ARMY REORGANIZATION IS THEME OF REPORT PREPARED BY BAKER

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29 The poetwar reorganization of the army marks a new era in the military history of -the countrv. RAr.reta.rv Raker declares

in his anuat' report, raadepuhiIc to. day, as It provides an effective model m which great armies could be swiftly "built In times of emergency. Reviewing the military activities of th nation since 11776. Secretary Baker ays that, although the United States was "the most peace-loving of aU nations,", it; had been engaged inrmajor domestioor .foreign wars ahout one out of every four, ryears 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 threap out of every four yeare. " -.-''': ,;rit is apparent, therefore,lthat while we do not need a great standing army we must live In-the world, aa it Is while we utrugglO to make it what U should be." Mr. ! Baker leays. !Wft nust have abody'of trainedmen large enough in numbers 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 son to fight- its battles outarmed and out?hielded by an adversary." In st udying the lessons ot the World war. the war department had proceeded on the accepted theory that the infantry remained the backbone of the army, the report said, although the importance of other arms of the service had been greatly increased by the swift developments of the war. -Profound and fundamental changes tn'armament were introduced and many of the instrumentalities devised are apparently, only at the beginning of their development," fays the war

secretary, "The infantry itself is no longer the foot-soldier armed with the musket, but the foot-soldier with the long-range, high-power repeating rifle, the automatic rifle and the machine gun, which, in some of its uses, is analagous to light artillery. The advance of the infantry is no longer merely covered by protecting artillery fire, but the path of the advance must be cleared of obstructions and its positions, once attained, must be protected by artillery of great power and extreme mobility." ', Mr. Baker makes no comment on universal military training, a plan rejected by congress in enacting the new army reorganization bill, but in reviewing the provisions of the new military law, he says that one of the most important features of ihe legislation is the provision for a "constant and systematic relationship between the national guard and the regular army.
