WASHINGTON, July 27.--Trained
combat American troops from France
have begun to arrive in Italy. General
March announced today at his regular
conference with newspapermen.
Neither the number nor the place
where they are TO be used has been
communicated to the war department,
. the general said.
Two More Corps Formed.
Two additional American army corps
have been organized in France, Cen
eral March announced They are tho
Fourth and Fifth, commanded by
Major Generals George w Reed aud
Omar Bundy, respectively,
Changes in the command OF the
corps already formed, General March
said. included placing Maj. Gen. viii
liam NJ. Wight. who formerly com
manded the Thirty-first division Of
Missour-kansaS national guards, in
command OF the Third army corps, and
placing Mai Gen. Robert /. Bullard
In command OF the Second army corps
Other commands are as follows: Fourth
corps, Maj Gen. George w Reed Fifth
corps, Maj. Gen. Omar Bundy.
Huns Back Eleven Miles.
Summing up the battle situation on
the Aisne Marine front, General March
said that il had resulted, according TO
official advices, in forcing the Ger
mans back eleven miles further from
Paris and shortening the allied line
by ten miles.
The German withdrawal from
Chateau Thierry toward the center OF
the salient continues, and the import
ant German center of Fere-en Tarde-
nois is now within 81 miles OF the
allies line under persistent fire As
q result, General March says, the
French already are beginning to ad-
vance northward from the Marne
against the enemy forces in the pocket
on that side of the salient.
British in Striking Advance.
The most striking advance since last
Wednesday, which General March
noted, was by the British forces just
west OF Rheims. This advance of
mile and a half on a four mile front.
he said, marked special source Of
danger to the enemy, placing his forces
TO the south in an awkward position.
In announcing the formation of two
more corps General March explained
that the divisions, comprising them
and other corps are assigned before
leaving this country to be mobilized
as corps when their training has been
completed.

Perhaps, along with smaller efforts
