They have been told that San Francisco was the only place where proper facilities exist to equip and to muster out soldiers, and to care for transports. The monstrous fallacy of such statements is well understood by people who know any- thing about Seattle, but the difficulty Seems to lie in making the truth ap- parent at Washington.
