iment of the 33rd United States diyis
ion was the American unit which took
part in the Franco-British- American Of
fcnsive in Picardy, General March
chief of staff, announced today in hii
conference with correspondents.
March stated that there are now 81
complete American divisions in France
He said the other day that each Amer
jcah division has between 10000 and
$4,000. men, which would bring the to
tdi organized forces up to nearly 400,
001 men in France today.
This regiment illinois troops Oper-
ating near Chipilli, captured three Off
GERS, $50 men and seven l0j millimeter
guns from the Germans. The conduct Of
the American troops, March said, won
the highest praise from the allies.
New Picardy Battle Front
He said that the Picardy salient has
now been reduced on front of fifty
three miles to depth Of ii miles. This
makes the nearest point in the Germa /.
line 80 miles from Paris.
Ane British aad French offensive has
now driven the Germans back to the
tine they held in the winter of 1916 in
the region of Santerre, March said. The
fact that the Germans found there this
entertainments they left in their ad-
vance probably accounts for the stiff
resistance the allies are meeting on that
front, he added.
At some points the old line of 1915
has not yet been reached by the allies

Marne saiient is practically as it was
last Saturday. lie declared an AmorieaQ

specific information on the use of air
craft in fighting. March stated tina,
Pershing's S dispatches do not indicate
any shortage of aeroplanes on the Am

He made this statement in reply to re
ports that the Americans are at a dis
advantage because of a lack of ail'
craft.
Don't Call Them "Sammies'
March appealed for the elimination OF
the word Sammy" with respect to Ar

thing the United States soldiers did
not like, it is to be called Sammy. Ht

CHARLES n. REED
Publisher

After many years of successful and
honorable existence. the Saginaw Post
Zeitung. published in German, has sus-
pended, because local sentiment among
the business firms of Saginaw was
against farther publication in the Ger
man language. We have much sym.
paththy for the publishers, because
their record for patriotic devotion can
not be questioned and because they
have published newspaper that has
always stood for loyalty to freedom
and American institutions. During the
last year the influence of this paper has
been particularly valuable. and its
publishers will have the consolation of
knowing that it is not against them or
their kind that the adverse criticism
which resulted in the suspension of
their paper is directed. 1t is against
others whose vision, unlike theirs, has
failed to comprehend the blessings that
flow from republican government and
the true import of the struggle now in
progress, whose attachment has been
to a name rather than to an ideal. If
we mistake not Mr.. j. Seemann, one of
the proprietors of the Post-Zeitung,
was brave soldier of the republic dur
ing the Civil War. He is still loyal
and devoted citizen, as his editorial val
edictory discloses, suffering under cir
cumstances which he cannot avert, and
we congratulate him upon the patience
and good sense he has exhibited during
the continuance of his trials. We have
many thousands of splendid citizens of
German birth in this country, and while
we approve every step necessary for
the success of our government in the
war, we should be humiliated beyond
power of expression should these people
be subjected to insult or unjust treat
ment. AS a people, considering our
mixed elements, we need to exercise
great steadiness as we'll as great devo.
tion and courage during the tragic
struggle in which we are now engaged.
