SEC. BAKER THANKS.
ARMY over HERE

Following announcement by General
March that troops in this country are
to be demobilized first, Secretary
Baker has addressed a letter to the
American army thanking officers and
men for their service. The Secretary
declared those not called on to go
abroad are entitled to as much praise
as those who served overseas.
THE signing of the military armis-
tice enables US to suspend the inten-
sive military preparation in which the
country was engaged" said Bakers
letter. at does not, however, signify
the formal end OF the war, and it will,
therefore, be necessary for us to keep
under arms a substantial army until
we are assured just what the mill
tary needs of the country will be.
The men in the service of the United
States will be demobilized as rapidly
as is consistent with the needs Of the
Government, and the War Department
is working with the other agencies OF
the Government toward a rapid re-
establishment of normal business CON
ditions, and the restoration of the
soldiers to their homes and occupa-
tions. In the meantime, I desire to
express to the officers and soldiers un-
der arms the appreciation of the de-
partment for their patriotic zeal and
service.
"That they were not called upon to
go abroad and not permitted to par
ticipate in the historic struggle in
France leaves them none the less \
part OF the great army of our nation
and entitled to the thanks of the ma
tion for their readiness to serve. All
officers and men can rely upon the
sympathy and activity OF the depart
ment in their early return home.
Both Officers and men will realize
that II is their dut yto continue with
the training and work and to main
tain in the highest degree the discip-
line and soldlerly bearing which Is
the great glory Of the army, Of which
they are a part"

FIGHT LIKELY ON
RECONSTRUCTION

The Senate party fight over recon-
struction problems developed a new
angle yesterday when it became
known that a bill. designed to sup
plant that introduced by Senator
Weeks, would be presented at a Re
publican caucus next week.
The bill. drawn up by Senators
PoIndexter. Cummins. and Watson.
differs mainly from the Weeks meas
ure in that 1t divides the work among
more men.
Like the Weeks bill, membership of
commission would be made up of
members of Congress. This differen-
tiates 1t from the Overman bill, a
Democratic measure, already in COM
mittee. which provides that the Presi-
dent shall appoint a commission for
the study of reconstruction problems
The new bill would appoint six
committees, each of which would
have charge of one phase OF the re-
construction problem Each commit
tee would consist OF ten members.
FIVE from the House and fivs from the
Senate.

tentative bill drafted by the Senate
Finance Committee were censured yea
terday by the Farmers National Com
mittee on War Finance as tender
to the wealthy" and unjust to every

In a statement the farmers COM
mittee said that the committee had
submitted to the House Committee on
Ways and Means and to the Senate
Finance Committee tables showing
that nearly twelve and a half billion
dollars could be raised by taxation
for the current fiscal year by taxes
on war profits. incomes and cor
porations: on the value of unused
land and by customs.
Speaking OF the wealthy in this
country the statement says: They
and those nearly in their class are
attempting to evade their fair share

enemy submarine.
In making this known late today. the
navy department said Vice Admiral
Sims had named a court OF inquiry
which is making a thorough investiga-

nation, the master gave a complete ac-
count of the accident TO Admiral Sims,
but il has not been made public, nor
has there been any announcement as TO
the extent of the damage TO the de-
stroyer.
Admiral Sims report on the accident
was sent to the department by mail
but the name of the seaman was caoled
when the destroyer reached port, the
dispatch merely saying that he had been
killed in an accident" and ii was so
announced by the department The sea

accident of its kind among American
vessels in the war zone, but some
months ago an American warship in the
Mediterranean fired on an Italian sub
marine after ii had failed TO reveal its
nationality when signaled to do so by
the American. One man on the sub
marine was killed and another wounded.
