and wide reading made Mr Baker a dtlightful conversationalist He would not discusa the new deal in public but in private he would light up some policy with an apt illustration or al bit of concise irony 1 "What is going on in Washington" he once remarked "reminds me often of my 6-year-old grandson He is always rushing around with the greatest energy He shows wonderful determination But he seems to have only the vaguest idea of what he wants to do" Oppohed "Plum) Priming" "What about the pump priming theory?" he was asked "I have to warn you" he answered "that I am an old fogey I was brought up with old-fashioned ideas about thrift and self-reliance and hard work If our present policies are right then my whole bringing up was wrong" As an old-fashioned liberal he strongly approved of Secretary Hull's trade agreements program "Secretary 1Hull" he said "is working for economic freedom Without economic freedom I fear political freedom is impossible" The trend toward dictatorships abroad was brought up in his presence "It makes little difference to me personally" he said "what sort of a world this is going to be I have had a long and singularly satisfactory life But I am concerned with what sort of a world my children and grandchildren are going to live in ovember Berlin Schools Cols lected 118 Tons toward undermining the authority of the judiciary When the Constitution was drafted he said every delegate was expected to be familiar with the best current and historical discussion of political theories Every delegate had upon his desk Montesquieu's "Spirit of the Laws" and a compilation by John Adams of the history of democracies of the past and the reasons for their failure He turned aside to quote Benjamin Franklin's characterization of Adams as "always honest sometimes wise and often mad" and remarked that Adams certainly was the greatest fussbudget of his time in public life In those days he said there was general respect for learning and he cited the case of Elihu Burritt the "learned blacksmith" who used to read Hebrew Latin and Greek before going to his forge When Virginia held a constitutional convention in 1830 it selected the ablest and most experienced men of the day as dele 1fir 1 By the Associated Press) k44 i4 BERLIN Dec than 118 01 of bones were collected in Novem ber by pupils of '160 Berlin schools to the 4-year plan A girls school topped the list with more than Vi 1'41 tons thereby winning a book prize -41 1Pupils are told they must see to it that no bones are wasted at home' they contain valuable fats The job you are looking for may be 4 gates found in tile Help Wanted columns- of '17 4 "But what would happen if Ohio today's Star-Adv a' 4111111111MOV 1 1 I I lirj lv tt: 'I' ywo 40- 4660 it0: g' t(1 ink 1 41' IPt 1 0 44" at JIL 1 7 1' i (4444 lot 05 41 0 Sett it f' c' 1 tut ilA 1 1 4 A 4 A i 1 Fp ii: fr 1 1 I 4 tot 3 1r I 1 d-- I it 15- Ci IP ti iz 7 lip fl 4 41 I 41 4 Ao4 I 914t '4 I 4 4' 004 t-A 43t A -'3 Ik'" "41 lp lot) fou -14 Aar 0 4 mli 71!

Again he took a spent and jaded convention and electrified it That speecn et I Newton Baker's in defense of Woodrow Wilson and the League is regarded ever by foes of his cause as one of the greatest pieces of convention oratory this nation has known I Baker dropped more and more from public rife and concentrated on law He began to appear more and more before the Supreme court as lawyer 1 in some of the biggest eases He the Van Sweringens in some their litigation the Baltimore IOhio railway: he was in most of the major eases before the court But he still kept reading reading and dig! ging for more information for the lessons of history He took only an Incidental interest in politics It was generally recognied that if Franklin Roosevelt had been blocked at Chi-eau) in 1932 Baker would have been the likely choice Baker swung In enthusiastically behind Roosevelt in that campaign But as the new deal began to unfold in all its ramifications he began to part with it Baker as 8 CHT7Talof war in the cabinet of President Wilson was confronted with the most stupendous job ever faced by an occupant of that post With the American declaration of war the calls from the Allies were insistent for hurried aid from this country General Pershing was selected as commander in chief of the American expeditionary forces There came into operation the selective service act or draft law under which more than 24 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 45 were registered for military service Of that number more than 2800000 were inducted into service which with enlistments in the regular army and 500000 national guardsmen brought the army eventually up to 3737000 Approximately 2230000 American troops were transported over area 1 Newlen Diehl via born December 3 1871 at Martinsburg Va IllsO i

Wartme memories of Newton Baker sip sometimes were annoying or irritating He was the most unruffled I of persons no matter what the gravity of the moment or the excitement ot the occasion He would have conference after conference where the gravest of decisions were to be made Between them while avalanches of I shells were falling on land and sea abroad when millions of young men were torn from home and loved ones for the great adventure to get relaxation he would sink back in the big firM chair that nearly swallowed him up cock his feet up on his desk light his pipe pull out a book of poetry and begin reading Once a visitor who found him get-tine a few moments of rest scanning through a book of old English poems i came out of the war office Indignantly: "How in the hell can any body who reads poetry at such a time win a war?" he demanded But Baker's calmness under fire became a great asset to the major war decisions before the war was over It wasn't until late In the war that i Secretary Baker got to Europe He wanted to go long before but he felt his job was al home building the or ganization to back up the armies He went over only when a major decision called for a supreme war conference By then most of the old Indian war fighters who surrounded Baker when I he came into office had gone from the sethe all except Tasker NI Bliss who he decided had a lot of the diplomat in him and would represent him well In allied conferences A Strong Arm to Wilson It has been the history of all wars that no war secretary can be popular The fighting men get the praise the civil end the blame They tin out literally to crucify Newton Baker In the war investigations at the end of the war But he took on all comers That same calmness: that precise 1 mind: that exact diction where every word meant just one thing and couldn't be strained into something else stood him in good stead Baker would let the opposition shoot NMII lug puffing away on his pipe aeoningly never angered no matter what the provocation Then he would take the stand and tell things Whitt he was worth to the Wilson administration in its closing days is inestimable Even his niost severe critics began to recognize that 14tPel trap mind of hie was something not to fool with A rapid run of seenem It is 1924 at another political fa-I mous Madison Square Oardtn con I I I The question of preparedness was a major one before the nation Baker at heart was a pacifist Before Congress and the nation was the question of the Continental army backed by the then secretary of war Lindley Garrison or relying upon the militia or national guard When Congress rejected the Continental army plan Garrison resigned feeling President Wilson had not given him the support he should have had in the fight Into orriee teder Ham Heel) Woodrow Wilson accepted the resignation probably with some pleasure and promptly called Mr Baker to Washineton to the post of war secretary The country gasped It did so because Baker himself would have characterised himself as a pacifist Nobody could have taken office under a greater handicap than Baker did His every act as war serretary came In for criticism The army itself at first was standoffish to put it mildly Yet when he lay down his post after the great World war even his harshest critics had come to recognize the intellectual capacity the logical mind of the man They may not have agreed with all Baker's course but they were one in saying: "What a brain" Whether Secretary Baker did all he should have in the way of making America ready for entrance into the world conflict' history may well debate Probably not although his defense was that he moved as fast as 'public opinion would accept There was much fretting and impatience at delay and slowness once this country had joined arms with the Allies Baker's record must be judged by the total result not the start And there history already has begun to rate his part big But it was In the major policies he laid down as war secretary that Baker showed his bi'le ifte Neiecled Pershing After nitich ennaultation he picked John Pershing to command the American forces And from that moment on Baker's course was clear lie simply backed Pershing up He gave him whom he desired in France Ile put behind him in this country the men Pershing for the key posts No conimander ever got the barking Pershing did If Pershing had flopped Baker would have been ruined There were no cabals no bickering no pilings this way and that When Pershing sent back word he wanted something or somebody he got it if it were humanly possible for Baker to deliver The major military decision on IN intellect as gigantic as in physical stature he was small almost frail Newton Baker will be recorded by history as one of the really significant figures at America's wartime and postwar Ira He began his public life as a young reformer crusading for the Tom Johnson ideals of civic decency In Cleveland He died sad in the belief that the nnsguided economics of the new eral and the social forces set loose in the form of organized appetites for PoVernment subsidy might ruin his country Yet Newton Baker

several dramatic episodes of his career There was the Baltimore convention back In convention that broke Chomp Clark's heart the convention that sent Woodrow Wilson to the White House to fame and to
