million and half, answer
ing such complaints Of inefficiency as
were cited by Senator Chamberlain in
his recent speech and declaring that
such instances were isolated and not
general. Some questions were asked,
and Mr.. Baker, from time to time, had
assistants go to the telephone for re-
ports on specific questions.
Toward the close Of his speech, Sec.
rotary Baker delivered dramatic
general statement of the American
war plan, telling Of the coming Of the
allied missions, Of the day and night
conferences with men from the scene
Of battle in which the plans now be-
ing executed were adopted, and OF
success beyond the most sanguine ex
pectations in building the army and its
industrial support at home, transport
ing men across the ocean, constructing
railroads in France and preparing to
strike the enemy with every resource
at the country's command.
When Mr.. Baker closed, it was ap
parent he had created profound i'm
preston. Chairman Chamberlain said
so before the left the stand. There
was no attempt at cross-examaination
The chairman proposed that the sec
rotary be given a rest, and it virtually
was agreed to recall him for further
examination later after the committe;
has completed its hearing of officers
Of the medical corps, aviation section
and other branches Of the service.
Committee Amazed.

Committee Amazed.

While many things disclosed i'm
pressed, the committee was frankly
amazed when told that the men of 80
national guard and national army di-
visianl camps are ready to go today
at need. When members wanted to
know why such things had not been
given publicity before, Mr.. Baker spoke
of the reluctance of military men to
reveal their war plans and quoted
German remarks about Americas ad-
vertisement Of her preparations.

Vim Carroll, pastor of the institution, was sitting on an old whiskey barrel while working there, when a hystander lighted match and stuck it in the bung nole to sur prise him. They were all surprised, for the barrel had been laying in the sun and the alcohol fumes had form ed gases which exploded when the match came in contact with them. The head of the barrel was blown off and the preacher started on jour ney to the heavens above, but return ed to earth with bump. after jeur- ney of few inches into space.
