WAR DEPARTMENT SEVERAL
MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

Washington, July 2f-Amer1can
troops sent overseas numbered l.
019,115 on July /.
This was made known tonight by
President Wilson, who gave to the
public 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 4th Of
July"
The first units-non-combatant-
left American shores May 8, 1917.
General Pershing followed twelve
days later and at the end OF the
month 1718 men had started for the
battle fields Of France. June saw
this number increase by 1921, and
thereafter khaki-clad j"crusaders"
from the western republic flowed
overseas in a steady stream, until
upwards of 10000 had departed
when the great German thrust began
last March.
President Wilson's determination
to meet Germany's supreme efforts
with the utmost of Americas avail
able man-power to assist the desper-
ately resisting French and British
armies is sharply reflected in the
movement of troops during the past
three months. The March sailings
Of 1881 were increased In April to
1922. May saw another 244,345
men embark and last month 276,372
were sent away, making a total for
three months Of 637,929. This, Sec
Rotary Baker said later,put the troop
movements six months ahead Of the
original program.
Substantially thirty divisions are
in France ready to meet what
ever move the German staff has in
Some Of these divisions
already have been formed into the
first field army under Major General
others are holding trench
sectors at important points along the
battle line and still others have brok-
IN up and brigaded with the French
and British troops. And so when
he German thrust comes the Ameri-
,ans will be called upon to play no
small part in the meeting.

Editor Clarion:
The Federal Loan Bank has been
able to lower the cost OF borrowing
money through Farm Loan Associa-
lions, as appears in their letter here
with. BY this new method OF show
ing and insuring titles, the Federal
Land Bank protects itself from loss

time renders it unnecessary for a
