Abstract
Includes a statistical summary of the larger steps in the military preparation and action of the United States in the First World War (United States involvement, April 6, 1917-November 11, 1918). The data presented were compiled by the several sections of the Statistics Branch of the General Staff. In the main they set forth facts taken from the reports made by the Branch each week during the war to the President, the Secretary of War, and to the Chief of Staff. These have been supplemented by facts and figures secured from the offices of the Statistics Branch maintained during the war at General Headquarters and at the headquarters o:f the Services of Supply in France. Some of the data have also been secured from the office of the Statistics Branch maintained at the headquarters of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace in Paris. Other data have been taken from the reports of the Interallied Bureau of Statistics, of which the Statistics Branch has been the American agency, and from the files of the Supreme War Council at Versailles with which the Branch has maintained close contact.
Includes chapters on those who served, training, transportation, food, clothing, equipment, weapons including guns, artillery, and other resources, airplanes, motors, balloons, battles, health and casualties, expenditures, and some comparative statistics. Also includes diagrams, tables, maps, and an index.
