and cruel business, and while there is cheerful willingness to encounter the prlVatlons and make the sacrifices which war demands, the men of the American army are abreast with en- frightened men everywhere in the nope that more humane and rational processes of adjustment will super sede the waste and loss of armed con- Hlct. They are, however, of the be lel that so long as 1t is necessary for us to maintain an army at all we are not Justified in having an inefficient army, and their recommendations are to be viewed as setting them apart as men who, by reason of their eXperi- ence, arc qualified to speak upon the provision which should be made for the common good and the common protection should the test of war be- come unavoidable
 The plan recommended MT. Baker said, looks to the establishment of systems of schools teaching the formal branches of education and adding to them the skilled trades, ESQ that at the end of q term of enlist ment, the young man entering in his nineteenth year will go back to civil life with the physical set-up which
 
 gives, and with the education and training which will make him more valuable in civil pursuits than he could otherwise have been." Social and recreational opportunities also must be supplied, he said, so that the graduate from the army will bring back with him the social virtues which result from education of mind and hand acquired in an environment made stimulating by the presence of high purpose and sense of service, and generous association with his fellows"
 Must Have New Army.
 ''The military policy recommended by the war department, therefore, in wolves a new army created with a new spirit having wide civic usefulness, and of such size and organization as to be an adequate reliance in case of necd," the report said.
 MT Baker said the operations in France would be dealt with in the special report being prepared by General Pershing. Not even the Allied war council, he said had realized the effect upon Germany of the accelerated movement of troops and supplies from the United States, and all plans had been prepared for a vigorou sCampaign in the spring of 1919.
 Had not the great troop movement of the summer of 1918 been carried out" he said, the practically con- tinuous battle on the western front from March to November would not have been possible. The saving to the world in thus shortening the war is in calculable alike in life and treasure
 The text of the initial order to Gon. pcrshing which is quoted, shows he was instructed to keep the American army "a separate and distinct com ponent of the combined forces, the identity of which must be preserved.' .' The method of cooperation with the allies was left to his discretion and, MT. Baker added that the authority thus conferred was never in any par tiCular modified or diminished"

WAR DEPT. SHOULD
 BE REORGANIZED
Same Thing Applies to Army,
 Bakers Report Says

Washington, Nov 30.--War experi- ence plainly shows the necessity for fundamental reorganization of the army and of the war department it. self, Secretary Baker declared today in his annual report. He recon- mended that the emergency organiza- ton, reduced to the peace time size be made permanent, and approved the general staff bill for regular es- tablishment "adequate in size to be the nucleus of any great military mobilization the country may be called upon to make" and backed up by system of universal training.
 "In such a policy,' MT. Baker said, the accent is upon the citizen and not the soldier; the officers becoming a permanent corps of experts and the men a body temporarily devoting d portion of their time to military training in order that they may enter civil life with sense of national service and with superior equipment for success"
 Spirit Is All Important
 Tt is difficult to beievc,' he said, denying any danger of mlitarism, that an army could be formed of Americans, educated in our common
 
 democratic atmosphere of our in stitutions, which would still be hostile to those institutions and liberties. The world war has shown quite clear ly that armies reflect the spirit of the people from whom they come rather than create a spirit of their own. so that the size of the army is not so important from the point of view now under alteration as the kind of an army"
 The selectivc service law was ac- tcDted as a fair means of assigning men to military service in time of war MT Baker said, but compulsory service in time of peace would be "a i poor substitute for the Volunteer ] principle properly applied Raising i a standing army by financial induce | ment is too costly to contemplate, he added leaving only the method of ..rna}line enlistment in the army an educational opportunity" to furnish 1 the troops.
 The recommendation for an in creased standing army, he declared , should not be taken to indicate a dis inclination toward the prospect of : disarmament.
 : Army Is stern Business.
 Those who know the spirit of the American armN,' the secretary said twill not ascribe to it any provoca tive temper. There is glory left in the career and the sacrifice of the soldier, i but the mild and spectacular contests of an early age have become a stern

lem which might we'll have caused grave apprehension,' the report saiod. Ihe armies of France, Great Britain and Italy had borne for three years the furious and deadly assaults of the great German military machine, the toll levied by battle upon the man power of these nations had been ap- pall1ng, and it was becoming increas- 1ngly difficult for them to maintain their divisions at full strength. The submarine peril menaced the supply of munitions of war and of foodstuffs to great civil populations.
 M eanWhile the German armies had crushed longplanned offensives by the allied armies with apparent ease, and by the collapse of Russia were daily being strengthened by divisions of trained soldiers brought from the east ern front until the menace of superior numbers and apparently inexhaustible supplies of the munitions of war haunted the councils of the allied DOW CTS.
 ''But those who visited General Pershing's headquarters during the war know that from the beginning there was resolution and a clear sighted knowledge of the size of the task. It would have been idle to plan for small Am erican army. On the other hand, it required imagination and daring to plan for a large one to take a million American men to France, separate them from home by 5000 miles of ocean, and subject them to the hazard of the uncertain and di- minshins food supplies of Europe And there still remained the further question: If these difficulties could be overcome, could they be overcome in time?
 Gen. Pcrshing and his associates gave no room to doubt and accepted no counsel except that of determina- ton. When the critical hour came and the combined energies of the United States and Great Britain did surpass all previous estimates and land 2,OOO.- 900 men in France, the arrangements made for their reception and for their maintenance were found adequate: and had the war gone on and the 80 di- vision program been carried out. the imagination and daring of these early plans would still have been adeuuate.
 Tt is a wonderful story and exhibits at it's best tho confidence in their in stitutions which Americans may justly haVe.'
 Opposes Air Department
 MT. Baker opposes creation of a de partment of the air because of the un- developed state of the industry, neoes- sitating federal regulation" as well as because of military considerations It would be just fatal to separate forces from the army, he maintained.
 Since June 30, 1918, the report shows, 1t has been found necessary. to use federal troops on 16 separate ac CaSions to preserve law and order The incidents listed range from Industrial Workers of tho World activities ,,, Arizona to recent movements in tha coal fields.

Last year we thought the ze. nth of high raw fur prices was reached, but indications are that some of the more common furs will advance still higher, owing to a greater demand than supply. That a lot of trapping will be done this season is not doubted, but it is not likely the market will be slumped. There will not only be a big domestic demand for furs, but also a depleted European mar ket to cater to. O. interest to the farm trapper is the fact that the common fur bearers are the ones that will net the trapper the most money. Muskrat, skunk, mink, 'coon, weasel and fox are all greatly in demand and will bring high prices this coming season. - WfU Bros. C G., Forf WaJne, Md.

Trappers will be well paid for their time and efforts this winter. An unusually good demand and high prices will prevail for fur bearers. Every member of the Fox family is popular and bring ing high prices. Fisheris a close second and the price is very high. It will take millions of Muskrat to satisfy the American consump- ton. The Hudson Seal coat is in the height of it's popularity. American dyers are enlarging their shops to increase their ca pacity for seal dyeing. Every fur-bearer collected in this sea- son will command high market prices. -A. 8. shN6ert, Mt., Chi fQo0,

This is a big year for the trap per. Fur stocks are practically cleaned up and manufacturers are bare, therefore all indications point that the demand for raw furs will continue strong. But do not hoard your furs for later sale. Ship today while the prices are at the top and supply the shortest. In many cases the early unprime collection of furs is apt to command full prices to supply the immediate demand. The Co., Operative Raw Fur Co.,, Detroit, Mich.

The London Fall sales compared with Spring sales show marked declines in some furs. Reports are coming in that large quanti- ties of furs were bought in by the owners and much merchan- disc remained unsold on account of limits based upon the abnor- mally high prices that have pre- vailed in the States. The market here will undoubtedly reflect the London market to a great extent. Whether this is a temporary furry downward in the Fur Market or an indication of permanent and still lower prices, we will not at- tempt to say.-West Coast Gro- cery Co.,, Tacoma.

Fur stocks carried over from last season, are very low. As a result there is a big demand for the new catch. Fur styles were never so popular in this country and reports state that the same condition prevails in Europe. The world wants American furs. As a result of the big shortage the heavy demand now is for the blue, early caught skins. We be- lieve these furs will bring more at this time than they will after the prime furs come to the mar ket.-Lincoln Hide and Fur Co.,, Lincoln, Nebraska.

The market is opening up ex- tremely high and while we have a wonderful demand for every thing on the list at good prices we just want to sound a note of warning that prices are awfully high, and general conditions are somewhat unsettled, and labor troubles might have a depressing effect, so we believe that the best advice we can give you is to ship just as fast as you get enough to make a fair-sized shipment FnNsteN Bros.

Fur prices are clear out of sight-higher even than you and 1 ever dreamed of, and it is my prediction that every piece of fur which will come to our Denver market this season will command a higher price than ever before in the history of the fur business. You have before you today the greatest opportunity for making big fur profits that you have ever had in your life-greater than you will probably ever have again in your life-even greater than last season. and that is certainly going some. 4. .Sfephens S' Co.,, Den0sv.

Fur prices are dangerously high and we can see no sane req son for speculation on the part of trappers or country collectors. The market is in a good, healthy condition, and in our opinion present prices will be maintained for some time to come, but if there is any change in the future we think it will be lower rather than higher. .-Abyaham Eur Co.,, .SI.

There has never before been so strong a demand by so great a buying power as is now evident. Purchases are being made by dealers and manufacturers not only for local consumption. but for shipment for foreign account. The experience of previous years indicate that possibly higher prices will prevail as the season advances. -J Z. Pr0niy'S Sons, Ne1p York.
