MILLION L. y. SOLDIERS
ARE VOW OVERSEAS
Two Hundred and Seyenty-SiX Thou
sand Sent over in June, Largest
Number for Any Month.


American troops sent overseas num-
bered l019155 on July /.
This was made known Tuesday by
President Wilson, who gave to the
public a letter from Secretary Baker
disclosing a record of achievement
" Which the president said "must cause
universal satisfaction" and which will
give additional zest to our national
celebration of the Fourth of July
The first units-non-com
left American shores on May S, 1871.
General Pershing followed twelve days
later and at the end of the month 171S
men had started for the battlefields of
France. June saw this number in
creased by 12,261, and thereafter khaki
clad crusaders" from the western
republic flowed overseas in a steady
stream until upward of 100000 had
departed when the great German
thrust began last March.
The determination to meet Ger
many's supreme effort with the utmost
of Americas available man-power
to assist the desperately resisting
French and British armies is sharply
reflected in the movement of troops
during the last three months The
March sailings of S3,S11 were increas-
ed in April to 117212. May saw an
other 244,345 men embark and last
month 276,372 were sent away, max
ing total for the three months OF
637 ,929. This, Secretary Baker saic
later put the troop movement siN
months ahead of the original program
Substantially thirty divisions are
now in France ready to meet whatever
move the German staff has in prepar-
alton. Some of these divisions already
have been formed into the first field
army under Major General Liggett
others are holding trench sectors al
important points along the battle line
and still others have been broken uE
and brigaded with the French anc
British troops And so, when the
German thrust comes, the Americans
will be called upon to play no small
part in meeting it.
