OVER 8OO,OOO U.S
 TROOPS IN FRANCE Number Being Sent Limited Ouly
 by Transportation Facilities STATEMENT BY GEN. MARCH
Figures Based on Combatant and Nom -Combatant Branchcs--Impor- portancc of Rushing Forces Elm phasizcd--Two Objects in Drive.

Washington. June 15.-American troops scnt to France now number more than SO0,0O0 Gen. March, chief of staff, announced today.
 The number of troops now being transported, he said, is limited only by the capacity of the ships avail able to carry them. And we will continue to ship them along this line" he added.
 The S00,OOO figure includes all branches of the service necessary to make up a complete army, both com blatant and -combatant units, Gen. March said. All war department figures regarding troops sent across will be given out on this basis.
 Must Hurry Greater Force.
 Gen. March said that the four German drives so far made were "all part of a common scheme of offen- sive." Up to this time, he added, the extension of the Allied front from Rheims to the sea had reached to 66 miles. To hold that line, he said, additional troops were necessary and the importance of getting American troops over quickly became para mount.
 Gen. March said that the obvious obective of the German advance is first, the channel ports, the capture of which would make it necessary for England, in shipping troops, to go farther up the sea, slowing up and making transportation more danger ous, and second, Paris, which is of great strategic importance as well as of importance to tho people of France"
 The chief of staff viewed the pres ent offensive more as an endeavor to straighten out the German line, rather than an advance with a deti- nte object like Paris The salient between the Disc and the Aisne offen- sives, he describes as a re-entrant angle.'

SKILLED WORkMEN IN CAMPS COMING HOME Several Thousand to Be Returned to War
 Industries.

Washington, June 15.-Selective service has failed to fulfil it's origi- nal purpose of keeping at their work skilled men engaged on government contracts, Darragh Delancey, of the war department told the national war labor board conference. Patriotic but misplaced zeal," has led many essen tial men to volunteer for army ser vice he said, and "error in patriot ism have been committed by many draft boards which should grant de- ferred classification to all skilled workmen necessary to production of war materials.
 Indefinite furloughs have been giv- en several hundred trained men in the army in the last month, accord ing to MT. Delancey, and several thousand others will be sent home within the next few weeks to prevent delay in war contracts due to lack of skilled labor.

First Sea Lord Confident Germany Will Not Attempt to Blockade Our Atlantic Coast.
Made by Enemy Airnncn to Shoot Down Trailing Machines But American Fire Is Too Hot-Ihird Hostile Aviator Brought Down Over Foul Eront-BrOoklinc Man Credit cd With 13 Victories.

London, June 15. (By the Associ- ated Press ~-German submarine acti- vity off the Atlantic coast of the United States should not be taken very seriously as the Germans pro- bably will not attempt a blockade of the American shores. This is the opinion of Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first sea lord of the British admirality. He believes that there is only one submarine operating off the American coast and that the purpose of it's trip across the Atlantic was to frighten the Americans.
 This submarine business will not have any effect on q transport move- ment, which, judged from the stand point of a seaman, has no parallel in history. A year ago the enemy was boasting that this submarine would prevent American troops being moved to Europe.
 II do not know whether that state ment was ever believed in Germany or whether 1t was merely put out in the belief that it would make the Americans nervous, but which ever it was, neither the threats nor the per formances of the IJ-Boats have af- fected the movement.
 That is a very remarka ble fact which, judgig by the German news
 papers, is producing a great impress
 sion in Germny. Not so long ago the
 falling off in sinl1ings of tonnage was
 explained by the enemy as being due to the fact there are few steamships
 to attack.
 And now in the face of that state
 ment American troops are coming across the Atlantic week by week by tens of touSands and moving up to the firing line. At the same time war supplies in grat variety are being | brought across the Atlntic with com 1 paratively small losses and the food situation in the British Isles is moro satisfactory today than it was a year ago. Tn spite of the submarines We hve got rid of queus. The people re contented and tn general situation so far as it is influenced by the naval effort has improved although tho | enemy is making his maximum att tack on evedy ship afioat, British, all lied and neutral.
 "Those results have been achieved by adherence to the only sound strate-
 gic- principle concentration of effort" In concluding he said: 1T see 1t is reported that American coast-bound traffic will be conveyed. If that be the | case the same principle will be adopted as has proved successful dur l ing the past year Or SO. but this would l be quite a secondary effort. l imagine. since, according to the statement made by the naval secretary in Wash incton the American naval authorities l arc convined that if the submarine is to be mastered 1t must be mastered in the narrow seas.
 American resources are developine l rapidly and the two policies, I hop may not prove incompatible, namely,
