WAR BULLETINS

Daily the German losses in men
killed or wounded continue to aug
ment as details are obtained from
Germans made prisoner. Some divi-
SONS lost as high as 10 per cent. or
their effectives as they charged in
mass formation against the British
and French machine gunners and rifle
men. Companies withdrew from the
fighting with their combative strength
reduced to 40 men.
The Germans again lombard Paris
with long range guns. Cardlnal
Annette, archbishop of Paris, receives
a message from the Pope deploring the
killing of innocent persons in church
on Good Friday, and a message from
Grand Rabbi Israel Levi declares the
bombardment an act of sacrilegious
barbarism.
While the advance of the German
armies in Picardy has come to halt,
there has been savage fighting on the
extreme western edge Of the battle
zone. Encounters in which large
forces have been engaged have oc-
Cured north of Moreuil, but there
seems to be no decided advantage
gained by the Teutonic invaders.
Germany's supreme drive on the
western front has been halted at all
points except in the sector due east of
Amiens, where fierce fighting contin-
ues.
The allies have taken the offensive
in Picardy.

PITH OF THE
w A r N E VS.

The Germans drive has ceased from
exhaustion, some of their companies
being reduced to 10 men, while the
allies reserves are still intact. Ac-
tion on both British and French
fronts lately was chiefly confined to
artillery, the Germans making no
further progress toward Amiens and
being firmly held at all points.
Reuters correspondent at the front
says the enemy Is concentrating his
principal forces between the Somme
and Mentdidier, probably with the
intention Of striking a new blow at
Amiens. st. Pol. is now under heavy
artillery fire.
The Germans made repeated attempts
to reach the Amiens railroad by vio-
lent attacks on the southeast. They
penetrated to ArracS1s woods, north
east of MoreuiI, but were hurled out
by the British and French, with the
assistance of Canadians using Amer
ican made armored motor cars.
Germany has served an uItimatum
upon Russia that Red Guards must
be withdrawn from Finland and flu
ture movements of this organization
to that state be prohibited. Ger
mary threatens to take the nec-
essary steps to enforce her de.
marIs.

AMERICAN TROOPS
MARCH TO BATTLE
United States Forces Are All
Turned Over to the Allies
Under Foch.
OVER 100000 FOR DRIVE.
Great Activity In American Zone
Troops In Lines Miles Long Plod
Over Muddy Roads-Men De-
termined, But Cheerful.

With the American Army in France.
The acceptance by France of Gen.
eral Pershing's offer Of all American
men and material for the present
emergency has in effect virtually re-
suited in unified army command, so
far as the French army and American
forces are concerned. This is shown
by the fact that the orders issued to the
American troops are of French origin.
All the American troops have been
turned over to the allies for such use
as they see fit to make of them.
American troops may soon be fighting
side by side with their British and
French allies in the battle which is
raging In northern France.
It is enough to say that great ac-
tivity Of many kinds is in progress in
the entire American zone. Miles OF
motor trucks loaded with Americans
have passed through the towns, some
going in one direction, some in anoth-
Ell. Through a driving rain the motor
trucks plowed their way along muddy
roads, the Americans singing. Many
of the trucks had American flags
fastened to their tailboards.
On other roads mile after mile Of
marching Americans splashed through
the mud which came over their ankles.
The horses were steaming from the
work they had to do.
All the men are working as hard
as possible, with the realization that
they are to be Of service in the COM
mon cause and used in the present
conflict.
Great activity continued Sunday
throughout the zone where the Ameri-
can troops are quartered. 1t began at
four o'clock in the morning, Wien
heavily loaded motor camions began
rumbling through the streets and over
the roads, which by noon were crowd
ed with camions, both motor and
horse drawn, marching men, horses
and artillery.
AS on Saturday, some parties were
going In one direction and some In
another. The Americans passing
were cheered by others who stood
along the roads watching the virtually
endless procession, some of which
were miles long.
Out on the open roads, the men in
the camions sang everything from
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
to "Tipperary." They exhibited the
greatest enthusiasm for the work they
have in hand and seemed to be anx-
ious to get it started.
Frequently during the day heavy
motor trucks skidded from the muddy
roads into bitches, but they were
quickly literally picked up by as many
Americans as could get a hand on
them and set back on the road and
started again toward their destination.
A little thing like lifting the end of
five ton motor truck from a ditch
means nothing to Americans who are
in a hurry to get into the fight.

tanned for training purposes.
News that the United States Will
have more than 100000 men in

reioiced the French and British capl-
tails, as also the military leaders of the
Allies forces. This prediction exceeds
even that made by Secretary Bakers
recent estimate.

British authorities as to what per-

Secretary of War Newton D. Baker

France Immediately after making a
hurried trip to Italy to bring first
hand information concerning necessl-
ties imperative to the defeat of Ger
many.
Mai. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, repre-
sentative of the United States on the
.inter-allied war council and Gen.
John J. Pershing, commanding the ex-
peditionary forces, both cabled that
the situation on the western front was
steadily improving.

once to give the war department and

the Germans has been retaken by the
French. The enemy losses In men
were stated to be enormous.

German-American War

Army men in Washington believe
that all the National Guard and regu'
lar army and most of the first draft
will be in France by October l. The
total enlisted personnel is now about
1,525,000, and there are $4,000 ofii-
GERS. AS q result, it is expected that
1,250,000 men will be drafted this year
instead of half that number, as origi-
nally planned.
General Pershing will have supervi-
sion of the general staff in this coun-
try and supreme command abroad.

The lines Of motor trucks loaded with

and every ton available will be put to
Use in transporting men.
