LONDON, J uly 3.-Secretary s. of War
Bakers letter to President Wilson. an
nounclng that more than a million
American soldiers had left the United
States for France. was published in
London newspapers under great head
lines. The statement was featured in
connection with the success of the
American troops in capturing the town
of VauX, on the Marne front.
The figures came as great surprise,
for although it was known that many
Americans were arriving at British
ports weekly, few realized that the mill
ion mark had been exceeded

Secretary Baker also are printed in

papers devote a leading article to the
achievement "Thc Westminster Ga
zette" says:
"The figures will be as grateful a
surprise to our own people as they will
be a painful shatterng of the German
Illusions"
The newspaper considers the success
fui moving of this large body Of men
across the Atlantic to be proof that
the u-boat has absolutely failed in its
endeavor to prevent the coming of the
Americans, especially as, despite the
strain on shipping, supplies for the
civilian population have been main

they regained possession of few po-

The British carried out several sue

them-one to the north of Merris. on

turkey To Be Asked
Again for Explanation
Failed to Answer u. S. Note
About Tabriz, Persia,
Incident
tSpccial Dispatch TO The Tribune

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Turkey has
failed to answer the demand Of the
State Department for an explanation of
the Tabrz, Persia, incident. and it was
believed to-day that reminder Of the
inquiry would be dispatched to Con-
stantinople early next week, if in the
meantime no response from the Porte
las been received.
1t was said at the State Department
this afternoon that the note to Turkey
was not in the form of an ultimatum.
1t was made plain to the Ottoman gov
ernment, however, that the United
States takes a most serious view Of the
attack upon the American hospital and
the seizure Of the American consulate
at Tabriz by Turkish troops.

ROME, July 3.-Twenty- wounded
American soldiers arrived here to-day
in charge Of Captain Roda, Of the
Italian army. There was great en-
thusiasm in the crowd at the station
when the Americans arrived.
The wounded men are guests Of the
Italian government and arc being
housed at the Grenadiers' Barracks.
The above would seem to show that
Americans are already in action on
the Italian front, unless the men have
been sent to recuperatc from the
French front

failed to perform the task intrusted
to them.
The number Of prisoners taken
by the Americans in the operations
near Chateau Thierry was increased
to-day without the American infan
try operating except as skirmishers.
The enemy artillery this after
noon increased the intensity of it's
fire. The crash of exploding shells
swelled to roar, while the ground
and air throbbed with the concus-
sions of shells. But the American
guns answered the German chal
lenge, shot for shot.
The American gunners, stripped
to the waist, stood in the gun pits
and on gun emplacements, feeding
shells into the guns as fast as they
could handle them, and a steady
stream of steel explosives swept
through space on to the enemy lines.
At o'clock this evening the gun
fire showed no signs of abating, the
enemy artillery work, if anything,
evidencing more ferocity than ever.
Further Attacks Expected
The American aviators, keeping
vigil over the fighting zone, found
the ground completely obscured at
places by the smoke of guns and
shells.
From the general conditions along
the battleline it appears that fur
ther attacks by the Germans are
likely to develop The Americans.
however, are just as ready for what
is coming as they were for what has
passed, and are just as confident as

Among the captured material thus
far counted are six heavy machine
guns, eighteen light machine guns,
six trench mortars, two grenade
throwers, 200 rifles, one motorcycle
machine gun and large quantities of
ammunition and equipment.
