II is but just to say that Secretary
Bakers latest statement to the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs has pro-
duced, on the whole, a favorable i'm
preston This Is due partly to the exr
hiblt he was able to make Of great
things actually accomplished in GER
tain directions, partly to the encourag-
ing nature OF the assurances he felt
himself warranted In giving with re-
gard to things yet to be achieved, but,
most OF all, to the marked change In
the Secretary's personal attitude to-
ward the legislators lnqulring Of him
and toward the general subject OF the
Investigation.
In the latter respect Mr.. Baker seemed
almost Ike another man; and the dis
appearance Of much Of the earlier
jauntiness, the cocksureness, the resent
ment Of proper interrogatlve criticism
as II It were intrusion on the part Of
the Senators, the disposition to engage
In a contest Of wits where the sltua-
ton demanded from him sober, earn
est, mode cooperation In the purpose
Of the inquiry, would be enough in the
case Of so important a public ofilcial
to justify the legislators in having
summoned him to the stand This mo-
diflcation Of tone and temper is a good
thing for the country; it is also a good
thing for Mr.. Baker.

great national crisis, as we'll as Of what
II has failed to do that might have been
done for the advancement Of victory.
The Investigation has brought TO the
knowledge Of the people some cardinal
facts previously withheld from them by
mistaken notions Of the sphere OF cen
sorshlp, while all the time doubtless
well known to the enemy.
The moral gain 10 the cause by Mr..
Bakers disclosures Of the rate Of pro-
gress in military preparation IS con-
siderable and undeniable. Much good
and little harm has been done In. this
way. We must remember, however.
that while his exhibit Of credtable
achievement is as ample as possible in
detail and frankness. it is no more than
human nature to minimize the minus
quantities OF the equation, TO generalize
them as mistakes corr ected as soon as
detected, and TO seek TO brighten with
hopeful promises Of increased efficiency
the dismal conditions OF past expert
ence.
The tangle is interminable while Rec
Tape remains in the War Department as
Secretary Bakers superior. The sue
cession Of mistakes to be detected and
corrected is endless in its possibilities
if the system Is inherently inadequate
TO The needs Of the times. Mr.. Bakers
testimony does not dispose Of the main
question, and that is whether the United
States Government now possesses the
tbe-t machinery for avoiding delay
speeding up the war and winning It.
This is the greatest question now be.

 A varied program will amuse and entertain the guests of the association, many interesting things being in store for those who are to attend.

There will also be a swapping bee, through the medium of which everybody present will be able to trade some article in their posses sion for something else, apparently more valuable.
 The entertainment will excel in orig inality and provide more fun and amusement than any previous effort of the Balsz Parent Teachers association. Refreshments will be served. and in such a way as to maHe them more delightful to the taste and more en- ioyable from the standpoint of the elite.
