Million Men 10 Return
From Europe Between
Now and End Of Year

A million men will return from
Europe to the United States be-
tween now and the end of the year
in the rapid shift of military might
to crush the Japanese.
This million will bring to 1850 900
the number to be brought home for
redeployment or discharge, Fewer
than 100000 troops will remain in
Europe to be removed after jan
uary /.
These figures were announced to-
day by Maj. Gen. c. P. Gross, chief
of transportation of the Army, on
his return from the Potsdam con-
ference. His statement was made
in connection with the third ami
versary today of the TranSporta-
tion Corps, whose 100000 members
throughout the world are accom-
plishing this biggest moving job IN
history.
Complete Job by May.
In addition to those soldiers COM
Ing home from Europe, others have
embarked from Europe on the
month and a half sea trip of near
ly $4,000 nautical miles to Pacific
bases.
Gen. Gross declared the shift of
American forces from Europe will
be completed by next May or within
the year set for the job in plans
made we'll in advance of Germanys
capitulation.
So swiftly is redeployment being
accomplished, the Transportation
Corps chief said, that some men
who fought against Germany al
ready have been returned to this
country, have had their furloughs
and have embarked from West
Coast ports to take up the fight
against Japan.
There are now, Gen. Gross said,
approximately 10000 American SOL
diers on the high seas throughout
the world.
Enormous Railroad Job.
Another 100000 redeployed troops,
he said, are at Transportation
Corps ports or staging areas or at
Army reception and personnel CEN
ters or on furlough.
Some indication of the tremen-
dous job the Nations railroads are
called on to face in this shift of
military power across the world is
given by other figures, Gen. Gross
cited:
This month approximately 1850
900 troops will have been trans
ported in organized troop move
ments. In April, before this tide
began, $4,000 troops were trans
ported by rail in groups of 40 or
more. In May, when the first con-
tingent of returning troops began
to arrive, $4,000 troops were trans
ported. June was the first full
month after redeployment got un-
