At tho opening of the second year the government commit tee on public information has Issued a review of tho first (twolve months of hostilities, showing what has been done by various branches of tho gov ernment to place tho United States In & position to play an effective part in the ultimate defeat of Gcrmnny and her allies. The committee on public information says that all statements contained in tho following summary of tho review are authorized by the war department, nnvy department, United States shipping board and treasury department. The outstanding feature of the first y?nr of war, it is pointed out In the review, has been tho transfor mation of tho standing army nnd Na tional Guard, composed of 9,52-1 o di cers nnd 202,510 men Into n fighting force that now aggregates 123,801 of ficers and 1,528,021 eullsted men. A statement of the adjutant general Bhows that the regular army which In April, 1917, comprised 5,701 ofllccrs and 121,707 men, now is ninde up of 10,008 ofllcers and 503,142 men. The National Guard In April, 1017, Includ ed 3,733 ofllcers and 70,713 men, while now it comprises 10,603 officers andl 431,583 men. Tho reserve corps in servico ono year ago included 4,000 men, Now it includes 00,210 ofllcers nnd 77,300 men. Tho National urmy, which did not exist ono year ago, now Includes 010,830 men. A substantial vanguard (military expediency prohibiting publication of actual numbers) of this army is meet ing tho enemy in France today or is en camped there awaiting the call to the trenches; In 10 cantonments nnd 10 camps and on numerous aviation fields and In a variety of other schools In all' parts of the United States the men of the remaining army arc hardening and training for their part in the great contest overseas. Behind tho activities of this vast force lies a great Industry organized to produce nn adequate supply of mu nitions, equipment, and provisions, and to provide transportation to tho firing line, almost every branch of essential Industry of the country hav ing been drawn upon to produce these material requirements. Expeditionary Forces. Military necessity particularly for bids a detailed review of the activities of the American expeditionary forces. General Pershing and his staff ur rived In Paris on Juno 14, 1017, GO days after the declaration of war. The first America troops arrived in France on June'20. On July 4, In col ebratlon of our natal day and a new fight for liberty, American troops pa raded tho streets of Paris and were greeted as the forerunners of great American armies and vast quantities of supplies and ammunitions. On October 10, 1017, 187 days after the war was declared, American sol diers went on the firing line. In Jan uary American soldiers took over per manently a part of the line as, an American sector, and this line is grad ually lengthening. Behind the fighting line in France the American forces have scientifically prepared a groundwork of camps, com munications, supply bases, and works In anticipation of operations by the full force of the army. They are building and have built railroads, hos pitals, ordnance bases, and docks in France. They hav constructed im mense barracks; erected sawmills, re claimed agricultural lands, and car ried forward many incidental enter prises. The construction tff nn ordnanco base In France, costing $25,000,000, is now well under way. Great quantities of mnterlal used In the foreign con struction wc-rk have been shipped from the Unltpd States from fabricated Ironwork forvnn ordnance shop to nails and crossties for railroads, nnd even tho plies to build docks. All the while there has been a fi.rly even flow of men nnd materials from the United States to France. The men In the trenches, back of the lines, orf the construction projects, and In tho hospitals havo been steadily supplied. Our losses at sea, la men nnd mate rials, have been gratlfylngly small. The greatest single loss occurred on February 5, when the British ship Tuscanla was torpedoed and sunk. The bodies of 144 soldiers, en route to France, have been found nnd 55 others were still missing on March 10. To secure a'n adequate number of competent ofllcers to lead the new armies various plans 'were devised. Two classes at West Point were grad uated la advance of the usual gradu ating dates and special examinations were held in various parts of the coun try for appointments from civil life. Three series of officers' training camps have been held. Of 63,203 candidates In the flMt two series of camps 44,578 qualified and were awarded commis sions, la the third series of camps, opened January B, 1018, about. 18,000 candidates, consisting largely of en listed men, have been In attendance. Corps of Engineers. At the, beginning of tho war the en gineer troops consisted of three regi ments of pioneer engineers, with trains, one mounted company, ono en glnoer detachment at West Point Tho aggregate strength was approximate ly 4,125 officers nndnllstcd men. At present tho aggregate authorized strength Is over 200,000, with an act ual strength of approximately 120,000. Of tho special engineer units re cruited for servico on railways and In tho maintenance of lines of communi cation, mnny aro already In Franco and' others aro awaiting recruitment to full strength In order to bo ready for overseas servico. Tho first en gineer troops, 1,100 strong, to bo sent abroad, arrived In Frnnco about threo months after war was declared. Since that time tho number has been greatly augmented. These troops hnvo been constantly engaged In general en gineering work, Including tho con struction of railways, docks, wharves, cantonments, nnd hospitals for the use of tho American expeditionary forces. They have". In some Instances, In the performance of their duties, engaged In active combat with the cnmy. ' Ordnance Department Since the outbreak of wnr the commissioned personnel of tho ord nance department hns expanded from 07 ofllcers, operating with yearly ap propriations of about $14,000,000 and with manufacture largely confined to government nrsennls, to 5,000 officers In this country and abroad, transacting nn unprecedented war program for the supply of ordnnnce, tho total direct appropriations nnd contract authoriza tions for one year having been $4, 750.503,185. v Tho ordnnnco storage properties embrace separate warehouse buildings nnd miles of railroad siding, all com prehended within tho depot premises, which arc Inclosed by electrically charged wire barriers and lighted nnd patrolled with unremitting vlgllnncc. One of these depots, now under con struction, will Include 100 sepnratc buildings and CO miles of railroad spe cially built to servo the depot's needs. Tho supply division of tho ordnance department handles mnterlal nmount Ing to approximately 10,000 carloads a month. While building tho fonndntlort for greater production, the ordnnnco de partment has provided 1,400,000 rlfleS: has brought the rate of rifle production up to 45,000 per week, sufficient to equip threo nrmy divisions; secured deliveries on more than 17,000 ma chine guns; brought the rate of pro duction of machine guns from 20,000 to 225,000 per yenr; incrensed the rate of production of 3-lnch to 0-inch cali ber guns from 1,500 to 15,000 per yenr; and has arranged for the manufacture of some 35,000 motortrucks nnd trac tors ,for hauling heavy guns nnd am munition, which aro being delivered' utmost ns fast ns they can be shipped. One billion rounds of ammunition has been purchased for the training of troops in the cantonments nlone. An Idea of the extent of the ord nance program may bo gained from the' following few Items of purchase: Twenty-three million hand grenades, 725,000 nutomntlc pistols, 250,000 re volvers, 23,000,000 projectiles for nil calibers of heavy artillery, 427,210,000 pounds of explosives, 240,000 machine guns, nnd 2,484,000 rifles. Tho ordnanco problem, however, Is no less ono of quality than of quantity production. The American soldier Is being provided with weapons which glvo him an additional safeguard to life and a further guaranty of victory. Achievements of ' the ordnance de partment Inctilde the Browning ma chine rifle, model of 1018, nnd the Browning machine gun, heavy type, model of 1018, production of the for mer now being on a quantity basis by machine process, while similar produc tion of the heavier type Is imminent. The heavy Browning machine gun, water cooled,, la a government test fired 20,000 shots In 48 minutes and 10 seconds without malfunction. Quartermaster Corps. The magnitude of the work of the quartermaster corps Is indicated by the operation of the subsistence divi sion, which Is charged with tho Re sponsibility of seeing that food sup plies for the array aro available at all stations from tho Philippines to Lor ralno. Purchases recently mado In cluded 40,000,000 pounds dried beans, 116,000.000 cans baked beans of the 1017 crop, 05,184,475 cans of tomatoes, 01,000,000 cans of condensed milk, and 20,287,000 pounds of prunes, Tho establishment of tho subsistence division centralized the purchases of foodstuffs for the army, previous to which such products wero distributed through tho depot quartermaster. Ef fective January 1, tho centrnl control system hns resulted in greater effi ciency and a big saving. In January, for instance, $100,000 was saved undor this system as compared with the prices obtained by depot quartermas ters, and In February a saving of $39,740 was mado on potatoes nlone. The central control system is still be ing, perfected. Production of 10,000 new automobile trucks Is In progress for the nrmy, In addition to purchases of 8,520 passen ger cars, 0,120 motorcyclea, and 5,040 bicycles, With appropriate repair and replacement equipment. In three months the. enntonment di vision ot the quartermnnter general's department built ?0 cantonments, each one practically a email rtty, compris ing nbout 1,400 separate buildings and providing quarters for 47,000 men. In the construction of these 10 can tonments over 22,000 Individual build ings of many types wero erected for I mo uuumui ui wiu national army while in training. The construction cost approximately $130,000,000, slightly' moro than twice the cost of building the Panama cnnnl. Tho con tractors' profits on tho several con tracts averaged only 2.08 per cent Air Service. Tho air servico hns been called upon In the past 12 months to build, nn enormous structure of tho most highly trained personnel and tho most Intrlcnte equipment with practically no foundation! star" t from. Threo largo appropriations, Includ ing the $040,000,000 act pnsscd without a roll call, mado a total of $001,000,000 avnllablo for tho first year. All of this has since beciJ obligated. s Last April tho air service had an almost negllgililo forco of 05 officers and 1,120 men, 3 small flying fields, less than 300 sccond-rnto pianos, prac tically no aviation industry, nnd only the most scanty knowlcdgo af tho ka leidoscopic development abroad. Tho Urut two months of wnr were required to securo Information, establish a staff, and work out tho, program finally adopted. Tho problem was twfold tlrst, personnel; and, second, 'qulp incut. Today the personnel Is over 100 time:) that of a year ago, practically every member a skilled man who has gone through an Intensive courso rf training. Schools of 11 different kinds hnvo been Instituted, courses of Instruction Intd out, and Instruc tors secured, including foreign ex perts In a score of lines, as follows: For flyers at ground schools nnd Hying Holds; for mechanics at the flying' Holds nnd at over a dozen different factories; for photographers, balloon Ists, adjutants, supply olllccrs, englnoer ofllcers, armorers, and Instructors of mechanics. Development of Navy. The development of the navy during the first year of wur has given the greatest satisfaction. Its growth and achievements during this period may be epitomized In the following para graphs: Strength of tho navy today Is nearly 21,000 ofllccrs and 330,000 en listed men; strength n year ago was 4,792 ofllcers and 77,040 enlisted men. Estimated total expenditures of tho navy during first year of wnr: Dis bursements and outstanding obliga tions, $1,881,000,000. Total naval appropriations, rcnl nnd pending, $3,333,171,005.01. American destroyers arrived at a Iirltlsh port to assist in patrolling Eu ropean waters 28 days after tho decla ration of wnr. There aro now four times ns many vessels In the naval servico as a year ago. Nearly 73,000 mechanics ami, other civilian employees nre working at navy yards and stations. When wnr was declared, 123 nnvnl vessels wero building or authorized, and contracts have been placed since thnt time for 040 vessels. Moro than 700 privately owned ves sels have been purchased qr chartered by the navy. Six new nuthorlzcd battleships aro designed to he of 41,500 tons, tho larg est battleships In the world. Our 35,000-ton cruisers, 35 knots, will be the fastest In the world, their speed equaling the fustest destroyers. Prompt repnlrs of 109 Interned Ger man ships, partially wrecked by their crews, added more than 700,000 tons to our available naval and merchant, tonnage.' Tho navy has developed an 'Ameri can mine believed to combine nil the good points of various types of. mines, nnd Is manufacturing them In quanti ties During the yenr the latest' type of nnvol 10-lnch gun was completed for our new battleships; It throws a pro jectile weighing 2,100 pounds. Navy hns In Its possession now a stock of supplies sufficient for the nvcruge requirements for at least one year. Several hundred submarine chasers, built since tho wnr, hnve. been deliv ered to the nnvy by 81 private con cerns and six navy yards; mnny of these boats have crossed the Atlantic, some In severe weather.

Up to date congress hns authorized $2,034,000,000, of which $1,135,000,000 has been appropriated, for the United States Shipping board nnd Emergency Fleet corporation; on March 1, $353,247,055,87 of this sum hnd been expended. Tho Emergency Fleet corporation hnd requisitioned March 1, 425 steel vessels nnd contracted for 720 ( steel vessel making n total of 1,145 steel ships, ot an nggregnte dead-weight tonnage of 8,104,508 tons; it had let contracts for 400 wooden vessels, ag gregating approximately 1,715,000 dead-weight tons; it had repaired, and put in operation 788,000 dend-welght' tonnage seized from Germany and Auttrla. On March 5 the building program of tho Emergency Fleet corporation was being carried on In 151 plants, First Yeara War Cost Total estimated expense of the United States government In tho first, year of wnr, without loans to tho allies, is $12,007,278,070.07. To help meet this expense, the treas ury department floated $0,016,032,300 subscriptions to Liberty bonds. Bortds, certificates of indebtedness, War Savings certificates, nnd Thrift stamps Issued by the treasury up to March J2, totaled $8,500,802,p52.00.
