President Wilson is determined to

Washington, June 22.-The United

We are five months ahead of our reg

These two important facts were an.

As for the general war situation, he
declared he can say again that the cen

the nation must expect renewal of the

ision is doing very well.
AS for the Italian situation, the gen
cral held that, considering it a part of
tie whole western game, the Teutons
were again held.
The Austrians, he pointed out, had
gained at three substantial places
enough to give concern to the allies
The Austrian advance has been offset
by floods which had carried out the
entire Austrian bridge system.
Seven temporary bridges have been
built since then.
The western front battling during
the week was deemed of minor char.
acter without important military ef
fects. The Germans are reS:;ting com

NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND
AMERICAN TROOPS HAVE
CROSSED OCEAN TO DATE

OF the 100000 men in France, 10000
are marines, March revealed.
The Italian battle front before the
drive was 200 miles long. The drive
eentered over comparatively small
portion of this, and the greatest ad-
vance was Az miles in the direction of
Venice, putting the Austrians l3 miles
away from the canal city.
Along the French front the action of
the last week consisted mainly of raids.
The lull there is advantageous for the
allies because it permits them to re-
plenish their man power. America is ad-
ding much to this line. Its 100000
troops include those in France and on
tho high seas, .combatants and non-com-
batants.
Without revealing specific figures as
to the original plans, General March
said it was permissible to announce that
we are now five months ahead Of sched-
