cent statement before the senate mill.

hearing before the committee today
Secretary Bakers cross.cxamination
was begun by Senator Weeks of Massa.
chusetts, Republican, in connection with
tho number of troops TO bc sent abroad
this year.
On January !, Secretary Baker said,
more troops had been transported TO
France, including both non-combatant
and fighting forces, than had been
planned. Secretary Baker and Senator
Weeks agreed that it was improper To-
disclose the number Of American troops
in France.
Senator Weeks asked il it were true
that the war department had 79l 900
tons Of ships available for transporting
troops on Feb I. Secretary Baker did
not know, but thought that an under
estimate. In his former statement that
million men more probably could be
sent to France this year Secretary Baker
explained he did not depend wholly on
American shipping in his calculations.
Senator Hitchcock said that on Nov.
30 the shipping board advised him the
total gross available tonnage was $50
ships Of 3.72l SOC tons, including tank.
ers and former German and Austrian
ships.
Secretary Baker said he could not cs-
innate how many trips that tonnage
would supply. Secretary Baker said
he had not determined what troops
would be kept in the southern camps
next summer. If the summer weather
was as extreme as this winter has been
he said, some would have TO be moved.
American tonnage losses, Secretary
Baker said. had been exceedingly light
