Variables. After Nov. IL, 1918, all
available American transport was
devoted TO repatriation. In this war,
first call for transport will be to
accelerate the war in the Pacific
over longer lines OF communication.
American tonnage Is much greater.
But so are the forces in Europe

Although the overall size OF the

chances OF discharge for those with
