Dear Mr. President
Newton D. Baker
I attach to your draft a suggestion which is changed only in the address and one other particular.
To my ear the address “Soldier of the National Army” challenges the recruits attention to himself in his new character. It lacks intimacy – I hardly know which is better-
Newton D. Baker
