official Figures For First Time Show
100000 Yanks in Europe.

Paris.-Oficial figures, available
for the first time, show the full extent
to which American ships transported
the American Army of approximately
100000 men to Europe and also
show the very high percentage of ves-
sells escorted by American warships,
irrespective of what vessels were
carrying the troops. These statistics
vary from the previously announced
figures which represented a larger
proportion carried in British ships and
escorted by the British navy.
The official figures show that 1925
per cent of all the American troops
were transported in American ships
1915 per cent in American naval
transports. The percentage carried
in British ships was 1925 per cent.
An additional per cent was carried
in Italian ships leased to the British,
and another ESQ per cent in ships
OF other nations.
The American Navy escorted and
guarded the transport of 1915 per
cent of all the troops; the British
14.12 per cent; the French 3.13 per
cent.

HEAVY CASUALTIES
UNDER WAR PROBE
REP. CAMPBELL OFFERS REsoLU-
TloN TO INQUIRE INTO CAUSE
OF LOSSES IN IS DIVISION.
QUICK ACTION BEING SOUGHT
Author Claims That Soldiers Were
Neglected After Battle Where
Heavy Casualties Were inflicted.

Washington-A definite step to-
ward congressional investigation or
the war department and the army was.
taken In the house. Rep. Campbell,
Republican, OF Kansas, introduced a
resolution providing for special COM
mittee of five members to inquire into
the cause of the heavy Casualties in
the Thirty-fifth division II was re-
ferred to the rules committee, rather
than the military affairs committee,
which would indicate quick action.
Campbell is member OF the rules
committee. Among the charges in
the resolution are:
1. That two commanding officers
of the division were withdrawn for
staff duty the day before the battle
of Argonne and that the division was
commanded during that battle by sub
ordinates.
2. That there were 1000 casualties
and that 1000 wounded were left IN
the field without shelter, food or me-
dical attention for SO hours, during a
great part of which time it was rain
ing.
3. That the division went into bat
tie without proper artillery support,
adequate ammunition, aeroplane pro-
lection, or proper food supplies.
Discussing his resolution, Campbell
said
81 propose the responsibility for this
condition shall be placed where it be-
longs.
Those facts were given to me by
a Red Cross officer who was an eye-
witness. They are verified by men of
the Thirty-hfth
when / am given a hearing upon
the resolution, which expect to have.
l intend that those witnesses be sum.
