AMERICAN TONNAGE
LOSSES LIGHT-6AKER
Salient Points of information
Given Out by Secretary
During Examination.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Sena-
tor Weeks asked il it were true
that the war department had
$4,000 tons Of ships available
for transporting troops on Feb.
/, Secretary Baker did not
know but thought that an un-
derestimate.
Secretary Baker said he had
not determined whether troops
would be kept in, the southern
camps next summer. If the
summer weather was as ex-
treme as this winter has been
he said some would have to
be moved.
American tonnage losses,
Secretary Baker said, have
been exceedingly light. The
service the navy has rendered
in the protection of the army"
he said, has been unex-
ampled."
Secretary Baker gave the
opinion that new legislation
would be desirable to give the
president general powers to
transfer and ordinate func-
tiohs of various departments
as conditions arise.
Possibility that the actual
purchasing power for the war
department may be largely
placed in the hands of Ed
ward r. Stettinius, surveyor
general, was indicated by Sec
retary Baker.
Mr.. Stettinius is relied upon
to do this thing" he said.

sary war activities as many of the
other people enjoy, but it is shown
that as class they respond as
promptly as anyone to meet the calls
of the government for help from time
to time. No investigation is needed
to show what they are doing in sup
port of the Government and they are
not only giving of their material
wealth and resources but are sending
their boys to the front in the defense
of their country. It has been said
that the farmers organization is at
tempting to arouse class prejudice and
to stir up strife and dissention be-
tween classes. Some, we are inclined
to believe are guilty of this but the
average fair minded farmer who con-
stitutes the mass of them resent such
conditions. They know that Ill can
not be farmers, that there must be
some so called business people among
them and they know that the average
everyday business man is their friend.
No doubt, however, there are some ex-
ceptions among business people as
there are generally some black sheep
in every herd but on an average, the
common business man they know is
not robber.
