SO0,0OO US. TROOPS ACROSS SAYS GEN, MARCH
 
And More Being Sent As Fast as Ships Can be
 Obtained.

Washington, June 15.-American troops sent to France now number more than S00,000. General March, chief of staff announced today.
 The number of troops now being transported, General March said, is limited only by the capacity Of the ships available to carry them. And we will continue to ship them along this line," he added.
 The 800,000 figures includes all branches of the service necessary to make up a complete army, both conn batant and non-combatant units, Gen eral March said. All war department figures regarding troops sent across will be given out on this basis.
 General March said that the four German drives so far made were "all part of a. common scheme of offen- sive." Up to this time, he added. the extension of the allied front from Rheims to the sea had reached to 66 miles. To hold the added line, he said, additional troops were necess- .'ary and the importance of getting American troops over quickly be- came paramount.
 General March said that "the ob' Wious objective of the Gern1an ad- vances is, first, the channel ports, the capture Of which would make it necessary for England, in shipping troops, to go further up the sea, slow ing up and making the transporta- ton more dangerous; and. second, Paris, which is of great stragetic i'm. portance as we'll of impor orance to the people of France"
