Permanent Peace Time Army
of $4,000 Officers and
Men Recommended By the
War Department and the
Plans Are Embodied in a
Bill to Be Acted on By
Congress

Washington, D. c., Aug 4.-Mainte.
nance of one field army with war
strength of l,25O0OO men is proposed in
a bill establishing a permanent military
policy which was sent to Congress to-
day by Secretary Baker.
The active force of this army would
be $4,000 regulars while the remainder
would be young men who had taken a
three months military training course,
which would be compulsory for all 10
year-old youths. The reserve strength
would be used to fill out the 20 infan-
try divisions and one cavalry division,
into which it is proposed to divide the
regular army.
Secretary Baker said in letter ac.
companying the bill that the plan had
not yet been referred to General Per.
shing, but that pending his return from
France, it could be used as the basis for
hearings which the Senate military com
mittee is to have before drafting legisla-
tion establishing a permanent military
policy.
"The bill as drawn said Secretary
Baker, provides for system of uni
versal training for a very brief period
applicable to all male citizens, with suit.
able provision for exemptions and defer
ments.
ut does not, however, provide for any
reserve obligation, since it is unnecessary
af al ~
time of emergency. The period suggest.
ed for training is brief, but not too brief
it is believed, to secure careful stock
taking of the health and physical condi
tion of the young manhood Of the nation
and the institution of such remedial
measures as may be practical nor toe
brief to initiate against the habits OF
orderliness, coordination and self-cart
which proved so valuable in the recent
training of men preparing for active
military service. Nor is this period be
lieved to be too brief to entail great ad
vantage to the country should any future
emergency require it to call for service
Regarding the chemical warfare serv
ice, Mr. Baker wrote:
"The work appropriate to be done by
the chemical warfare service in peact
times ought, in my Judgment, to be car
ried on in the engineers department ant
should consist of such research and prep
aration as would enable our army Away
to defend itself against the aggressiv,
use of chemical weapons and to over
match any adversary in offensive opera
tions should they begin against u.s.
The secretary also proposed that tn,
inspector generals department be abol
ished, saying it was clear that the in
spection Of purely military training
ought to be centralized and carried ou
under the direction of the training di
vision of the general staff
"It will be observed" Mr. Baker con
tinued, ''that the bill suggests no chang
in the existing law with regard to tn
organization Of the National Guard AM
its relation to the regular army. 1t i
assumed the national defense act federal
izing the guard will be retained in fore
and that if any readjustment of its rela
tions to the regular army is desired, i
will be suggested in the hearing"

afternoon to witness the first of the Sc
ries of matinee horse races to be held at
Barre, Waterbury and Essex. 1t was
spirited crowd and much interest was
shown in the races. Many expressions
of appreciation of the fact that the local
drivers and horsemen had taken so much
interest in reviying sport which had
not been enjoyed in Barre for many
years were heard.
There were five races, one mixed
race; IL heats decided them. All the
races in the five classes were run off in
straight heats except in class G, when
DR.. Gaines and Belle Loconda had
brush for the first honors. The fastest
time made during the matinee was by
Anna Deem in class A, when she took the
first heat at 2:l0h. She also won the
second heat. Daisy G. won the class B
race in the first two heats. Mae B. won
in the d class, as did Braga in the half

The officials in the judges stand were
Charles Gordon, starter, Herbert Leonard
and John Trow, judges. The success of
this race will lead directly to the Water
bury matinee next Saturday afternoon
when Barre horsemen will 60 there to
race.
Judging from the remarks and enthu-
siasm among the horsemen and fans, this
