Gen. March Tells
 of Division Across

(Continued From Page One) dispatches this morning, Gen. March declined to comment on this new Al lied thrust. He said, describing the period that had elapsed since his lat est talk, that the Allies had continued their attacks on limited fronts and at widely separated points.
 In Flanders, he pointed out, the points of the salient which had ex- isted there have been bent in by AL lied attacks southeast of Meteren on the north flank and near Merville on the south. The apex was thus made unhealthy for the enemy and he was forced to withdraw for from one to two miles on a 14 mile front.
 On the plains near the Disc the AL lied advance has put the line well back of the old 1916-17 line
 Gen. March said the war depart ment had not yet received details of the capture of Frapelle, in the Vosges, by the Fifth United States division (regulars). The line at this point is four miles over the German border.
 In commenting on the shipping sit uation Gen. March divulged for the first time the fact that Brazil had given a ship to the United States without compensation of any sore for two trips. He said that so far as he knew this was the only case of the kind on record.

WIPES CLAIM FOR EXEMPTION KEEPS
 HUSBAND HOME:

Rollo B. Spaulding, g. of 253 West avenue, who was arrested yesterday by Detective Sergeant Bray and De- tective Burns, charged with breach of the peace, was before the City Court today and his case continued until Saturday by Judge Wilder.
 According to information given out by the police in the case, it appears that Spaulding has been separated from his young wife for some time. When his wife was about to become a mother they lived together again but, according to his wife, he continually abused her and wished she would die so that he could marry ''Maudie,' D who appears to be the other woman in the eternal triangle.
 Another angle of the case Is that of his exemption from the draft on account of being married. He ex- presses a great desire to go in the army. but his wife claims that he is her sole support, and 1t was upon this ground apparently that he has been exempted. The matter will come up for further hearing Saturday when the matter will be finally settled.
