one-half, or more than l,450,000 over.
seas for service against the enemy in
France, Italy and Siberia
These figures were given today by
General March in his Saturday, talks
with newspaper men and members OF
the senate military committee. The
senators were told that some trans
ports. are making the trip to Europe
and back in 19 days, and that the
average has been reduced to 28 days,
which, with, additional shipping be-
coming available, makes the great job
of getting 80 divisions of American
troops to France by June 80 1919, GER
tain Of success.
The chief of staff paid only brief
attention to the progress of the fight
ing in France. He spoke Of the battle
as the German retreat" and indi-
Gated further retirement was expected
Figures Cover All Areas of Action.
Explaining his announcement as to
embarkation, General March said:
when / give figures hereafter of
troops embarked from the United
States the totals will embrace the
troops in Siberiasin in Italy, France and
Russia proper. The figures will mean
the entire American expeditionary
force in all parts of the world. We
have now embarked on all the expe-
ditions more than 1,450,000 men.
The American troops in France are
beginning to receive official French
Communications of various sorts. and
here is one that came this morning.
This refers to the second artillery
brigade which was with the second
division in the fighting around Cha
teau Thierry. After the infantry was
withdrawn our field artillery stayed
there and helped the French at that
point. This commentator is from
the French commander of the division
to which it was attached. 1t is in the
form of an official order and the trans
lation is something like this:
General Bowley Thanked.
"On the eve of the relief of the
second artillery brigade of the second
United States infantry division from
the 18th (French infantry division
the general commanding this infantry
division takes the opportunity to ex-
press to the brigade commander, Gen.
eral Bowley, to all his officers, non
commissioned officers and soldiers, his
thanks for the services rendered their
French comrades and his admiration
for the splendid American bravery.
"'After having vigorously fought
with the second United States infantry
division and with the 58th (French)
infantry division the Second American
artillery brigade come to show, dur
ing two days Of severe fighting at the
side of the 18th infantry division, the
finest qualities Of energy, endurance
and devotion.
"'The fortunes of war separate US
from these brave and loyal fighting
comrades-1 trust that the fortunes of
war will lreunite us again upon the
field of battle.
"'The 18th French infantry division |

American airmen to this city. Capt
c. D. Hunter, Canadian, who was
shot down by Baron Richthofen, the

Carranza Takes Steps

Dispute With the u. S

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE threat

with the entente allies and the United

provisions of the decree Of July 81
under which undeveloped oil lands
might be seized by the Mexican gov

what they regarded as excessive tax

P0|NCARE TAKES
PART IN MIMIC
WAR ON U.b0A7
Chase Would Have Ended In
Disaster for Submarine if
1t Had Been a German
! Vessel.

Paris, Aug. 17.-President Poin-
care and Georges Leygues, minister
of marine, returned to Paris today
after visit of two days at French
port, where the inspected the Fran
co-American naval bases and were
enabled to obtain a first hand view
of the cooperation of the two navies
in combating German submarines.
Immediately after their arrival there
report was received. that an enemy
submarine had just been sunk by a
French patrol, while it was confirmed
at the same time that another sub
marine had been destroyed by an
American patrol few days before.
President Poincare made minute
inspection of the various American
installations at the port, being espe-
cially interested in the hydro-airplane
station.
While the two officials were at the
port convoy was signaled coming in
and the president embarked on a war
vessel and went out to observe the
arrangements made for the protection
of ships.
A drigible- balloon, hydro-airplanes
and rapid destroyers co-operated per-
fectly in preventing any submarine at
tack which might have been made.
The convoy came into the harbor
with each vessel keeping in perfect
line until the anchorage was reached.
After this, President Poincare went
on board destroyer and participated
in the chase of an allied submarine
somewhere below the surface. The
chase lasted for an hour and if the
submarine had been German, the pur-
Suit would have ended disastrously
for it.
The visit of the officials was ex-
tended to the American depots, which
have completely transformed the port.
A report was handed the president
showing that a convoy which re-
Gently arrived from America dis
charged 10000 tons Of materials in
ten hours, thanks to the efficiency of
the American arrangements.
Admiral Wilson received President
Poincare on board repair ship,
where medallion bearing the inscrip.
ton "Commemorating the union of
France and America" was presented |
to the president Later President
Poincare examined the new type of |
destroyer and reviewed |

IREMEN KNIT.
FOR BOYS At
THEFRONT
by United rPess)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-It's a long
-ime between fires. So the firemen
init for the Red Cross. They're do
mg it all over the country, the Red
Fross told the United Press today.
Sister Susie and her we'll known
l'abit of sewing shirts for soldiers has
Been outclassed. The firemen are
lfabricating fragments of fabric for
fighters.
{ Chess, checkers, cards and newspa-
pers pail in time. The substitution
OF motors for horses in many city fire
departments has even relieved the
firemen of the task of currying and
feeding the horses.
So the firemen knit.
One of the first experiments in hav-
ing firemen knit was in Rochester, N.
Y, where George Eastman, the kodak
man and a prominent worker in the
Rochester Red Cross chapter, hit upon
the idea of enlisting firemen in Red
Cross work.
Knitting machines were provided
and the men now have competition as
to the length of time required to make
a sock, and also the quantity that can
be turned out in a day. The firemen
are very glad to have something to
do in their leisure time and are pro
dUcing large number of socks.
The possibility of utilizing the leis
ure time of the thousands of firemen
throughout the country has been sug,
