 VIEW OF BAKER

London, Jan. 2s.---An interesting outline of Americas scheme for train ing her new army is given by Newton Baker, United States Secretary of War, in the Anglo-American supple ment of the Manchester Guardian which was issued yesterday.
 Our new army is to be an educa- tional institution Secretary Baker writes, dividing the time of its re- cruits equally between military train fin gand education. It Is to take youths and make soldiers of them for the period of enlistment, but to re- turn them when enlistment is over, equipped with trades or other educa- ton of hand or head as their aptitude shall determine.
 Schools are being established under ] trained educators in English and his- tory and the elements of science are being taught, and, in model work shops under trained mechanics skilled workmen are being made of our sol- diers To such an army fathers and mothers will send their sons as the more fortunate now send their sons to l technical schools and colleges.
 ''The public attitude toward such an army will not be that it is an expen- sive investment in idle and unpro- ductive men, but rather that 1t is part of an educational system which in i America seeks to eQualize opportunity
 in democratic fashion to the sons of | rich and poor alike"

A company official who has been in correspondence with most of the leading companies states that they accident insurance was satisfa ctory during 1919, the loss ratio on health insurance was too high to af- ford a reasonable profit.
 While nobody can forte11 what a.s- cident and health companies will agree upon, one well informed person thinks that the period of compensa- ton will be limited to ffty-two weeks irresp of house confinement and that compensation will be given only for full loss of time, that premium rates per $5 of weekly indemnity will be made S9 for ages 1850 and $12 for ages 51 and up, and that where the policies provide only for compen- sation while the assured is confined to the house, the rates may be made $1 lower than the fore going.
