This territory, formerly indefinitely
leased to Germany by China was
taken by japan after spectacular
siege that began with her entry into

WASHINGTON, Nov. S<American
forces on the Sedan front advanced
thirty miles in eight days. General
March, said today in his weekly con-
ference with correspondents. In a
brief summary OF the military stu
alton, he said the Germans now have
been deprived of all railway lines par
allel to their front. They hold only
lines radiating toward the fronts
which makes the shifting of troops
difficult.
The American advance severed the
valenciennes-Metz railway at Sedan.
The allied advances have pushed the
German front from a point thirty six
miles from Paris to more than 100
miles away and have reduced German
occupation OF French territory from
10000 square miles last July to $500
square miles today.
General March stated that the or
ganization of American forces into
armies has necessitated changes In
CORPS commanders. The corps are now
commanded by the following officers:
First. Major General Dicman; Sec.
ond, Major General Reed; Third, Ma
jor General Hines; Fourth. Major
