To this end. much thought is being
given TO ways and means for increasing
Americas lighting contingents. All this
depends on ships.
One of the first plans considered was
TO stow some troops on every ship

war zone. While the addition would
not be enormOus-perhaps 100 a month
lit would help some, authorities said.
The War Department, however, re-

from this source until U-boat losses
decrease and ship production increases.
