 tons of ships available for transport ing troops on Feb. 1. Secretary bahef did not know but thought that an ul- derestimate.
 In his former statement that mll- lion men more probably could pc self' to France this year Secretary Baker explained, he did not depend WnoIy on American shipping in his calcula- tions.
 Senator Hitchcock said that on Nov. 30 the Shipping Board advised hI1n that the total gross available Amerl- can tonnage was 5S2 ships of S,72I, 8oo tons. including tankers and former German and Austrian ships. Secre- tary Baker said he could not estimate how many troops that tonnage would supply.
 Secretary Baker said he had not determined whether troops would De kept in the southern camps next sum- mer. 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, have been exceedingly light. "The service the navy has ren- dered in the protection of the army, VI he said, ''has been unexampled." Secretary Baker gave the opinion that new legislation would be desira- ble to give the President genera powers to transfer and coordinate functions of various departments as conditions arise.
 Statements attributed to Lort Northcliffe saying preparations were being made in America for raising ar army but little was being made tt provide for it's transportation across the ocean, were read by Senator | Hitchcock.
 Secretary Baker said he had no remember whether the subject hac been discussed in conferences witt Lord Northcliffe.
 l Declaring that everybody know about one-half the men, both officer and enlisted men in the camps hav' never been trained with artillery O. machine guns," Senator McKellal asked the secretary whether h. thought it wise to send men to Franc 1 untrained.
 1 Secretary Baker replied that man. artillery officers were being trained In France at a school turned over b, the French and that it took more tim to train artillerymen than officers.
 ''The plan of the department" tn secretary added, 'is to give as muc1 training in this country as possible b concentrating artillery supplies i units likeliest to go first to France but in no case for them to be used i combat until their training is com pleted on the other side. I therefor do not think it unwise to send me over who are not completely trained.

French RAIDS fierce
Trench Attacks Increase With In
tenslty Along Whole Front.
Hundreds Of Prisoners Taken While
Artillery Throws Unheard OF Guam
titles of Shells.

French Grand Headquarters, Feb.
T.-Trench raids along the French
front have increased In intensity DUR
Ing the last month to such an extent
that they have become, in some In
stances, battles in which thousands Of
men have been engaged and hundreds
Ii70f prisoners %aken. The artillery Is
throwing unheard of quantities Of
shells.
The objects of the raids vary wide
ly. Sometimes a raid Is undertaken
in order to identify enemy units, and
at other times to improve the lines or
capture observation points.
Again a raid may be made to de-
stroy the enemy's works and prevent
him from attacking. This was the
case in Saturdays raid at Aspach, Al
SAGE, where the Germans were In
strongly fortified lines which they had
held since December, 1914.
The enemy positions were lombard
ed beyond recognition and placed in
such condition as to hinder German OPP
erations. The correspondent watched
the shower Of metal tearing away the
wire entanglements, flattening the gun
emplacements and setting fire to the
enemy ammunition dumps.
Nearly everywhere the enemy front
lines are held lightly, and the main
bodies Of troops are kept so far in the
rear that occasionally the French have
reached the third and even the fourth
line with slight resistance.
