BAKER’S TALK
BEFORE SENATE
i ‘
(Continued from Page 4)
-----
were not between them and the Brit
ish, and so when our troops went there
was an instant and spontaneous rise1
in the morale of the French, but an
equally instant and spontaneous in
sistence that these soldiers who came
from America should continue to come
in an unbroken stream.
“And so we made the election. In
France there is a fighting army, an
army trained in the essentials and in
the beginnings of military discipline
and practice, and trained, seasoned
fighters in this kind of a war on the
actual battlefields where it is taking
place.
“Very early in this war Great Brit
ain, through Balfour and his assist
ants, and France, through Joffre, said
to us, ‘Send us nurses and doctors '
Why, before we were scarcely in the
w'ar American units organized tn ad
vance and anticipation by the Red
Cross were on the battlefield, and there
are tens of thousands of men in Eng
land and in France who now bless the
mission of mercy upon which the first
Americans appeared in France. But
that was not enough. It wras suggested
that further groups of mechanics might
be needed. Nay, we began to see that
w'e were going to be over there in
large force, and the question that then
had to be answered was: How will we
maintain an army in France? Special
studies had to be made of that prob
lem, and this is what they showed:
The railroads and the facilities o!
France were used to the maximum to
take care of the needs of the French
and the British themselves, and that
it would be necessary for us to build
back of our own line an independent
line of communication.”
Mr. Baker told how the railroads and
docks of France were used to their ut
most capacity hy the French them
selves, and it became necessary as a
consequence to construct facilities for
handling and caring for supplies for
the American forces. This necessi
tated taking over and rebuilding and
amplifying a railroad 600 miles long
in order to carry our products from
ports of disembarkation to our bases
Ordnance depots and repair shops and
great magazines had to be built In the
interior. The plans for a single ord
nance repair shops, covering acres of
ground, was designed in America, the
iron work fabricated, disassembled,
put in ships and carried to France and
i. assembled there.
Summing Up
And now let me tie frank with you,"
continued Mr. Baker, “and let your
judgment be frank with me about this,
ibis any army in history, ever since
the beginning of time, been so raised
and eared for as this army has? And
yet has any great enterprise within
Hip knowledge of any man in this room
ever been carried out with more un
tailing justice, with more intelligent
explanation and commendation to the
good sense and patriotism of the Amer
ican people?
“We have got these young men in
camp and they are surrounded from
the day they left home until the day
they come back to it, if in God’s provi
dence they can come back, with more
agencies for their protection and com
tort and health and happiness, phys
ical, spiritual and mental, than any
army that ever went out on a field. |
.a .iicu, with your aid, the army
has been able to practically stamp out
intemperance and vice among the sol
.tiers by the establishment of zones, by
the establishment of patrol systems of
up kind or another. By the training
of these young officers in tiiese train
v camps, young men of experience
ana fine feeling and all that, we have
gotten into this great army the idea
that it can be a strong and effective
military army and still be free fromj
things which, have hitherto weakened
and sapped the vitality and virility of
armies.
Uiu men in the army, men whose
lives have been spent In it from their
ouynuou, ami who have been all over
the continental United States and its
insular possessions wherever our ar
mies have been, who know the life ot
the soldier and the camp and the post,
all say with one accord and no excep
tion that they have never seen any
thing like this, that the disciplinary
problems of the army are reduced to
a negligible quantity.”
"When Lord Northcliffe returned to
England he was invited, as I recall it,
by Lloyd George to accept a position in
his cabinet. He wrote a letter which
was printed in the papers, and in that
he made this casual reference to the
United States. He spoke of his visit
here and spoke of our war prepara
tions in this fashion:
‘"‘War preparations proceeding in
the virile atmosphere of the United
States and Canana with a fervor and
enthusiasm little understood on this
side of the Atlantic.’
Confidence in Outcome
"When it is all told, Mr. Chairman,
it will be a story which I am sure your
committee will be glad to report to the
senate of the United States as being
a tremendous response to a tremen
dous responsibility, and when you have
made this investigation I know that
the American people will feel, as 1
think they have a right to feel, that
we are in this war to win it; that we
are in it to hit, and to hit hard; that
we are in it to co-ordinate our strength1}
with that of our associates; that the
problem is not one of individual star
playing, but of team play with these
veterans and experienced persons un
der actual battle conditions; that more
has been done, perhaps, than the coun
try expected; more than the w’isest in
the country thought was possible to
do. And when the victory is won over
there, Mr. Chairman, the credit will
come to American enterprise and
American determination and to Ameri
can courage, will be an honor to us,
as the tenacity of purpose and splen
did achievements of the British and
French already shed great luster on
the names of great peoples."

HEZEKIAH’S PROGRESS.
Uncle Josh wras on his way to town
one afternoon, and chancing to see
his friend Abner working in an ad
jacent field, he paused for a small
chat over the barbed-wire fence. In
cidentally inquiry was made after Ab
ner’s eldest son, Hezekiah,
“Hezekiah is in the city now,” an
swered Abner, with some show of
pride. “Been there most a year.”
“Yes, I knowr that,” returned Uncle
Josh. “What I was wonderin’ was
which side he was on.”
“Which side he wras on?” queried
Abner, with a puzzled expression. “I
don’t just quite git ye.”
“What I mean, Abner,” explained
Uncle Josh, “is Hezekiah buyin’ gold
bricks yet, or has he started to sell
’em?”—Dayton News.
