ALONG THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER NEAR COLUMBIA, PENNSYLVANIA 



Railroad, canal, and river here sweep in splendid curves around the lofty rocks that make the 



valley little more than a gorge. 



casualties of 14,417 in the 177 days be- 

 tween arrival at A. E. F. headquarters 

 and the armistice, the division made a 

 record not surpassed in the war. For 49 

 days it was in the very thick of the hard- 

 est fighting of the conflict. 



The State gave 298,000 men for the 

 Army, 29,000 for the Navy, and 3,000 

 for the Marine Corps — a grand total of 

 330,000 men, to say nothing of the hun- 

 dreds of thousands of workers in ship- 



yards, munition plants, etc., who an- 

 swered their country's call. 



Of course, Pennsylvanians are proud 

 of their State's role in the nation's activi- 

 ties. And the coming of peace will find 

 them at the forefront of those who shall 

 provide the world with the munitions of 

 peace — engines and cars, coal and steel, 

 a thousand commodities, in the making of 

 which Pennsylvania serves doubly — her- 

 self and the whole world.
