BAKER REPLIES 10 II LI Hay Tlint Mlhtke Have Happened, Hut as Kar as Poaaible They Have I tern Corrected Washington, Jan. 29.

Washington, Jan. 29.

Thla great fighting force, prob ably little expected by the German general staff Itself, will be composed of the men now with General Per shlrkg. the 82 divisions of troops now In cantonments and camps in , the United State and ready to move. and by the next Increment to be drawn and trained thla spring under the selective service law. Elemental equipment of the men from tha United State Is assured, and the artillery necessary to their support will come from the British and French governments which have such an excess of ordnance that, they have on their own Initiative offered to supply the guns and aave ships which would be used for their trans port. . . At the outset the secretary said he thought much criticism came from impatience of the American people to "do thla great thing greatly." He conceded freely that In no great an enterprise It waa Impossible that there' should not be "delay aad short comlnga." The confidence of the country, however, he said, was necessary to the tremendous effort. Describing the spirit of army offi cers', Secretary Bakersaid he had seen "strong, grixzled men turn away from hi desk in tears" when they had found that they could ,not go to France, "where the glory of their profession lay," but must remain In Washington to press forward' war preparation. There was no case, he added, of any officer who rjad not accepted his duty with his wtiole heart. Although more than 1,000,000 are under arm in thla country, Mr. Ba ker said, the number of complaints received have been relatively small, probably not more than 18. In each instance, he said. Investigations have been made Immediately. Some reports, the secretary said. have not proved serious upon In quiry, while others had In which caae correction followed. In the case of the body of an offi cer who died at an aviation training school being shipped home In sheet, Secretary Baker said, inquiry developed that the camp was . in charge of a British aviation officer who followed the British method of sending bodies home unclothed, the man's clothe being shipped In a sep arate parcel. - An American officer was then put In charge.
