Secretary Baker Tells Military
Committee That He Hopes
That No Such Contingency
Is in Prospect.
FUTURE OF ARMY TO
AWAIT PEACE TERMS
Seven Hundred Thousand Men
Have Been Discharged and
Million More To Be Released
Within Five Weeks,

Washington, Jan. 3.--No decision
has been reached by the war depart
ment on the question of universal mil
itary service. Secretary Baker told the
house military committee today, and
he indicated that no definite project
for permanent military establish
ment would be presented to congress
until the peace conference had con-
cluded its work.
When asked whether it would be
necessary to keep a large force in
Europe for at least two years. the
secretary said:
We hope that is not true; we are
not planning for it,
He said 100000 men had been dis
charged from the army since the ar
mistice was signed and that another
million men would be discharged
within the next five weeks.
Mr.. Baker said that a bill authoriz-
ing Il regular army of 100000 men
to be raised by voluntary enlistment
would be submitted shortly to con-
gress. This army, he said, was in the
nature of temporary military es
tahishment, which would tide over
the period until peace is re-establish-
ed
In regard to keeping the sixteen
national army cantonments and some
of the national guard camp sites. Mr..
Baker said it was his personal judg-
ment that the cantOnment sites should
all be purchased to be held for di-
visional training centers for whatever
army the nation may decide 10 main
tain.
Universal Training Suggested.
Universal military training was
brought up by Representative Kahn
of California, who will be chairman
of the committee, when the repub.s-
cans organize the next house. Mr..
Kahn said the whole question of the
future cantonments seemed to him
to be involved with the permanent
military policy
rs it the policy of the war depart
ment,' he asked. 'to favor universal
military training?'
The war department" Secretary
Baker replied, has no policy on that
subject Personally, | do not believe
it would be wise to attempt to settle
the question of our permanent army
policy before the peace conference
has arrived at it's conclusions.
Mr.. Baker said it was proposed to
continue permanently the army rate
Of pay fixed for the war period, prac-
tically 81 a day for privates
Asked whether the war department
had any information as to the posi-
bilty of raising 100000 men by vol
untary enlistment, the secretary said
no definite information on that point
was available. but he added:
Il have feeling, however. that If
the voluntary system is given a
chance to supply the peace time army,
with the very definite understanding

Again Insists Five Year Period
Necessary to Test Unified
Direction Placed IN Effect
During War,
SAYS RATES MAY BE
REDUCED THIS YEAR
Increase Would Have Been
Necessary Even Under Con-
tinuanCe of Private Control
to Prevent Loss, He Says,

Washington, Jan. Accomplish
mentS of railroads under federal con-
troll IN the last twelve months and
arguments for a five year continu-
ance of government operation to
provide a fair test of unified direc-
lion were recited today by Director
General McAdoo, testifying before the
senate interests to commerce COM
mittee which took up consideration
of his recommendation for extension
Cf control until 1921.
After citing reforms effected under
unified control, the director general
said:
II believe that under tho hard-
caps of war conditions sufficient
showing has been made to indicate
that all the reforms nave MENTION
ed are desirable as perman"n; peace
measures. Yet it is clegr ;har the
general public has not had an nppor-
tunity to weigh the real value of
what has been acComp ished. Tho
public is entitled to have, before tho
llesent federal control shah he ter
minated a reasonably fair test under
Icace conditions of the advantages
to be derived from these reforms.
ut will be impossible to review the
results of even one year of federal
control under peace conditions until
the spring of 1920, and it will then be
too late for congress to legislate be
fore the end of the twenty-one
months period after the declaration
of peace. provided in the present law
for government control Operations
under peace conditions with tenure
so short as the twenty-one months
cannot possibly constitute fair
test"
Indeed the difficulties with opera
tion during the twenty-one months
period will be so serious that | do
not see how the government car he
fairly askcd to encounter them"
Another reason for longer test
period said the director general. is
the advisabilty of having adequate
information on valuation of railroad
property. now being gathered by the
interstate commerce commission to
guide congress in legislation.
May Lower Rates.
Referring to the increase in freigh.
and passenger rates, six months ago.
Mr., McAdoo said that similar action
would have been necessary even un
Gcr private management to prevent
serious losses, and said it should be
possible to lower rates materially this
year
Equitable distribution of the rate

of the fact that some are unusually

The City School conducted a
Junior Red Cross Roll Call last

the local chapter direct. The
balance, amounting to $37.25,
will be raised by an entertain

A stranger in Rockingham
Sunday was observed to have

appeared to be ''under the

Investigation later disclosed
two empty bottles in the room
one a six-ounce bottle of "Lilly
of France" perfume, containing
76 per cent alcohol; and the 9TH
er a four-ounce bottle of EAU
de Quinine" hair tonic, 68 per
cent strong. Just imagine how
hard up a man must get in order
to drink perfumery and hair
tonic! Gin and flavoring ex-
tracts were bad enough.

The outstanding feature of the

Gibson who was in France or
November 18th, 1918, but who is
now back in the Roberdel High

esting talk on France, her people
