ton, March Announces.
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The deba-
Gle of Germany's allies is being
pressed to completion, General March
said today, and the events of the past
week in the world war have resulted in
the concentration of enemy resistance
in one nation.
Resistance of the Germans on the
west front has continued and the
greatest allied advance has been reg
istered on the Italian front where
maximum progress of 81 miles has
been made. General March said the
object of the allies on this front was
the cutting of the Austrian line of
withdrawal
"This has been accomplished" he
added.
New Attack Progresses.
The new Franco-American attack on
both sides of the Argonne, already,
the chief of staff explained, has pro-
gressed to such an extent that a de-
cided pocket has been formed in the
German lines indicating the necessity
of an early withdrawal from the north
ern portion of the Argonne forest.
This would bring the American forces
with their heaviest artillery nearer
the main German railway line through
Stenay.
General March identified the Amer
lean forces in Italy as the 332 infan-
try regiment, with ambulance battal-
ions 5, 6, II, II and 13, field hospital
102.
In addition there are certain air SER
vice training units.
General March announced that in
fluenza conditions among troops ar
irving in France have improved so
materially that death from the disease
PRACTICAL have stopped.
