MAJ.-GEN. HARRIS
MAKES REPORT
Total of 5,037 Enemy Aliens
Were in Custody in
United States

Washington, y. G., Dec 6,-The de-
cision of the war department that the
bodies of American soldiers who lost
their lives in France should remain bur.
led in that country until after the end of
the war was reached in agreement with
the government of France This is dis
closed in the annual report Of Major Cen
eral Harris, adjutant general, made pub
lie to-day.
Under articles agreed upon by the
United States and the French govern
ment," General Harris says, ethe remains
of all soldiers who die in France are to
lie buried in France until the termination
of the war"
1t was because of this agreement, the
report says, that relatives are informed
of the place of burial of soldiers in
France whenever this information is OBJ
tainable
The statistics of the army given in the
report throw little light on the present
organization, as they are Of date Of last
June 30. Among items Of interest pre-.
sented however, is the fact that the
adoption of the finger print Identification
system for the service not only served
TO identify 33 of the men lost with the
Tuscania, who would otherwise3have been
buried among the unknown dead. but
also enabled the department to sift out
that 54S cases of fraudulent enlistment.
The report shows also that a total Of
5,037 enemy aliens were in custody as
prisoners of war or under inteFnment in
this country. OF these l,4ll were pris-
oners of war, including the crews Of Ger
man auxiliary war craft seized at the
outbreak of the war. No prisoners taken
by the army in France have been brought
to the United States.
During the period covered by the re-
port, II prisoners died, IA interned aliens
were paroled by the department of JUS
tice, and Is escaped, Of whom two were
drowned In all there were 20 escapes,
but l6 were recaptured.
All guarantees contemplated by inter
national law as TO humane treatment,
freedom in exercise of religious beliefs,
full opportunity for education, proper
healthful recreation and amusement and
other privileges looking toward comfort,
well-being and betterment Of prisoners,
are, it is believed, being conscientiously
observed, General Harris said.

PURPOSE OF GERMANS
 IS NOW MADI: PLAIN
Present Offensive Involves Attempt to Dominate the Marnc
 Valley.

Paris, May 30.--As the battle pro- ceeds the enemy's pIraosa becomes plain. It is twofold.
 First of all, IS miles south of tie Vesle flows the Marne. which forms. with the Disc, one of the grea: aven- ues of approach to Paris. Along it's course runs the ChalOus railroad. the main eastern artery. ID eaih g foot ing in the Marne valley, or even to approach within artillery range cf it.. would be an appreciable result. That is sufficient to show why the Ger mans continues to push sOuthward so vigorously. Their advance there yesterday, however, amounted 70 only three and one-half miles, as against five and one-half on the first jay oI the attack. and seven On the second.
 This indicates the growing force Ct the opposition which the eneIay s en- countering.
 The second objective, which the German staff considers even more i'm portant, judging by the efforts made at Soissons, is to broaden the salient to the westward. By enlarging the action there the German crown prince intends to approach nearer 10 Paris on the direct route.
 The French command is fully aware of the importance of this movement. Although Soissons was evacuated to prevent needles sacrifice of men. the French hold all the roads, leading out of the town.

London, May Tonight's acws of the battlefield of the Alsne is more favorable, inasmuch as the al lies are holding the enemy on the tive Hanks at Soissons and Rheims, and the Germans rate of progress has been slowed down.
 The danger is by no means past, however, and hot fighting continues along the whole front especially to the southward, the German official statement claiming that they are Lighting their way toward the. ,Maiae from Fere-en- -Tardenois.
 According to the statement the enc my claims to have taken 35,0a0 pri- soners and a tremendous amount of booty in cannon and material. The in- dications from official and unofficial reports are that while continuing his effort to widen his salent, the enemy appears to be turning the main dir ection of his movement westward doubtless with the intention of D. turing the railroads connecting wibl Paris.
 The push southward to the Marn, is an attempt to cut the Paris Chalons line in the opinion of mili- tary critics here. There is still sol-c disagreement as to whether the Ger mans high command is likely to make a bigger main attack elsewhere, but the movement for Paris seems to square with the idea of the German press that political motives call for q blow at the French armies, and that this is of equal importance with the strategic effort to reach the sea either thru Ameins, or further north with the intention of dividing the al lied forces.
 Criticisms are beginning to be heard here as to whether the allies air supremacy was employed to the best advantage since the Germans have been able for a second time to assemble huge forces for a surprise attack on thinly-held sections of the allied line.
 Lcndon, May 3O.-The text of the offical statement issued by the war office today reads: \
