BILL WILSON IS

IS SHOWN UP fif BAKER
Rep. Hay's Measure Simply
Is Not What It Pur
ports to Be.
WASHINGTON. March 22.?"If
Uncle Sam is going to buy two cow
ponies to add to his military establish
ment the American people want to
know it and they do not want to be
told that ho is adding a fine team of
Perchorons, weighing upwards of 1,
800 pounds apiece. Especially, do
they want to be certain that he is not
paying Percheron prices for the cow
ponies. And yet, the Hay military bill
provides for adding the two ponies,
calling them Percherons and pretty
Marly for paying the price of Perch
erons. In order words, tho American
voters may be divided on the advis
ability and extent of further prepar
edness, but they don't want to bo
flim-flammed." This statement was
made to your correspondent by a mem
ber of the Military Committee regard
ing the Ilay bill, which the Houso will
probably pass this week, a measure
which no other than the new Secre
tary of War, Mr. Baiter, lias shown
up as to be a "fake measure" shrewdly
designated to hide the radical differ
ence between President Wilson and
Ills party and to deceive the public.
Hay v?. Baker.
Chairman Hay opens his report on
his Military bill with the statement i
that it will malce. "Immediately avail
able 1,324 790 men." Secretary Ba
ut me oattcry*a sneus. Tills Is what
Ib called "spotting." It Is tlie sim
plest method of observing the Are and
correcting inaccuracies.
The observer telephones what he
sees to the battery commander, who
corrects his ranges accordingly.
Those field observation towers are
set up on the highest spot available
near the battery. In flat country, such
as the northern port of Mexico, they
would be extremely useful. At long
ranges in hilly country, however, the
aeroplane Is thc? most "-efficient means
of observing the effect of artillery
Are.
ker, writing to a member of Congress,
says that, calculating as Mr. Hay cal
culates, there are now available 1,
284,780 men, so that, "In other wdrds,
the only Immediate effect of the pas
sage of the House Army bill would
be the increase ot the regular army
by 40,000 men, and even that increase,
being added in four annual increments
would require about four years' time
to be recruited and a still longer time
to become effective.'; Secretary Ba
ker then goes to show how ridicu
lous Is the method of figuring em
ployed by Chairman Hay. Mr. Hay
says the army reserve will be 60,000
men. Mr. Baker proves that it will
not equal more than 16,000 men and
that even this Increase will not begin
?until three years after the passage
of the bill. Mr. Hay Includes In his
figures "270.200 former regulars." Mr.
Baker shows that not more than 82,
796 such former regulars would bo
available and that even they would
require three months' intensive train
ing. Mr.Hay Includes 395,590 mon
who in ten years have "passed
through" the militia. Mr. Baker points
out that Mr. Hay makes no deduc
tions for deaths and disabilities and
includes in this figure all who have
been enlisted, even though they nev
er served but a day or ? a few days
with the militia. Mr. Hay includes
330,000 young, men who have passed
through the military schools. Mr. J
Baker shows that thie Includes ali i
who were even enrolled, makes no
allowance for deaths and disabilities,
and that only 52,000 of that enroll
ment ever graduated. Secretary Ba
ker sums up the men actually trained
for military Bervlce as follows: regu
lar army, including Philippine Scouts
100.000; regular army reserve. 2,900;
partially trained in the militia, 129,.
000; dthers who have had some train
ing, 241,000; making a total of
trained and partially trained of 478,
700'men, as against Mr. Hay's 1,324,
790.

lng'< passed with the statement that'
l It will 'Increase the available "trained
force to upwards of UOO.OJO.' Then
Mr > Hay Informed this House that his
Mil- was . President Wilson's bill. "It
Is his bill." declared Mr. Hay. "It
carries ' out the; recommendations he
i made to Congress. In fact, It goes
further than the President asked us
'to go. It Is true that the bill does
not contain the continental army fea
ture, but the President. In suggesting
the continental army feature, was de
sirous of some sort of machinery to
tlmo of war. He thinks this bill
makes the National Guard a sufficient
force In time of peace to he available
as a fighting forte in time of war."
Now "the master's rod" Is to be used
in the House and every loyal Demo
crat will vole for the bill or lie barred
from the White House pie counter.
Preparedness and Politics.
The lnalde of the preparedness sit
uation is politics, pure anil simple^
After vigorously opposing, for nearly
three years, any Increase of the mil
itary establishment and telling Con
gress that those who advocated it
were "nervous and hysterical." Mr.
Wilson suddenly dccided that his pol
icy was unpopular and, as Is his cus
tom. without asking the advice of his
party leaders he declared he was for
extensive preparedness and made a
stumping tour of the country to advo
cate it. Democratic politicians say
Mr. Wilson converted no Democrats
to his views and that those Republi
cans who applauded him lmve always
believed in It. They realize that they
must deal with their constituents who
are against preparedness of the typo
advocated by the President, so they
will not voto for it. Therefore, the
Administration has set them the task
of passing a measure which will look
enough like actual preparedness to
save the President's face, while it ac
tually provides for so little prepared
ness that the most pacific Democratic,
or Republican, voter cannot object to
it. That the latter end was accom
plished is shown by the fact that not
a single avowed pacifist on the Mili
tary Committee voted against the bill.
The President's face can bo saved, of
course, only to the extent that the
advocates of preparedness can be
flim-flammed, and that depends en
tirely o ntho Intelligsnce of tlm voters.
As. Mr. AVllson has so long and so
successfully fllm-flamirfed so many vo
ters with regard to his conduct of or
elgn relatione, he does not place a
high estimate on the intelligence of
the voters and he is assuring his
Democratic friends In Congress that
it is mere child's play to "fool all of
the voters all of the time."
