The prisoners were obedient enough.
They do know what rigid discipline

100000 FIGHTERS
ARE NOW ABROAD,
u. S. CHIEF SAYS
March Tells Senate Hun Drive
Creates Serious Situation,
DETECTIVES NOW GAINED
OiggIng-in Process 10 Come
Soon, Then New Movement,

WASHINGTON, June Members
OF the senate military committee al
their weekly conference today with war
department officials were told by Gen.
Peyton {. March, chief OF staff, that
opinion here is that the Germans have
reached their present objcctive-the
Marne--and that they probably now
will dig in and prepare for later drive,
perhaps on Paris.
100000 Overseas In May,
Present enemy successes and pros
pective renewal OF the offensive, tho
senators were informed, emphasized
the necessity for urgent transportation
Of American forces abroad. More than
100000 Amerioans--and these exceed
ing the usual ratio OF fighting men
which has been 90 percent-wers sent
In June II Is planned to send even larg-
er numbers, with larger percentage Of
combat / troops.
The statement OF Senator Lewis OF
Illinois that there now are 100000
fighting men in the American force
was said by military committee mem
ber to be about 30 percent exaggcra-
ton"
Situation Called Serious.
With the Germans within forty five
miles Of Paris, the situation, senators
were told, was serious. Military .sk-.
perts here, they were advised, are a
unit in realizing the dangers confront
ing the allies
The senator's were told that the rap
idity of the German advance since their
offensive began last Monday was un-
expected by allied military experts.
Twenty German divisions, II was said,
were thrown against seven OF the al
lies.
Success Of the enemy was ascribed
due largely to improved use of gas
shells.
On the basis OF a 30 percent exag-
geration OF Senator Lewis estimate OF
] 100000 men in France, figures at
about 100000 men are approximately
correct II 90 percent of these are
combatant and 40 percent non-com-
batant, the usual ration, il means that
there are approximately 10000 Ameri.
can fighting men in France today, the
number being augmented At the rate OF
about 1900 daily.
