satisfactorily

given by the Federal reserve system.

AMERICAN ARMY
SOON TO SURPASS
KA|SER'S FORCES

With the French Army in France,
Sept. 7.-Calculations based upon the
most accurate information available
show that the Germans have lost
l 100000 men since March 81. Of
this total, about a half-million were
killed. permanently disabled or taken
prisoner, leaving about 100000 re-
cuperable in four or five months. Their
reserves dwindled in about the same
time to about the same extent.
The American army in France next
spring will alone exceed the whole
fighting strength of the German ar
my. In the meantime divisions re-
leased by the shortening of the line,
if the retreat is effected successfully,
with a half million men recuperated
from the wounded and 100000 men
of the 1920 class, now completing
training, will constitute maneuver-
ing army with which Ludendorff may
be tempted to hazard another stroke.

Chief of American General
Staff Says the Situation
on the West Front Is Most
Satisfactory in Months.
(By Associated Prass)

Washington, Sept. General
March today told the Senate military
committee that the situation was
more satisfactory today on the west
ern front than it had been for months.
Good progress is being made and the
outlook is bright The Allies at no
point are more than twelve miles
from the Hindenburg line along the
whole battlefront, while the British
have pierced the upper part of the
line. General March said that between
80 900 and 100000 Americans were with
the British. He said that 95 per cent
of the American troops brigaded with
the British and French had been with
drawn and were being assembled for
organization of the First American
field army, which is progressing rap
idly. The Thrty-second division is
the only American troops engaged in
the present battle.
General March in his statement to
the newspaper men characterized the
German retrOgrade movement as
general retreat" on the front from
Arras to Rheims. He pointed out that
the German lines were sixty miles
from Paris at the nearest point. They
were within forty miles on July Is.
He said General Pershing had sent
the department a report on minor cas-
ualties to August 20. He said the
total was 10000 cases. Most of the
men were so slightly wounded they
were returned to the ranks in few
days. He disclosed that the depart
ment had arranged to have General
Pershing forward by courier weekly
list of all wounded which would be
made public from Washington. When
the new system is in effect the cas-
ualties cabled from American head
quarters will include only the dead
and missing.
General March told the senator's
that transportation facilities were be-
ing increased. The said the factories
had delivered 1900 airplanes and that
800 American fighting planes were
now in France.

WHAT IMPERIAL
VALLEY MEN ARE
DOING IN FRANCE

The record Imperial Valley boys
are making "over there" is indicated
in a letter received from Lieutenant
John Elmore of rBawley to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. f. Elmore. The
letter follows:
august 8, 191S.-Dear Mother:
We go back into the line again to-
night, so t may be some time before
you hear again as the mail is always
tied up when we move. The front
I'VE are going to is quiet one and in
the nature of a rest. Our division
certainly has a wonderful record. In
the line almost continuously since
the middle of January. Have never
lost a foot of ground. Has taken
every objective it has started for and
has been in practically all the fight
ing done by the Americans. Is there
any wonder we are a little conceitet
and wear our caps little more slan'
: than anyone else. Even over here al
one has to do Is to make it known h
is from the First Division and he ha
!, an audience at once.

RECORD
Of CHIC A c D
SUSPECT
IS DISCLOSED

The local record Of John w. Viii.
son Of Brawley, believed to be the
rnerial Valley man arrested yester-
jay in Chicago charged with being
involved in the Chicago Federal build
ing bomb plot, in which four persons
were killed and several score injured,
was disclosed today by Sheriff Chas.
M. Applestill.
This man was arrested in October,
1916, in Brawley, on charge of is
suing bad checks. He was convicted
and served eighteen months in San
Quentin prison in expiation of his
crime. Wilson was a pressman and
was active in |. w. w. affairs.
"While | cannot be positive that
these John w. Wilson's are the same
men, circumstances would indicate
-such," said Sheriff Applestill "The
first time | came in contact with him
was while | was undersheriff, during
strike in the cantaloupe section.
"Wilson was one of the leaders who
refused to let the men go back to
work even after their demands had
been met by the growers. He was al
ways in the front ranks of the dis
er follower. He could best be clas-
er follower. ell could best be clas-
sified as an agitator."

ON SEPTEMBER Il

Enforcement by the sheriff's office
of the work or fight order promul-
gated by General Crowder, provost
marshal general of the United States
army, will commence at midnight on
September IL, registration day.
The announcement that the Valleys
undesirables must do something for
their country was made by Sheriff Ap-
plestill.
AS soon as the minute hand of the
clock denotes that September l3 has
arrived and the military registration
has been completed, the sheriff con-
templates the most systematic round
up of slackers and loafers that the
Southwest has ever witnessed.

With the Americans ON the Aisne
Front, Sept. THE Americans and
French last night brought up add
tional forces and supplies and again
advanced their line Both heavy and
light artillery are being used to tear
holes in the enemy lines. New forces
have been brought up along the Aisne
west of Fismes, where the Germans
are entrenched along the canal par
alleling the river.
Eighteen bombs were dropped.
When the alarm was sounded the at
tendants turned their attention to
the wounded. The slightly wounded
retired to shelters unaided and in
several instances they assisted in car
rying the severely wounded to safety.
There was some confusion owing to
the darkness due to the extinguish-
ing of all the lights, but no patinet
or attendant was injured.
