The Nenana daily news., 1918-07-20

March, chief of staff of the Ameri- can army, issued a statement today summarizing the war situation on the Western front. The statement has been carefully compiled from the reports received officially from the field headquarters of the army.
 The general said that there were six American divisions of 100000 men, engaged on the right flank of the Allied line which is advancing over a twenty-mile front between the Aisne and the Marne. The troops are composed of the First, Second, Third and Fourth divisions of the Regular army, the 26th New England and 18th Pennsylvania National Guard divisions, with their reserves.
 . The present offensive will be con- tinued with vigor until the enemy has been forced back.
 The town of Soissons is now un- der heavy fire from the American batteries and with the forcing of the Germans out of this place, which is only a matter of time, general withdrawal of the German forces on the sector to the south of the Marne is expected, as with the town of Soissons and the heights com manding the surrounding country in our hands, all of the German posi- tions in this sector will be rendered untenable.
 The greatest Allied penetration at one point has been little over ten miles, while the average penetration along the whole line of advance over a twenty-five mile front be- tween the Aisne and the Marne has been seven miles.
 The Germans had prepared a big offensive against the British in the north, with the Channel ports as the objective, but the counter of- fensive of the Franco-American troops on the Aisne-Marne front in the south, has completely upset their plans and forced them to postpone their projected northern drive.
 The embakation of our troops for France, General March announced, had now passed the 100000 mark.
 PARIS.-Official reports received here today from the Marne' front contain the statement that the Franco-American advance still con- tinues on the entire battlefront be- tween the Aisne and the Marne and that all of the ground to the south of the Marne lying between Fossoy and Ouilly has been recaptured, our troops penetrating beyond and reach ing the line near Virsey. The de- lending Germans were badly beaten and several towns in the line of the Allied advance were taken.

CORNELL TO MEET. PENNSYLVANIA ON
 CRIDIRON AGAIN
Ancient Battle Will Be Staged Despite War time
 Cut in All Schedules.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9-"Big Bill" Hollenback drove the Pennsylvania football squad through the hardest practice of the season yesterday in preparation for Saturdays game Much time was devoted to bunting, as with Miller lost to the team, the kicking will devolve upon Shorty Braun, who Is only a fair punter.
 The Penn varsity line appears to be definitely fixed. McNichol and Mitchell will be the ends, Supplee and Moore guards, and Walker will be at centre.
 Coach FolweIl went to Franklin Field yesterday afternoon, although the aggressive Penn football leader has been laid low with the influenza. He succeeded in convincing more than a half dozen specialists at the uni versity hospital that he was suff1- ciently recovered to venture out.
 Several more of Penn's gridiron players are victims of the disease; three are barred from the Students Army Training Corps and therefore liable to draft call in a few days, and one le1t to enter the aVlauon SerVlca. These are Ray Miller, end; Rosetsky, IfuIlback; Veil, end, and Dekorn, a lineman.
 No further arrangements have been made in regard to the completion of the schedule. In view of the fact that Cornell again has taken up foot ball there is every reason to believe that the Ithacans will have a team here for the annual game.
 The date of this contest originally was slated for November 8, but now it is likely that the game will be moved to Thanksgiving as in former years, as holiday game would at tract larger crowd, it is believed than contest the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
