A number of aerial battles were OBJ

Tt was exactly o'clock last evening

PRESIDENT WILSON. MAKES PUB
Lie A LETTER SHOWING REC
ORD ACHIEVEMENT IN MOVE
MENT OF SOLDIERS OVERSEAS.

WASHMJQTON, July 2.--Amer-
fcan troops sent overseas number
ed f.o19,115 on July 1st. This was
made known tonight by President
Wilson, who gave to the public a
letter from Secretary Baker, dis
closing the record achievement
which the president said must
cause universal satisfaction and
which S&iI give additional zest to-
our national celebration of the
Fourth OF July Substantially
thirty divisions are now in France,
ready to meet whatever move the
German staff has in preparation.
The FIRST units of non-combat-
ants left American shores May 8,
1917. General Pershing followed
twelve days later and at the end
of the month LIS men had start
ed for the French battlefields. The
month of June saw this number In
creased by 12,261 and thereafter a
steady stream followed until up
wards OF 100000 had departed
when the German thrust began
last March.
President wilson's determina-
ton to meet Germany's supreme
efforts with the utmost OF Ameri-
cas- available manpower, to assist
the French and British armies. is
sharply reflected in the movement
OF troops during the last three
months. The March sailings of
s3.s11 increased in April to 117,212,
and May saw another 244.s45 men
embark, and during last month
276.372 were sent away, making a
total for the three months Of
1929.
