OVER ClLI0fJ AMERICAN SOLDIERS NOW IN FRANCE

WASHINGTON, July 3 More than a million American soldiers bavo gone to France. The exact number. 1,019,115, was disclosed In correspondence between President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker, dated yesterday and made public today. Of this number approximately 700,000 are fighting troops. Shortly before the announcement was made the House Appropriations committee heard public testimony before that body in connection with the army budget. In it General It. E. Wood, acting quartermaster general of the army, disclosed the fact that by January 1 the United States will have In uniform an army of 4,000,000 men. President Gives It Out. Said the president this afternoon, Issuing the statement: "I have today received the following letter from the secretary of war, which seems to me to contain information which will be so satisfactory to the country that its publication, will be welcomed, and will give additional zest to our national celebration of the Fourth of July: "'War Department, "'Washington. D. C, July 1, 1918. '"My Dear Mr. President: More than one million American soldiers have sailed from the ports in this country, to participate in the war in France. In reporting this fact to you 1 feel you will be interested in a few data showing the progress of our overseas military effort. First One Sailed May 8. "'The first ship carrying military personnel sailed May 8, 1917, having on board Base Hospital No. 4 and members of the reserve nurses' corps. "'General Pershing and his staff sailed on May 30, 1917. The embarkations in the months of May, 1917, to and Including June. 1918, are as follows: 1917. May 1,718 June 12.261 July 12,988 August 18,323 September 32,523 October 38,259 November 23,016 .December 48,840 ' 1918. January 46,776 February 48.027 March 83.811 April 117,212 May 244,345 June 276,372 Marines 14,644 Aggregating 1,019,115 Only 291 Lost at Sea. "The total number of troops returned from abroad, lost at sea and casualties is 8,165, and of these, by reason of the superbly efficient protection which the navy has given our transport system, only 291 have been lost at sea. "The supplies and equipment in France for all troops sent is, by our latest report, adequate, and the output or our war industries in this country is showing marked improvement in practically all lines of necessary equipment and supply. Respectfully yours, "Newton D. Baker." To which I replied: " 'The White House. " 'Washington, July 2.191S. '"My Dear Mr. Secretary Your letter of July contains a very significant piece of news and an equally significant report of the forwarding of troops during the past year to the other side of the water. It Is a record which I think must sause universal satisfaction, because the heart of the country is unquestionably in this war and the people of the United States rejoice to see their force put faster and faster into the great struggle which is destined to redeem the world. Cordially and sincerely yours, " 'Woodrow Wilson'." Baker Discusses It. "To me," said Secretary Baker, discussing his report later with the newspaper correspondent, "a significant feature of the report is this: "That the German submarine menace .made its appearance on this side of the Atlantic early in June. Our anwer to that challenge was to send more troops to France during that month than in any other. '.'The 1,019,115' represents approximately 25 divisions, on the basis of between 40,000 and 45,000 men fighters and ancellary units to a division.

And of this number, nearly 200.C00 have received six month's training or more back of the lines in France or on the fighting front. "When the United States entered the war, and before the President took the decision Into his own hands as to the overseas movement, the General Staff of the army assured him that it would be a miracle of achievement If as many as 200,000 troops were placed In France during the first year of the war." Will Have 1,550,000. Assuming that between now and November lthe War Department did not move monthly more than the average transported monthly since January 1, there would be In France by the time winter sets in more than 1,550,000. Secretary Baker's promise to the Senate Military Affairs committee last winter when the investigation of the government's conduct of the war was in progress, was that there would be 500.000 men in France early in 191S, and 1,500,000 available and ready to be moved to France during the year 1918. The program then laid down by the. War Department has been so accelerated under the driving impulse of President Wilson that it is now, according to Secretary Baker, six months ahead of its schedule. As originally planned this accelerated program was not to go beyond the month of July. Whether or not it is to be continued beyond this period Is in process of discussion with the allied governments, with chances favoring a continuation of the speed-up process. The testimony of General Wood before the Appropriations Committee showed that 1,500,000 will be called into service in thh six months from July 1 to December 30 of this year. The average number of men In the training camps during the past year has been 1,000,000, and during the last seven or eight months it has run considerably over that number. Now 2,500,000 In. In explaining the reasons for large purchases of blankets and other equipment General Wood told the committee that there are now in service 2,500,000 men, and that by the first day of January, 4,000,000 will be in uniform.

"I am a farmer's wife, 75 years of age, and pneumonia left me in a weak, run-down condition, so I could hardly keep about and do my work. A neighbor brought me Vinol and it has built up my strength so fast that I think it is the best medicine I have ever taken." Mrs. Jennie Chapman. There is no secret about Vinol.
