WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
March 1. - Transportation is
admittedly the crux of Uncle
Sans whole war problem.
Other nations have raised
big armies and modified
their industrial resources,
but no nation ever has been
called upon to transport SO
vast an army or such volumes
Of supplies SO great . dis
tance to the field of battle.
Uncle Sans line of communi
cation is much more than merely
across the Atlantic ocean.
The average haul for men and
supplies in the United States t.
ports Of embarkation is 1906
miles. Then comes 1000 miles Of
submarine-infested ocean.
But our problem of transporta
tion is not solved even when oul
vessels have reached the haven Of
French ports.
The headquarters of the Amer.
lean Expeditionary Force lie al
most 600 miles from these ports
and every man, every gun, every
pound Of food and munitions mus
be loaded and carried virtually
across the whole Of France before
1t reaches its destination.

1.-THE mayor has been making
insinuat'ons and charges against
me and other city officials for
some time. He's going to stop 1t
right now. Fawcett knows that
there is no truth in this report and
he knows he can't prove 1t. / want
the public to know just how
absurd his statements are
Fawcett's charges against Petit
were made in the mayors office
Thursday morning after he had
been informed that Petit had
made public number OF affi-
davits regarding the treatment OF
patients at the contagious hospi-
tai, managed by the mayors son,
and about young Fawcett's con-
duct with women patients.
"If my son ought to be fired
because of these affidavits, Petit
ought to be fired for things he
has done" the mayor said.
Would Swear To 1t.
"Why, Petit had q girl on his
lap in hotel room here one night
when some of his own officers
raided the hotel. That was why
Arvid Rydstrom and several other
men were talking Of RECALLING
Petit. The story got all over
town. And Petit admitted that it
was true.
"He stood right in this office
and admitted to me that he had
had a woman on his lap when the
officers came into the room. II
the papers want an affidavit from
me that he made this statement.
I'll swear to 1t on the highest kind
of an OATH"
A rumor gained circulation
some time ago that this alleged
raid and discovery of Petit with
q woman on his lap had occurred
on a night when the commission
er, accompanied by Times re-
porter, made survey Of the un-
derworld.
When asked whether or not this
was the night the alleged occur
renee took place. Fawcett said he
was not sure.
Says He Can Prove II.
Fawcett reiterated his charge
Friday, after he had heard that
Petit was bringing suit against
him.
II can porve It, all right when
the time comes" he declared.
