BAKER To OFFER
AN EDUCATIONAL
MILITARY PLAN
President Said to Indorse
This Universal
Training.

Washington. May 16-Secretary Eak.
er Is expected soon to make public
announcement of a definite stand in
favor Of universal educa tional military
trtining, with a statement Of bis reasons.
1t is assumed here that President Will
son mas approved mis- plan.
The plan understoyd ID to be favored
by Secretary Baker contemplates the use
Of the military establishment as a me-
dunn for training the youth of the ma
ton: First, along academic am. feca-
tional lines, and, as an entirely separate
AMI subordinated feature, in r,Idimcnta-y
military science. The secretary's sug-
gested program is said to be based mi
tally on the benefits which will accrue
to the country from the higher average
Of intelligence and the improved standard
of physical well-being Of the young men
who would be taken annually into the
training machine.
The favorable results Of the operation
of the A. e. +. university system are
believed to have largely brot MIR. Baker
to MS opinion. Not only have the 1hou-
sands of soldiers in France shown great
cagerness to avail themselves of the
opportunity Of exchanging guns for
books. but the progress made under
the specially selected instructors and
win the carefully designed schedules has
been so rapid as to surprise prominent
educators connected with the work,
While the secretary's announcement is
expected to be entirely an exposition Of
his personal views, it is assumed here
that his advocacy Of a form of educa-
honal military national training will
mean the inclusion of some such plan
as basic part Of the military policy to
be laid before congress,

Most of the German protests against
the peace treaty terms Received by the
allies are said to impress the allied chiefs
as being designed as propaganda. 1t is
pointed out that the German notes bear
evidence of having been written before
the German delegation had seen the
treaty, the text of the document not be-
ing quoted. No further notes were pre-
sented by the enemy representatives on
Thursday.
Poland's request for a part Of the

HAND; FORCE At ADAL|A

Paris, May i6.-An extensive al
lied naval concentration has been
begun at Smyrna, in connection
with mandate to Greece to admin
ister the city.
The British and the French each
have fleets on the scene, with land
ing parties. The Greeks have a bat
tleship and five gunhoats, and the
italians have five large warships.
The United States naval forces are
the battleship Arizona and four de-
stFoyers. The various allied naval
contingents are drawn from the
forces in the Adriatic and the Black
sea.
Troops also are being concentrat-
ed from Saioniki. 1t is understood
that British and French forces are
cooperating in the Greek admiais-
tratiye mandate.
The italian attitude has not been
disclosed, but the recent landing of
Italian troops at Adalia. on the
southern coast of Asia Minor, and
the presence of an Italian squadron
at Smyrna leads to the belief that
Italy is seeking to safeguard her in
terests in Asiatic Turkey.
