Washington, June 15.—American troops
sent to France now number more than 800>000,
Chief of Staff March has announced. The num-
ber of troops now being transported is limited on-
ly by the capacity of available ships toxjarry them
he said, “and we will continue shipping along;
this line.”
March ^aid the four German drives so'far are
. pajt of a common sense scheme of offensive. “Up
i to the present,’’ he said, “the extension of the al-
allied front from Rheims to the sea has reached
.60 miles. To hold that line additional troops are
neccessary.”
He said it is obvious that the objective of the
German advance is first the channel ports to slow
up the transportation of troops. The chief of
* staff viewed the present offensive as an endeavor
to staighten out the German lines, rather than an
advance with its definite objective as Paris.

Brooklyn^*Masa, do'
off the Arherican coast is not a serious menace, with
in the opinion of Admiral Weymass, first lord of
the British admiralty, who expressed the opinion!
’ that there was only one submarine in American
waters.
He said German ruthlessness at sea must be
met by centralized warfare in the North Sea and
the Mediterranean. He paid a high tribute to the
co-operation of the American navjr in European *
^waters and said that American ships were also
operating in the Mediterranean and off Gibral-
tar.
He said the Germans can’t hope to maintain >
a blockade. “The Germans have been studying!
charts, and in sending one»of their submarine •
cruisers to the American coast they thought to I
raise an outcry in the United States against the!
policy now pursued of fighting the submarines in’
narrow seas. They failed in their purpose, only',
succeeding in bringing war home to Americans
and reminding them of their common interest in;
onquering the power which invented this mod-i
erh piracy.” ' . | !
Washington, June 15.—Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt points out advantages of united naval
strategy. The German effort to break up concen-
