MARCH REVIEWS
DRIVE FOR SEDAN

American forces on the Sedan front
advanced thirty miles in eight days,
General March said today in his
weekly conference with correspon-
dents
In n brief summary OF the military
situation. he said the Germans now
have been deprived of all railway
lines parallel to their front. They
hold only lines radiating toward the
front which makes the shipping OF
troops difficult. The American ad-
vance severed the Valenciennes-Metz
railroad at Sedan.
The allied advances have pushed
the German front from a point thirty.
six miles from Paris to more than
100 miles away, and have reduced
German occupation OF French terri
tory from 10000 square miles last
July to $500 square mile today.
General March stated that the or
ganization of American forces into
armies has necesSitated changes in
corps commanders. The corps are
now commanded by the following Of

So, in France.
In letter received by his parents
recently, the young soldier writes:
Fortunately. I only got a couple of

fellow can look for in this game OF
war" He praised the R6 Cross for
the treatment they gave him and other
American boys and speaks in encour-

GERMANY OPEN ON
WEST FRONT NOW
BY }. W. t. MASON.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-The German
armies along the west front have
been cut into two groups by the sue
cess Of the allies in reaching the
enVirons OF the<Ardennes massif.
For all practical purposes. the Ger
mans in Belgium are no longer able
10 maintain direct communication
with the Germans in France for in
terchange OF supplies and man
power. The hills and forests OF the
Ardennes interpose impossible
obstacles against the free movement
OF transport columns and marching
troops. Nearly the entire German
front in France has been pushed
south Of the Ardennes while that
part OF Belgium still in the euemy's
possession is north OF the Ardennes.
To maintain contact for military
operations on a large scale between
his disunited armies Won Hindenburg
must send troops from one group
to the other by a long rearward de-
tour through German territory. This
situation is an impossible one for
long continuance. Depleted OF fresh
troops as they are, the Germans
would have to~1orm two separate re-
serve armies, one to act in France
ana the otner IN Belgium II Won
Hindenburg were to cling still longer
to the French and Belgian soil.
Strategically, the difficulty Of this
task is immensely increased by the
fact that the Americans row have
under gunfre the principal lines OF
communication feeding the German
front in France. Even n brief pro-
longAtion OF the war would compel
the Germans to eVacuate all OF
France. While still trying to hold
central and eastern Belgium, Won
HindenbuTg would have to admit the
allies into Germany before the end
OF the year. through Luxemburg and
Lorraine
Therefore, while the Kaiser and his
militarists are considering Marshal
Foch's armistice terms they know
that rejection OF the demand for un-
conditional surrender will mean
quick invasion of the Fatherland. II
they decline to accept the ultimatum
for free occupation OF strategic points
within Germany by the allied armies
the Kaiser is well aware that the al
lies can seize these points. This is
the reason why the Germans must
now throw up their hands.

DEFY FOOD BAN;
ACTION TOFOLLOW

Several retail food dealers in the
District have furnished W. B. Krantzi
proprietor Of the Mendoza market
now under the ban of the Food Admin
istration. with supplies, according to
Information reaching Clarence r. Will
son, District food chief, today.
All licensed dealers in the United
states were forbidden to trade with
Krantz under the food control act,
following his conviction on an unfair
practice charge last week.
The District Food Administration Is
seeking the parties guilty OF selling
supplies to Krantz. When found they
will be brought before the proseeut-
ing attorney and held for the grand
jury for indictment under the food
control act.
"As far as ! know, all wholesalers
are observing the ban against
Krantz," said Mr.. Wilson. "All re-
ports received by our office indicate
that retailers are the only offenders.

Europe. where he headed the American
labor mission.
Although Gompers withheld the re-
suits Of his visit to Europe, he said:
in our conferences over there We
predicated our projects upon the Amer

We put forth the fact that We have
two million boys right there, on the

This was granted.
The courier left for Spa. and the
