MORE MEN NEEDED, SAYS pAkERi
He Asins for Legislation for Volun-
tasy Resumption Of Enlist1nents.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Immediae
Legislation authorizing resumption Of
'olutary enlistment in the army, and
tho repeal Of provisions of the So
aective service act limiting enlist
i. ents to the period Of the war, was
urged to-day by Secretary Baker in
\ letter to Chairman Dent, OF the
House military committee.
Without the legislation, Secretary
Baker said;t the army,after the. proc
lamationf OF peace. would not have
sufficient forces to perform essential
military duties. including the polic-
ing of the Mexican border. H
This legislation is urgently neces-
Eary," he wrote, because as soon
after the proclamation OF peace as
the existing emergency will permit,
those who have enlisted or been
drafted to serve during the emergen-
ty, must all, In accordance with the
law, be discharged. Demobilization
Of these men is now being rapidly
made and It is expected soon to re-
lease them at q rate of over 10000
a day, or 100000 a week.
The only men who will remain in
the service are those enlisted mon in
the regular army on or prior to April
], 1917, and whose enlistments have
not yet expired. This small num-
Der has been cut down by casualties
and other vicissitudes until. the en-
tire military force available for
+. such duties as policing the
Mexican border, garrisoning our in
sular possessions, manning the sea
coast defences of the United States,
occupying permanent posts and garri-
sons, protecting the large amount of
recently acquired government proper
ty and maintaining and operating the
camps and environments in this coun-
try to which troops returned from
overseas may be sent for prompt de-
mobilization, will be entirely made
quate.
Early passage Of this legislation
will enable the War Department to
replace by voluntary enlistment, men
drafted or enlisted for the emergency
who can then be discharged from the
service and returned to their homes
and families.
A bill embodying the desired legis-
lation will be introduced tomorrow.

the United States, for extension of re

During the war, campaigns for money
were so frequent, and the public re
sponded to the calls with such liberal
ity, that many organizations, now that
the war is ended, continue to feel the
need of replenishing their treasures and
cognizant of the spirit of giving which
has been developed in the American
people, have not hesitated to call upon
the public for contributions which, in
the aggregate, appear immense. In
deed, it is time that the public is call
ing a halt to many of these attempts
to induce it to part with cash for so
called humanitarian purposes.
Promoters of many such campaigns are
highlypaid specialists, who have dem

things over to a degree that makes
their services greatly in demand by
those who seek to mulct the public be
