WASHINGTON. July 3.-Ameri-
can troops sent overseas numbered
1.019,115 on July /.
This was maze known Tuesday
night by PRIEST Wilson. who gave 20
the public a letter from Sec'y Baker

later and at the end OF the month
LIS men had started for the bat
tlehelds OF France June saw this
number increased by 1921 and
thereafter khaki-Clad crusaders
from the western republic flowed
overseas in a steady stream until
upwards OF 100000 had departed
when the great German thrust be-
gan last March.
PRIEST Wilson's determination TO
meet Germany's supreme effort with
the utmost OF Americas availa bic
man power 10 assist the desperately
resisting French and British armies
is sharply reflected in the move
ment Of troops during the last three
months. The March sailiRgs Of 3d.
S1l were increased in April 10 A.
212. May saw another 244,345 men
EN- bark. and last month 276.372
were sent away, making a total for
the three months OF 637,929. This
Sec'y Baker said later. put the troop
movement six months ahead Of the
original program.
Thirty Divisions over Now.
Substantially thirty divisions are
now in France ready 70 meet what
ever move the German staff has in
preparation. Some OF these divi-
siOns already have been formed into
the first field army under Mai. Gen.
Ligget.. others are holding trench
sectors at important points along the
battle line. and still others have been
broken up and brigaded with re
