Washington. — Five fully equipped American armies in Europe is the as tonishing prospect disclosed to the House military committee by Gen. March, chief of the United States army staff. The greater part of these armies will go to France, hut It is pointed out at the War Department that if Austria, Turkey and Germany should determine to die in the trenches, some of the American field armies will be found on the Italo-Austrian and the Macedonian front Secretary of War Baker, speaking some time ago about the desire to help Italy, stated that there-would be no limit to the assistance as soon as the circumstances warranted the dis path of forces to her consistent with her demands» Specflically Gen. March stated that there would be in existence by July I, 1919, an army of 4,800,000 men, aud he has, therefore, stated that a field army consists of approximately 1,000, 000 men. There are, he said, 3,200.000 men "under arms," of which nearly one and three-quarters millions are in France. Gen. March's plan is to have called to the colors between now ana next July 2,700,000 men, which, added to the 3,200,000 now under arms, will make a grand total, with all allow ances for casualties and rejections, of 4,800,000. It is believed by officers that with the constantly increasing monthly figures of laying down the troops in Europe the whole number of the draft necessary to raise the 2,700,000 will be in Europe on various fronts by the middle of July. The tre mendous number of Americans to be under arms in Europe will make it necesary to further classify the total into "groups of field armies," which is the next and highest possible clas sification. Simultaneously with Gen. March's statements to the House committee the War Department issued a state ment which calls for a great expan sion in the air service. The magnifi cent programme of Gen. March is evi dently based on the proper equipment of every arm of the service and an. unlimited number of planes of all binds is necessary to complete the ef fectiveness of the American troops in the field. It was doubtless due to the needs of the colossal army to cross the seas by July 1 or next year that the air service has made arrange ments to fill its ranks with men from all classes of the draft Bishop To France. Boston. — The Rev. Dr. Edwin H. Hughes, resident bishop of the Meth odist Episcopal church, left here ior an Atlantic port and will sail for France within a few days. He will establish headquarters in Paris and will have direct charge of Metnodist chaplains at the front. Mere Colleges Selected. Washington. — Twenty-two addi tional colleges have been authorised by the War Department to organise units of the Students' Army Training Corps in October. Among them are: Southwest Texas State Normal School, Texas; Union University. Tennessee; Oklahoma A. A M. Coî Aviater Is Cremated.

London. — The British have gained ground in the neighborhood of Holuo.a village, north of St. Quentin, accord ing to Field Marshal Haig's report. A German post west of La Bassec was captured. New posts were estab lished northeast of Neuve Chapelle and in the neighborhood of Ploeg steert. Another small but important bulge' of the Ypres salient into German ter ritory was forced by the British troops when they attacked on a front of 2,000 yards along the Menin road and drove back the Germans for a distance of 600 yards. This advance carried Field Marshal Haig's men within a mile of Hooge,' which figured In many fierce conflicts in previous fighting. Further south the British at the same time pushed northeast ward of Ploegsteert and established posts 200 yards in advance of the ci 2 line which they had occupied before the German drive began in March. This was the third consecutive day of fine weather and the battlefields are rapidly drying out British troops m the past 24 hours have ceptured 1,301 Germans. There is plenty of evidence that the enemy is expecting further concerted attacks at various places. A captured order points out that the allies must now be expected to strike heavy blows and bewails the lack of assault troops as rendering any prospect of successful counter-attacks or effective resistance impossible. Prisoners recently captured say that every effort hah been made to sup press all news of tbr American suc cess at St. Mihiel, concerning which alarming rumors prevail. The gen eral impression seems to be that the American victory has been so over whelming that the German army com mand does not dare admits the facts. The text of the statement reads: "Our troops made progress in the direction of Le Verguier, nortnwest of SL Quentin. "We improved our positions slight ly and during the night northwest of Hulluch (between Lens and La Bas see) and northwest of Neuve Cha pelle (Flanders front).'' Recognized By Japan.
