Sec. Baker Says Ships Are Biggest Problem (Continued from Page One) spector general, nine cases being inves tigated. He told of investigations which resulted in diecharge of Lieut. Charles W. Cole and Lieut. John D. Dye for neglect of patients, as published in the newspapers Saturday anti Sunday. The judge advocate general advised adding a sentence to the dismissal and that is being considered. "The department sets its face against that sort of callous disregard of sol diers' health.” Secretary Baker said. "I want the doctors and the country to know that their lives and welfare are a responsibility which I will not |ic:rnit to be dodged or handled in a cavalier fashion." Daily Camp Inspections While camp commanders were held lesponstble for health conditions, he said, the surgeon general’s office had daily iAspections, and lie had appointed Dr. John A. Hornsby, a hospital e'xpcrt, as his personal inspector. telegram' front Hr Hornsby re carding camp conditions which Sen ator Chamberlain assailed disclosed them "greatly improved" with mortal ity reduced and "ample accommoda tions for all sick.” Secretary Baker read a letter from Mrs. Mary Roberts Rhinehart, tin writer. who has a son in the service, commending hospital conditions she recently inspected. Mrs. Rhinehart said she was impressed by Senator chamberlain s "tragic letters." "But I feel the mothers of the country should know.” wrote Mrs. Rhinehart. "that the number of such cases is sma.ll. It is cruel to allow every mother to judge the medical corps because here and there men are unwilling or unable to give the care that is their duty. "There are conditions to be reme died. The shortage of women nurses1 is serious. But of cruelty and Indif ference I have found nothing. Ninety nine out of a hundred boys are receiv ing better care than they could af ford at home." "Anil I wish to point out further,” added Secretary Baker, "that the. very heads of 1 he medical profession, the masters of the profession, are in con stant touch with the surgeon general.” Vo army could be raised in any country, the secretary contended, with out danger from communicable dis eases All that could be done was to provide every means of science to meet that danger. That, he insisted, was being done. Ertfi#ld Rifle Decision Taking up Senator Chamberlain's at tack on the ordnance bureau. Mr. Ma ker said that men's minds differed about the types of guns to be used and about the quantity. He then dis closed that the decision to adopt the so-called re-chambered Knfiekt rifle was reached late one night in his of fice at a conference attended by Gen eral l'ershing, who was preparing to ire to France; General Scott, chief of staff: General Bliss. assistant chief; General Crozier, chief of ordnance, and Genera! Kuhn, then head of the war college and several other staff offi era. "experts in rifles." It was in May or early in dune. The American Springfield rifle. Sec retary Hnker said, wns admittedly the best military rifle developed by any country, when this decision was reach ed. There were in stock about 600, 000 of them. It was not then known. Secretary Ba kei continued, whether American troops would light beside tlie Rritish or the trench Tlie British used a rim cartridge rtfle of .lie calibre and the French a rim cartridge gun «.f another calibre. Tlie British government had been prepared to re-arm the entire British army with the Ih field when the war broke out in 1914. The excellence of the American weapon was so well known that tlie British de Ided to remodel their guns, but the sud denness of tire war prevented them mak in* tho rhatige That decision made that night.'" Mr. Baker added, "had the unanimous con sent of every man at the conference." After America entered the war, Mr. Baker said. Mafor General Wood came to Ids office and advocated tlie necessity of calling out a large army. Secretary Ba ker said there were not the clothes or mms. but General Wood replied lie knew that, but contended the men needed to live together for "preliminary training tHe told General Wood that he agreed that he army should be assembled a; rap idly as possible, but it was the intention to build up the regular army and the National Guard first and then the Na tional Army. Calling Many Men Early Go:,eluding his statement regarding the decision to call many men early. Secre tary Baker said: I. was deemed wise to put men Into camp to learn camp living and essentials C a soldier's life a little in advance, be tors they could be fully supplied with arms' GegarJ.ug Senator Gaamberla.n s sta.e tue.tt that rifles originally sent to Camp were a motley collection,*' Secretary Ba ker said tie did not object to the term but that mo facts were that "we had about fit'0.000 Springfield rifles and some thing oyer 100.000 Krags. The German army, best prepared in tne vorld. he added, "furnishes an obsolete rule for practice until men learn to take car* of a better weapon. I do no: mean to say. he added, "that the C’aestjou was decided infallibly. But 1 «'.o mean ta eay that it was decided con tenuously, that now every man in this ouatr; intended to carry a rifle has one and a rifle of better quality than if wo had adopted the existing type at the time "And. lie continued, "although we have sent soldiers to Europe much more rapidly than we ever thought we would or could, every' soldier has not only a modern rifle, but has had practice with It. That also is true of every eoldier who will go to Europe." Mr. Baker said that up to last April i ha Lewis machine gun had not been satisfactorily tested with American ammunition. "The board." lie added, referring to the board he appointed in the fail of l*l( to teat machine guns, "never de layed for one second the procurement r additional machine guns." Ha toki of the navy’a taat of tlie Lewis gun laat April with army officer present and-added: Ac result -of that teat an Imcif-! digte order was glean to the v Arms Company for Lewis guns. Large orders for Lewis guns have been given. We are advised, however, by General Pershing that he does not desire Lewis guns for use on land. General Persh ing and his staff desire them only for aircraft. "In the meantime tiie French gov ernment is able to supply us with light French guns and heavy Hotchkiss guns for the troops that are abroad and that will he seyt for the present. "We have ordered all the Lewis guns we could get and have encouraged the company to extend its plant for in creased production.” On the point of big guns Sec. Baker recalled that General Croxier. chief of ordnance, had urged Congress and the various secretaries continuously for larger programs because of the time it took to manufacture guns. "We had a limited amount of artil lery and our first step," the secretary said, "was to speed up that already or dered and in process of manufacture. lie said British and French theory of artillery usage differed and added: "We had to decide for ourselve^ what we should use.” Experts Sent Abroad Army experts were sent abroad to study the question. Early in June it "as intimated tliat I ranee had so far accelerated her program that the wastage of industry would not fully occupy her resources and tliat she could supply artillery fn^ American forces then going to Frame, without curtailing her own forces. er month, minimum Senator Freiinghuyscn said lie un i derstood the shell-making capacity of I the country had ciroppi d 75 per tent. after the I'nited States entered toe war, the war department having per j nutted pit nts to go out of business and j be dismantled. Secretary Baker said he had no in formation on that point lmt would ob tain it for the committee. Secretary Baker said the idea had gotten abroad that th>* American army uniform was part shoddy. He declar ed it is all wool and said that shoddy was put only in overeatts anti blankets. Secretary Baker read a report show ing tiO.AOO.i'Oti shells were under manu facture for delivery this year, with nil increas of -5 per cent, in manufacture of 75 millimeter and 1 1-lMncn shells and 75 per cent, in heavier sizes since the country entered the war. Referring to conditions at Fan;;) Meade, the secrete. t> read from a let ter front Major General Nicholson, saying there had never been a tin; when each soldier hail not had litre" suits of heavy underwear and sufficient heavy socks. He als.) reported tie food situation was adequate. The secretary then took up the dis cussion of the weight of uniforms and overcoats. "Whether heavier cloth ought to tv obtained, lias not been determined," hr said. “Gencrfl Pershing lias appointed exper's to investigate and a report sirible consid erations. Praising Gen. Wood’s experience and qualifications to select sites. Secretary Baker referred to the fact that the general had been a medical officer and also “originated the training camp, idea, carrying it to a demonstrated j success at Plattsburg.” Gen. Wood, he added, was “recognized by com 1 mon consent in the army as the most capable to select camp sights and in augurate a training camp system. In every instance, Mr. Baker sale, the boards, including medical officers, had recommended the selected site and the surgeon-general had been noti- i lied when the final selection was made, j In only one case—Camp Zachary Tay- j lor, at Louisville—was there ques- tion, and Surgeon Gen. Gorgas sent an expert sanitarian, who approved It. “I am not raising any question with the surgeon-general.’’ Mr. Baker said, alter pointing out that It had been suggested that the sites had not been referred to that office. “But I want it perfectly understood that his de partment was consulted and Its advice followed.” Sickness at Camps “The fact is." Mr. Baker said, “that most of our .sickness control y to ex pectations has occurred at the camps tin contra-d'stinctioji to cam>“v>ientt>\1 On a basis of eight men to each lent th nice, the secretary told the committee. At that time, howeter. there w?;v only 17.0.00 men there. Testimony previously pit a. nted to the committee had tended t show there was great overcrowding there and much sickness as a result. "What exactly happened," Mr. Baker said, “was that we gathered men in uniforms who had come from spurs*-: y’ sett’ed parts of the country and liny, v.ere not accustomed to community liv ing They were attacked with measles of which one of the ordinary results pneumonia. The secretary admitted that illness' t until this time been given to the public by The new s pa pers. Mr. Haker described to the Sonata how the American army has built t o great lines of railroads, one of thorn « miles long up to its headquarters in France and how ports and terminals have been constructed to handle tic great quantities of supplies and equip ment which the army will nped on lie fighting line. A11 this has heen done by Americans and since Gen. Pershing’s troops landed last June. Leaning forward and addressing thoj senators earnestly the secretary of war j told a story the German general stall' probable would have given much to! know long before. He approached the; subject by departing from the answer) to criticism and referring to it asV’the plan fof the war.” Outlines Ganaral Plan ”1 think I understand Senator t ham-)' berlain felt there- wasn’t any plan.“'j said Secretary Baker.’ “T don’t knoteji how tne comma tea wau ;h* coaaci-jjj; feel about it, but I want to 3av there is a plan. Its the only possible plan under the circumstances. •‘It must be remembered that this war broke out in August, 1914, and wo went into it in April. 1917. S that f"r two and a half years it had been ing on. It was not as if any immediate plan could be made for the war's pros ecution. “It was not for us to decide the thea tre of war. That theatre was in France. It was not for us -o decide the line of communication. It was 7000 miles away with one end infested with subma rines. It was not for us to decide whether maneuvers in the open should be attempted. Men already were in the trenches in a death grapple. “Our problem was and is to get o\cr and get at the enemy. It was not for us to map oat, at the \N ar College, ar. ideal plan of campaign, a theoretical plan. Our problem was to get into co operation with Great Britain and France and our other friends in the most immediate and efficient way. “That problem couldn't be described here. It can't be described in words. It is so extraordinary and so vast that it must be seen and studied on the ground before it can be. comprehended at nl. Coming of Missions Mr Baker told of the coming of the British and French missions with Balfour and Joffre. These men were seen in the halls of Congress, but few people saw the staffs of trained experts they brought with them and who distributed themselves through the war department. “They were the most brilliant men tn their armies,” he said. “Every countrj has sent us that sort of experts.” Even as these experts talked. Secretary Baker said, the story they told grew old. Weapons they had helped to develop had become obsolete before they could be got ten to the front. This is a moving picture,” he said. “It was necessary that we have eyes there to see and report, and we sent Gen. Pershing tint the major part of the trained personnel of the army—that pitiful handful of trained men.'' General Pershing now reports daily in cablegrams that run into hundreds and even thousands of words, he added. “We are using the eyes there to keep us to what they want us to do." The startling progress of the war in the development of munitions will tie shown, he said, by the fact that weapons devised by American experts during the last few months have been discarded. Then, taking up a copy of the Metropol itan Magazine for last August, Mr. Baker read a protest in its editorial columns against the supposed policy of the gov ernment to make its contribution to war financial and industrial: "To hold off until the Allies win the war foe us.” A question brought out that Col. Roose velt was then associate editor of tile mag azine which urged that “every nerce be strained to get i...,',ear Friday evening at the regular n ir.g of Progressive Grafcge by r| Toothaker of Enterprise Grange, as cd by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hemle and .Mr. and Mrs. X’ed White, all of rv meeting Grange, Bowdoinharp. oyster supper was served.

War dwell, State auditor. Manager Cook cf the Elmwood furnished a banquet lor the company preceding the business meeting. Tiit* first rotary club in the country w as organized in Chicago 12 years ago and at the present time there are 300 clubs with a membership of 30,000. They have 1 eon formed in all the prin cipal cities of the United States, the British Isles and the work has been carried into South and Central Amer ica and Europe. There are Jour exist ing clubs in Maine with Waterville making the fifth. The others are in Portland, Augusta, Rewiston and Ban gor. The objects of the Rotary club as stated in the constitution are: "To promote recognition of the worthiness of all legitimate occupations, and to dignify the occupation of each mem ber as affording him an opportunity to serve society. To encourage high ethical standards in business and professions. To increase the efficiency of each member by the exchange of ideas and business methods. To stimulate the desire of each mem ber to be of service to his fellowmen and society in general. To promote tlie scientizing of ac quaintance as an opportunity for ser vile and an aid to success. To quicken the interest of each member in the public welfare of his community, and to co-operate with others in its civic, social, commercial and industrial development.” The principle of limited anrepre sentative membership has been adopt ed by the Rotary clubs, thus calling for one representative from each dis tinct line of business or profession. This basis of club membership insures the representation of all interests and the domination of none in the consid eration. of public questions relating to business. The chibs are very active in all good causes in the cities where they have been established and at present they are engaged in doing everything in their power for social betterment and to help win the war.

Our Problem is to feed the Allies and our own soldiers abroad by sending them as much food as we can of the most con centrated nutritive value in the least ship 7>ing space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, butter and sugar. Our solution is to eat less of the-e and a- little of alt foods as will support health and strength. All saving counts for vic tory. The food administration asks every loyal American to help win the war by maintaining rigidly. AS A MINIM 1'M F SAA’INO. the following program. HAVE two WHEATLESS DATS .(Monday and Wednesday I in every week and ONE WHEATLESS MEAL in every day. Explanation-On “Wheatless" days and in "Wheat’.ess" -meals or outer days toe no crackers, pastry, macaroni, breakfast food or other cereal food containing wheat, and use no wheat ilour in any form except the small amount that may be needed for thickening soups or gravie-x or for a binder in corn bread and other cereal breads. As to BREAD, if you bake it at home, use other cereals than wheat, and if you buy it, buy only WAR BREAD. Our object is. that we should buy and consume one-third less wheat products than we did last vear. Have ONE MEATLESS DAY (Tuesday) in every week and ONE MEATLESS MEAL in every day. Have TWO POUK 1 ESS DAYS (Tuesday and Saturday) In every week. Explanation—“Meatless" means without any cattle, hog cr sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in pref erence to beef or pork. “Porkless" means without pork, bacon, ham. lard or. park products, fresh or preserved. Fse fish, poultry and eggs. As a nation we eat anil waste nearly twice as much meat as we need. Make every day a FAT-SAV1NCJ DAY (Rutter. lard, lard-substitutes, etc Explanation—Fry less; bake, broil, boil or stew foods instead Save meat drip pings; use these and vegetable oils for cooking instead of butter. Butter has 1 ood values vital to children; therefore, give it to them. 1’se it only on the table. Waste no scan: it is made' from fat. Be careful of all fats. We use an I waste two and a half times as much fat as we need. Make every day a Sl’GAR-SAVl.Nti DAY. ’’xplanation- I'se less sugar. Less sweet i rinks arid candy containing sugar should he used in war time. As a nation we have used twice as much sugar as we teed. i I-Kills. Kl iKTARl.ES and PJ TATiiE' abundant!... Explanation—These loo,is are healthful and plentiful, and. at the same time, part !y lake ihe place oi other foods which we must save. Raise all ou can for home use. USE Mil,1\ wisely Explanation--1'se all of the milk; waste no part of it. The children must have whole milk, so sour and skim milk in rooking and for cottage cheese. HOARDING FOOD. Any one buying and holding a larger supply of food now than in peace tiine. except food canned, dried or preserved in ihe home, is helping ( ADMINISTRATION OFFICER THE NAME and ADDRESS OF ANY PER SONS DISCOURAGING THE J’uODVC TlO.V OR SAVING OF FOOD WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD. To ihe members of the United States Food Administration: Tlie men of the Allied Nations are lighting; they are not on the farms. Even tlie men of the European neutral count!t;s are under arms. The fields of both Allies and neutrals lack man-power, fertilizer and machinery. Hence, the production of food by these countries has steadily les sened ever since tlie beginning of tlie war. while, at the same time, the shortage of shipping h,ls grown more and more seri ous. with the consequent steady Increase of difficulties in bringing food from the faraway markets of India. Australia and the Argentine. Tlie situation has become critical There is simply not enough food in Eu rope, vet the soldiers of the Allies must t>e maintained in full strength; their wives and children at home must not face famine; tlie friendly neutrals must not be -tarved; and, finally, our own army in France must never lack a needed ounce jf food. There is just one way in which all these requirements can be met. NortiiAmerl ra must furnish the food. And we must furnish it from our savings because »e have already sent our normal surplus. We do not need to starve our own peo ple. We have plenty for ourselves, and it s the firm policy of the Food Adminis tration to retain for our iieople. by Its control of exports, a sufficient supply of •very essential foodstuff. We want no nodv In our countrv to eat less than is .ecessary for good health and full strength, fur America needs the full pro luctive power of all its people. Much of .lie needed saving can be effected by sub stituting one kind of food for another. Bui the time has come to put aside ail selfislmr** and disloyalty. The time has coit.e for sacrifice. The Allies ask us to .neel only their ab solutely imperative needs. They are re stricting the consumption of their own people to the minimum necessary for health and strength. They are controlling their food by drastic government regula i tlon. There is even actual privation among their women and children; there is starvation in Belgium. The Allies need wheat and meat and fats and sugar. They must have more of ;all of these than we have been sending, more than we shall be able to send unless we restrict our own consumption. We can do it without harm. for. as a nation, .we are today eating and wasting much more food than we need. The whole great problem of winning the war rest primarily on one thing: The loyalty and sacrifice of the American peo ple in the matter or food. It is not a government responsibility, it is the re sponsibility of each individual. Kaeh Pound of food saved by each American citizen is a pound given to the support of j our army, the Allies and the friendly neutrals. Each pound wasted or eaten unnecessarily is a pound withheld from i them, it is a direct personal obligation j °n lhe Part of each of us to some one in j Europe whom we are bound to help. It we are selfish or even careless, we are disloyal, we are the enemy at home. Now is the hour of our testing. Let us make it the hour of our victory; victory over ourselves, victory over the Enemy of Freedom. HERBERT HOOVER. 1. nited States Food Administrator.

Hut to tis the significance of (fount 1 zerinn's utterance lies in the fact that it wis sent to President Wilson before it w offered to the hteiclisrath committer. I» is al'd significant that the Austro Hungarian minister of foreign affairs admits, even frankly stales, that there is a difference in-the A l.strian and Orman war aim-.

Most of what we read in the newspapers as 10 our preparedness for embarking on brisK trade and manufactures soon as peace has been concluded is. i l^ar. written wit a the manifest attention of heartening our people, who are notoriously ignorant of our* actual e onomic conditions and all that threatens them.

Therefore. unless Germany er.n evoke suine other tremendous influence than now h. sight, a break in tiie Centra! Alliance is imminent. Once before. Austria had reached the breaking point, when the Prussian war masters made the drive into Italy tit tremendous cost, and fool hardy chances, to save Austrian loy alty to the alliance a few months longer. Without doubt the purpose of the tremendous German Huff now be ing staged on the west front is more for its effect on Austria and the people at home than it is expected to accom plish with the entente allies. It has been a losing game. The war has al teady cost Germany and 1 ter allies more than they can ever realize out of it without large acquirement of for eign territory. This. Austria-Hungary now knows to be impossible. Germany must as well understand it. but is k-oping up the pretense. As the socia'ist leader in the Ueichstog frankly declared the other da>, even if longland and France and Jtaiy are whipped into submission by the mil itary arm.-Germany then lias America facing her'with years of conflict and cost, ami the1 probability in till reason, of being eventually overthrown by a greater, richer and more powerful na tion. Oil the other hand. British and French war experts are confident that they can withstand ant force which Germany now tan bring to bear against them. Germany must be aware of all of these things and also of the nearness to a break with her ally and a!i that must mean to her America's Opportunity It is possible, even quite probal.de, that the next move on the war-peace checkerboard, now up to Uncle Sam. will be conducted with more or less diplomatic secrecy, for it is beyond conception that President Wilson will ipermit this opportunity to go by with :out pursuing it to the utmost. A sep 'arate peace with Austria would re lease the pressure upon Italy at once, and eventually, should Germany per sist in her determination to force the war to a military decision, Italy’s powerful at my might be transferred to the west front. With all these things admittedly "too good to be true" yet even the

most pessimistic recognize that the peace topic has come to status trans cending every other topic I-.very na tion is considering peace while piling up its pr paration for continuation of the war, except, perhaps, in the case of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria ami, Turkey, where the end of the rope lias been reached. Now is tin time for the leader of the entente allies. I'resident Wilson, to; stop out in from and prove the quality ot his world leadership Austria has signified hoi willingness, even deter initiation, to end the pitiful waste of life and treasure. She has had enough and turns to the T'nited States for ex trication from the net that is strang ling her. Austria has signified her renuncia tion of the war aims of Germany as' ?r i»i plain in the separate peace con f- renee fizzle at $rest-Litovbk. Aus tria. id substance; has proclaimed to the world that she will have none of Germany’s land grabbing laid at lies door. Months ago the financial interests and the captains of industry in Ger many ar.d Austria saw the inevitable end. They understood, as the military power could not, the economic power of America, even should an American t oldier never appear at the battlefront, us more- potent than millions of men and guns. Thus far the war masters have held control and have fooled the masses with promises and cunning misrepre sentations. But these could not always prevail for the promises are not ful filled: food does not come, Paris is not taken. England is not starved. Italy has not been destroyed, Russia is not in German hands, the British and French armies Instead of being hurled tack made constant gains in 1517. Is it any wonder that a German statesman declares the nation on the ‘•dge of a precipice? In another column we are publishing a remarkable letter from Albert Bal lin. a friend of the Kaiser and head of the great Hamburg-Ameriean Steam ship Go. lie is one of the biggest men in Germany, as financial and industrial minds go.

Curtis was asked last evening, says the Portland Sunday Telegram, relative to a rumor which was more or less per? sistent yesterday on the street to the effect that iic would he a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Cnited States Senate at the State pri maries in June. "I haven i heard anything about it”, was the ex-Governor’s pfompt reply. 1 have other things to attend to just now.” When asked if there was truth in the report lie would neither affirm nor deny the report. "I have nothing to say", was his terse answer. The report seemed to have some substantial foundation, coming from one who has been more or less dose to the former Governor in his political activities and plans. Ex-Governor Tunis's name has been mentioned many times in the political gossip in connection with the Pnited States Senatorsliip, and not a few’ who com mented claimed that they knew that he was favorable to the idea if not ever, wistfully looking in that direc tion. But nothing in the form of an announcement has come from him, and whether the flashes of rumor serve to indicate anything cannot be judged from anything that the ex Governor will say.
