The second portion, at right, notes "More proof that Pennsylvania's losses in the war were heavier than those of other states is daily coming from the War Department. This state has maintained an average of about one-tenth of the casualties for the American expeditionary forces. In the official casualty report today more than one-sixth of the men whose names appear on the list for the nation are from this state, there being 404 for the country and sixty for Pennsylvania in the report."
