Thursday night and that 5000 to
$500 more was expected. A final re-

i expected the county's quota TO
be oversubscribed, but / hardly ex-
pected IL to be doubled" said Mr..
Dahl. THE result is particularly
gratifying when it is considered that
the campaign is being confined to
persons OF the Lutheran faith, and
is only an indication OF the real

FIRST YANKEE UNIT
ISLANDED I'm ITALY
BY Associated Press.

Washington, ID. c., July THE
yesterday General March, chief Of
staff announced today. These are not
the force sent by General Pershing,
but consisted of units shipped from
this country.
The troops consist largely Of sani-
AIRY, but include other special organ-
nations, General March explained. On
the whole, however, it is made up
mostly of n-combatant units. The
-~colnbatant troops will be sent by Cen
eral Pershing as previously announced.
General March had nc announcement
to make today as to the total number
Of troops shipped from this country
to France. Formal announcement, he
said would be made later.
Situation Favorable.
Surveying the cntire battle front,
General March said the situation could
be said to be extremely favorable TO
the allies. He would make no COM
ment upon the indications Of an i'm
pending German attack.
The first national army division hag
taken up a sector at the front, General
March also announced. 1t is the 18th,
raised in New York, trained at Camp
Upton and originally commanded by
Maj. Gen. j. Franklin Bell. II was
taken across under Major General
Johnson.
Five American divisions which had
been brigaded with the British for
training have been returned to General
Pershing's command with training
completed.
One of these 1, the 35th d.vizion.
composed Of KarSas and Missouri
troops and was commanded by Maj,
Gen. William NJ. Wright, when 1t left
the United States.
General March disclosed that the o.
ficlal reports from the Italian from
,lace the number OF Auslrians captured
at $4,000 and a large amount Of war
material. The line Of the Pave has
been entirely restored by the Italians
and in some places has been slightly
advanced.
Why Austria Failed.
t4f"iarY opinion. General Li&rct
aid, found the Austrian attack faulty
because it was spread Over so large a
;ront as to make it impossible to carry
through successfully.
The Austrian disaster which followed
81 valuable to the allies, not only In a
military sense, by psychologically, the
chief Of staff said, because of It's slim
llating effect upon Italian morale. both
among the civil population n the
army.
The practical result In prisoners and
guns taken also was, or course, Valu-
able.
During the last week American
activities in France have been local in
character, but official reports show
that the Americans at all times and
places have more than held their own,
GENERAL March said. Fine examples of
individual bravery are coming in, he
said.
Commenting upon the return to Cen
eral iershing's command of the five
divisions brigaded with the British,
Gencrai March said 1T showed clearly
the success OF the plan for using all
facilities to give American units their
final polish. Ii would not have been
possible otherwise, he indicated, to
have secured so large Il trained force
under Pershing in 80 short a time.
