Division, Embracing
Old First and Sec

AMERICA. HAS SENT s5
OVER 1,soo,o 1000 SOLDIERS
Nearly Three Hundred thousand
Sent to France During Month Of,
August-Location of, Various z;
Units Under Gen. Pershing +
Given Out by Chief of Staff, I

Washington, Sept. General
March announced today that the tor
tai embarkation of American soldiers /
for all fronts, including the Siberian
expedition, had passed the 1900, 200;
mark by August 81. !.
The chief of staff identified the
American unit which participated
in the Flanders advance as the Thir-
tieth Division, composed of troops Z
from Tennessee, North and South \
Carolina. This is the "Old Hickory
division. In answer to a question
General March said it was estimated
that more than 250,0OO had landed
in France during August. The rec-g
ord for monthly shipment, he added
was 2s5,e00. - ,.. ..,tf s.e5
Taking up the military situation,
General March said the object Of the
Canadian drive across the old Queant-
Drocourt switch line was Cambria,
which was now within seven and q
half miles of the British advance, ac-
cording to official advices. .Ips the
action east Of Arras, General Marehs
said, the British had crossed the so-,5l
called Hindenburg line on the eight
mile front. He added that the maxi
mum advance of the British since the
drive in Pacardy and extended north
ward was IA miles.
On the northern front, General
March said, the enemy was retiring
without very severe pressure brought
upon him and the Flanders salient
already had been virtually blotted
out.
The chief of staff pointed out that
the main resistance to the allied adj
vance all along the line had been en-, !,
countered by the British on the
Scarpe sector. The rapid French ad-; !;
vance south of that sector, he added,
was largely due to British successes
in overcoming this resistance. This
was shown clearly when the French
advanced between six and ten miles
on twenty-five mile front in one day
south of the Somme.
General March did not know who
had been assigned by General PERISH
ing to command the Thirtieth Diyi-
sion, which went over under Maj.
Gen. George W. Reid, who had since
been assigned to command the Fourth
Army Corps. "a
