Especially impressive are the figures dealing with troop movements:
"During our nineteen months of war more than 2,000,000 American soldiers were carried to France. Half a million of these went over in the first thirteen months, the others in the last six months.
"The highest troop-carrying records are those of July, 1918, when 306,000 soldiers were carried to Europe, and June, 1919, when 364,000 were brought home to America.
"Most of the troops who sailed for France left from New York. Half of them landed in England and the other half landed in France.
"Among every 100 Americans who went over forty-nine went in British ships, forty-five in American ships, three in Italian, two in French, and one in Russian shipping under English control.
"Our cargo ships averaged one complete trip every seventy days and our troopships one complete trip every thirty-five days.
"The cargo fleet was almost exclusively American. It reached the size of 2,700,000 dead-weight tons and carried to Europe about 7,500,000 tons of cargo.
"The greatest troopship among all the ships has been the Leviathan, which landed 12,000 men (the equivalent of a German division) in France every month.
"The fastest transports have been the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific, which have made complete turn-arounds, taken on new troops and started back again in nineteen days."
