newspaper correspondents yesterday.
The throwing back Of the Germans
to this point, in the opinion Of mill
tary experts here. means that the
possibility of reaching the French
capital has been lost to the invaders
forever.
In detail. Gen. March's statement
reveals that the Kaiser's hordes have
retreated fifteen miles before the al
lied drives.
Officers OF the general staff take
great pride in the fact that this sit
uation was brought about with the
assistance of American troops, includ-
ing the gallant Marines.

said Gen. March, advancing last Sat

miles.
Discussing the British and French
advance north of the Avre. the chief
of staff said resistance was encoun-
tered near the line held by the Ger
mans in 1861 before they Withdrew
to the so-called Hindenburg de-
fensive line.
There the enemy probably found
ready for them the same old trenches
they had before"
Allied tanks, cavalry and arruored

several points, but the line itself came
to rest about the old 1861 line.
First U. s. Army Organised.
Organization OF the first America Il

by Gen March. He said Gen. Eersh-
ing had assumed personal Command
of the field army, and had taken with
him his entire general headquarters

troops could be transported to France
more American field armies would be
formed. Before the American forces

MAKE BIG SHIPS
OF FEW TYPES,
FUTUREPOLICY
Better Speed to Be Made
by Following Identical
Processes.

The United States is building too
many kinds of ships. Shipbuilding
in the widest sense is to be
standardized. and as few types as
possible built hereafter. They are
to be large ones.
This was the decision of Charles
NJ. schwab, director general Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. fol-
lowing his conference yesterday
with the War Council at the White
House.
The new policy was decided on
as a result of a discussion of the
military program with special refer
cnce TO shipbuilding.
The Standardization, when fully
effected, is expected to result in
not only the saving of many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars,
through economies in designing. but
in a greater speeding up of the en-
tire government ship manufacture,
through economies of method.
simplitications and the increased
efficiency that comes from repetf-
ton of indentical processes of
fabrication and of construction.
News Committee Named.
Following the War Council meet
ing, a committee was named i'm
mediately to study the problem of
standardizing the ninety-one diff
ferent designs of ships now being
built. This committee is composed
of Director General Schwab, P. A
S. Franklin. of New York, chairman
of the Ship Control Committee. and
y. H. Rosseter, of San Francisco,
newly appointed Director of Opera
tions for the Shipping Board.
Mr.. Franklin will study the needs
of Standardization, in relation to the
military program. primarily, but
with reference also to American ma
rine commerce after the war, with
specitl attention to the passenger
ship factor in the program. Mr.:
Rosseter, who was vice president Of
the Pacific Mail, will report on the
shipping needs from the viewpoint
of the freight carriers, being ex-
pertIy conversant with freight
traffic from the Pacific Coast to
China, Australia and Pacific South
American ports. Mr.. Schwab will
deal with the matter from the
standpoint Of construction.
VIII Build Twenty Cargo ships.
As an intimation of the intention
to concentrate on really big ships,
it was announced also yesterday
that the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion would build twenty huge cargo
ships of the ore-carrier variety,
prototypes of which already have
been built, to accommodate thirty
five locomotives and $50 motor
trucks as a single cargo.
Preparation 70 rthe new changes
in the shipping program will be
made alta meeting Tuesday in Phila-
delphia of the Eastern shipbuilders,
called together by Mr.. Schwab to
impress on them what the Eastern
shipbuilder must do to carry out
the vast shipping program.
