London, Aug. 16.-Measured by the number of machines engaged the intensity of the fighting and the mag nitude of the losses inflicted on the enemy. the fighting in the air during the past week was the most formid- ble of the war.
 Some of the most severe conflicts occurred on August in the sector between Albert and the Amiens- Rove road where the German air forces were increased considerably soon aft CT the opening of the Allied offensive. The air fighting resulted in the de- struction of AS enemy machines, while Y others were driven down out of control. Fifty British machines did not return.
 During the six succeeding days 185 enemy airships were destroyed and S9 driven down out of control, mak- ing total of 339 German machines for the week compared to 123 British airships missing.
 In the same period British bomb ing squadrons continually attacked enemy airdromes, railways and other military objectives, dropping more than 32O tons of bombs and causing great damage. Low flying scout ma chimes raked the enemys congested roads of retreat with machine gun fire, inflicting many casualties.
 A notable feature of the aerial operations was the virtually contin- uous night and day bombing of the enemy bridges over the Somme. This greatly hampered the supply and re- infOrCement of the German troops. The weeks work also included number of destructive raids into Ger many.

Speaking of the American program, l General March said it is proposed to ] put so divisions into France by June 30, 1919, if it is possible to do so as shown in the senate military commit tee report on the man-power bill.

General March said the losses of the 10th regiment (Pennsylvania troops, of the 28th diviSiOn) probably were propor- tional to the heavy fighting in which that division had been engaged. Ha gave no figures but pointed out that the 28th division has held the Ameri- can center during the crossing of the OurCQ and again was in line along the Nesle where further sharp fighting had occurred. On the Nes1o front, where the American troops are in line, onlyl artillery fine and raids have been re- ported General March said. He read a French divisional order paying high tribute to the valor and efficiency of the Second artillery brigade of the Second American division, which aided the Twelfth French infantry in two days of fierce fighting at Chateau 
 As to the location of other divisions General March said the 18th division (Pennsylvania and Virginia troops) was training with the British in Flanders; that the S8th (North Dako- ta, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois troops) was in process of embarkation and that the &2nd (Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee troops) was in line north of Foul, where it arrived early in July.
