first American troops landed in Italy
yesterday General March. chief Nof
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-
lzations, General March explained. On
the whole, however, 1t is made UP
mostly Of non-combatant units. The
~colnbatant troops will be sent by Gen
eral Pershing as previously announced.
General March had no announcement
to make today as to the total number
OF troops shipped from this country
to France. Formal announcement, he
a would be made later.
Situation Favorable.
Surveying the catire battle front,
General March said the situation could
be said to be extremely Favorable TO
h allies. He would make no corn
ment upon the indications of an i'm
pending German attack.
The first national army division has
taken up a sector at the front, General
March also announced. 1t is the nth,
raised in New York, trained at Camp
Upton and originally commanded by
Maj. Gen. j. Franklin Bell. 1t was
taken across under Major General
Johnson.
Five American divisions which had
been brigaded with the British for
tral,ing have been returned to General
Pershing's command with training
completed.
One of these is the 35th division.

Gen. William NJ. Wright, when it left
the United States.
General March disclosed that the o.
fetal reports from the Italian front
,iace the number of Austrians captured
material. The line Of the Piave- has
been entirely restored by the Italians
and in some places has been slightly
advanced.
Why Austria Failed.
fGiaitary opinion. General iLsrch
sid. found the Austrian attack faulty
because it was spread over so large a
'front.' as to make it impossible to carry
through successfully.
The Austrian disaster which followed
g valuable to the allies, not only in a
military sense, by psychologically, the
chief Of staff said, because of It's slim
Hating effect upon Italian morale, both
among the civil population and the
army.
The practical result in prisoners and
guns taken also was, OF course, yalu-
able.
During the last week American
activities in France have been local in
character, but official reports show
that the Americans at all lime and
places have more than held their own,
General March said. Ffne examples of
individual bravery are coming in, he
sald.
Commenting upon the rsturn to Cen
eral Tershing's command of the five
divisions bsigaded with the British.
General March said it showed clearly
the success OF the plan for using all
facilities to give American units their
rinal polish. II would not have been
possible otherwise. he indicated. to
