BAKER URGES
PUTTING ARMY
. ON WAR BASIS
Annual Report to President
Pleads Importance of
Preparedness.
NEEDS OF PAST CUED
Secretary Declares "We
Must Live in World as It
Is"?Lauds Service:
While the.United States may nev*
> er be called upon to take the offensive
in war. the world war has
taught the necessity of a strong
and thoroughly organised army for
national defense. Secretary of War
Baker says In his annual report to
the President, made public yesterday.
Tho Secretary points out that the
regular army must exhibit in its
peace-time organisation the combinations
and co - ordinations which
are required in war; that the several
branches of the service must
learn the parts they are to play,
and that there must be an army of
specialists "abreast of the developments
in the art. making all possible
applications of the discoveries
i of science and invention to military
I uses, and maintaining at all times
| the army to the highest point of
efficiency."
Record One of Warfare,
j Pointing out that from 177S to
1920. a period of 144 years, the
Lnited States has been engaged In
major domestic or foreign wars
about one out of every four years
and its military power has been
in active use in military operations
about three out of every four years,
the Secretary adds:
While we do not need a great
standing army, we must live In
I the world as it is. while wc struggle
to make it what It should be."
i The figures on the cost of the
great war so far aa the War D?>
partment alone la concerned are
t given In the report, which shows
that the total cash outlay up to
June 30. of this year, was 515,784.245,576.73.
The credits from sales
and other sources amounted to 12.|
063.J50.000. leaving as the net cost
| of the War Department's activities
(the sum ol $UJJ0?JJSU7*.7?.
. Included among the credits Is the
I sum of $257,065,000, which Is due
;the United State* from Germany for
, the maintenance of the American
j army in that country since the I
| armistice. There Is yet to be recovI
ered also the sum of 5563.319.000
. for goods sold on credit abroad and
! the sum of 152.227.000 for credit
[sales in the United States. Sales
Which are yet to be made supply
an additional credit of 5359.000.000.
?ifdn!here '* yet to b* turned into i
the Treasury 5591.656.000 from sales
[ made prior to June 30. i
Provided;
The total appropriations made by !
Congress for the War Department
from April 6. 1917. to June 30 this
. _reaelled the enormous sum of !
lil the reP?rt shows. '
j T . ?mount of aotual cash turned
back into the Treasury for sales of
surplus and other recoveries was
5375.000.000, while unexpended ap- '
propriations turned back amounted '
to 57.815.417.649.5:.
In the settlement of uncompletea ]
portions of contracts, the War Department
has paid 5437,819,000. or
13 per cent of the total of 53 834 010.000.
thereby saying to the government
87 per cent of the outstanding:
obligations. Secretary Da- \
ker says the instances where efforts
were made "to overreach the government
or to demand an ineqult- '
able settlement" have been verv
rare.
The total strength of the army on
November 3 of this year was 213067.
Secretary Baker says. The
army reorganisation law. now in
authorises a maximum of
.80.000 enlisted men and 17,717 officers.
The fact that so many young
men have seen fit to enlist is due.
the report states, to the recreational
and educational benefits which are
now an important part of the service.
The provision in the bill which
permits enlistments for either one
or three years Is condemned however.
by the Secretary, who says
that from the point of view of efficiency
14 the army the one-year
enlistments are of little value.
Awmr Kdneatlonal System.
Tl\e educational system In the
army Is highly praised in the report;
Secretary Baker saying that
the time will come when men wm
graduate at the expiration of their
term of enlistment "better equipped
i to enter civilian pursuits and with
a larger and firmer grasp on cltl- I
zenship with its responsibilities and
privileges. The idea with which
the army is now aiming is to attract
to its enlisted force serious
and energetic young men who
while they are giving to their
country the protection which the
army is created for, will in turn
be so trained that their entire army
experience will be but an educational
episode Improving their opportunities
for civilian employment
as well a| their loyalty to the
country aire fidelity to its advancement."
The educational feature. Secretary
Baker adds. removes from the
peace-time army the reproach of
wasted time." The recreational program
is likewise designed to afford
wholesome opportunities for entertainment
to cure "what the soldier
has been grumbling and complain,
ing about."
A fine tribute Is paid to the young
women who enlisted In the recreational
work of the ?tmy during the
war.

During hi* itay in Washington
Father d? Heredia jrave several lectures
under the auspices of local
' Catholic clergry In which he demonstrated
conclusively his ability to
perform all tricks commonly
ascribed by mediums and others to
supernatural agencies.
"With reference to so-called spiritualism
I follow the pronouncement
of the Second Council of Baltimore,"
he said. "As a Catholic
priest I distinguish two things?
first, the existence of phenomena,
and second, the explanation of these
phenemona. I admit the existence
of the phenomenal, but I most emphatically
do not admit the eplrltualistlc
explanation of these pheaomena."
Father de Heredia admits, for example.
that there are such phenomena
as levltation. but he does not
accept the explanation* offered by
Sir Oliver L*>d?e and other*.
-A* a Catholic priest and a* a
moralist, however. 1 advise nil to

prestidigitator accepted the
' hospitality of the elder De Heredia
and gave a performance for the
family in the private theater of the
home. The lad became so interested
in the exhibition of the great
magician that he begged his father
to let him learn some of the tricks.
His father consented finally and
1 paid Hermann 1500 to teach his son
his best tricks. especially the
S spiritistic feats.
From, this time on. De Hcredia's

ROME. Nov. 28.?Official reports
from Tlflis confirm the end of the
war between the Turkish National,

Peace negotiations were begun
| yesterday on the basis of the arjmistice
already signed November 19
1 by which Armenia will be restricted
to the frontiers fixed by the
treaty of Brest-Litovsk. This renders
superflouos Wilson's trbitration
on Armenian frontiers.
The rumor that the remnants of
Wrangel'8 army will be conveyed
J by French warships to the Adriatic
port of Cattard has raised a storm
(of protest here. Count Sforza. Ital1
ian foreign minister at the London
meeting, will. it is understood,
j oppose strenuously Russian coloni|
zation of Adriatic territory. ' The
paramount reason for the ItaloJugoslav
agreement was the common
interest that the Adriatic
should belong solely to these two
countries.
Italy does not understand why,
two years after th#* armistice, certain
powers signatory to the peace
treaties should still consider the
Adriatic ports as naval bases at
I their disposal.
Italy, It is declared, paid dearly
for the hurried permission by Orlando
and Sonnino to make Flume
the supply base for so-called army
of the Orient. There are already
too many misunderstandings in
, French-Italian relations to allow
the new pretext to make Cattaro a
i French-Russian base.

Gravity may soon be controlled

the Rev. C. M. de Heredia, 8. J- of
Holy Crow College. Worcester,
Mass., who has recently given a
series of lectures Jn this city, in
which he exposed many common
tricks of so-called spiritualistic
mediums.
This startling statement was given
in an exclusive interview to a
Herald reporter yesterday.
"We are on the eve of great discoveries."
said Father de Heredia,
who^s a Mexican by birth and who
has devoted his life to a study of
psychic phenomena and related subjects
in order to safeguard Catholics
against what he terms ths
trickery of the so-called spiritualistic
phenomena.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that the day will come when mankind
will -be able to control the
laws of gravity through the human
bcdy," he declared.

Father de Heredia says that modern
science in its Investigations into

o'clock this afternoon bearing
President-elect and Mrs. Harding to
Jamaica, where they are to make

A distinguished gathering bade
Senator Harding good-bye on the
pier. The President-elect expressed
his gratification at his reception
throughout Panama. Salutes ware

Harding returns to the United
States with a first hand knowledge
of all the Panama Canal defenses
And Mrs. Harding will be able to
tell her Marion neighbors all about

One of the Senator's last excursion*
was an inspection of the defenses
on the Atlantic side. For
three quarters of an hour he inipected
the interior of the U. S.
Submarine R-27. The vessel was
ready to take a dive had Senator
Harding expressed the wish.
t>ut he evinced no interest in going
jnder the surface. He declined an
aeroplane ride.
At the same time Mrs Harding
made a flight in a seaplane over

of the naval air station.

then dashed over a four-foot embankment.
The car overturned when it
