Hogland will rest in Seattle today and WashlngotiU Dee. 8. While omitting to sacremento with a bag ot Seattle definite recommendations as to Ameri- mail, ca's future military establishment. Sec retary Baker's ' annual report contains a hint of the possibility of the adoption of universal training, at least until world peace shall have been made absolutely certain. Secretary Baker makes the statement that the military needs of the United States cannot be prudently assessed until tbe approaching peace conference "shall have determined the future international relations of tbe world." Moreover, the report, which was made public Wednesday, makes clear that the war department's .recent recommenda tions to congress for appropriations suf ficient to maintain a regular standing army of 500,000 men Is largely a tem porary, plan. It Is plainly Intimated that such an army is to form only the basis of any future , military establishment In the United States, "pending the time when the experiences through which we have gone can be digested and the future needs of the nation maturely consid ered." Constant Progress Urged The document which is addressed to the president, contains the -following significant general recommendations: "In any case It is clear that the edu cation of officers and a constant study of the science of warfare will be neces sary, and it is my hope that the great military academy at West Point can be supplemented by an enlargement and broadening of the special schools which are at present organized but should be made to take on more of the character of post-graduate courses and to develop and train research specialists In the several arms." Development of the following branches of the service is especially suggested : Aircraft, chemical warfare, transpor tatlon. Secretary Baker advised that the year's experience had strengthened his view that the draft was ; a swlf tf effective and accurate means of secur ing the military strength necessary for the conduct of the war. In addition! to Secretary Baker's re cltal of the stupendous tasks performed by America Jtt the mobilization, train-1 ine equipment and uise or the army. the; report contains a brjef summary of the achievements of the American expe- j ditionary force, written bjr'General Per shing at the special request of the sec retary.
