Army plans to be made after peace meeting
Washington Dec 5 The question of permanent army organization is deferred until the peace conference ends. Secretary Baker, in his annual report, says the military needs of the United States cannot be prudently assessed until international relations are determined. He favors preserving the general staff and proposes a plan to maintain the regular army as a nucleus, while postponing broader reforms until after the conference. He notes the value of selective service, outlines war-era manpower, ordnance, aviation, and manpower statistics, and pays tribute to soldiers and civilians whose efforts supported the war effort.
