DANGER OF ANY
MAN SHORTAGE
NO TROUBLE TO KEEP AMERi-
CAN ARMIES UP, SAYS GEN.
MARCH, WHO ALSO REVEALS
FIGURES ON ENEMY LOSSES.

Washington, Aug. 3.-There is M
present danger OF shortage in man
power to keep the American argnies
filled up, members of the senate snili-
4 tary committee were told today during
their weekly conference with Genera
March. chief of staff, at the war depart
ment.
The number OF American divisions ac-
lively engaged has been increased to
eight, now including the first, second
! third and fourth regulars, and the Goth
2Sth., 32nd., and 42nd., National guard.
General March announced that it was
the 42nd. division which met and de-
feated the Prussian guards during the
present week.
General Pershing, as result OF re-
cent transfers of American divisions.
which had been brigaded with the
British, now has 100000 men under his
direct command, the chief of staff
stated.
Total embarkation of American lroofs
during July broke all records, it was
announced more than 100000 men hav-
ing been shipped.
In discussing the lighting, General
March pointed out that official dis
patches covering the battle OF August
2nd. showed the present front running
practically parallel to the Vesle and
Ardre valleys, the next defensive line
OF the enemy. At that time the adj
vancing forces Nere within six miles
OF this line. Later dispatches. however,
have indicated that the Vesle-Ardre line
may have been turned already.
The objective OF the American and
allied armies still is the destruction
81 ..afa
said. The maximum retreat of the en-
emy up to August 2nd measured i6
miles, the total length of the Aisne-
Marne salient having been reduced from
IA miles to 4S miles.
The French and British pounding at,
both flanks of the salient, General
March said, had resulted in the collapse
of the German resistance on August /.
and the French had walked into Sois-
sons.
The grand total embarked TO the end
OF July has passed the 1900 600 mark.
The previous high monthly record was
for June, when 276,0O0 men were sent
over seas.
The advance N the center has aver
aged three miles on front OF 50 mIes.
the chief OF staff said, while on the
east flank, west OF Rheims, an advance
OF four miles on a four mile front al
ready had been made.
The complete success OF the allies
is indicated by confidential message
reaching the chief OF staff from an or
flcer who at the time OF writing had
Just returned from Fere en- 1aroenois
This offlcer reported that it was seem
ingly impossible for any army to gal
ther the number OF guns and shells
that Were abandoned by the Germans
in their retirement.
The message added that the Germans
had been driven back without time to
bury their dead and the German bodies
lay so thickly it was impossible to adj
vance without walking over them.
The selection of Major Jesse Mel. Car
ter. now serving as chief of the militia
bureau, and commander of the United
States guard, to head one of the new
divisions 70 ne formed in this country
was ank~LNsd.
