WASHINGTON, June 15. To give the allies a mastering superiority of numbers over the German invaders. American troops are being rushed to France as rapidly as transport tonnage will permit. When the purpose will be realized cannot now be foretold, but more than 800,000 men have been sent overseas, and this number will be increased to 1,000.000 early in July. These facts were announced today by General Peyton C. March, chief of staff, in beginning the Government's new policy of giving newspapermen a weekly summary of battle conditions, flattie Map Shown. Facing a great map of the battle lines with every operation of the Ger man offensive shown upon tt. General March drew a graphic picture of a sin pie gigantic campaign extending from Itheims to the sea, where the allied lines have been battered back in four successive phases. The great wedge of assault has now increased the allied lines 66 miles from Rheims to Ypres. "In a condition of this kind," said General March, with a gesture at the map, "where a new line has to be held and where the attacks of the Ger mans have been made with such large forces as they have, the importance of getting -American troops to the front ia more and more pre-eminent. Troops Sent Abroad 84MMMO. "We have now passed the 800,000 mark in troops shipped overseas." The extent of the American troop movement was particularly striking be cause Secretary Baker stated less than a week ago that "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 manpower might be attained. "The matter of the number of troops on the western front," General March replied, "is a question that must be con sidered 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 at tained by bringing divisions from the eastern front. Knmber Depends on Ships. "It is impossible to predict a day say a. month ahead, or other definite time when a mastering superiority will be in the hands of the allies; but the number of troops we are sending across now is limited only by the ca pacity of the ships to carry them, and we intend to keep that up." General March made -tt clear that there is no doubt In his mind or in that of the allied military leaders that the Channel ports are the main objective of the whole German effort. Agafti using the map, as he followed out the strat egy of the one great battle, he outlined the situation- that General Foch is Offensive Scheme Explained. "The four drives," he said one be ginning March 21, the ne-t April 9, the third March 27 and the present one, June 9 are all part of the common scheme of offensive. "Considering as a whole the succession 1 of attacks, the first penetrated the al j. lied line 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 to 6 miles.

The total ' stretching of the line trom Hheims to the sea was 66 miles. "In order to hold that extra line the : allies u-ve 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 troo? to ' France to go farther out to sea and a longer distance, making the turn around longer and Bloving up the movement, and making it more danger ous; second, Paris, which, of course, is a great strategic objecti-e because of its importance, sentimentally and prac tically, to the people of France. "All these drives have been stopped. The present advance is more to straighten out the German line than tt is a military movement with a definite and important objective like Paris, for instance. One Iilne Straightened. "Taking the general location of the advance along the Oise, you will see that between the Picardy and Marne advance we have been holding a re entrant angle which furnishes the dis tance from which a dangerous attack could be made on the flank of the Marne advance. The most desirable thing which Germany could have at this stage would be a straightening out of the line. "That is apparently what ehe had in mind in beginning her advance on June 9. She succeeded in that, moving for ward for a distance of six miles, and the last information we have indicates that west of Soissons ehe still is attack ing with the idea of finally straight' ening out her line along the general front. The activities or the Germans are now toward Paris, but as for the im portance of the objective from a mill tary standpoint, the capture of the channel ports would have a more im mediate effect upon the prosecution oi the war than a movement on Paris." In connection with the advance to ward Paris, however. General March points out that the farthest point they had thus far reached this year was 20 Va miles farther away from Paris than the point of their nearest approach to that city in 1914. While General March did not say so. It was evident that he anticipates fur ther efforts to complete the reduction of the. Compiegne salient before the major movement toward the channel is resumed. Other officers feel that the renewal of initely mark the beginning of the final the assault on the British lines will def stage of the battle, but they also be lieve that the German strategists may not be willing to leave the allies in possession of strong points like Com piegne and its surrounding forests, which would be in the rear and on the flank of the thrust toward the coast. Under the management of Mrs. W. L. Wood, the newly established Red Cross salvage bureau is rapidly being shaped for effective work. The bureau Is planned as a permanent Institution to be run until the close of the war, and. as it is expected to grow into a state wide activity, the foundations are be ing laid on broad lines. The main receiving station is at 80-82 Third street, corner of Oak. This is the old Portland Trust Company build ing, which has been secured through the courtesy of Emery Olmstead. Dur ing the past week the building has been cleaned, shelves and counters have been made and "installed by Frank Bell, who Is to be superintendent of the station. Mr. Bell is giving his entire time to the work of the salvage bureau, making this his war work. Mr. Bell has been assisted during the week by Harrison Peoples, another patriot, who has been contributing his services to the Red Cross shop ever since its opening, last October. An office force of women workers is being organized, with Mrs. S. Mur ray at the head of this bnanch. Mrs. Murray will have the direction of af fairs at the main receiving station, and her staff will be a large and efficient one. An expert bookkeeper will lay out a system of accounts end a card-filing system for keeping track of all collections and of all donors. Schools and other organizations will be given credit ton everything turned over to the bureau. Miss Laura Smith's room at the Ladd School has already turned in a large amount of tinfoil. To aid in the collection of salvage. a donated truck and automooue serv ice is arranged. Mrs. Holt Wilson Is the efficient chairman for this depart ment. The fire stations have been des ignated as sub-stations, and salvage may be left at any one of these, or at the main receiving station. Those unable to deliver their donations may call the main receiving station. Main 177, and arrangements will be made to call for salvage. More than 20,000 dodgers, containing lists of articles which may be sal vaged, have been distributed through the schools of the city, with a request to the children that they be taken home and saved for reference. Colista Murray Cowling, the well-known illus trator, is designing a series of attrac tive posters with the motto, "Save your waste." Copies of these posters are to be made by art students and will be hung in apartment-houses, elevators and public buildings. In an effort to bring the subject of salvage before the public a large and representative committee has been called to meet on Tuesday, June 18, at 1:30 P. M. at the receiving station. 80-82 Third street, for a discussion of the subject and to hear the plans of the management. Members receiving noti fication of this meeting are requested to be present at that time. AH marketing of salvage collected for the Red Cross must be handled by the Red Cross Salvage Bureau. Mrs. Milton Kahn has charge of this im portant work and inquiries from pros pective buyers should be sent to her, care of the Red Cross Salvage Bureau. TACOMA, Wash., June 15. (Special.) Despite the fact that the State Pub-. lie Service Commission has permitted the Puget Sound Navigation Company to Increase its boat fare between Taco ma and Seattle, the matter may not end there. A. H. Denman. who as a private citizen sought to prevent the advance, assisted by others, may take the case to the courts. At a hearing held before the commis sion a week ago Joshua Green, presi dent of the navigation company, ad mitted that the earnings of the T acorn a- Seattle run were used to balance defi cits made on other Sound runs and that he charged fuel oil bought on con tract for 72 cents a barrel at 11.50 a barrel on the books because the latter figure was the going price.

First British Sea Lord Emphasizes Fact That Present Method of Fighting German Subma rine Menace Is Best. LONDON. June 15. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Archibald S. Hurd. the Brittdh naval writer, has obtained from Vice-Admiral Sir Roslyn Wemyss. the British first sea lord, his opinion upon the German submarine raid off the American coast and its effect upon the naval situation generally. Secrecy In an essential element of success in ail warfare, and particularly In naval warfare, but there are times when a chief of staff can speak with necessary reserve without giving in formation to the enemy. "This development should not be tbken very seriously," the first sea lord said, in reply to a general Inquiry an to what importance ho attached to the German sinking of shipping off the American coast. "If I were Inclined to bet I should say there l.as not been more than one submarine off the American coast. Blockade Deemed Impossible. "The Germans cannot hope to main- am anything in the character of a blockade. The distance Is too great from their bases. The central powers have formed a blockade in Europe running down from the North Sea to the Adriatic and to he point where the Dardanelles de bouches into the Mediterranean. Any ubmarine to reach the American coast as to pass either to the north or outh of the British Isles or along the Mediterranean where Gibraltar stands sentinel over the narrow exit. We must fight the U-boat in the nar row seas. In other words, we must cen- rallze. concentrating all our forces In what is really the decisive area. American Outcry Expected. "The Germans, you may be sure. have been studying the charts and In sending one of their so-called sub marine cruisers to the American coast they thought to raise an outcry in the jnitea states against this Dolicv of fighting the submarines. "I judge that they have already iaiiea in neir purpose. It looks as though they had merely brought the war home to the American people, re minding them that they have a com mon Interest In conquering the power which Invented this modern form of piracy. That represents another de feat for the Germans. Discussing the relations of the two navies. Admiral Wemyss said: On the broad lines of strategic policy, complete unanimity exists. Ad miral Benson and Admiral Mayo have ootn visitea us and studied our naval plans. N'o officers could have exhibited Keener appreciation of the naval situ atlon. I find It difficult to express the gratitude or the British service to these officers and to Admiral Sims for the support they have given us. I am not exaggerating or camouflaging, to borrow a word of the moment. Our relations could not be more cordial Americana' Fight Praised. i ne American oitlcers and men are first rate." continued the sea lord. "It is Impossible to pay too high tribute to the manner In which they settled down to this Job of submarine hunt ing, ana to the intelligence, resource and courage which they have ex hibited." WASHINGTON. June 15. Benefits derived from united Naval strategy by the Lnlted states and Great Britain were pointed out here today by Navy Department officials, who read with interest the views of First Vice-Ad miral Wemyss on the operation of German submarines off the American coast. 'The Navy is naturally gratified the appreciative words of Admlra Wemyss." said Acting Secretary Roose velt. "The keynote of our naval policy has been a united strategy. "With this in mind the evident Ger man effort to break up concentration In English and French waters by send ing raiding submarines to our own coast has failed utterly In its purpose One submarine, or possibly two at the present time, or even a continuation of the scattered attacks must and will be met on this side by supplementary naval operations without in any w weakening the main effort of hunting the submarines In the narrow seas off Europe or to convoy troop and supply ships across the ocean. 'The British and American nava forces at all points are working, not only in complete harmony, but with constant Interchange of ideas that is improving the efficiency of both services."

I dare say every Dentist of today is working early and late "doing his bit," because he knows The trenches are calling for more and still more of the flower of American manhood and we stay-at-homes must make up in efficiency what we lack in numbers. The part Dentistry is playing in the war drama cannot be overestimated, and the lessons gleaned from this world wide clinic, costly though they are, have proved worth all they cost. Statisticians have figured that as high as 96 per cent of enlisted men had defective teeth, and have deduced that this alarming condition is due largely to high cost of EXPERT dental service. As a means of correcting this evil, they advise SPECIALIZATION none but EXPERTS to attempt SKILLED work. Lower priced workers trained to do MECHANICAL dentistry. This, they predict, will result in a reduction in cost, an improvement in quality of dentistry, and a vast saving of time, both of the patient and dentist. I am naturally pleased to see the theory indorsed by such unquestioned authority and now if some genius in " the profession will produce a substitute for gold for use in crown, bridge and inlay work which will look as well, serve as well and cost much less we will all call him blessed. The Dentist who finds a specific for pyorrhea which ACTS EVERY TIME and is inexpensive will have done his country and profession a great service and assured himself of fame and fortune. Experts versed in the technique of root canal fillings form but 10 per cent of the profession (it has been esti mated) and preparing a cavity for inlay or filling is ' another branch of dentistry in which few excel. There never was a time when skill and efficiency were at such a premium. I am trying hard to "do my bit" locally, but I am frank to say we all need help. Any Dentist Can Cut Prices.
