BAKER SAYS LAW FIXES STRENGTH OF THE ARMY War Secretary Explains Reason
For Recmltlng Force Ip to 280JMM1 Men. ^
WASHINGTON. December 10.— Provisions of the army reorganization act -fixing the peace-time strength of the regular army at approximately 28O.O0O men are mandatory and leave "no discretion to anybody.” Secretary Baker told the house military committee today*, explaining his action in ordering / recruitment up to that figure. The sectary had been aeked by Chairman Kahn why the limit of 1T5.OO0 provided in the army appropriation
bill had been exceeded.
Mr. Baker said the appropriation figure was merely a joint judgment of the congress and the war department making a forecast as to the probable maximum recruitment during the year. There had been, he added, no hgreement or understanding that it would not be exceeded. Representative Greene (Rep.. Vt.) apked whether it had not been the practice in the past for the executive branch to fix the strength of the armv bv policy within the limits set
by the congress Thv iM^etanr in- ^'afforded a n^pportunfty o7which 1*5* 1,0 President Wilson could take advan-

CABLE NEGOTIATIONS FAIL Goverameat *ad XX estera l aioa to Coatiaae Goart Ffght. WASHINGTON. December 10.—Efforts of counsel for the government and the Western Union Telegraph Company to settle out of court the injunction proceedings brought against Secretary Daniels to prohibit the navy from interfering with cable work by the company at Miami, Fla., have failed. Justice Stafford, of the District of Columbia supreme court; was informed today. The court the* gave the company until next Wednesday to file briefs and the government until December 20 to prepare replies. The attorney# sought to reach an agreement by which, on Rhe promise of the company that no attempt would be made to connect the Barbados cable at Miami, the government would permit the company to connect the ends of two other cable lines in the outer harbor. It is understood that the Western Union, however, wished a formal court injunctipn while the agreement was in effect and the government would not agree to this. '
The war secretary sa d the Issue was 'merely, a matter of interpretation of the law" and that there was nothing in the international or external situation to require rapid expansion of the army at this time. Chairman Kahn said the committee members were afraid "that there may be a revulsion of feeling in the country because of the large burden of taxation that would be imposed by an army of 287.OOO men” and he indicated some action would be taken at once in an effort to reduce the size of the army temporarily at least to
around 175,000 men.
