WASHINGTON. Aue. 51. General
Slarch today announced that 32 com
pleted divisions are now in France.
He said that to accomplish this re
markable task it was necessary to
scour the world for ships, while to
maintain the present progress and
achieve the projected 4.000.000 mark
would require the gathering of still
more shipping.
General March said the emergency
fleet corporation is doing splendidly
to catch up. "but the hiring and bar
tering of other ships is necessary to
meet the increased effort."
General March said it was signifi
cant that allied blows between Rheims
and the sea have shortened the from
by 50 miles.
