 in France

Washington, November 5. Capture of Maubeuge by the British, General March said to- day, marks the definite sever ance of the last German artery to that sector of the west front, and will make 1t impossible for the enemy to shift his forces to meet a new attack.
 Summarizing the allied successes since the inauguration of the forward movement General March pointed out that the Germans have been driven 64 miles further from Paris and the terri tory they occupied in France has been reduced from 10000 square miles to less than 2500.
 The American First army, under Gen. eral Pershing. has advanced 30 miles in the last eight days.

 American divisions operating with the British in Flanders were identified as the Thirty seventh (Ohio), under Maj. Gen. C. S. Farnsworth, And the Ninety first (Pacifc and northwestern states and Alaskan troopsl under Maj. Gen. W. M Johnson. Replying to questions concerning individual units, General March said the 351st aero squadron was at an artillery observing school in France; the 346th machine gun battalion was attached to the Ninety first division Sn Flanders; the 30Sd field artillery bri- gade was at Clermount-sur-Aisne at last reports; the 364th field artillery brigade. originally with the Eighty ninth division, has been in action in Flanders; the F'prty-first division (Pa- cific coast, Montana, Idaho and Wyom ing) still is acting as replacement unit, and the Thirty-eighrh division tKentucky and West virginia) has not been reported since October l3, when it was in action west of the Mouse.
 COMMANDING GENERALS
 In connection with the reorganization of the American expeditionary forces. which also caused some changes in corps commanders, General March gave the names of generals commanding di- visions at the front. They are:
 First, Parker; Second, Lejeune, United States Marine corps; Third, Brown; Fourth, Hersey; Fifth, Ely; Sixth, Cor don; Seventh, Wittenmyer; Twenty sixth, Bamford; Twenty seventh, ORyan; Twenty-eighth, Tay, Twenty ninth, Morton; Thirtieth Lewis; Thirty first, Lyon; Thirty second, not reported; ; Thirty-third, Bell Jr.; Thirty fourth, not reported; Thirtyf fifth, Traub Thir- ty-sixth, Smith; Thirty y-seventh, Earns worth; Thirty eighth, Towze; Thirty ninth, Hodges; Fortieth, Strong; Forty first, not reported; Forty-second,
