The States of the South furnished the following numbers of
soldiers as of November 11, 1917:
Texas, 161,065
Georgia, 85,506
Oklahoma, 80,169
Tennessee, 75,878
Kentucky, 75,043
Alabama, 74,678
Virginia, 73,062
North Carolina, 73,003
Louisiana, 65,988
Arkansas, 61,027
Mississippi, 54,295
South Carolina, 13,482
Florida, 33,331
A table showing the number of men furnished to the arms by
each State during the war was made public today by the War Department.
New York led with 367,864 and Nevada stood last with 5,105
in the total of 3,757,624 men obtained by draft, voluntary enlistment, or
through the National Guard.
Men actually furnished ran very closely, the table shows, to
the obligation of the States making their quotas proportionate to their
populations.
