steamers from France. In addition,
 the British government furnished
 fleet of transports and agreed to
 supply the American troops carried
 with everything they needed in the
 way of equipment, even small arms.
 The goyernmen however, had
 rifles enough for it's troops and did
 not have to depend on the British
 government for supplies other than
 food. The British government was
 anxious to have the American troops
 that were carried in British ships
 avel as light as possible in order
 that there might be more space on
 these vessels for food and other sup
 plies needed by the British military
 forces and civilian population. It
 was agreed that the British govern
 ment should continue to care for the
 American troops as long as they re-
 mained with the British forces to which many of them were assigned for intensive training purposes upon their arrival in England and France. Tn April under the impetus of necessity and the cooperation in shipping between the United States Great Britain and France, the gov ernr1ent began 10 get into it's stride in transporting it's soldiers across the Atlantic. In that month the troop movement went past the 100000 l mark for the first time and the az i sregate of men in the expeditionary | forces at the end of the month was l 48S.754 At the end of March, one wear lacking six days after the 1 United States entered the war, it had 1 366,542.
 It was not until May, however. that ' the United States began to realize on 1 the trem mendous effort that had been 1 made to transport Am eriCan troops l overseas in large numbers. The aver age daily shipment for the 31 days of l May was 1882. and the months total
 was 244,345 bringing the aggregate : of the American expeditionary forces i 10 728,099. The movement was in 1 creased in June with an average daily l shipment in the 30 days of that month 1 of 9,212 men, making the total for 1 the month 276,372, and bringing the l overseas army to 1,e04, All. This l figure does not include the t4,664 ma ] rines sent to France, and their in- 1 clusion in the fighting forces gives 1 the grand total of 1,019,115 men. | In addition to telling the house ! committee on military affairs that we would have a fully equipped army of l 100000 men by January 1919. Act l ing Quarternaster General Wood said l that the army now numbered 2,50o.- | 900 men overseas and at home.

 Washington, July 2. 1918. t My Dear Mir. Secretary:
 Your letter of July 1 con tains a very significant piece of news and an equally significant report of the forwarding of troops during the last year to the other side of the water. It is record which I think must cause universal satisfa ction, because the heart. of the country is un- question: bly in this war and the people Of the United States re iOiCe to see their force put faster and faster into the great struggle which is destined to redeem the world. Cordially and sincerely yours,
