BAKER SENDS 1919
 GREETING TO ARMY
Says Year 'Will Show What
 United States IS."

Washington, Jan. 2-Secretary Baker has sent the following New Years greeting to the men of the army. to be read at all camps and cantonments at home and overseas:
 ITO you who have fulfilled the promise of the nation in reserve at promise of the nation overseas and you who have stood ready in reserve at home I send greeting for the new year.
 The year of 1918 has shown what America can do-1919 will show what America is.
 Your part in the great accom- pIishment has been a vital one. Tho part you will bear in the days to come will be no less important for our country. The process of de mobilization Is moving swiftly, in or der and according to plan. Clearly everything cannot be done at once, and patience will be needed. Each step must follow the step before, and some units will go quickly. while oth- CTS may be held a little longer for reasons that are very real. though sometimes not apparent on the sur face,
 As America made her power felt more quickly than the foe thought possible, so she will return that pow CT to the pursuits of peace with all due speed. You have shared in the pride of the first accomplishment, SC must your patience aid iR the pres ent adjustment to new conditions The privilege of having stood in thc ranks of the army of victorious de mocracy will be your pride througf the years to come. If fortune has decreed that only weeks or months remain for you to stand in those ranks, instead of bloody years as oul allies have done, then bear your. selves through the remaining days 1T a way to increase that pride.
 "The best wishes of the country for 1919 and all the coming years arc yours. To these I add my owr heartiest good wishes and the conf dence that in the future, as ex-sol dIers, you will continue to reflect tho highest honor of our country"

DESERTIONS FROM
 ., s, ARMY ARE ON THE INCREASE

Hartford, Jan. 2-Temptations to desert from the army have multiplied as result of the cessation of hostin- ties overseas, and the public bears increased responsibility both in de- teoung deserters and in combating tho temptations. By added efforts in overcoming conditions tending to increase assertion, and by added vig dance in detecting such offenders the public will be acting for the best interests of the soldiers themselves, says the Defense Council.
 All persons should, in their respec- tive communities, watch for men In uniform concerning whom nothing is known, and, if circumstances seem so to warrant, should report such men to the police or to the sheriff, says the statement It IS further pointed out that absent without leave" Is an offense only less serious than assertion. Both are court martial offenses, and the maximum punishment for assertion Is d-ath.
 I've should not submit to the
 
 is no longer a serious matter. At no time were the dangers of deserton more great. If 1t once becomes gen eraIly believed that desertion is be- ing conuived at desertion will be- come epidemic in all our camps and the entire morale of our forces bs broken up and all possibility of or derly demobiIization destroyed. Fur thermore, it will mean that many young men of high chaacter will. through a misunderstanding of the situation and through the contagion of the desertton of others, desert, be apprehended, and be compelled, in stead of returning to their homes, to undergo penal servftude. If all de serton is effectively and vigorously apprehended now, before any possi- bIe epidemic has arisen, it will mean that the punishment for desertion will be made less severe, and that far fewer men will be punished in the long run "

1utely unreliable. Epidemics were
raging throughout Russia and there
were not enough collins for the dead.
Communications were at a standstill
