Georgia still will have up wards of 6,000 men to furnish under the first call. The number is large be cause of the fact that virtually 2,000 men have been discharged from camps for physical disabilities and these will not be credited to the boards.

BAKER TO ANSWER SHIPPING OUESTIOPJS IN SECRET LATER ON Senator Hitchcock Insistent That Secretary Show What Tonnage Is Available for Sending Men to France WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Secretary Baker came up for cross-examination to day before the senate military commit tee on his picture of the state of pre paredness of the army, which congres sional critics have attacked as "grossly exaggerated.” But. the principal point of the whole controversy—the question of where the army is going to get ships to transport a million men to France this year—was left untouched, partly because Secretary Baker did not have the detailed figures to show the committee on what basis he made his assertion, and partly because the committee got into a squabble over whether it would be proper to have the secretary of war disclose the figures in public. The upshot of it was that the ques tion of ships was left to be presented in detailed exact statements to the com mittee in secret session tomorrow and the cross-examination went on to other subjects of a general nature. Senator Hitchcock, who has attacked particularly, the secretary of war’s statement that the United States could put a million men in France this year— in addition to 500,000 there early this spring—was insistent that Mr. Baker should show the committee what grounds he had for believing there were ships available for their transport and supply. Secretary Baker replied he didn’t have the exact figures in his mind, but that his statement was made on figures which had been prepared by experts who took in the Information at the disposal of the shipping board, as well as what ships might be available from neutral and for eign sources. The secretary made plain that he was not counting wholly on American ships to transport the troops. Secretary Baker did say, however, that probably the form of his original statement to the committee, which has been made the basis of attack, was un fortunate in that it expressed his gen eral opinion of a broad situation rather than the exact statement of experts dealing in details. ‘The misfortune for me, if I may call it such.” said Secretary Baker, ’lay in the fact that I attemped to give opin ions of be broad general siuaion as I saw it, when the information lay in de tails that ought to have been gotten from he expers in direct charge, or In statistics giving specific facts. I was attempting a general survey. It was a misfortune for me to do that.” Estimate Small, He Thought An estimate of 791,000 tons of ships available for transport on February 1, the secretary said, he thought was small rather than too large. The shipping board. Senator Hitch cock said, had advised him that on November 1. there were available 582 American ships, all of more than 1,500 tons each, including tank ships and the German and Austrian ships taken over. Mr. Baker did not know how many troops that number of ships would transport but promised to inform the committee later. Secretary Baker said he had not de termined whether troops would be kept in the southern camps next surhmer. 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 rendered In the protection of the army,” he said, “has been unexampled.” Secretary Baker gave the opinion that new legislation would be desirable *o give the president general powers to transfer and co-ordinate functions -it various departments as conditions arise. Possibility that the actual purchasing power for the war department may be largely placed In the hands of Edward R. Stettinius, surveyor general, was indi cated by Secretary Baker. "Mr. Stettinius is relied upon to do this thing,” he said. Secretary Baker’s cross-examination was begun by Senator Weeks, of Massa chusetts. Republican, in connection with the number of troops to be sent abroad this year. Expectations Exceeded On January 1, Secretary Baker said more troops had been transported to France, including both noncombatant and fighting forces, than had been planned. Secretary Baker and Senator Weeks agreed that it was improper to disclose the number of troops now in France. Transportation of fighting troops was temporarily reduced. Secretary Baker said, in discussing the shipping situa tion, by the necessity of sending larger engineer forces. He did not have with him detailed statistics regarding avail able ships, but promised to supply it. The shipping board, and the war de partment, Secretary Baker said, are in constant contact, exhaustively studying the shipping situation. General Bliss, he said, took the information abroad as a basis of calculation in connection with the shipping situation. About 130,- 000 tons additional have recently been secured. Senator Weeks asked If it were true that the war department had 791,000 tons of ships available for transporting troops on February 1. Secretary Baker did not know, but thought that an under estimate. In his former statement that a mil lion more men probably could be sent to France this year. Secretary Baker ex plained he did not depend wholly on American shipping in his calculations. Senator Hitchcock said that on No vember 30 the shipping board advised Wonderful Egg Producer Any poultry nlwr can easily double bls profits by doubling the egg production of his hens. A scientific tonie has been discovered that revitalises the flock and makes hen work sH the time. Die tonic is called “More Eggs.’ Give your hens a few cents 1 worth of “More Egg-,'' and you will be amazed and delighted with results.. A dollar's worth of “More Eggs” will double this year's production of eggs, so if you wish to try this great profit maker, write E. J. Reefer, poultry expert., .’>ls2 Reefer Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., who will send yon a season’s supply of “More Kgjs” Tonic for 81.00 (prepaid).

(Advt.) him the total gross available Ameri can tonnage was 582 ships of 3,721,806 tons, including tankers and former Ger man and Austrian ships. Secretary Baker said he could not estimate how many troops that tonange would sup ply. Diannas Booa*velt Editorial The much discussed editorial in the Metropolitan magazine, of which Colonel Roosevelt was associate editor, attack ing the war department’s preparations to send troops to France, came up again. Secretary Baker had replied to the edi torial in his first statement by saying the war department had done more than the magazine contended it should. "Did the editor nave any information other than an ordinary citizen might have had at that time?” asked Senator Weeks. “Oh. no,” said Mr. Baker, adding that in August, when the article appeared, he had been quite certain that tbe depart ment could do more toward training troops than it suggested, and also that there was good promise that more could be done toward getting them to France than the article proposed. Senator Weeks asked if the war de partment had succeeded in doing as much as it had hoped for in October. “I can answer that in this way,” Mr. Baker said. “On January 1 we had transported to France more troops than our schedule had called for.” “Both combatant and non-combatant troops?” asked Senator Weeks. ‘That is the aggregate,” Mr. Baker said. Senator Weeks said he had heard that a military force ran about 40 per cent combatant troops. Secretary Baker said he did not have the figures, but thought that the forces in France might show that ratio. He agreed to furnish Senator con fidentially with exact figures as to the number of men shipped and the propor tion of fighting troops. Senator Weeks asked what tonnage the war department had available. He said he had heard that it had 791,000 tons on February 1. Mr. Baker did not know exactly, but thought that was an under-estimate. Tonnage CaiuculaUons. Senator Weeks asked it the depart ment figured on net, gross or dead weight tonnage. He said that he had heard that the German statements of tonnage destroyed by submarines were based on deadweight calculations and the English on net tonnage, which made the apparently divergent figures given by each side very close together in fact. Mr. Baker could not enlighten the sen ator on the point. Before General Bliss went to Europe, Mr. Baker said, an exhaustive study of the shipping situation was made. It was reviewed before he went back the sec ond time to attend the sessions of the supreme war council. The secretary said the war department had kept In closest touch with the shipping board and the supreme war council had the data on which to rely. "Is there any prospect of more ton nage becoming available at an early date?” asked Senator Weeks. “Oh, yes,” said Mr. Baker. “I recall now that 130,000 tons additional has be come available during the last ten days.” The vessels were withdrawn from va rious lines where they had been replaced by neutral shipping. Much of the ton nage orgininally available for men and supplies had been diverted to the harbor and arsenal projects abroad, he said, and the purchase of artillery abroad had served to relieve shipping somewhat, although the necessity of' transporting raw materials for the guns had figured in the final result. Examination of Secretary Baker was Interrupted while senators discussed go ing into executive session to permit the secretary to furnish confidential infor mation. The discussion was precipita ted by Senator Reed, who thought the committee entitled to exact Infor mation of the number of men now in France, and on other subjects. Chairman Chamberlain, as well as Senators Hitchcock and McKellar fav ored an open session and to let the sec retary indiacte what questions he would rather answer in private. Wants Open Session As the secretary’s statment, on which he is being cross examined, was made at an open hearing, Senator Hitchcock said he thought the committee would make a mistake in not examining him at a similar hearing. “I think the committe and the public are entitled to know where he proposes to get the tonnage to supply the men abroad,” continued the Nebraska sena tor. “I think the secretary ought ro be able to put those figures before us to back up his statement that he ex pects to have a million men over there this year.” “I think the whole question of ships ought to be discussed in an executive session,” said Secretary Baker, in re ply to Chairman Chamberlain, who ask ed his views. The tonnage matter, he added, involved international arrange ments and he sugested that he be per mitted- to prepare a statement to show the present status. “I don’t think It is necessary for the secretary to come here to disclose facts in order to justify statements he has made,” interrupted Senator Kirby, Dem ocrat. “I am opposed to it. I think the committee in executive session ought to determine just how far it is going in this investigation.” Secretary Baker agreed that the committee should have every available fact, including confidential information. Senator Weeks said he wanted to devel op just what could be done in getting men, munitions and other produtes abroad, but without disclosing confi dential matter. The Massachusetts senator said, how ever, he thought there was “a good deal of camouflage about keeping informa tion from the enemy which is published in annual reports and otherwise.” “I want to make a suggestion if I may,” Secretary Baker interposed. “The misfortune for me, if I may call it such, in my first statement to the committee, lay in the fact that I attempted to give opinions of the broad general situation as I saw it, when the information lay In details that ought to have been got ten from the experts in direct charge, or in statistics giving specific facts. I was attempting a general survey. It was a misfortune for me to do that. I think it better to give the committee specific statemetns and the committee is entitled to that.” Secretary Baker proposed to have de tailed statements of information pre pared at the department and submitted to the committee and then If the com mittee desired to cross examine him later regarding the statements he would be glad to return. Senator Hitchcock asked if the secre tary would object to giving the commit tee the basis for his opinion that he expected a million men would be in France before fall. “Not in the least,” said Mr. Baker. “I could have the committee go Into the ad joining room and give It to you in three sentences.” Senator Hitchcock thought the in formation should be given the same pub licity as his first statement. “The secretary conveyed to the coun try.” said Senator Hitchcock, “ the In formation that I think was very unfor tunate. Did you consider shipping an important factor?” “Very Important—controlling.” Mr. Baker replied. “I was not relying whol ly on the supply of American shipping.” | Shipping Tonnage Senator Hitchcock asked how many ’ tons of American shipping could be de pended on and Secretary Baker said he could not give the information.

Senator Hitchcock asked Secretary Baker if that statement conformed to his information and the secretary said he could not remember. “If that statement is correct, how many troops can we supply In Europe?’’ persisted Senator Hitchcock. ‘I can’t answer that,” said Secretary Baker. “It would depend on tne basis of calculation.” , Senator Hitchcock said he understood that basis was five tons per man. Sen ator Weeks said he thought it was fif ty pounds per man per day. Senator Beckham interrupted protest ing against "efforts to drag out of the secretary indirectly, by probing ques tions” information which would be of value to the enemy. Senator Hitchcock said he did not wish to be misunderstood, but only desired to find the basis of Mr. Baker’s assur ance to the country that a million men could be transported to France during 1918. “You said you expected to have l.OOix -000 men in France in 1918. Now, how would you supply them?” he contin ued. Prospect* of Shipping Mr. Baker read from ’his* original statement that he had said a million and a half troops would be available for shipment in 1918 and that tne prospect of forwarding them “was not unpromis ing.” "Why do you think it is not unprom ising?” insisted Senator Hitchcock. Secretary Baker replied that esti mates made as to available tonnage in dicated the possibility. When he made the statement, Secre tary Baker added there was in his mind the conclusions of the shipping board as to what tonnage it could produce in 1918. There were other factors as to shipping, he added, such as vessels in non-esesntial trades and domestic routes which might be released by sailing ships or neutral tonnage. “I am asking you for the basis of your assurance to the country that the pros pect was not unpromising that we would have a million men in France in 1918,” persisted Senator Hitchcock. “I am anxious to tell you what is in my mind,” answered Secretary Baker, asking again that he be permitted to explain his statement as far as possi ble without disclosing military informa tion. Before General Bliss went to Europe, he said, the subject was discussed with members of the shipping board and others as to the “extent to which the emergency fleet corporation would sup plement the existing tonnage” and the “extent that tonnage then available to America would need to be ’ by international arrange. in order to carry out the allied i..jgram.” Bliss Determined Question Secretary Baker said he did not per sonally determine the question, but that it was done by General Bliss and others. Upon Senator Weeks’ suggestion, the committee dropped the shipping ques tion until the secretary could get in formation from his department to prop erly answer the questions. This will be furnished to the committee in executive session. Senator Kirby wanted to adjourn un til tomorrow when an executive session would be held, but other senators ob jected and the examination went on. Senator Weeks then asked if Secre tary Baker knew how many pairs of shoes were required per man in the French and English armies. Mr. Baker did not, but said he would obtain the information. The senator said he wanted to know in order to “determine if we are buying more shoes than are neces sary.” Senat >r Weeks said he had received a letter in which it was charged that many men in the army are of German sympathy and that many “officers and men in conversations expressed pro- German sentiment.” The writer of the letter, he said, cited an instance of an American officer be ing sent home from France by General Pershing for that reason. The senator said he had also heard of a chaplain who had been dismissed for similar reasons. Secretary Baker said he had received no information of such conditions, but would make an inquiry. "I don’t doubt but that something of that sort exists,” said the Massachu setts senator, “and I think we ought to make an example of some one.” Senator Reed said it was unfair to question the secretary in a large audi torium filled with spectators, and im pugning that the army was reeking with treason. “Why should the question be asked at all?” the senator demanded. Senator Frelinghuysen interrupts! Senator Reed yielded. “I want to ask a question, which 1 hope will pass the censor,” said Senator Frelinghuysen, with his eyes fixed on Senator Reed. A tilt followed in which Senator Reed CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Zc* Signature of declared he had not been trying to "censor the meeting.” May Mov» Southern Troops Senator Frelinghuysen turned to Secretary Baker, with the statement that the committee was not interested in the punishment of medical officers found negligent, but in the protection of the men in the camps. He said Surgeon General Gorgas had stated to the com mittee that he lacked authority to draw the public health service into the camp sanitation work. "Has that subject been given any con sideration?” he asked. Secretary Baker said the recommenda tions of the American E’ublic Health -vs sociation had been adopted with the ap proval of the surgeon general of the army and navy. “Then you think that you have the health As the men well in hand?” said Senator Frelinghuysen. “Yes.’* “Do you expect to keep soldiers in the southern camps during the sum mer?” “I can’t answer.” the secretary re plied. It depended much upon the na ture of the summer weather, he said. If it was comparatively as severe as the winter, he said, it would be neces sary to move some of the troops. Senator Fletcher, of Florida, inter rupted to deny that the south is un healthful. Senator Frelinghuysen replied that If the soldiers stayed in some places "they would shake to death with chills and fever before they reached France.” Statements attributed to Lord North cliffe say preparations were being made in America for raising an army bu{ lit tle was being made to provide for the transportation across the ocean, were read by -Senator Hitchcock. Secretary Baker said he had not heard of the statement, and could not remem ber if the subject had been discussed In conference with Lord Northcliffe. Declaring that “everybody knows about half the men. both officers and enlisted men, in the camps have never been trained with artillery or machine guns,” Senator McKellar asked the sec retary if he thought it wise to send men to France untrained. Secretary Baker replied that many ar tillery officers were being trained in France at a school turned over by the French and that it took more time to train artillerymen than officers. “The plan,” the secretary added, "is to give as much training in this country as possible by concentrating artillery sup plies in units likely to go first to Franca but in no case for them to be used in combat until their training is completed on the other side. I therefore do not think it unwise to send men over who are not completely trained.” Is it unwise to send men not trained at all, men who have never seen artil lery or machine guns?" asked Senator McKellar. stating a major had told him that, at his camp, only the commanding general had ever seen a six-inch gun.

Adema 820 Chicago, UL would not hesitate, if the necessity should arise, to send raw recruits to _ France to be trained, if General Per sing thought it the wisest thing to do.” Senator McKellar asserted and Secre tary Baker admitted that training abroad would cost more. Senator Reed sug gested that a shortage of shipping might make it wise to send men across to be trained without holding them in this country for their training. “General Pershing,” Secretary Baker explained, “knows exactly what is need ed to make a finished soldier for this kind of warfare. He sends us his pri ority schedules, whether for shipment of artillery, infantry, signal corps or other arms of the service. It depends on the length of time he wants them, to have additional training.” Senator McKellar said Surgeon Gen eral Gorgas had testified that Secretary • Baker had directed that cantonments be J completed before hospitals were finished. "Why did you do that?” demanded the senator. “I never gave any order on that sub ject nor do I recall any divergence of opinion between the surgeon general and myself,” replied the secretary. Senator McKellar asked for details as to the amount of artillery furnished to the training camps In this country which Mr. Baker agreed to supply in full. He read a brief statement showing that na ! tional guard artillery brigades have been 40 per cent equipped with thre>e-inch guns and that national army canton ments have been supplied with from one to six batteries each. Every howitzer regiment has at least two 4.7 guns for practice. Secretary Baker agreed *that more guns were necessary tor efficient train ing. Senator McKellar then took up the order forbidding publication of army contracts. Mr. Baker explained that the only object was to prevent publlca-i tion of lists of plants making war sup plies as military men feared “organiz ed campaigns of sabotage." Special r n .
