AMERICAN FIGHTING MEN IN FRANCE NEARLY MILLION --- Government Sending About Hundred Thousand Men Across the Seas Every Week-Ahead of Progra m -0- Washington, June 22.-Nine hun dred thousand men have been ship ped across the seas. General Marsh told newspaper correspondents at the weekly conference today. These in clude the troops shipped from all American ports of embarkation. The United States is today five months ahead of its program for plac ing an army in France, General March said. The figures on American troop shipments are significant since Gen eral March, at his first conference last week, fixed the number shipped at more than 800,000, the addition of 100,000 during the week showing the rate of progress that is being made. While the general battle situation looks good today, General March said, the present lull on the western front means only that German combat di visions are being reformed for anoth er drive. Viewing the whole situa tion, including the Italian front, the chief of staff said that the central powers were again held on all fronts. American troops have done well wherever the test of battle has come thus far, Gen. Marsh said, regard less of the character of the troops, whether regulars, national guard, na tional army or marines. One of the most striking things on the western front, the chief of the staff, declared, was the supreme importance of a unified , command. This was first advocated, he added, by President Wilson and carried through under the President's con stant pressure until unity of com •nand was realized in the appoint. nent of General Foch. General March regarded that as one of the greatest single military achieve nents of the Allies, which was al .eady showing its effect in the fight ng. . During the last week, General W-arch said, the fighting in France las been of a minor character. In. A BROOD COOP The Price of Eggs Highest in the Histo A D our Country. cmcHreN FEEDER.

That offensive has now been checked, he added, and the swolllen waters of the Piave aid ed in repelling the attack. The entire Austrian bridge system on the Lo'w I er Piave was washed away. Austrian engineers had construct ed seven bridges over which their advance forces could he withdrawn if they were compelled to give up their 'footing on the south bank of the river. At one point, however, in the Montello sector, the Austrians had been unable to replace the bridges up to the last night and their advance forces are in grave danger of capture or annihilation. General March deprecated discus sion of the participation of the Am erican combat forces on the Italian front for the present. Some American ambulance sec tions are in Italy, but the chief of the staff thought it unwise to dis close any other movements in pros pect for that front at this time. CROSS 900,000 MARK "The United States has now cross ed the 900,000 mark of troops ship ped from ports in America," said General March. "This includes men in France and on the high seas, com batants, and non-combatants in which class are counted medical peo ple and the- service of supply. Nine hundred thousand men is a large cqmmand and in it are regular army troops, national guard, national army and a small force of marines. The marines amount to some 12,000 men altogether. We have colored troops over there who are fighting well. So far, whenever the test has come, regardless of the character of the troops themselves, the American troops have done well. "The fighting at Cantigny was handled by our first division, under Major General Robert L. Bullard and was a very striking example of the high class team work between infantry, field artillery and partic- I ularly the staff. It shows that our staff training, which is one of the most important things in connection with a modern army, has reached the point where it can work successful ly. The first division is the first div ision not only numerically but the first division landed in France, as perhaps you all know, and is now a thoroughly trained, high grade unit, and so far has always delivered the goods. "Other units, like the Rainbow div- i ision, which was organized from all the states in the union from national guard "units commanded by Major General C. T. Menoher, is a fine 4 representative from the national guard and has also done high grade work. At the Chatetu Thierry fight ing, although the number of our troops was small, a great deal of the important work was done by the machine gun units under a major whose name I do not know. The t whole brigade at that point was com- I rnanded by General James C. Har- g bard, who was recently General c Pershing's chief of staff and who has been transferred to that brigade. The 26th division is reported as do- I .ng very well. "The general situation looks good. I n The present lull on the west front i- simply means that Germany is re e fitting her combat divisions and pre o paring for another drive. It does not .s mean that the great battle is over d at all.. We can look forward to a 1- renewal and repetition of what we e have been passing through these past few months, as far as German activ ity is concerned. "The United States is about five r months ahead of its program." 0 Mras Burns? Letter. f ----o-- Mlere is a letter that is certain to s prove of interest to the people in this s vicinity, as cases of this sort occur r in almost every neighborhood, and r people should know what to do in like circumstances: Savannah, Mo., Oct. 12, 1916. "I used a bottle of Chamberlain's 1 Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about nine years ago and it cured me of flux (dysentery) I had another at f tack of the same complaint some three or four years ago and a few doses of this remedy cured me. I have recommended Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy to doz ens of people since I first used it." MISSIONARY NOTES When America, like a huge mag SIne, began drawing to her shores each year millions of people from ev ery part of the world, the govern ment stepped in and enacted certain rules and regulations to control the types who entered . These regula tions governed the physical, economic and industrial conditions; but one fundamental law of religious liberty precluded restrictions concerning creeds and religious practices. Now, as some one has aptly said, our very liberty has become a menace. The tide of immigration has brought to our shores hundreds of millions who either have no religious creed or worship idols or ancient cults. Ame rica has a tremendous task before her in the christianizing of these newcomers. The growth of the Buddhist re ligion in America will prove the urgency of the task. In the last decadethese temples have increased at the rate of two a year, and there are now seventy-four in the United States. Buddhist priests sent over' from the east have been conducting" a vigorous missionary campaign for their religion. There are twenty-four Buddhist missions on the Pacific coast, with twenty-five priests, claiming a membership of more than ten thousand. The superintendent resides in San Francisco 'and is con stantly traveling throughout the coast country, conducting evangelis tic campaigns and spreading Buddhist propaganda. With the exception of the independ ent mission in Los Angeles and San Jose, the Japanese Buddhist missions are organized very strongly under one management and one constitu tion. Their efficiency and the rapid ity with which their membership is growing is a testimony to the power of combination. 866cures Headaches,, Biliousness, Loss of Appetite, or that tired ach. ing feeling, due to Malaria or Colds.
