WASHINGTON, July 27.-With 5o,-

of American soldiers transported ov-
erseas during July is expected to reach
record of 100000, Secretary Baker
and General March, chief of staff, to-
day told members Of the Senate mill
tary committee
With the shipment of men last
week the total number of American
troops embarking for France was L.
25O,0O0.
Trained combatant American troops
from France have begun to arrive in
Italy, General March announced to-
day at his regular conference with
newspaper men. Neither the, num-
Der nor the place where they are to
be used has been communicated to
the War Department, the general said.
Two additional American army
corps have been organized in France,
General March announced. They are
the Fourth and Fifth, commanded by
Major Generals George W. Reed and
Omar Bundy, respectively.
United After Training
In announcing the formation of the
two new corps, General March ex-
planned that the divisions comprising
them and other corps were assigned
before leaving this country, to be
modified as corps when their train
ing had been completed.
With this understanding, he SAID.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE .AISNE-MARNE FRONT, July 27
The French and Americans have con-
tlnued their rapid advance to the
northeast and the Forest of Fere was
cleared of the enemy this afternoon
The Allied forces are losing contact
with the Germans.
The progress made by the Franco
American troops on the Aisne- -Marne
front is considered eminently satisfac-
tory by the commanders, and the fail
ure of the Germans to employ artillery
extensively has tended to confirm the
belief that their heavy guns on the
greater part of the field have been
moved far back, perhaps to a position
which may mark a new line.
While steady pressure is being main
tanned on the arc forming the bottom
of the sack, the Allies are determinedly
hammering the fanks where Won Boehm
and Won Eben have concentrated their
armies, returning blow for blow in the
hope that they can hold out until the
main body of the Germans can be with
drawn with minimum loss.

vation balloons, which usually mark
both lines. Occasionally both the AL
lies and the enemy attempted to use
planes, but these, in most cases, were
forced to descend on account of the
rain.
There is growing belief that the
enemy will make no effort to stand on
the Ardre River. Fere-en- -Tardenols,
and even Fille-en- -1ardcnos, directly
east, are already under heavy fire from
the hanks and the south lines, making
the roads, as we'll as the temporary
railroads, virtually useless for trans
port purposes. These positions mus.
be almost untenable.
The Germans are doing their utmost
to hold the high ground southeast of
scissors for continuation Of their
line either along the Ardrc or further
north along the Vesle.

left home some time before his father
was killed and that he went direct to
Aurora to call on a girl friend and
was with her when news reached him
that his father had been assassinated.
He has been at liberty under bond
since his preliminary hearing.
Wilkes, who was well to do, was
killed as he stood before window in
