GERMANS ARE RETIRING
ON HUNDRED-MILE FRONT
WASHINGTON, Kept. 7.—Characterizing the German
retrograde movement as a general retreat on a hundred.mile
front, from Arras to near Rheiins, General March today pointed
out to the newspaper men that the Germn lines were now sixty
miles from Paris at the nearest point, as compared with torty
miles on duly Id.
The organization of the first American lield army in
France was progressing so rapidly, continued General March,
that nearly ltd per cent of the American troops brigaded with
the French and British have been withdrawn and assembled at
a point which he did not designate. This accounts tor the small
number of Americans engaged in the present allied forward
, movement. Only thirty divisions are now engaged.
Speaking before the senate committee on military affairs
today, General March said the situation on the western front
was more satisfactory this morning than it had been in mouths.
He said that good progress was being made and flit* outlook
was brilliant.
