For example, he writes: I'VE had

lay over five hours and still set a con-
Meeting train. We were able to visit a

j. 5. NOW W|TEHOLDs
ALL TROOP FIGURES
No More Announcements
of Men Sent TO France,
Baker Says
BIG RUSH "OVER
THERE" TO CONTINUE

WASHINGTON. July ii.-The number
OF American troops transported TO
France no longer VIII be announced by
the War Department Secretary Baker
said yesterday. His decision caused sur
prise. as for several months approx
mate figures have been furnished, and
lately this has taken the form Of week
ly announcements by General March,
Chief OF STAFF. These eliminated in
the official statement OF Secretary
Baker, issued just before July Z, that
100000 men had sailed overseas and
giving the number transported each
month.
While no reason was given for the
change in policy. Secretary Baker said
that IL should by no means be taken
10 imply that there was to be any
reduction in the number Of troops be-
ing despatched. Mr.. Baker said that
possibly at ssme time in the future a
statement might be made indicating ap-
prOximately the number Of soldiers In
France, but II is likely that this will
not be for several months, II then.
None OF the other belligerents has
followed the practice Of indicating even
roughly the troops II had. on the theory
that this Is information OF great value
to the enemy. Reports from Germany
have shown pretty cOnclusively that
until the official announcements the
Germans had only the widest notion Of
the total strength OF the expedltionary
force and had been inclined greatly TO
minimize it. Even now the German
newspapers are trying to convince their
readers that Mr.. Bakers statement was
a case OF gross eXaggeration.
The fact that the contracts from the
British and French transports which
have been helping to carry American
troops are about to expire may have
something to do with the War Depart
ments change in policy. II is believed
that new schedules for troop move
ments are in preparation and a read
justment OF shipping facilities Is under
way. American ships. OF which there
is now a steadily growing number, VIII
in some cases be substituted for tho
British and French transports employ
ed in the last few months.
