WASHINGTON. June 15.-Ameri.
can overseas troop shipments have
passed the 100000 mark, General
March announced today.
March declared that all four often,

ator Kirby of Arkansas. declared more
than a million Americans will be en-
route to France before July, according
TO war council information. March
said the Importance of rushing Amer
leans to France is preeminent because
the German offensives have length
ened the allied line 66 miles. March
said the 500, 900 include com batants,
the medical service and men for SER
vice of the rear. He said: THE
number of troops being sent across is
now limited only by the capacity of
boats to carry them, and we intenu

front sufficiently to counter balance
the allies casualties, while the Ger
mans have no such force to replen-
ish theirs
March said: THE four drives are
all parts of the common scheme of
offensive. One of the many striking
features of this whole advance has
been the extent of the front which the
allies had to cover as a result of |
German progress.
March explained the capture of the |
channel ports would have had an i'm
and more important effect
on the war than the capturing of
Paris. Incidentally he suggested the
Germans thus far have failed to reach
he maximum boundary they attain
ed in 1914. He could not say the
battle is now turning towards the
channel ports.
March said the Russian situation

Major Macfall is student of STRAIT

provocative of serious thought. There

Inc the war to have been started on the

closes with copious citations of fact and
with irrefragible logic the long-cher-

OF the Hohenzollern clan, and therefore
the real purport Of the war. and it
makes clear to us what will be tba

Health Department Cleans Up
Citizens To-day Asked
to Swat Flies

Yesterday was "street day" in the
drive being conducted throughout the
week by the Health Department, under
the personal leadership of Health Com
missioner DR.. Royal S. Copeland. Last
night New York's streets, areaways
and vacant lots were cleaner than they
have been in a long while.
Instead of calling on citizens to
clean up, Frank Mann, Commissioner
of the Tenement House Department,
summoned his entire force, put in
spectors in charge and cleaned up the
city himself. The police arrested many
violators of the tenement house laws
and they were fined from So TO SIS each.
To-day is "fy day" All citizens are
asked to exterminate as many of the
germ carriers as possible. These sug-
gestions are offered:
Flies hate blue and the Gil of Law
ender They avoid rooms decorated in
blue and shun, as poison, an nything on
which oil of lavender has been sprayed.
"Flies also hate the perfume of
geraniums, mignonette, >heliotrope,
white clover, honeysuckle and hop
blossoms. Bouquets of any of these
keep them from tables"

In Supplies Scandal
Board of Estimate Forced to
Abolish Department to Get
Examiners "Scalp"

No charges could be brought against
George B. Petit, an examiner in the
Bureau of Purchases and Supplies. to
accomplish his dismissal, so the Board
OF Estimate yesterday summarily abol-
lshed the position. City officials were
after Pettit's "scalp" because he was
alleged to have given out information
that bills for supplies contracted for at
exorbitant figures by the Central Pur-
chase Committee of the new admins
tration were being held up in the Con.
troller's office. This led to a scandal
and the resignation of Alexander
Grant, brother-in-law of David Hirsh-
field, Commissioner of Accounts, who
was in charge of the bureau
Philip Shapiro, son-in-law of
Grants, had been employed as the
city's agent in purchasing the supplies,
Petit. who has been in the city SER
vice twenty-three years, appeared be-.
fore the board yesterday to protest
ton. Openly accused by Controller
Craig of having given out the informa-
tion In question, Petit deed that he
had.
"Well, the leak was traced to you or
close to you,' said the Controller.
Pettlt then asked to be allowed to
remain until July ! while ne sought
another position. The board granted
this request. Petit declared his de-
parture would leave the purchase
bureau with only an office boy and two
girls. The Controller replied:
"If you don't look out, we'll take
that extra month away from you"

Later, specifying as to the nature OF

chased from the Lockhart interests,
and that factory for the production
of Emerson automobiles was to be
erected thereon. Mr.. Matches had also
made this statement over his firm

lice official, Inspector Silas Waite. had

Farrell was asked if he had completed
his inves stigations into the Emerson
stock selling campaign on October s.,
the day he swore TO having made his
special report to the District Attorney
and the day on which other wit
nesses had previously sworn Daniel H.

The names of the editor and pre-
facer are sufficient to characterize this
book: The one, one Of our foremost
historians and authorities on foreign
relations; the other, one of the keenest
international jurists and most effective
advocates of Americas side in the

manual Of patriotism, encyclopaedia in
scope and comprehensiveness, yet so
compact as to be Of easy pocket size.
II shere is anything which an Ameri-

our country's participation in the war,
including our aims and purposes there
in, which is not readily to be found
in the book, we confess ourselves to
be at loss to imagine what is. Ger
