GOVERNORS TO
 SOLVE PROBLEM
 FOR SOLDIERS
Secretary Baker Addresses Them at a Conference and Says They Are
 Great Help.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 17.-Secretary of War Baker informed Governors of 36 States here in annual convention for considering peace problems ill connection with the war, and what public works will be needed to give soldiers employment and how best to reclaim lands, that the war al ready had proved the necessity of strong State governments as the prin- cipal agencies in mobilizing and de mobilizing armies.
 He urged that the cities be given more freedom to handle problems in connection with peace plans. He dwelt upon the necessity of the States cooperating with the Govern ment in initiating public works with a view to furnishing employment so that there would be no class of idle men to disorganize conditions.
 Secretary Baker said the local draft boards will be dissolved at the end of the present month, and will main tain informal organizations, however to aid in planning employment for discharged soldiers.
