March's general review of the situation was in substance as follows: March Reviews Situation Last Monday the Germans began an attack which covered a sixty-mile front. About one-half of it was in the very hilly country between Chateau-Thierry and Rheims and the rest of it in the Champagne, extending from Rheims to the Argonne. In the Champagne, the positions were held by the French and by one American division - the 42nd - plus a regiment of colored troops from the 93rd. The penetrations there was slight. The Champagne district was under charge of the French general, Gouraud, one of the most striking personalities of France. He wears five bless stripes, has lost one arm, is a man of determined character whom the French call "Tres Soldat" - every inch a soldier. German Drive Halted Along the Marne between Chateau-Thierry and Rheims the Germans made an advance of four to five miles on a twenty-three mile front. The terrain there is difficult, with hills and woods. This general movement has been brought to a standstill. The Germans in their offensive claimed they had as an object the nutcracker process of squeezing off Rheims which is very well organized for defense, even to the extent of house to house defence, which had heretofore made it impossible to get at. As soon as the German advance between Chateau-Thierry and Rheims had been brought to a standstill, Foch struck hard along the western side. The front over which we advanced was twenty-two miles. The maximum penetration as reported officially was to a depth of ten miles with a general penetration of seven miles. In this advance there were six American divisions and one regiment of colored troops. (The regular colored troops referred to above were on the Allied right, but March did not designate the particular outfit between Soissons and Chateau-Thierry.

Launch New Drive Here for Marines When the United States Marines were rushed up to reinforce the French near Chateau-Thierry at the tip of the German salient menacing Paris - a job "they performed in a way that sent a thrill of admiration for them over the civilized world - one thing was known by the Allied commanders. That was that no matter what the Marines were called upon to do they could "handle the situation." Everybody knows that the Marines have that reputation. That's why they comprise one of the best departments of the service. The Government has ordered an increase in the strength of the Marine Corps of 75,500 men and officers and for that reason a drive all over the State has been started to continue for one week.

It bore a 1914 city license tag which records show was issued to James W. Barker, 33 Evergreen street. But Barker said he gave away his bulldog several years ago.

Makes Move to Erect Big Bridge Here The Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company has applied to the Public Service Commission for permission to erect the new double-track bridge over the river here at the site of the present single-track bridge. August 7 a hearing will be held before the commission when the detailed plans for the new structure will be presented. The approval is only a matter of form. The city recently gave its permission to the company to proceed, provided that any consequential damages at the city end of the bridge would be borne by the company. The Water Supply Commission will also be asked for its approval and will probably grant it. The matter must be presented to the Water Supply Commission because the new bridge will have double the number of piers the present bridge has.
