Baker s Mind Not

Il may not be the kind of mind that

man kind of mind that is possessed by
driving executives. In fact, there is
plenty of evidence that it is not Mr..
Baker has the lawyers habit Of pass

put up to him rather than the leaders

But when his mind has to act it acts
quickly. There is suspicion that

own department up to him his mind
acted at once; hence the reorganza-
uon, OF which we shall hear to-mor-

upon the witness stand. He had an i'm

ne"spapers i'll advance, will reach the
yHountry more largely than anything
nat ne said on the witness tsand. And

delay. Before war broke out. and while
xl2.000,O00 was available for buying
such weapons, there had been delay.
Yes, certainly, for practically no guns
were purchased. But after war had
been declared. no. All haste possible
consistently with getting the best ("thc
war not being upon ito had been used.
1t was ,to delay to hold the test Of
machine guns two months after the
and other guns were being bought
meanwhile. 1t was no delay to adopt
the Browning gun. That was sheer
addition to the nations capacity to
produce machine guns. 1t might have
been asked the Secretary whether a
large production Of Lewis guns, an al
ready developed gun whose inter
changeability had already been worked
out, could not have been got months
before quantity production of the
Browning gun could be obtained. But
no ono asked the question.
Mr.. Baker had an additional cxplana-
tion of why the Lewis gun had not been
adopted for field use. He had pre-
fcrred the French practice of employ
ing an automatic rife and heavy ma
chine gun to he British practice of
using middle weight machine gun and
heavy machine gun. The Lewis does
not fit into the French theory.
The witness washed his hands of the
Kaplan contract. He knew nothing of
it until he had cancelled it, He also
washed his hands of shoddy in the
army uniforms. He had nothing to do
with changing the specification. But
Mr.. Eisenman, who had to do with both
these things, goes in blaze of glory.
AS for his reorganization, he is sew
eral jumps ahead of the committee.
The committee only proposes a depart
ment of munitions. He has his re-
organization almost completed Its re-
organization touches only two bureaus
of the War Department. His reorgan-
ization extends through the whole de-
partment. Which shows that Mr.. Baker
sometimes acts quickly. The issue of
these two plans will soon be before the
public.

No one is allowed near him, and even
his nurse must remain fifteen feet
away when talking to him. The carrier
himself must keep his mouth and nos

at certain distance from his tent and
he must go and get it.
The division surgeons have traced

Senator New pressed him about the
warnings that had come from Ambassa-

The witness wasn't combative when
he said nothing was done while wa1

He had battling way of saying the
indefensible thing as if it were full OF
lnScrutable wisdom.
One member after another came ur
against that battling manner and
stopped. He talked to the committee
very much as he talks to reporters at
the more or less daily talks at the

his reportorial questioners. The re

such excuse. They dwell on Olympus

Witness for Crozier-
But Crozier Goes

The Secretary proved a better-a
much better-witness for General Cro-
1or than General Crozier did himself,
but he has virtually fired the chief of
ordnance. The committee didn't get
from the Secretary any admission of
shortcomings in the quartermaster gen.
erals department, but there is new
head to the quartermaster' activities.
The situation may be summed up that
the War Department has done splen-
did work, but it is going to be, or has
been, completely Ycorganized No one
did sum it up that way. No one did
press home upon the Secretary the ques-
ion why, if things were going so we'll,
SO much reorganization was necessary
lie was allowed to leave the impression
that 1t was all part of a plan care
fully matured in the beginning which
j. was only possible just now to carry
out.
The witness is much clevercr man
than any member of the committee
There are probably not two men in the
Senate who could match wits with his
and who could have prevented him from
havlng his own way on the witness
stand. Mr.. Bakers mind is clear, quick
and subtle. and there are not many
clear, quick and subtle minds in Wash

Plans to Reorganize

But Questions Fail to Bring
Out What Weaknesses

By C.. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Secrctary
Bsker told the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs to-day that he had
nlans for the complete reorganization
Of the War Department. He said this
when asked about the reorganization
of the Ordnance Bureau, expressing a
desire to discuss all his plans at once.
Presumably the committee will ask him
10 do this tomorrow.
He has already reorganizcd Mr..
risenman out Of his job of controlling
contracts for cloth. And along with
Mr. Eisenman has gone Mr.. Eisenman' 5
committee on supplies. The Secretary

Mr. Eisenman. On the contrary, he gave
Nr. Eisenman the highest possible
prasc. ASK Mn Eisenman," he told the
committee, when it wanted to know
about wool-as if the committee hadn t
asked Mir Eisenman with all its might
for several whole days.
Mr.. Esenman was wonderful per-
son, but Mr.. Eisenman goes. The Kap-
ian base sorting contract, of which the
Secretary knew little till it was brought
10 close, was the right thing at the
time, but the base sorting contract is
cancelled.
