AMERICA WAS HEAGY 10 HIT FINAL BLOV Yankee War Machine Periected When Armistice Was Signed American Headquarters in France, (By the Associated Press,) Tuesday, Nov. 19.—The extent of America's military effort in France at the time the armistice was declared is shown by statistics which The Associated Press is now spermitted to make pub- lic. a part of the great eflort made in war preparations in men, money and material, On the morning of November 11, the Unitéd States had in France 78,391 officers and 1,881,876 men, a total of almost 2,000,000,000. There wera 750,000 combat troops in the Argonne action, exclusive of the \American units engaged elsewhere. The American army has brought to France and has in operation 967 standard gauge locomotives and 13,174 standard gauge freight cars of American manufacture. It also has in service 350 locomotives and 973 cars of foreign origin. To meet de- mands which the existing French rail- ways were unable to meet, 843 miles of standard gauge railway were con- structed. Five hundred miles of this have been built since June 1. The de- partment of light railways reports the construction of 115 miles of road and 140 miles of German light railway The stupendous figures show only | | scration on November 11 more than 53,000 motor vehicles af all description. Hven at the present stage of the armistice, it 8 not permiesible to hint at the vast stores of munitions and armament brought over and held in readiness. The American expedition- ary forces were in no danger of being placed on short rations had the war continued. For instance, the Americans have 390,000,000 rations of beans alone; 183,000,000 rations of flour and flour substitutes; 267,000,000 rations of milk; 161,000,000 rations of butter or substitutes; 143,000,000 rations of sugar; 89,000,000 rations of meat; 67,000,000 rations of coffee and 118,- 000,000 rations of rice, hominy and other foods. There are requisites such as flavorings, fruits, candy and pota- toes in proportton, while there are 761,000,000 rations of cigarettes and tobacco in other forms. Ten steamer berths have been built at Bordeaux, having a total length of 4,100 feet. At Monitolr, near St. Na- zaire, eight berths are under construc- tlon with a total length of over 8,200 feet. Great labor has been expended in dredging operations, repairing | French docks and increasing railway terminal facilities. Warehouses having an aggregate floor ares of almost 28,- 000,000 square feet have been con- structed. These figures serve in a measure to show the magnitude of American ac- complishment, and the great machine is in operation today as the American Third army moves forward into Ger- man territory.
