FIGURES SHOW, AMERICAS
PART IN MOVING TROOPS
Navy Makes Official Announcement
to Refute Various State
ments.

NEW YORK.-With the consent
of the navy department, the Office of
Vice Admiral Gleaves. commander of
the cruiser and transport force, made
public here this week figures show
ing exactly the proportionate share
of troops conveyed to France in
American vessels.
OF the entire army of 2,O79.S8O
men taken over, the statistics show,
44A per cent were carried in Amer
lean ships, 48h in British, and the
balance in French and Italian ves-
sells.
OF the total strength of the naval
escort guarding all these conveys, the
United States furnished 82A per
cent, Great Britain 14h per cent,
and France az per cent.
It was felt that these official fig
ures should be made public owing
to the discrepancies in the statements
of many public speakers as to the
relative share taken by the different
naval forces in enabling American
troops to reach the battle line in suf-
ficient force to turn the tide against
Germany.

WILSON TO HAVE DESPERATE
FIGHT At PEACE CONFERENCE
ORGANIZING TO NULILFY AMERICAN PfN-
(upIEs AND EFFECT A PEACE BARTER AND TRADE -
ToRyIsM AND JINGOIsM AT II EUROPE AND PREDA
TORY roRCEs HERE ARE LINING UP WITH THEIR EXPO
NENrs-pREsIDENT NEEDS PEOPLES SUPPORT.

Writing from Washington. D. c.,
in further comment on the peace con-
ference and President Wilson's visit
to Europe, w. w. Jermane says in
the Seattle Times:
The best sentiment of this city
continues to say that 1t is altogether
proper that the American people
should understand the difficulties
which will beset the peace confer
ence.
While the war was under way we
on this side lived under censorship
which denatured and sweetened every
bit of news from the other side. This
was doubtless proper, for 1t was i'm
perative that there should be no
sign of discord while the German
menace existed. But now that the
fighting has stopped we are permit
ted to understand something of the
differences and jealousies that have
arisen.
Those who would have Americans
believe only what Is pleasant are not
doing a helpful service to the coun-
try. 1t seems certain that Wilson is
going to have a desperate fight in
Paris, no matter how suavely and po-
litely it is carried on, for powerful
forces are organizing to secure ad-
vantages for this, that or the other
country ,and to nullify IS far as pos
sible the principles for which more
than two million soldiers went to Eu-
rome and tens Of thousands OF them
gave their lives. That is the plain
fact no matter how much it may be
regretted.
The American people, it is argued
here, should understand the situation
and get behind the president with all
the moral support they can command,
for there are reactionary forces In
this country that are ready to line up
with the predatory forces of Europe
to prevent American idealism from
expressing itself adequately in the
treaty.
The fourteen terms, reduced to the
briefest compass. aim to make this
the last great war. The world so In
terprets them. But what is done must
be done quickly if the forces of reac-
ton are to be overcome. Toryism
and jingoism are at work all over
Europe for bigger armamelts, trade
restrictions and territorial acquisi-
tions, just as though the war had
ben fought solely for revenue and
conquest
The Republican leaders in the
American congress had an under

standing Of this when they decided
to suppress all efforts to nag the
president and break down his pres
tige abroad. Public men in this city
are saying that there is AZ much need
TOR unity of thought and action in
America now as there was while the
fighting was going on.
Fortunately the three men who
will sit with President Wilson are
committed in principle to the kind of
peace America wants. But they will
be subjected to reactionary pressure
of all sorts, and will need all the
courage and determination they can
command If the world is to have as
the result of this war something more
than tragic memory and burden
of debt that will afflict generations
as yet unborn.
The four men who are to make the
peace will be in a position Of advan-
tage, for each will be supported by
an overwhelming majority of his own
people and of the people of Europe
and the world. 1t is impossible to
believe that they are to fail. The
best service that America can render
the conference, say high officials here,
is to force the fighting into the open
and not permit it to hide itself be-
hind duplicity and fine phraseology,
If this can be done here, and at the
same time in England, France and
Italy. the coming peace will be of
the right sort.
It is the opinion of this city that
tn next few weeks will be as critical
as any similar period during the war
and that the peoples of the four ma
peace terms must let it bo known that
they stand back of those leaders in
every move toward peace that will
endure.
1t was Machiavelli, the cynic, who
said that each treaty plants the seeds
of new war. There are many men
who have learned nothing since
Machiavelli's day, and who ere now
preparing to do their utmost 10 make
a peace of the old bargaining sort.
1t probably need not be said that
President Wilson will resist such a
peace to the last. The least the
American people can do it to give
him their earnest support during the
difficult days that are just before
him. There is no party politics in
this thought, but only pure American
ism. He will need all the help from
home he can get If the reactionary
forces of Europe are able to make
the show of strength upon which they
are confidently counting

TACOMA SURE CAMP
WILL Be PERMANENT
SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER
QUOTED AS GIVING SUCH
ASSURANCE.

Camp Lewis is to be maintained
by the government as a permanent
military post, according to a message
received in Tacoma this week from
Washington, D. c., quoting Secre-
tary of War Newton D. Baker as
authority for the statement.
The message came from Elbert H.
Baker, publisher Of the Cleveland
Plaindealer, to his son, Frank s.
Baker. publisher of the Tacoma
Ledger and Tacoma News-Tribune,
and Is as follows:
Frank S. Baker, the Ledger, Ia

Secretary Baker told me that
Camp Lewis is to be a permanent
military post.
GILBERT H. BAKER,"
Newton D. Baker and Elbert H.
Baker are both of Cleveland.
Those who were active in bringing
the cantonment to American Lake
never doubted the ultimate intention
of the war department to make the
post permanent. but recent reports
have caused much uneasiness.
The American Lake cantonment
was conceived and undertaken long
before the United States entered the
war and the site was donated to the
government by Pierce county. The
original plans were for at least a
division post.

week. following receipt of instruc-
tions from the board. A sign to that
effect was posted in the yard.
So far as the general wooden ship
building program is concerned, how
ever, the board took drastic action
this week in ordering construction
stopped on all hulls on which the
builders have not spent more than
100000.

nounced that builders will be allowed
all expenditures to date and q pos
sible bonus Of 10 per cent to pay fOy
their trouble. The order applies 70
yards on the Atlantic. Gulf and Pa
cific coasts.
The corporation granted the yards
relief in one particular, however. by
removing all bars to American ship
yards accepting private foreign or do
mestic contracts for wooden or COM
posite ships. or private American con-
tracts for steel ships. The wooden
yards are given an absolutely free
hand.
The government had already spent
some $25O,OOO on Hull No. So in the
local yard, so that its general cancel

fore the announcement of the new

HARBOR THREATENED.
River Craft in Mouth Of Green River
In Danger.

Evansville, Ind, Jan. 29.-With
the breaking up Of the many gorges
in Green River there is great fear
that several boats anchored In the
mouth of the river will be caught
by the large foes and badly damag-
ID or swept away. The situation
along Green River during the past
twelve hours has been the worst
in many years and several small
boats have been crushed by the heavy
ice foe.
The Ohio River is frozen solidly
here and at points below and there is
no indication that the breakup will
come for several days. If the
gorges crash into the Ohio River,
nine miles above here, it is blieved
chat the force of the ice pack from
the streams will be sufficient to crack
the ice from here TO Green River.
Reports received tonight say that
Green River is now clear OF ice from
Rochester, KY, to Bowling Green,
KY, distance of about eighty-iiye
miles. At Rochester a towboat APP
peared to-day for the first time since
the river froze.
