France longer than the American
armies. The secretary said the great
British liners Mauritania, Olympic
and Aauitania had been in the Amer
lean transport service for a year and
that the Mauritania still was so en-
gagged. He could not say whether the
other two had been withdrawn.
German liners now in German ports,
Mr. Baker said, Nigh. offer means OF
expediting the return Of the American
forces. Present plans are to use these
vessels TO carry food to Germany and
the secretary said it might be found
possible to make some arrangement
under which some of Gen. Pershing's
men could be sent home on them. With
the removal of the submarine menace,
the war secretary said. it will be pos
sible to bring home many soldiers n
cargo vessels. The shipping board is
commissioning many such vessels from
day to day. For the next several weeks
Mr. Baker expects transports to DO
laden entirely with sick and wounded
men and those not Immediately avail
able for military service, such as the
men who have been discharged from
hospitals in France but who have not
fully recovered their strength. They
will be organized for purposes Of trans
portaton into provisional companies Of
from 100 to $50 men with the requisite
number Of officers and will be sent 70
designated camps to be mustered out
1t is assumed that efforts will be made
in France to put into each provisional
company men from the same general
locality in the United States in order
to ease the rehabilitation transporta-
ton problem on this side. Secretary
Baker also revealed today that a gem
