The president has s«id he would not attempt to reach a de- cision on the subject until a definite plan was placed before him. Replying to a direct question as to his views on compulsory military vice, Secretary Baker said: Obligation is a Universal One. “The obligation to serve the country is a universal one. The question of how to bring about preparation for national defense is one of policy rataer than theory. Whether universal m'li. tary service or a selective conscription is the correct answer, I do not know. The theory of a common interest in a common country would be made by a method of selecting soldiers that was not voluntary in character.” The secretary told the commitree, however, that since congress had re- jected the continental army plan in s it went to the bor- der substantially a volunteer force. Of the number lost, 7,258 failed to respor to the call at all and wer re- jected for physical disabilit As to the training of the force be- fore it reached the border, the report says 83 per cent. ,or 81,26 3men, nad had less than three months’ milica; training of any kind and more iha 60,000 none at all, national guard STYLISH COATS FOR WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS ot L oy S B Women's and Young Girls'’ Warm Winter Coats, made of plush, some are fur trimmed, others are plain with | arge collar—a gift that would be prac- tical and appreciated by any one—$27.50, $29.00 and $35.00. e E—— WARM CLOTH COATS Women’s and Young Girls’ Cloth Coa ts, Wool Velour, Bolivia imitation, Bootch Tweed, Broadcloth, Wool Mixtures and Novelties, full flare, plain or belted with large convertible collar—$10.00, $1250, $15.00, $17.50, $19.50, $22.50, $25.00 and $27.50.

He inclined to the view that regiments returning from the bor- der would be held together by the cx- perience through which they had puss- ed, and that officers and men of the right sort would be inspired by the knowledge they had gained to work for greater efficiency. He did not am- plify his suggestion in regard to se- lective conscription. Baker Has Been Studying Question. It is known, However, that he has been studying the question of the proper basis of the military service since the recommendations of the gen- eral staff for universal service legisla- tion were submitted. It is understood the plan under consideration contem- plates the making of an inventory of men in the country, as is being done with industrial resources, and devising a means whereby every citizen wonld be made liable ina war emergency for the character of work for which he is best fitted by his peace time training.
