 Secretary Baker said today he was delighted that Senator Owen had been at the camp and after reading what the senator had to say, declared that the war department was comhlng every source where additional ship ping to bring the troops home might be found.
 As to the crowding at Brest," the secretary continued q have not the means of knowing what the answer tC that is. I have been told that the
 French railroad congestion is such
 that it is necessary for us to use the French railroads whs we can get them. They are using them in their
 own demobilization and for the Brit issh.
 That might mean sending more people into Brest and keeping them longer than we would desire them to be there in anticipation of the known capacity Of the transport fleet in order to make sure to have enough men there when the transports come in
 When the senator says unsani- tary, l do not think he means un- sanitary in the sense that it is un- clean. There are simply oceans o1 mud there. l know that because ] was at Brest substantially at this tune last year. It rains there 80 days out of 365 and sometimes five times q
 day. The mud seems to be our biz trouble there"
 The secretary added that returning
 officers and others who had passed | through Brest recently had told hin 1 that food conditions were very good
