CUTS OFF THE LAST
GERMAN ARTERY
In That Sector Of the Western Front,
According to Statement BY General
March in Washington.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 9.--Capture of
Maubeuge by the British, General March
said to-day, marks the definite severance

The American first army under General
Pershing has advanced 80 miles in the
last eight days.
bcheIdl AldTC0 characterized the pubII-
cation OF the erroneous announcement of
the armistice as very bad for the mill
tary program of the United States" For
instance, he said, in New York, the steye-
dores who were engaged in loading very
essential supplies for the expeditionary
forces, stopped work and did not return
at all on that day or the next day and
army food shipments thus were DELAYED.
In commenting on this incident the
chief of staff made the statement that
the American army will be in France for
some time even when peace is declared.
The reorganization of the American
expeditionary forces into two field armies
has resulted in several changes in corps
These include the follow.
