cumber of soldiers embarked now has
passed the 1,500,000 mark. General
March, chief of staff, announced to--.
day. .
T,,? embers of the senate military
g jfinnHttee were assured by Oeneral
jiarch M their weekly conference to-
y jay that :stories of great unpublished
' casualties overseas are wholly false
and that all casualtiesmong the ex
peditionary forces are given to the
transmit them.
, The chief of ktaff said the situation
on the western front now was decid
edly favorable to the allies.
; ' Further improvement in the ship
ping situation was noted and General
March said the program of transport
ing troops to France was going ahead
without change.
Capture Guns and Men.
, General March spoke warmly of
the achievements of the Anierjcfcn
soldiers in France.
"The American soldier deserves the
..confidence of the American people,"
he said. "Every time they have been
tested they have absolutely delivered
the goods."
, Every man who has served with the
American troops has absolute confi
dence in them, he added, citing the
reports made to him by American of
ficers returning from France. One of
these described an action in which an
American division captured 6& Ger
man guns and brought them back at
the rear of army trucks.
This division at the same time cap
tured 3,500 prisoners.
( Another American division in a
single action took 10 complete Ger
man batteries and presented them to
General Pershing. -
First Field Army.
'General March said statements he
made recently in tearing before the
military affairs committees were the
results of cold blooded military opin
ion and were not intended to raise
the hopes of the people. He apparent
ly referred to his testimony that an
army of 4,000,000 Americans could
Vin the. war next year.
No recent reports have come to
tiie department from Oeneral Persh
ing regarding progress in the organi
sation of the First field armv. General
March was unable to say whether
tne American divisions forming this
army have been concentrated in a new
American sector.
Complaints received by senators
from invalided soldiers of delays in
receiving their pay, while detached
: from their commands were brought
to General March's attention. Gen
eral March assured the senators that
everything was being don$ to expe
dite tne payment ot tliese men.

since ithe mission started on a tour
of middle western cities. Capt. James
Flu Morris of the British fiying corps
was , killed the first day. Aug. 14,
just out of Cincinnati.
Major Ream was 42 years old,
served on the Mexican border and,
. until his, assignment on this flying
tour, was at a flying field near San
Diego.
, Nebraska Physician.
The death of Major Ream strikes
close to Nebraskans, as he was a
practicing physician at Walthill until
a few years ago, when he moved to
California. He was born at Homer
t and visited his mother in that city
week before last while en route to
Mineola from San Diego, Cal.
Major Ream was the on'y physi
cian flyer in the United States army.
To use his own words, he is "the only
flying doctor in captivity."
He enlisted in the aero division of
the medical reserve corps in 1916,
with the rank of lieutenant. His pro
motions have been rapid and a few
months ago he was promoted to the
rank of major, the highest rank
given in that department.
His work while primarily in ht
medical department did not prevent
him from learning to fly during his
leisure hours, and he took great de
' light in mastering the art of flying.
He was chief aurgeon at the . San
Diego aviation camp before being or
dered east to join the exhibition mis
sion. His wife and daughter, Miss Ma
Me, live in California. -

He broke the world's altitude record

Sea Fight Different
London, Aug. 24. German motor
boats attempted a reconnaissance in
the neighborhood of Dunkirk, France,
yesterday morning. They were driven
off by British and French patrolling
vessels. One enemy boat is believed
to have been destroyed. The allied
forces suffered no casualties.
Berlin, Aug. 24. (Via London.)
Light German sea forces belonging
to the marine corps attacked allied
vessels off the Dunkirk roads on
Thursday night, it was officially an
nounced today. Torpedo hits were
obtained on three enemy torpedo
boats, two of which were sunk. The
statement says that, in spite of a
strong concentration of enemy sea
forces, the German boats returned
without loss.

pers as saying:
"It fills me with satisfaction and
confidence that I can always rely on
the assistance and co-operation of the
bishops.

recognition of the dangers threaten
ing from our enemies, a firm deter:
initiation to overcome all that is bur
densome and a strong faith in the
Lord's help and in our strength.
Then, I am convinced, Germany will
be invincible and the future will be
ours." , ,',

has been no news of further progress
there by the British.
Along the Chaulnes-Roye sector of
the line there is comparative quiet.
This region has not been mentioned
in recent advices. Although the
French are known to be close to
Noyon, that city is still held by the
Germans. The French hold- ground
along the southern bank of the Oise,
and have been reported to be across
it at two points, but they appear to
have ceased their attacks for the
moment, seeming to be waiting for
the outcome of the fighting in Picar
dy and Artois.
Held Up on Hills.
The left bank of the Ailette is also
held by the French. There have
been reports that they have crossed
this stream, but these have not been
officially confirmed. South of the
Ailette, the French appear to be def
initely held up on the hills north of
Soissons. Their position there, how
ever, would seem to render the Ger
man positions near Soissons unten
able. Trench raids by the French in the
Lorraine sector are reported from the
French war office. This activity in
what has been for some time a quiet
sector may be the prelude to an at
tack against the Germans there, but
there is nothing yet to substantiate
this suggesion. ,
Light sea forces have had a rather
slight encounter off Dunkirk, France.
Both the British and German official
reports state that losses were inflict
ed by their respective units, but deny
suffering any losses.
The diplomatic situation between
Spain and Germany seems to be quite
delicate as the result of the decision
on the part of the former to take over
on a ton-for-ton basis German ships
to replace Spanish ships lost through
attacks by submarines. It is reported
that Berlin has sent a protest to
Madrid, but has not agreed to limit
the submarine warfare or guarantee
Spain against further losses.

The Madden amendment he
thought most unwise and then re

his attention while on the western

He said that part of the German

the air cells of the lungs and burns
the soft parts of the body. He had
seen boys die from the effects of this
gas. To meet this situation the Bu

chemists, graduates of institutions of
high rank in an endeavor to find a
mustard gas that will be as effective
as the German gas and at the same
time as inexpensive to manufacture.
He said these young men are on the
verge of discovering such a mustard
gas and it would be almost criminal
to take these boys away from their
work and put them in the trenches as
privates.
'Tt is the duty of this congress to
put every young man in that branch
where his contribution to the war will
be greatest," said Mr. Reavis.

Amsterdam, Aug. 24. A bulletin is

German empress, who is reported to
be suffering from nervous depression
at Wilhelmshohe. in Hesse-Nassau,
says:
"The heart troubles from which
the empress has suffreed for years

owing to overstrain. Her majesty
must for the present keep completely

ALLIES TO KEEP
OUT OF RUSSIA
Japanese-American Statement
of Reasons for Intervention
Declared Unfounded by
Soviet Government.
Amsterdam. Aug. 24. The Rus
sian bolshevik government has re
plied to the Japanese-American mes
sage to the Russian people explain
ing the motives of the intervention in
Siberia. The version of the Russian
reply appearing in the Tageblatt of
Berlin, as telegraphed from Stock
holm under date of August 22. says:
"The statement made by the Ameri
can and Japanese governments is not
based on accurate information. The
Czecho-Slovak detachments are not
menaced by either Germans or Aus
trians. On the soil of the soviet re
public the battle continues between
the red soviet army, created by peas
ants and workers on one hand, and
Czecho-Slovak detachments, in con
cert with land owners, the burgeoisie
and counter-revolutionaries, on the
other.
"In this battle the workmen and
peasants are defending the revolu
tion which is endangered bv a counter-revolution
aided and abetted by
the Czecho-Slovaks.
"The soviet government is con
vinced that its enemies are only at
tempting to blind proletarian ele
ments of the population and that they
seek to deceive them by fostering in
them the belief that Germans and
Austrians are menacing the Czecho
slovaks. "Should the grounds of this attack
on the soviet republic be really those
stated in the Japo-American message
the soviet government suggests that
the governments exactly formulate
their wishes in the matter."

New York, Aug. 24. Because of
suspicion that German submarines

Triumph has been destroyed by her

two of playing havoc with north At

naval patrol -craft again failed to
mention the sighting of the raider.
The opinion here is that the Germans
sent the Triumph to the bottom and
returned to their submarine.
