If the war lasts long enough to
find us with 100000 men in Europe
awaiting return, the time necessary
with those 100 ships available would
be so months, or more than four
years.
II may be assumed that we shall
have TO depend entirely upon our
own shipping for this movement,
since the vessels of the allies will
be fully occupied with their own af-
fairs

Return of American Troops is
Serious Transportation Problem

time comes there will be great anx-
iety at home for the return of the
soldiers and an equal amount Of i'm
patience on the part Of the men
themselves.
It will take a great deal of ship
ping 10 accomplish this, without de-
lays that are protracted, tedious and
vexations. The requirements are six
tons of shipping per man. and.
therefore, il will require a 5000 ton
ship 10 get 1000 men across the
water.
If we have as many as 100 ships
of that displacement and a force Of
100000 men to bring back, which
would be a conservative estimate if
the war lasts another year. it would
take ten months to complete the
