REWEW ARMY RECORDl BerndBfarchrelpfiWork cr Credit of Department WARANNIVEBSABY OBSERVED Night of Doubt Turned Into Day of Vindication Declares Secretary Gaeat Task Now Is to Apply Worthily Lessons of Conflict Getting Fighters Home Inspired by the second anniversary of Americas entry into the war which falls today Secretary Baker and Gen March chief of staff yesterday ii brief statements reviewed the efforts of the War Department in the struggle and interpreted the lessons of the victory which the associated powers achieved Mr Baker declared that Americas effort turned the night of doubt into the day of vindication so that the second anniversary of the war finds resistance broken and the council assembled to fix the terms of peace Tide of Autocracy Met Two years ago said the statement by the Secretary of War America entered the world war and joined forces with the brave peoples who had for nearly three years resisted the armed tide of autocracy America mobilized to its remotest hamlet and the affection and support of our people surged around the great army which we summoned trained and dispatched to Europe as the representative of American strength and ideals The night of doubt turned into the flay of vindication and now on the second anniversary of our entry into the war we find the armed resistance of our adversaries broken and a great council assembled in Paris to set out the terms of peace and to make possible the reconstruction of the fortunes of the world which have been shattered by the devastation of war Just men and humane men everywhere are looking with fervent hope to these deliberations and America conscious of new found strength sees both a higher destiny for herself and a broader application of the principles upon which her own growth has proceeded among other peoples of the world Better Future Insured The cost of the war in life and wealth has been great Some of its losses are beyond repair but the future will be better for men and women everywhere if the high spirit which achieved this victory uses its fruits for the protection of peace and the encouragement of justice among men as the basis of all international relations Two years ago our great task was to win the war today our great task is worthily to apply its lessons and use its results The problem of getting soldiers overseas and into the firing line paramount a year ago was set in relief by Gen March to the present problem of bringing the victorious legions home Tomorrow today April 6 said he is the second anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the world war One year ago we were starting a tremendous drive to get troops to France When I took charge of the office of chief of staff on March 4 last year I found that February had touched bottom in the number of troops shipped abroad only 43000 acn having sailed Flood of Men Started We built ships we bought ships we begged ships we commandeered ships and on last April 6 the flood of the men across seaa had definitely begun Vow on our second anniversary the great problem is to get our men back to their homes from across the sas I have set as a mark to be reached 310000 men in one month Each month is showing a steady increase over the month before and we will do our best to break the record in transatlantic shipments Demobilization has been speeded up at home One camp has established a camp record of demobilizing over 4000 men in on day and we can easily handle the maximum number of men per month which the available shipping permits us to bring back Every State in the union is now welcoming its
