On Jan. l, Baker said. more troops had

1t was improper To disclose the number Of

transportation of fighting forces necessa-

neer forces.
Senator Weeks asked if il j. true that
the war department had even 19l 900 tons
OF ships available for transportation of
troops on February l.
Secretary Baker said he did not know.

his former statement that million men
