KEEP HOG ISLAND

Secretary of War Declares

2 LAUNCHINGS POSTPONED

Hog Island should be continued
either as government or private ship
building yard.
Secretary of War Baker made this
declaration today while coming to Phil
adclphia to attend the launching of the
Marine at Hog Island.
The launching was postponed to Mon
day. because the water was too low, due
to the high winds.
Mrs. Baker. who will sponsor the
vessel. was with her husband, together
with General Hines, chief of the army
transportation service.

termed only temporary. since the ten

be completed before next September.

What river is it on" he asked
newspapermen.
Asked if he believed the next Presi
dent of the United States would be Il
military man. Secretary Baker smiled.
"Now you're trying to get me in
trouble" he said.
"Tell them you re no prophet" Mrs.
Baker intcrposcd.
"That's right" said the secretary of
war. 81 am no prophet ! will say
now that | am not candidate. nor
will be"
Somebody asked Mr.. Baker if he had
seen the President lately He seemed
to evade this by replying: II am in
constant touch with Mr.. Wilson"
For Universal Training
Mr.. Baker said he was in favor of
universal military training.
'The idea is gaining in favor every
where" he said. Universal training
! does not mean universal service, unless
war impends. when the draft would
make universal service imperative any
way.
"The real purpose Of military train l.
! ing, as ] see it," he explained. would
be the go -mingling of young men from
| the North, the South, the East ana the
West. The interchange of ideas would
make them all better Americans. So
would the training itself, with the cor .

times hamper men from becoming good

The launching party AT Hog Island
was all ready for the word that, would
send the transport into the water. when
at 800 o'clock J. ID. Andrew. superiu
tendcnt of the division of hull construc

machine then starts to work and the
real money slips In one compartment
and the plain paper In another COM
partment. After a little wait the
person who furnishes the good money
to have 1t doubled, is handed a pack
age and a dollar bill is on top. He
is told to wait twenty-four hours and
when he opens the package he finds
