REVIEWING THE
MILITARY ACTIVITIES
OF THE NATION
NEW ERA IN HISTORY MARKED
BY POSTWAR MODELLING OF
ARMY, BAKER SAYS.
Body of Trained Men Needed BY Ma.
ton, Cabinet Member Adds, in An
nuaI Report-Great Military Force
Regarded as Unnecessary. {.

WaShingtOn.-The postwar reorgan-
ization of the army marks new era
in the military history of the country,
Secretary Newton d. Baker declares in
his annual report, made public, as it
provides an effective model on which
great armies could be built swiftly in
times of emergency. Reviewing the
military activities of the nation since
1776, Secretary Baker says that al
though the United States was "the
most peace-lOving of all nations" it
had been engaged in major domestic
or foreign wars about one out of every
four years during that period, and that
the military power 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 |
a great standing army, we must live in |
the world as it is while we struggle to I
make it what it shOul be-" Mr.. Baker |
says.
1--WE must have body of trained
men large enough in numbers to be
an effective working model upon which
great armies can be built swiftly in
event of emergency. A justice-loving |
people may be forced by tragic neces-
sity to resort to war, but it has no
right to ask it's sons to fight its battles
outarmed and outshielded by an adver-
sary."
In studying the lessons of the World
War the War Department had pro-
ceeded on the accepted theory that the
infantry remained as the backbone of
the army, the report said, although the
Importance of other arms of the serv-
ice had been increased greatly by the
swift developments of war;
profound and fundamental changes
in armament were introduced, and
many of the inStrumentalities devised
apparently are only at the beginning
of their development, said the War
Secretary. "The infantry itself no
longer is the foot-soldier armed with
the musket, but the foot-soldier with
the long-range, high-power repeating
rifle, the automatic rifle and the ma
chine gun, which, in certain of its
uses, is analogous to light artillery.
The advance of the infantry no longer
is covered merely by protecting artil-
lery fire, but the path of the advance
must be cleared of distractions, and
its position, once attained, must be
protected by artillery Of great power
and extreme mobility
Mr.. Baker makes no comment on
universal military training, plan re-
jected by Congress in enacting the ,
new army reorganization bill, but in
reviewing the provisions of the new
law he says that one of the
most important features of the legis- ,
lation is the provision for a constant
and systematic relationship between
the National Guard and the regular :
army" This provision, Mr.. Baker de-
clares, will do much to prevent an '
which in the past have been !
the not unnatural, but nevertheless I'M
happy, characteristic of the relation
ships of the two forces"
