ALLIED PURCHASES
DETERMINE LOANS

The work of the Allied Purchasing
commission, which determines the
amount Of supplies that may be pur-
chased by the Allied countries in the
United States. was explained by
James A. Carr. business manager of
the commission, at the thrift stamp
luncheon Saturday. Mr.. Carr Is homo
from Washington on short visit. He
left Richmond in February to take
dollar a year position with the COM
mission. and in May received the ap-
pOintment as business manager
The amount of money which is ad-
vanced to the allied government is de-
termined by the reports of their pur-
chases made to the treasury depart
ment by the purchasing commission,
according to Mr.. Carr The commits
sion only determined the kind of
things the allies may purchase and
where they may be had and the guam
tity. and does. not do the actual pur-
chasing for the countries. The COM
mission was formed to determine the
amount of goods bought in the United
States, and to prevent profiteering by
firms who sold to allied representa-
tives.
In Washington we eat war, sleep
war, read war, and think war;" said
Mr.. Carr. "and we are preparing for
the war to last indefinitely. Anyone
who speaks of the war ending is taboo
in Washington"

81 AMERICANS
KILLED FIGHTING
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. June 22.-The
steadily increasing participation of
American participation In the fighting
in France was sharply marked in to-
days casualty list. OF the 153 men
named, fifty-two. including three Of
ficers were killed in action, the heav.
lest death toll from the battle field
yet made public
Probably no particular action is re-
sponsible for the number of killed,
but it is an accumulation from the
five or six sections of the front where
the Americans are fighting and from
patrol actions as we'll as from the
larger operations like the attack yes
terday near Chateau Thierry to recti-
fy the lines. Great care is exercised
in forwarding the lists not to reveol
the losses in any particular engage
ment.
The British take similar precau-
tions, yet their casualty list last week
passed the 10000 mark. During the
week, SO far as known. the British
were involved in no major operations
except on the Italian front. A COM
parison of the American and British
lists. however in some measure forms
a gauge of the limited extent to
which the United States has as yet
been able to bring it's power to bear
against the German invaders

plan whereby the vast commercial

and urging prompt payment at a pat
riotic duty, are supplied free by the
war savings committee and are said
to effect the collection Of so per cent.

"The threatening situation on our

With reference to Chinese partici-

would be glad to send 10000 or $4,000
troops. but am prevented by financial
difficulties and the activities of the
provincial rebels. l have sent 100000

Canton rebellion can be repressed
within two months and then good
many of these troops can be released
for service elsewhere.
France originally suggested that
we send troops to the western front,

Regarding the feeling of the Chinese
towards the Germans. General Chi
Jul. said the people generally could not
distinguish between the Germans and
Europeans, adding:
But the enlightened classes .remem-
ber that because mob killed two
missionaries. Germany forced us to
cede Using Tao and owing to that pre-
cedent places like Port Arthur and
ei-Hai-Wei, were sliced from China
But for Germany, China would be
whole today.
Furthermore, it is impossible to
forget that during the Boxer troubles,
German troops were ordered not to
give quarter, while the invasion of
the Imperial Palace by Germans sol
diers was a disgrace unparalleled in
our civilization and will ever be vivid
to the national consciousness. The
Boxer rising itself, was provoked by
German bullying at Tsing-Tao Be
sides. how can we forget the kaiser's
continual harping on the yellow
peril"
The premier declared his intention
of opening up China after the war, by
developing mineral deposits and ex-
tending railroads.

100000 U. 5. men
ARE SHIPPED TO
FRANCE IN week
General March Says U. S. is
Five Months Ahead of its
Program.

WASHINGTON, June %. - Nine
hundred thousand men have been
shipped across the seas, General
March told newspaper correspondents
at the weekly conference today. These
include the troops shipped from all
American ports of embarkation.
The United States is today five
months ahead of it's program for plac-
ing an army in France, General March
said.
The figures Oh American troop ship
ments are significant since General
March at his first conference last
week fixed the number shipped at
more than 100000, the addition of 100,.
600 during the week showing the rate
Of progress that is being made.
While the general battle situation
looks good today, General March said
the present lull on the western front
means only that German combat di-
visions are being reformed for an
other drive. Viewing the whole sit
uation including the Italian front, the
chief of staff said that the central
powers again were held on all fronts.
American troops have done well
wherever the test of battle has come
thus far, General March said regarding
the character of the troops whether
regular, national guard, national army
or marine.
The fight at Cantigny, the most i'm
portant engagement in which Ameri-
can troops have participated, because
it gave opportunity to- judge of the
full measure of their training. he said,
had been fought by the First Division,
commanded by Major General Robert
L. Bullard. This division is now, he
said, thoroughly trained high grade
unit, and was the first American di-
vision to reach France.
Worked in Cooperation.
At Cantigny, General March said, in
fantry and artillery operated in close
cooperation to achieve the victory,
showing the successful work of the
staff officers upon whom that cooper
alton depended The fight clearly
showed, he said, that the training of
the American general staff officers had
reached the point where the system
would work under battle strain.
One of the most striking things on
the western front, the chief of staff
declared, was the supreme Importance
of unified command. This was first
advocated, he added, by President Will
son and carried through under the
presidents constant pressure until
unity of command was realized in the
appointment of General Foch Gener-
al March regarded that as one of the
greatest single military achievment
of the allies which was already show
ing in its effect in the fighting Inter-
est for the allies was centered on the
Italian front where the Austrian drive
