SEC'Y BAKER SAYS U. 5.
ARMY PRESENTS MODEL
Infantry Still Backbone AL
Though Importance Other
Branches Increased.

washington. Nov. 29.-The postwar
reorga nization Of the army marks q
new era in the military history OF the
country. Secretary Baker declares IN
his annual report, made public yester,
day. as II provides an enective mouei
,er which great armies could De swiftly
built In times OF emergency.
Reviewing the military activities Oh
the nation since 1776, Secretary baker
says that although the United states
was "the most peace-loving Of al na-
fions's IL had been engaged in major
domestic or foreign wars about one OUT
Of every four years during that PERIOD
and that the military powers OF the
country had been In active use IN war
or military operations of some kind
about three out OF every four years.
1T is apparent. therefore. that while
we do not need great standing army,
We must live in the world as II Is while
Ne struggle to make 1t what 1t should
be-" Mr.. Baker said. 1--WE must have
4 body OF trained men large enough IN
number to be an effective working model
upon which great armies can be swiftly
built In event OF emergency
"A justice loving people may be forced
by tragic necessity to resort to war, but
It has no right to ask its sons to fight
it's battles outarmed and outshielded by
an adversary.
In studying the lessons OF the World
war the dar department had proceeded
on the accepted theory that the in
fantry remained the backbone OF tho
army, the report said, although the inn
portance of other arms Of the service
had been greatly increased by the swift
Developments OF war.
