ALMOST MILLION
MEN IN FRANCE
AMERICA NOW HAS 900, 900 MEN
ACROSS WATER OR ON BOARD
TRANSPORTS.
War Department Five Months Ahead
Of Program, Announces General
March, 200, 900 Men Having EN-
barked In Last Two Weeks

Washington.-Gene March, chief
of staff, announced on June 22 that
American troop movement to France
has now exceeded 100000 men, and
that more men are being sent every
day.
General March told the newspaper
Een In his weekly conference that,
with the 100000 mark passed, the
United States is five months In ad-
vance Of its schedule for troop move
ments~ At the same time he briefly
outlined the battle position In France
and Italy, and drew the conclusion
that the enemy was being held firmly
on all fronts, though further great
blows are to be expected.
The chief of staff's statements fur
nished the first authoritative informa-
ton as to progress made in the tremen-
dous exertion the government has been
making to meet the challenge Of the
German drive on the west. When the
first blow was struck on the Vambrai-
St Quentin line March 21, troop ship
ment were behind schedule. Today
they are five month ahead.
The speed with which the army Is
being moved to the front Is sharply In
dicated by the fact that approximately
1000 men have been embarked dur
ing the last two weeks. The total move
ment during May was not more than
100000. 1t was only two weeks ago
that Secretary Baker announced that
more than 100000 had been shipped; q
week later, at the first of his confer
ences with the newspaper men, General
March said the 8QOOOO mark had been
passed, and Saturday he placed the fig
ure at more than 100000.
On this showing the million mari
will soon be reached.

heard like loud suction, the

The Rexall Store was only able
to save part of their stock in the
basement and estimates their
loss around $4,000. The Tog-
gerry worked hard in trying to
save their stock aud their loss is
estimated at around 5000. The
Orpheum estimates their damage
to films, chars, etc. at $500

PARIS, June-(COrrespOndence of The Associated Press)-ThOusand of miles from their maternal hearth, the American dead; heroes of the second battle of the Marne who have sue cumbed from grievCus wounds in Par is hospitals, are mourned daily by French mothers, fathers or sisters who have felt the sorrow of the kindred of these heroes.
 Daily, the funerals leave the city hospitals for the little cemetery dedi- cated to Americans by the city of Sur esnes, located on a hill to the west of Paris overlooking the capital. Daily, the Republican Guard in their pictur- esque and historic military attire, marches forth to the funeral to be- stow Frances regard upon these Am ericans. American Marines act as the guard of honor and though no volley is fired because it is forbidden by the French authorities, the American bug Ter sounds taps"
 A service is first held in the little chapel in the hospital Protestant chaplains officiating over the dead of their faith and Catholic priests over theirs. The hospital organization such as can be spared including nurses, or derlies, clerks, doctors, attend the ser vices.
 The bodies are borne from the chap el to ponderous army motor trucks. As each body is brought to the con- veyance, the Republican Guard and the Marines execute present arms. " When all the dead have been placed upon their military bier, the process ion to the cemetery starts. At the head are the chaplains in motor cars. Then follow the motor trucks and last the guard of honor
 The collins are draped with Ameri- can flags Each one bears two wreatns one given by the Republic of France and another by the City of Paris. Fri color ribbons bind the wreaths. In letters of geld, the ribbons are marked Aux Defenseurs de Ia Patrie."
 The little procession winds its ways along the bOuleyards. The French know its significance. Without eXcep- tiOn, as it passes, every pedestrian stops, UncOvers and bows in homage to the American heroes.
 Reaching the summit of the hill or Suresnes, the interment of the bodies begins. A crowd of French mothers and sisters gather at the graves. They revercntly listen to the chaplains pro- nouncing the last words, and heavy of
