Foch Strikes at Line Which Feeds
Chateau Thierry Foes-Penetrate
10 MiIes-Gain Extends Over
Front of 22 Miles.

Washington high water mark
of the German offensive in France has
been reached. The initiative is pass
ing to the allied and American armies.
General March, chief of staff, told this
to members of the senate military COM
mittee. Later he announced that the
American troop shipments had now ex-
ceeded 1900, 900 men, insuring the
manpower to hold the initiative on the
western front
The direct objective of General
Foch's counter stroke, General March
told newspaper men in his weekly con-
ference, is the railway that feeds the
German forces in the Chateau Thierry
region. Already it had been attained,
for the French and American forces
are either astride the line at certain
points or have it under direct gunfire
at short range, rendering it unusable.
Even as General March spoke, I'M
official reports flashed over the ca
bles indicated the German withdrawal
from the sector south of the Marine
had begun.
Six u. S. Divisions Fight.
The American chief of staff told
with evident satisfaction of the fact
that six American divisions are bat
Ting with the French and for the
first time revealed their identity They
either are on the advancing lines be-
tween scissors and Chateau Thierry
or on those that are pressing the enc
my along the Marine front. where there
is reason to believe the Germans may
suffer serious losses in men and mate
rial before they reach safety Still
another division of Americans is with
General Gouraud, the French leader
who commands east of Rheims, where
the enemy assault hit against a stone
wall defense.
General March's explanation of the
disposition of the American forces in
dicated that at least 10000 American
fightin gtroops are in the battle, and
probably the total force is nearer $780,
600 than 100000. Each division has a
fighting strength of $4,000 men and
each of the two detached negro regi-
ments strength of 5000. The full
strength of each division with auxil
iary units is 5000 men,
