German Lines.
Washington, July 27.-Trained
combatant American troops from
France have begun to arrive in Italy,
General March announced today at his
regular conference with newspaper
men. Neither the number nor the
place where they are to me used has
been communicated to the war de-
partment, he said.
Two New Army Corps.
Two additional American army
corps have been organized in France,
General March announced. They are
the Fourth and Fifth, commanded by
Major Generals George w. Reed and
Omar Bunday, respectively.
Summing up the battle situation on
the Aisne- -Marne front, General March
said it had resulted, according to
official adVices in forcing the Ger
mans back eleven miles farther from
Paris and shortening the Allied line
by ten miles.
The positions on the f1anks of the
salient near scissors and Rheims are
relatively unchanged, General March
said.
The German withdrawal from
Chateau Thierry toward the center of
the salient continues and the impor-
tant German center of Fere-en-Tarde-
nois now is within three and one-half
miles of the Allied lines and under
constant shell fire.
British Threaten Germans.
The most striking advance since last
Wednesday, when General March ,
noted was by the British forces just
west of Rheims. This advance of a
mile and half on a four mile front, |
he said, marked a special source OF |
danger to the enemy, placing his |
forces to the south in an awkward |
position.
The German attack at Epieds only |
delayed the American progress and |
these troops again are moving for |
ward. |
AS a result, General March said, the !
French already are beginning to ad- |
vance northward from the Marine !
against the enemy forces into the |
pocket on that side of the salient.
The French advance from Dor |
mans northWard on the Marine, the |
chief of staff pointed out, is across
precipitous and wooded terrain, MAX |
ing progress necessarily slow.
New Britain Boys Included
In announcing the formation of |
two more corps, General March ex-
planned that the division comprising |
them and other corps are assigned |
before leaving this country, to be |
m obilized as corps when their training |
has been complete. With this under |
he said, the 83rd National |

(By the Associated Press)


A lull, probably only for few
hours, has interviewed in the desperate
battle in the Marne salient The AL
lied offensive, although unchecked by
the Germans, has slowed down. Enc
my counter attacks have ceased for
the moment
Meanwhile, the Allied artillery is
pouring a heavy fire on the German
bases depots and lines, OF communica-
ton within the pocket between
Rheims and SOissOns. The entire re
sion is within the range of the big
guns and, as on the previous days,
they continue to hammer the enemy
INCREASINGLY. Allied airmen have in
creased the intensity of their bomb
ing opera tions. AS Il result the Ger
mans within the pocket probably are
no better off than during the period
Of bitter fighting around the ever
narrowing edges.
Allies Improve Positions.
From the Ourcq to the Marine and
along the Marine the Germans have
been cleared almost entirely from the
Fere and Ris forests and the Tour
nellie Wood and now stand with then
backs against the virtually clear pIa-
teau between Fere- en-TardenOis and
Vile en- -Tardenois. The Allied lines
are within few miles of these places
and Fere, originally the most import
ant southern base, is of no use to the
enemy, allied guns dominating the
town and the diverging roads. This
situation was improved further for
the Allies by the capture of Nillemon-
toire and Oulchy-le-Chateau, which
the Germans have made no attempt
to rc-take.
Almost all the progress Friday was
made in the wooded areas north of
the Marine and between the Marine
and the Ourcq. Using as small a
number Of men as possible the enemy
depended upon artillery and machine
guns to halt the Fren< and Ameri-
cans, but they pushed on and chased
the Germans to the northern edges:
Local showers fell over much of the
battle area Friday.
Crown Prince Withdrawing?
It is believed the German crown
prince continues TO withdraw his
men and supplies from the salient
More fires have been seen and eXplO-
siOns heard within the enemy lines
To withdraw would be an admission
by the crown prince that he had met
with a serious setback. There prob
ably would be a drop in the German
morale and the German command
may prefer to hold on rather than to
admit defeat. From a military stand
point the Germans would improve
their position if they retired to the
Vesle.

Pooling the Teacher.

The meanest teacher in our town,
Or any town about.
Once kept our pitcher, Dannie Brown,
When school was letting out
She kept MIN in to do sum
She said it wasn't hard
Although the other nine had come
To play right in our yard
We lost the game by ten to one,
They were the Silver Sox,-
I'm very sure we should have won
With Danne in the box
She let him out i'll inning three,
But then il was too late;
And teacher even smiled when she
Went past us to the gate,
But since then every single day
We've fooled the teacher well;
We've found very simple way
just listen and I'll tell:
When Dannie has sum to do,
He always does his best;
And then, you see, when school is throug
He gets out with the rest.
