fcdded, lMvtnf only the method of
"making enlistment In the army an
educational opportunity" to furnish
the troops.
The recommendation for an In-
creased etanding army, he declmed.
should not be taken to Indicate a
disinclination toward the prospect of
disarmament.
Ideal* of the Soldk*.
"Those who know the spirit of the
American army," the secretary said,
"will not ascribe to It an provocative
temper. There la glory left In the
career and the sacrifice of th« sol-
dier, but the mild and spectacular
contests of an earlier age have be-
come a stern and cruel business and
while there Is cheerful wllllngneHs to
encounter the privations and make
the sacrifices which war demands, the
Itien of the American army are
abreast with enlljchtened men every-
where In the hope that more humuno
and rational processes of adjustment
will supersede the waste and loss of
Armed conflict They are. however,
of the belief that so long os It Is
necessary for us to malntAln an army
at ail we are not justified in having
an Inefficient army, and their recom-
mendations are to be viewed as set-
ting them apart as men Who. by rea-
«on of their experience, are qualified
to speak upon the provision which
should be made for the common good
and the common protection should
the teat of war become unavoidable."
The plan recommended, Mr. Baker
•aid. looks to the establishment of
systems «f schools teaching the for-
mal branches of education and adding
to them the skilled trades, "so that
at the end of a term of enlistment,
the young man entering in his ulng-
teenth year will go back to civil Tlfe
with the physical set-up which the
open, athletic life of the army gives,
and with the education and training
Which will make his more valuable in I
civil pursuits than he could other- j
wise have been." Social and recre- .
atlonal opportunities also must be
supplied, he said, so that the gradu- I
ate frotn the army "will bring back
with him the social virtues which I
rsHult from education of mind and j
hand acquired in an environment j
made stimulating by the presence of '
a high purpose and sense of Bervice,
and generous association with his fel-
lows."
New Military Spirit.
"The military policy recommended
by the war department, therefore.
Involve* a new army created with
* new spirit, having wide civic useful-
ness, and of such site and organiza-
tion ai to be an adequate reliance In
case of need," the report aald.
Me. Baker said the operations In
France would be dealt with In the
special report being prepared by Gen-
eral Pershing. Not even the Allied
war council, he said, had realised the
effect upon Germany of the accelerat-
ed movement of troops and supplies
from the United 8:ates, and all plans
had been prepared for a vigorous
campaign in the spring of 1919.
"Had not the irt eat troop move-'
ment of the summer of ISIS been
carried out,' he said, "the practical-
ly continuous battle on the western
front from March to November
would not have been possible. The
saving to the world In thus shorten-
ing the was is Incalculable alike In
life and treasure."
The text of the Initial order to J
General Pershing which Is quoted, :
shows he was Instructed to keep the
American army "a separate and dis-,
tinct component of the combined
force*, the Identity ef which must1
be presereved." The method of co-1
operation with the allies was left to'
his discretion and. Mr. Baker added,
that the authority thus conferred
"was never In any particular modlfl-1
sd or diminished."
Discouraging Elements.
"There were elements In the prob-
lem which might well have caused
gr*ve apprehens.'on" the report said, j
•The armies of Franco, Great Britain 1
knd Italy had borne for three years
the furious and deadly assaults of
the great German mlll'ary machine,
the toll levied by battles upon the
man power of these nations had been j
appalling, and It was becoming In-
creasingly difficult for them to ■
maintain their divisions at full
strength. The submarine peril men- i
•ced the supply of munitions of war
and of foodstuffs to great civil pop-1
U let Ions.
"Meanwhile the German amies j
had crushed long planned offensives
by the allied armies with apparent!
ease, and by thw colhinse of Russia :
were dally being strengthened by .11-
vlslons of trained soldiers brought j
from the easte-n front until the
im-nace of superior numbers and ap-
parently Inexhaustible supplies of the
munitions of war haunted the coun-
cils of the allied powers.
Imagination And Daring.
"But those who viulted General
Pershing's headquarters during the
war know that from the beginning j
there was r<solution and a clear ,
lighted knowledge of the size of the !
task. It would have been idle to
plan for « small American army, (in j
the other hand, It required Imagina- I
tlon and daring to plan for a large ■
One—to take a million American i
men to France, separate them from
home by 3,000 miles of ocean, and
tul'Ject them to the hazard of the
Underlain and diminishing food Rip-
piles of Europe And there still !
remained the further question: If,
th'ese difficulties conld be overcome,
could they be overcome In time?
"General Pershing and his ns'-o- |
elates pave no room to doubt nri'l
accepted no counsel except that of de-
termination. When the critical ho-ir
came and the combined enerpies of
the United Ptates and Great Britain
did surpass all previous es'lmat s
and land 2.100.000 men In France, j
the arrangenrWits made for their
ceptlnn and for their maintenance
were found adeqnate: and had the
war gone on and tht» SO-dtvIslon pro-
gram been carried out, the Imagina-
tion and daring of these early plans
wo'ild stIII have been adequate.
"It Is a wonderful story and ex-
hibit* *t Its beirt the confidence <n
their lhstutitons whloh Americans
may Justly have."

"It Pays to Advertlie," on* of
the most tremendous successes ever
played on the legitimate stage, has
been brought Into a photoplay which
Is said to excel the production before
the footlights, and the. picture will be
played for the first time In this ter-
ritory at the Temple theatre today
and Tuesday, Bryant Washburn, who
noeds no Introduction to motion pic-
ture lovers, Is seen In the leading hole
of the story.
Universally recognized as a most
talented ad popular screen star,
Bryunt Washburn has a large and
constantly Increasing cllente le. Hand-
some, athletio and filled with the
buoyancy of youth, he always Im-
presses his audiences favorably and
rouses within them the same enthu-
I slasm for his work that he himself
displays.
In "It Pays to Advertise," Mr.
Washburn has the role of a young
man who prvoes a success In life
when nil indications were that he
would be an Irretrievable failure. He
changes from a mollycodd e to a re-
spected business man, and In addi-
tion thereto, he wins the love of a
real girl, the respect of his doubting
father and a bunch of money. In
other words, ho believes in the adage,
"it pays to advertise" and carries his
thoughts along this line to resultful
action.
That this admirable photoplay,
which Is really an Improvement on
the stage production, will enhance
Mr. Washburn's reputation for serva-
tllity. Is little doubted. His artistry,
personality and dash are evidenced
to the fu I In his characterization in
the comedy and his admirers have
their hour of genuine enjoyment In
store for them.
DENY THAT CATHOLICS ARE
BEHIND FORMER CROWN PRINE
Berlin. Friday, Nov. 28 —The news-
paper Gertnanla declares today that
the clerical party Is not Identlf'ed
with attempts to start a presidential
boom for Former Cown Prince
Itupprecht of Bavaria. The newspa-
per brands the sta'enrnt that the
Catholic party Is favoring his can-
diday as a pure invention.

Anita Stewart is shown In practl-
cal.y two characters In "Mind the
Paint Girl," a First National feature
which will be shown at the Crescent
theatre today and Tuesday,
first she appears as the iltUe slum
I girl, who sweeps out her father's shop
, and runs errands and doea any handy
, work to help make ends meet for her
parents, who are very poor. As the
shop girl, she Is shown In mora or
less ragged calico dresses, with her
hulr hanging down her back and hata
of Impossible styles. Ignorant and
untutored, yet she has a strong heart
and battle* her way among the roughs
of the nelghborhoood who are very
much In' love with her pretty face,
and try to steal kisses as chunce pre-
sents Itself.
Full of ambition to get out of the
sordid neighborhood and to win to
better things In life, she takes the
opportunity of her father's doath to
move. Then she applies for a place
on the stage. After much discour-
agement, she finally gets a place in
the chorus. Then through the acci-
dental sptllntg of a bucket of paint,
she gets an Inspiration and suggests
the song, "Mind the Paint", to a com-
poser. She is given the opportunity
to sing It and makes a hit of the sea-
son.
Then as the famous music hall girl
sented In beautiful gowns of every
and tho world at her feet, she is pre-
deacriptlun, gowns that every woman
will want to study to see the latest In
styles and the perfection of their ar-
tistry.

'There is nothing these unromnn- j
tic days to inspire a poet. It's little 1
wonder modern poetfy does not rank
up to the poe's of other days, when
the world was flllod with' knights j
and ladles."
"Whv, what on earth is the matter
with you?" exclaimed Andrew.)
"There was never nights like the |
nights we have now. and I call on
the dressmaker to witness that there
never were such ladles. Just Im-
agine what the author of the 'Moth-
er Goose Melodies could do with the 1
ladles we have nowadays. She, or|
he. whatever was the sex of that
Immortal poet, would sit down at a
typewriter and dash off a Jingle like
this:
"There was a little girl
Who could dance a little whirl,
But she had a disposition which
was horrid.
When she waltzed, which she
could,
She looked very good.
But wh«-n she did the shimmy
she was horrid.'
"Or Just suppose old Omar, the
advocate of intemperance and an
early demise, could go to one of our
up to date cabaret shows and have ,
a stein of near beer set before him. j
I can see him blow the foam on the j
floor and burst into song after this
fashion.
" 'Fill high tho etein ere they j
douse the glim!
List to that chicken warble! We
are surely In the swim!
Life Is sweot and happy If you ;
have the coin and duds:
You bust, it busts, like the bubbles i
on thece steins of suds!'
"Or pause, if you can for a mo-
ment, and imagine gray haired Walt,
Whitman hlttin' It up down Herki-
mer street on one of these zero af-
ternoons. He would drop Into the
first thirst parlor he came to, and, :
borrowing a lead pencil from the
white-coated mixologist, he would
while Imbibing a Coca Cola, scribble
these lines while leaning against the '
corner of the bar.'
"See tho maiden's red headl
Is she a dashing co-ed.
With her skirt all slash-ed?
Is she hen or chicken?
Hear the wind shriek through the
slash!
See the frost upon her stocking!
Isn't it quite shocking?
Don't she put a storm door on It?
f i. blizzard! Oh, goose pimples!'
"Then Just imagine for a moment
Henry Wadsworth Ixtngfellow at an
afternoon tea dansant, watching wltn '
those big, sad eyes of his and listen- j
ing with those big, wide ears of hi*, j
He would doubtless heave a great!
sigh nnd then, turning his poetic en- i
glne to the 'Hiawatha' speed, spin j
off a few reels like this: I
" 'See the maiden as she fish-
wnlks;
Hear her as she chafing-dish talks,
All about eugenics and white
slaves.
If her granny could Just hear her j
She would lam her In the ear, or j
Since she's dead, she'd roll over l,i j
her Brave!'
"Ah, my dear, the poet who would j
be remembered must be keenly alive >
to the spirit of the times. He must j
hold the mirror up to nature and re- i
fleet the age In which he lives. He ,
must engross on the tablets of his
memory the scenes which are dally !
enacted around him and flash them j
again on the white page In song,
that those who come after us can
"see us as we were."
"That being the case," said Imo-
grne. "let us give thanks that the
entire absence of proper poets has j
spared the future the pain of know- (
ing this uge. Let us send up songs
of thanksgiving for the fact that, j
like y u, the license of all the poets
seems to have expired and that the j
songs of the people nre not sung,

syncopated lime. I "
