Washington, Aug. 10.—"Thin is the time for the greatest effort; to Steep the enemy running." General Mnrrh, chief of at*IT, sum marized thu* today to newspaper men the situation in France. Standing be fore the great military map* at the war department that show clearly where the German ia being bertten back he pointed out that the great battle front via rapidly being stra ightened out from Rheims to the sea. "They have not yet," he said, "got ten hack to the original Hindenhurg line, where the German began his ad vances thi;- year. We still have some territory to gain, so when statements appear that indicate the war is over at this point, discourage it. "Thia is the time for the greatest effort, to keep the enemy running. That is the reason the United States ia being called upon for increased man power, that is the reason we wart the age limits for the draft lowered and raised to get more men. "It is no time to talk about the war being over. It is the time to hit hard. "The greatest advantage of the whole thing has been the change of the allies from the defensive to the of fensive, which ia a great military as set. "We have the enemy guessing now instead of guess ng ourselves." From a confidential report General March read the following account of the situation on the British-French front south of Albert "Allied troops found little opposi tion ani! have raptured more prisoners than it is possible for them to han dle, inc'ud'ng a German general and his rtaff, showing elements of surprise attack. Briti :h report their prison camps back of Amiens so full that it is impossible to hold more. The al lies have raptured all the artillery in this cctor." De?c ibing the effect of the allied opperations, General March *aid: "Surveying the battle line broadly, you ee that there have been a num ber of places where we have- been nibbling along the Ve^le river front, acqui ing a foothold on the northern bank, but have not yet. attempted to go up the slopes on the north side where German intrenchments are sop posed to I*. Thi.t part of die line has remained stationary. "As tne lino rta* stationary, Foth ha» Kept up hi* pressure on the enemy working or the perfectly sound principle, that when you , et an eno my goinir, you keep him i oinc; nev er irive him a chcnce to re iperate or think it over, keep on hittii » him. "On Autfuect 8, a comhir <1 British an J French force commanded by Field Marshal Haig, attacked on a front of L'O mile*," east of Amien*. This ter I rain i flat, almost level, and while •iime time acn there were small 'clump* of wrMkli, all of these undoubt ' edly had lieen levele I long hy artil lery file, -ii we counted that country j KM practically level with very little natural impediment to nn advance. There mv a few valley* perpendi cular to the front of our advancing armie* instead of parallel to it. no that the advancing troop* can go right through the valley*. "The enemy were apparently taken j i-y *urpri*e and ma le no c**ential i.pp<>Hit on in the center, confining ' their atrong re»istanre to their flanks Hitting the big nalient on a Urail« front we puihad it in an average of eight mite*, ami reduced it from an outer nalient to an inner aalient Thut gives u» a salient corresponding to the Mnrne salient ami places the enemy in a liad position. The advance of tire British ami Prenrh at thin point comes up ho that they are fretting into control, or threatening, the railroad line of communication* which at that point run up from the Mrntdidier sec tor to fhaulnes. "On the Flanders salient the e.iemy August !» wan withdrawn on the southern sector of the salient, south of Merville and Brtiah nrrupied that ter ritory. Then general effect of lhe:<e movement.* in straightening out of the line everywhere." Answering a question a. to the 42nd division record. General March said. "The Rainbow division had its com bat training in the Lorraine sector north of Luneville. It left that posi tion to arrive east of Rheims where on July 15, it helped break the main Ger man attack. When the Frenrh-Anor ican counter offensive was launched on the Marne Reliant the division ap peared there shortly in relief of other units. Our report* indicate the fol lowing: "In eight days of battle the 42nd division ha* forced the passage of the Ourcq taken prironer* from six ei.emy division*, met, r >rted decimated, a crack division of the Prussian guards, also a Bavarian division, and one oth er division and driven hack the ene my'* lines for 1« kilometer*."

But now we understand that on Saturday it will pus into new hands. Mr. Behow the owner, having con signed it to the United States Land Co., it has been subdivided into small tracts and will be soU to the highest bidder, Saturday the 17th at 4 P. M.

FRENCH ARE AMAZED AT RIFLE FIRE OF THE AMERICAN MARINES. That Men Should Fir* Deliber ately, Um Their Sight* and Adjust Their Range Beyond the French — Graphic Eye Witness Account of Fighting at Chateau Thierry in June. Washington, Auk. 10.—A graphic eyowitness account of the fighting near Chateau Thierry in which Ameri can division*, including the murine hr'gnde, took part early in June wan made public toda/ hy the navy depart ment. It is ill the form of a long let ter from an officer of the marine* to Major General Harnett, commander of the corps, and the story told is of peculiar significance a*, in tho opin ion of many officers here, it *>« the utund of the Americans along Una line which saved Paris. The name of the writer is not disclosed. The Americans were rushed to the line in motor trucks to support the hard press ad French, and on June 1 the marine brigade deployed on a sup port po*ition, the battalion comman ded hy Maj. Thomas Holcomb hurry ing into line a* the men climbed off the trucks. The Germans were com ing on and on June 2 the French drop ped bark, passing hrough the Ameri can lines. "We had install art ourselves in a house in La Voie Chatel, a little vil lage between Champillon and Lucy Le-Bs-age," the writer nay*. "From one Aide we had observation of the north and' when the Germans attack ed at 5 o'clock, we had a box Mat. "They were driving at kill 165 from the north and northeast and they came out on a wonderful clear day, in two columns across a wheat field. We could i-ee the two thin brown column.* advancing in perfect order until two third* of the column*, we judged were 1 in view. "The rifle and machine gun fire were incessant and overhead shrapnel was bursting. Then the shrapnel came on the target at each shot. "The white patches would roll away and wo < ould see that st.rne of the col umns wr—e st'll there, slowed up. and it seemed per fee suicide for them to , >ry. You couldn't begrudge a tribute | to their plurk, at that. "Then, under that deadly fire, end a barrage of rifle and m.irhinc gun fir*, the BocS*o stopped. It rj:i toe much for any men. They burrowed in or broke to the cover of the wood and you could foilow them by the ripples of the green white as tkey raced for ! cover." Thj writer declared the rifle fire of the marines amazed the French who ! saw it. "That men should fire deliberately and ime their sight* and adju.'. their • range," he says, "was beyond their experience. It must have had a tell - i ing effwt on the mora'e of the Boche, j for it was something they n*d not I counted on. A* a -.natter of fact, after pushing hack tic weakened Krench and then running up against a stone wall defence. they were lit erally 'up in the air' ar.d more than ! (topped. We found that out later | from prisoner*, for the German* nev er k. ew we were in the front line when they made that attack. They were absolutely mystified at the man ner in which the defense stiffened up until they found that cur troops were jin line." I The letter tells in detail of the days ; of fighting that followed. It describe* a dayhrht rharire agsinst a machine gun poet and of scouting raids up ' i June ft, when the whole brigade swui.g forward to straighten out the Una. This action resulted in the capture of Bellrati wood. Major Sibley's battalion of the six th marina regiment led the way here with Holcomb in support. The woods were alive with enemy machine guns. That night, word came back that Ro bertson with 20 men of the 9<?th com pany had taken Bouresches, breaking through a heavy machine run bnr rage to enter the town. Robertson fighting with an automatic in either haml w»« hit three time* before he woold allow himself to lie taken to the rear. Speaking of individual act* of bra very, the writer say* Duncan, a com pany commander "l>efore he wan mow ed down, had hi* pipe in hi* mouth and was carrying a stick." Later, he add*. "Dental surgeon Osborne pick ed up Dunrari and with a hospital corps man had just gained some shel ter when a shell wiped all three out. Private Dunlavy, killed later captu red an enemy machine (run in Boures ches, which he turned on the foe with great effort, while at another point, young Timmcrman charged a machine gun at the point of the bayonet and sent in 17 prisoner* at a clip. When the enemy made a stand at one point in the woods, Sibley's bat talion was withdrawn and for an hour 50 American and French batteries hammered the wood. Hughes, with the tenth company, then went in and hia first message wan that the wood had been rut to mince meat. Overton heading the 76th company. Anally charged the rock plateau, killing or' capturing every gunner anil all the guns with few casual itiea. The 82nd company loet all its offi cers, and Major Sibley and his adju tant, Lieutenant Bellamy, re-organ ized it under Are, and charged a ma chine gun nest at the most critical time in all the fighting. "I wonder if ever an ouUlt," the let ter says, "went up against a more desperate job.s'.uck to it so gamely without sleep at times on short lo tions with men and officers going off like flies, and I wonder if in all our long list of rallant deeds there ever were two better stunts tSan the work of Sibley and Holcomb."
