. Washington. July 20. Genera! March's
weekly statement an. the war today was
; one . of victory. The Franco-American
counter offensive which took Rhelms
;,out of Jeopardy, was along a. front-of
' 22 miles, he said. ; The penetration of
our tr.oops was 10 miles; the average
Jwas seven. The fall of Solsaons Is ex
jpected. momentarily,' Approximately
' Jtd.OOO American troops, or six divisions,
' swept forward along this front. In each
. division, he' explained, were about 27.000
- fighting men. A full division Including
non-combatant., numbers 45,000 men.
I The six divisions were the First,
Second, Third and Fourth regular army
;. end the Twenty-sixth and Twenty
,, eighth national guard.
: American artillery is now bombarding
- Solssons and the fighting along the en
; tire, line Is developing in intensity. The
capture of about 17.000 prisoners and
SAO -guns, as announced In press dis
: patches. Is approximately correct.

And In addition to all this good news
the chief of staff announced that the
number of American troops now in
v France or embarked for there had ex
. ; ceeded the 1,200.000 mark.

nols National Guard troops, under torn
; mand of Major General George Bell Jr.,
who were trained at Camp Logan.
Houston, Texas, have lately been In
the thick of the fighting, though at an
other point In the line. They were the
- men who a short time ago went over
t&e top with Australian troops In a
successful advance, he said. They are
u ow In an English training -sector.

ir any one deserves the term battle

has been wounded five times and has

The French call him Tro Soldaf which
means "Every inch a Soldier." and he
possesses a magnetism and spirit, ac
cording to General Mar9h. which makes
men happy to die for him.

: Thus far the war department has r

In repeating General March's state

Secretary of War Baker today summed

"The German - offensive has ' passed
and in its stead there is the allletf of

OREGON'S
IS 131 CRAFT IN THE
PAST 3 MONTHS
State's Contribution to the Chain
of Ships That Will Hang
Kaiser's Hopes Amounts to
533,700 Tons.
Oregon district has built and launched
131 links in the chain ships that will
hang the kaiser to the masthead of the
waterlogged schooner of false hope, and
In the act, has burled Hohenzollern
dreams of conquest under 583.700 tons
of solid Douglas, fir and steer plate. All
this great production record ' has been
achieved within the brief era of tho
shipbuilding activity in this state, dat
ing to all intents and purposes from
the final days of 1916, or less than
two years.
The history ot Oregon's new' industry
is a remarkable one. On December 13.
1918, there were three yards building
steel ships and six constructing vessels
of wood. Today there are five steel
building plants and 17 wood shipyards,
three of which have not been completed.
Besides having launched 13 vessels, the
Oregon district has kn additional 105
ships on the ways, with a total tonnags
of 370,400. The total amount of un
completed contracts is estimated to be
in the neighborhood of $225,000,000.
Over 4S.00S Workers
It has required a faithful army of
tollers to hang up the Oregon produc
tion record ; that today refuses to bow
before that of any other district of 'near
ly its else in the world. At the time of
the last estimate of the employed popu
lation of shipyards in this district there
were 41,400 men actually engaged ln
building ships, and not including added
thousands who are In industries directly
allied. This number will be rapidly in
creased within the next few months. On
December 10, 1916, there were only ' 4200
me(l gaining livelihood In the building
industry of the Oregon district.
: The list of vessels launched in Ore
gon has been carefully kept by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, which
submits the following as the record of
production by yards:
