T last great Austro-German of-

tod General Cadorna's line from the
vm front and along the Venetian

iroops participated in this operation
and it was not lor many .weeks . that
tie Italians were able to stay the ad
vance. About the middle of November,
tie Piave battle began along a nine
ty mile front in northern- Italy and
French and British troops were hur
ried to reinforce the shaken Italian
army. The crisi swas passed about
the first of December, and since that
time there has been heavy fighting, in
which the Italians and their allies
carried out many successful counter
attacks.
There have been insistent cries from
Germany for Austrian action along
the Italian front, to co-ordinate with
the German offensive in the western
zone, and for months past the Italians
have been preparing for Just such a
blow as apparently is now being
struck. The Italian army has been re
equipped, and General Diaz has suc
ceeded General Cadorna as the commander-in-chief.

Infantry Is Quiet, But Heavy Guns Are Active.
Checked In their plunge against the
French: positions from Montd,idier to
the Oise, the Germans have not resum
ed their offensive on the western front.
There have been patrol encounters at
various points, with the allies im
proving their poistions, notably in the
Villere Cotterets region, southwest of
Soissons.
The inactivity of the infantry, how
ever, has given place to heavy bom
bardments along the front. In this
work the American forces have had a
part. Angered by a gas attack against
them by the Germans .the Americans
launched thousands of gas shells
against the enemy. The Americans on
the Marne and Picardy fronts have al
so given the Germans no rest from
patrol incursions.

that not many days will elapse before

DANIELS ASKS INCREASE
Transmlta Letter From Benson "nd
Palmer Showing Why the En
listed Personnel Should be
Railed to 131.4S5 Men.
Washington, June 15. Upwards of
40,000 men will be needed to man the
great fleet of warships which the
United States will turn out during the
next fiscal year, the House naval com
mittee was advised today by Secretary
Daniels.
In asking the House to concur in the
Senate amendment to the naval ap
propriation bill, increasing the navy's
enlisted personnel from 87,000 to 131,
485 men, Mr. Daniels transmitted let
ters from Admiral Benson, chief of
naval operations and Rear Admiral
Palmer, chief of the bureau of naviga
tion, showing-in detail why this In
crease is necessary.
The correspondence evealed that new
warships are being turned out .faster,
than they can be manned with the pres
ent limited personnel and should there
be a change of naval tactics and the
nation be forced to a defensive in
stead of offensive fight, the navy
would be seriously handicapped ln
handling the fleet against an enemy.
Admiral Palmer-said In his letter
that a shortage of officers of higher
grade .should be. made up, pointing, out
that American destroyers now are
opef atlng " in the war zone without a
designated . commander other than the
British officer, Admiral Bailey. The
submarine chafer force in foreign wa
ters 4s commanded by a captain, the
admiral sawhereas there should be
at least one rear admiral and prefer
ably two for this force. '
The American divisions or armored
cruisers are also without a flag officer
and there is no , flag officer for the
division of super-dreadnaughts which
rin Via added to the navy within a
year. Admiral Palmer also pointed
out that the admirals and vice-admirals
In command of American .fleets
should have read admirals as chiefs of
staff. " ; ; ' , '
"Merely to man our fleet properly
and to make our war organization ef
ficient," Admiral Palmer's letter said,
"we must have , Imemdiately 27 addi
tional rear admirals by July 1. 1918,
six more In addition to those we have

point against which the blow will be
struck, Paris believing that the Ger
mans will continue their thrust to
ward the capital .either by a. contmu
atlon of the fighting west of the Oise
or a new assault farther south toward
the Marne.
. London, however, believes that the
German drives along the Aisne and
east of Montdidier were for the pur- ,
pose qi drawing me tuneu reserves iu i
those theatres of the war and then
hurling the decisive blow either at

in the hope of reaching . the ; channel

Channel Ports First Objective of
the Germans.
.Washington 'June 15. To give, the
allies a mastering superiority of num
bers over the German Invaders Ameri
can troops are being rushed to France
as rapidly as transport tonnage will
permit. When the purpose will be
be realized cannot' now" be foretold but
more than 800,000 men have, been sent
oyer seas and this number will be in
creased to' 1,000,000 early Jn July.
These facts were announced today
by General JPey ton C. March, chief of
staff,; in inaugurating the govern-mnt8-.3iw
- policy.', or -giving : newspa-'
per Men a - weekly? suinmary of ,battle
conditlbfis. , ; '.;:;v ,
General '.March drew '.a. graphic picture-
Qfa Single, gigantic .campaign ex-'
tending from'B-helms to.-the. sea where
the allied liie"h.4v6,been battered
back in foiir successive phases. The
great wedge of assault lias now in
creased the 'allied lines 66 miles from
Rheims to .Ypres... ' . ".
"In a condition' ; of this, kind" said
General March, "w;h ere a new line has
to be held ' and1 where "the attacks of
the Germans,. have , ; -been' made with
such large. ' forges as they have ,the
importance of getting American troops
to the front" is' more and more pre
eminent. '
"We have now passed the 800,000
mark in troops. shipped overseas."
The extent of the American troop
movement . was particularly striking
because Secretary ..Baker stated less
than a week agothat "more than 700,
000" had embarked. The fact that the
figure had increased approximately
100,000 in less than seven days drew a
quick question as .to when definite
superiority in man power might be
attained.
"The matter of the number of troops
on the western front," General March
replied, "is a question that must be
considered with reference not only to
the enemy divisions which have been
known to be there all along but with
the potential increase which might be
attained by bringing divisions from
the eastern front.
"It is impossible to predict a day
say a month ahead of any other defi
nite time- when. a mastering superior
ity will be in the hands of the allies;
but the number of troops we are send
ing across now is limited only by the
capacity of the ships to carry them
and we intend to keep that up."
General March made it clear that
there is no doubt in his mind or in
that of the allied military leaders that
the channel ports were the main ob
jective of the whole German effort.
"The .four drives," he said "one
beginning June 9 are all part of the
common scheme! of offensive. Consid
ering as a whole the succession of at
tacks the first penetrated the allied
line . on the Swiss frontier some 36
miles into Picardy the second some 15
miles into Flanders and the third a
distance of 38 miles further along the
Marne. . Under the present drive the
line has been penetrated an average
distance of from 5 1-2 to six miles.
"One striking feature in connection
with this whole advance . is the exten
sion of front which .the allies "have
had to cover as a result. The total
stretching of the line from Rheims to
the sea was 66 miles. '
' "In order to hold that extra line the
allies have had to have more troops
than they had at the start. '
"Obviously the objective of the Ger
man advance is first the channel ports,
which would make - It necessary for
England -in shipping troops to France
to go further out to sea and a longer
distance,-making the turn around lon
ger and slowing: up the movement, and
making v it more dangerous ;secohd,
Paris : which, of course sis a great
strategic objective because of Its "im
portance ' sentimentally and practical
ly to the people of France.-

CLASS 1 DWINDLING FAST
Heavy Calls to Service During
First Six Months of 1919
Very Probable.
Washington. , June. 15. Three mil
lion Americans will be under arras by
next August 1, the - senate military
committee das told today by Provost .
Marshal General Crowder. ,
Extension of the age limits in th
army draft will be necessary, Genera
Crowder said, if the present rate ot
draft calls is continued.. He estimated
that all the men in Class 1 would be
exhausted soon after next January 1.'
General Crowder said that 1, 347,000
of the 2,428,000 men placed in Class,
already have been called to the colors.
He estimated that some 400.000 addl '
tional men -for the first class will b ,
secured from the men -who - registered
last June 5 and that another 200,000
will be added by the re-classiflcatlon
of men in the re-examination of th
questionnaires n-w being made. ;
- Requisitions from the draft to com
plete the 3,000,000 total by August .1, .
General Crowder said, have been made.
Of these 2,000,000 will be draft regis
trants and the others volunteers and
national guardsmen.
"Everybody thinks there will b
heavy calls during the first six months
of 1919," was a significant statement
made by General Crowder. i
General Crowder approved the gen
eral principle of the bill introduced by
Senator France, extending the regis
tration ages to from 18 to 45 years,
thereby providing additional men for
military and industrial service. He i
did not approve the age limits fixed ln
the bill. t
After outlining the plans of the wai
department for additional calls Gen
eral Crowder said that at the present
rate Class 1 will be exhausted by the
end of the present year and that un
less the age limits are extended and
another registration held, it will be
necessary early next year to call men '
in Class 2 and probably soon thereaf
ter in Class 3. ;
Final figures of classification of th
first registration totaling 8,869,447,
were" given. The registrants wen
shown to have been divided as fol
lows: Class, one, 2,428,729; Class two, 509.
666; ' Class three, ' 427,870; Class fourt
3,483,326; Class five, 1,839,956.
General Crowder -submitted figures
showing the progress of the draft this
year. A total o f 1,347,512 men, all
from Class 1, will have been called by
the end of July divided by months as
