March pointed out that the German
lines now are sixty miles from the
| French capital at their nearest
point, as compared with forty miles
as late as July Is.
The enemy's retreat was forced
primarily, General March said, by
two operations. The first was that
of the British on the Arras- Peronne
front and the other was the advance
of the Franco-American troops
across the scissors plateau.
Hindcnburg Line Nearer
The Hlndenburg line now is only
ten miles away from the advancing
Allies at its farthest sector.
Official reports to the department
show that the Franco-Americans
had reached the Aisne on a ten-mile
front last night, while the French
and American troops farther north
were within ten miles of st. Quen-
tin. ..r.
General Pershing has sent to the
department a report of minor cas-
ualties hitherto unreported because
of their trivial character. They total
10000 cases up to August 20, most
of them being men who were SO
slightly wounded that they were re-
turned to the ranks within a few
days.
To Report Wounded Biweckly
In connection with this announce
ment, General March disclosed that
the new policy of the department
would be to have General PershinS
forward by courier twice a week
lists of all wounded. The complete
list will be made public from Wash
ington and casualty reports cabled
A ,.in hnn AffItD Dr.fa will
when the system is in effect. include
only dead and missing.
General March explained that
complete data in each case will be
included in the list of wounded, so
that relatives may be advised fully
as to the nature of the wounds.
Situation Better in Siberia
Summarizing reports received here
on the Siberian situation, the chief
of-staff said the Czecho- -Slovaks and
the Cossack-Japanese forces had
cleared the trans-Siberian railway
from Vladivostok to the river Volga.
He added that the general situation
now was more favorable.
Organization of three new divi-
sions has ben ordered, the Ninety
fifth, at Camp Sherman, Ohio;
Ninety sixth at Camp Wadsworth,

Yanks in Own Sectors
General March announced that
more than ninety per cent. of the
American forces in France already
have been included in the American
sectors.
/ American trops in Italy still are
in reserve sectors and have not TAX
en- part in any activities. Referring
to the location of American di-
visions in France, General March
said the Twenty composed
of New York troops, now had taken
it's place on the line in Flanders,
while the Ninety-second, composed
of negro troops from all sections,
had arrived in the Vosges.
Improvement in the transportation
| facilities continue to progress, Gen
eral March said. Further improve
ment in the airplane situation wa:
noted General March said 1,20(
airplanes have been delivered from
| the factories so far. Latest advice'
| indicate, he said, that 500 American
fighting planes now are in France.

In the Vosges, however, the firing
activity decreased.
The pilot and observer of a Ger

the French and fell within the

stand in his old position along the
Hindenburg line.
There is no doubt among observers
here that Marshal Foch has mapped
out plan by which he hopes to
prevent the enemy from settling into
his old lines and reverting again to
trench warfare.
The St. Mihiel salient, where the
German lines thrust forward beyond
Nerdun on the west, might offer d
chance for Foch's favorite pincer
tactics. some officers think. There
are indications that this front is
held by Americans with the excep-
ton of the defenses of Nerdun itself
and the lines southeast of that city.
If General Pershing should strike
suddenly toward Metz and meet with
any success Il is thought the enemy
might be forced to evacuate the
whole st. Mihiel bend and that the
pursuit of that retirement could be
expanded at will into action of
whatever scope Marshal Foch had
authorized.
