RUSH U.S.TRANSPORT SERVICE

Certain Hampering Obstacles on Other Side to Be Removed. Washington, Feb. 15.—The American transport service overseas Is to be speeded up. Certain hampering obstacles which exist are to be removed. These exist on the other side of the ocean and are due to a number of causes which officials believe can be remedied. This task will be undertaken by the representative of President Wilson, who is shortly to proceed to Great Britain and France to take up at first hand all matters of war policy that were not settled at the time Col. E. M. House went to Paris to attend the inter-allied war council. He also will sit as a member of the war council when it resumes its sessions at Versailles.
