ment that the navy is assured of
enough transport facilities to make
sure that there will be 500,0 Amer
lean troops in France early this year,

Mr.. Daniels made the statement
when informed that Secretary Ba-

to be sent abroad had been challeng-
ed in the senate today by Senator
Hitchcock. He would not say wheth-
er the navy department outlook for
ships was such as to warrant the
expectation Of having 100000 more
men in France by the end of 1918.

occupied the entire day.
Senator Hitchcock, Democratic

leading the country by making "ab-

failure; you can't say that a. ma
chine that has sent thousands Of men
abroad without n single life lost, is
total failure. You can not say that
a machine that is constructing enough
airplanes to cloud cities from the sun
