. had been threatened by some repub-
; lican members of the house did not
materialize.
The president said
Gentlemen of the congress, the
year that has elapsed since / last
stood before you to fulfill my consti-
| tutional duty to give to the congress
, from time to time information on
the state Of the Union has been 80
crowded with great events, great
processes and great results that !
cannot hope to give you an adequate
picture OF its transactions, or of the
far-reaching changes which have
been wrought in the life of our ma
tion and of the world. You have
yourselves witnessed these things as
l have. 1t Is too soon to assess
them: and we who stand In the midst
OF them and are part of them are
less qualified than men of another
generation will be to say what they
mean, or even what they have been.
But some great outstanding facts are
unmistakabe and constitute in a
sense part of the public business
with which it is our duty to deal.
To state them Is to set the stage for
the Legislative and executive action
which must grow out of them and
which we have yet to shape and de-
termine.
Troops Overseas.
"A year ago we had sent 145,91S
men overseas. Since then we have
sent 1,950,513, an average Of 162,542
each month, the number in fact rals-
ing in May last to 245,951, in June
to 27S.760, in July to ,1S2, and
continuing to reach similar figures
in August and September--in August,
2S9,570, and In September, 257 ,4SS. No
such movement of troops ever took
place before, across 5000 miles of sea,
followed by, adequate equipment and
supplies, and carried safely through
extraordinary dangers of attack
dangers which were alike strange and
infinitely difficult to. guard against.
In all this movement only 1853 men
were lost by enemy attack, $50 OF
whom wereF upon a single English
transport which was sunk near the
Orkney islands.

of this great movement of men and /

We. profited greatly by the expert-
