WAR DEPARTMENT UNDECIDED ABOUT
 STANDING ARMY
Permanent Military Establishment to Be Decided After the
 Peace Conference.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary of War Baker told the House Mili- tary committee today that the war department still remains undecided regarding universal military service, and that no definite project for a permanent military establishment will be presented to Congress until after the peace conference has con- cludd their business.
 He said that he hoped it will not become iecessary to keep a large American military force in Europe for two years, as indicated shortly after the signing of the armisitice.
 Seven hundred thousand men, he said, had been discharged from the army since the signing of the amis- tice and that it is expected that an- other million men will be dis charged within five weeks.

BIDS INVITED FOR COMPLETING THE
 GOVT. RAILROAD
Private Contracting Firm May Be Given Contract to Finish the
 Government Railroad.

According to Seattle reports re. ceived in Fairbanks recently, the Sims, Carey Co.,, of Seattle, have been asked by he department of the interior to submit bids for the completion of the Alaska railroad
 They are reported to have signi. fled their willingness to submit bids but make the stipulation that there shall be no interference by the Fed eral commission which has the hand ling of the railroad proposition at the present time.
 The Houghton company, well known railroad contractors, have also been asked by the department to submit bids.
 The Sims, Carey company are contractors in big way and until recently were employed largely by the government in connection with the sl,uce production industry. They are big railroad contractors and own the longest logging rail- railroad in the world.
 Enquiry at the Nenana office of the Alaskan Engineering commission failed to find confirmation of the above story.
 Frederick D. Browne, engineer in charge, stated that he had heard a rumor regarding the work being let out on contract, but the rumor was of so slight a nature that he did not pay much attention to it. He has not received any official intimation of any change impending or contemplated in the construction of the Government railroad.

WASHlNGTON.-I question of permanent organization of the army has been deferred for consideration after the close of the peace con- ference. Secretary Baker, in his annual report, made public recently, says this course is determined upon since ''the military needs of the United States cannot be prudently assessed until that conference shall have determined the future inter- national relations of the world"
 For temporary purposes, however, MT. Baker announces that he will lay before Congress plan for re- organization for the regular army, (Which shall continue as the nucleus of any future military establish ment."
 The secretary also indicates his intention to press for perpetuation by law of the strong general staff organization built up during the war.
 ''I have refrained in this report" 7" Mir. Baker says, from making spe. cific recommendation fop future legislation for two reasons. In the first place the signing of the armis- tice has not formally closed the war. We have at present a great establishment which can not be immediately dissolved, and the activities of the department for some time at least must be concerned with what we have. In the second place, the peace conference is about to assemble and the military needs of the United States can not be assessed until that con- ference shall have determined the future international relations of the world. The department will present to the Congress a plan for the main tenance of a regular army which shall continue as the nucleus of any future military establishment, pend- ing the time when the experience through which we have gone can be digested and the future needs of the nation maturely considered.
 "In any case it is clear that the of officers and a constant study of the science of warfare will be necessary, and it is my hope that the great military academy at West Point can be supplemented by an enlargement and broadening of the special schools which are at present organized but should be made to take on more the character of post graduate courses and to de- 1elop and train research specialists n the several arms. This subject however, is one upon which casual comment is not helpful and I refer to it only because it seems the one clear indication from our eas- oerience as to our future policy"
 The story of the American army's part in the war overseas, Secretary Baker leaves very largely to Gen sral Pershing, whose report cover ng operations up to November 20, following the cessation of hostilities, t. attached to that of the secretGg IS is the report of Chairman FosI lick, of the Commission on Train ng Camp Activities.

 "An adequate account of the .ac- ivities of the department for the 7ear now ended can be written,Y Nr. Baker says, "only in the long caches of historical inquiry when here will be time and opportunity l

REPORT OF BAKER
 SHOWS VOLUME OF
 WORK DURING WAR

to examine in detail not merely statistical exhibits which tell in num- bers of men and guns what America did, but also to appraise the con- tributions of patriotic zeal and serv- ice which came from field and fac tory, from civilian and soldier alike and which represent in their aggre- gate the life of the nation concen- trated upon a single purpose"
 In his brief recital of the events of the war, Mir. Baker selects the battle of the Mouse as from the viewpoint of military strategy, Americas greatest contribution to the successful outcome of the war;" since by that attack of the Ameri- can armies the Sedan-Mezieres rail way, the main artery of the German supply system, was cut. The entire available strength of the American army in France, 2S divisions, were in line in the second week of Octo- Der, he says, making yard by yard progress against desperate enemy re- sistance which finally was worn out land on November 1, the American troops broke through" The object of the drive the strategic conception of which included the British drive at the northern end of the railway system and the French advance in the center, was accomplished on November 2, when the Americans entered the outskirts of Sedan to be joined there the next day by the French.
 "The meeting of the French and American troops on this historic spot" Mir. Baker says, "signalized the defeat of the German arms, defeat as decisive and humilating as that forced upon France 47 years before at the same spot. If there had been questions before as to the acceptance of the armistice terms, the Allied advance culminat- ing in this meeting at Sedan left no choice in the matter"
 In sketching the building up of the war army, MT. Baker selects a few striking figures as distractions of what each step meant and what has been accomplished. On the day the armistice was signed, he de- clares more than 25 per cent of the entire male population of the country between the ages of Is and 31 was in the military service, the army having reached a total of 5, ,664, ,00O men, more than 2,000,000 of whom were in Europe, as com pared with strength of 189,674 in March, 1917, a week before war was declared.
 To illustrate the speed of this the report cites the fact that the British army in France had reached it's high mark in the sum- mer of 1917, three years after the ! beginning of the war, and that ! figure was Slightly more than 2, 100000 men," It took 19 months for the United States to reach the same strength there, but MT. Baker points out that during those years of battle, British manpower had been heavily called upon to replace , while for many months the flow of American troops all went to augment the force being To some extent this was offset, he adds, by the far

First Excursion Sees
Many Off to Seashore

Harrisburg folks promise to be
quite prominent at New Jersey.
There is a reason. Beginning to-
day tickets good for sixteen days
will be sold Thursdays to Atlantic
City, Cape May, Wildwood, Wild
wood Crest. Anglesea, Ocean City,
Sea Isle City, Stone Harbor or
Avalon. The rate will be S6.4S for
round trip. The dates the excursions
will run will be to-day, August 81
and August 2S.
AS an evidence that Harrisburg
appreciates good treatment upwards
of 200 tickets were sold before noon
to-day. Heretofore the people in
this city were obliged to pay 1895
or go to Marysville and pay S6.24.
Some took advantage of the Marys-
vile price, but there were kicks
loud and long, because of the dis
elimination against Harrisburg.
Harrisburg will fare little better.
Tickets will be sold for regular
trains leaving Harrisburg 9.25 a. m,
and 1901 p. NJ. To-day a special
train was run to Atlantic City leav-
ing this afternoon at 2.05, and car
ried many passengers. On the next
two Thursdays the special train will
leave here at 4.05 p. m. Tickets
will be good to return on any train
except extra fare trains, and are also
good for stop-over in Philadelphia.
