view of Entire War Situation is Made by General—He Anticipates Worse Fighting

Washington, June 22.—Nine hundred thousand men have been shipped across the seas, General March told newspaper correspondents at the week conference today* These include the trobps shipped from all American ports of embarkation. The United^! States today is five m&n&is ahead of its program for placing an army in France, General March said.
The figures on American troop shipments are significant since General MarchV^ at his first conference last week fixed the number shipped at more than 800,000. ThiLyJ addition of 100,000 during the week showing the rate of progress that is being made. '1
While the general battle situation looks good today, General March said, thd 1
present lull on the western front means only that German combatives are being re*r 1 formed for another drive. Viewing the whole situation, including the Italian front, the chief of staff said thkt jthe central powers again were held on all fronts.

SEMENOFF MEN HAVE RETREATED INTO MANCHURIA
Chinese Authorities Have Demanded He Disarm and
Surrender Munitions.
X<ondon, Jupe 22.—-The Times cor-pupond^ntutTheHA|fiie-4s informed through a Dutch source tftatt<the rem-ntuvtaTof Some severely tried Austrian regiments arrived in Vienna on the 16th, many of the men being slightly wounded.. These troops' were employed to patrol the city but their bearing was . such that they were withdrawn. All public buildings in Vienna are now guarded by cavalry.
The Times correspondent cites information apparently from Vienna that the collection of the harvest In Austria. Germany and Hungary will in the future'be strictly a state affair. Austria enters .the new harvest year Without any supplies whatever.
APPARENTLY DECREASING; LOSS TO AUSTRIAN FORCES 120,000
.- ••• ;•; * fa-.v
Sighting on the Plave line ap'par-e'ntly is decreasing as the Austrian offensive enters upon its second week. In the mountains there has been lltUe activity for several days but the Aus-tr)ans are reported to be concentrating- large bodies of men there presumably for another attempt to push southward to the Venetian Plain. Italian resistance and counter-attacks, aided by. the sudden rise of the river, have played havoc. with Austrian hbpes;. of -;$apturirig Montello. and domit Uing the plain. Slowly the enemy on the important plateau is being driven back toy the Italians and his effbrts' at other points have been driven back or repulsed. The lighting on Montello continues intense.
At the mouth of the Plave the Haitians have made gains and It is apparent the Austrian! have been unable to eapture the angle between the old Plave'and the' ,Fossetta" Canal, which they reached, north' of Capo Sile. West' of San .Dona di Plave where tHe canal leaves the river, the Italians have driven back the AisHtriaas. VI-enna claims the repulse of all ai-•ticksi,."v."
A statement from the; office of the Italian premier says there was no Infantry fighting;-Friday and that the situation' is unchanged.
Austrian losses ha^e been heavy and an Italian newspaper estimates them at 130,060. More than forty Austrian divisions have been engaged on tlve battle line and thirty of these have suffered • heavily. A report re-celved iri I^ondon Is to the onset that twelve German divisions are to pe sent to Italy to fake the, place of an equal number of Austrian divisions to be transported to FTanee.
Behind the fighting front the dual raonarchy is eeething with discontent over the fOod ; situation which apparently shows, no signs of improvement. Dr. von Beydler, the' Austrian premier, who has attempted to resign several times iii the past year, is reported on the way to Austrian headquarters to place his resignation In the hands of Emperor Charles. . Much anti-German feellng ls beiiig manifested in VJenna and in Hungary. Ip the AnstrlaitieapttM the pollee have-prevented an attempted attaek on the. OehntMi embassy. \

Northern Italy, Friday, June 21.— (By tbe Associated Press).—Cavalrymen, artillerymen and airmen are giving effective aid to the Italian infantry, Jn driving back the Austrians toward thePiave.
One of the principal activities of allied aviators who now have been joined by American flyers is to prevent Austrian airmen from delivering sacks of bread and other dry- stuffs to the Austrian troops on the/western side' of the Plave where the. Austrians still are fighting tenaciously.
Around Montello and in >the region of the "lower Plave Italian cavalry is being used to helR to push the enemy 1>ack.' - They. are aided by' armored ears carrying machine gunsl
The'rising waters of the Plave and the activity of the Italian artillery are making it difficult for the Austrians to obtain food; While the ter carries. some bridges away and damaged others, the gunners are sinking boats and hammering the damaged bridges and floats^

Secretary Of State May Have To Ask For
Emergency Funds Bismarck, N. D.. June 22.—The
secretary of state has asked the attorney general's office for an opinion as to whether the recent ruling of the supreme court, holding unconstitutional the section of the motor vehicle registration act giving the secretary of state unlimited authority to engage assistants and agents, leaves him with any funds to conduct the registration department of his office. The attorney general has not yet ruled on this matter. If it is held that the secretary of state cannot utilize any portion of the motor vehicle fees for this purpose, it will be necessary for the emergency commission to make an appropriation which will tide the registration deptrtment over until the end of the year. Fortunately 90 per cent of the registrations for this year have been made, and there no longer Is a necessity for such a great force as was required early in the year, when thousands of applications were coming In daily.

American troops have done well •* Cf wherever the test of battle has oome- % thus far. General' March said regard-^ i; ing the character of the troops, wheth-4 v> er regulars, national guard, national ; army or marines.
The fight at Cantlgny, the most lm* I portant engagement In which Amerl«J can troops have participated, he . said.'' had been fought by the first division., commanded by Major General Robert'^ L. Bullard. This division Is now, he said, a thoroughly trained hlgh-gnde unit and was the first American division to reach France.
At Cantigny, General March infantry and artillery operated in cl< co-operation to achieve the victory., > showing the successful work of .the? '' i staff officers upon that co-operation^ depended. The fight clearly showed, < he said, that the training of the(
American general staff officers had reached the point where the system would work under battle strain. " *
One of the most striking things on { the western front, the cliief of-etalt/ declared. wa«. the sqprapwjjmportan**, pt a unified command; Advocated, he added; by* Prestdear;-,. Wilson and Cartled^through under the;,,. "J
president's constant pressure, uiltlti unity of command was realized In the* appointment of General Foch. General March regarded that as one of the " ' greatest single military achievements :
of the allies which was already show-ing its effect in the fighting. . ' .
hem Fighting. ..'.v ... „ i During the past week. General
March said, the fighting in France -has been of a minor character. Interest for the allies has centered on .the-' Italian front where the Austrian drive at two points on the Piave line penetrated deeply enough to cause concern. That offensive has now been checked, he added, and the swollen waters.of the Plave aided in repelling the at---tack. The entire Austrian bridge ays- v' tem on the lower Piave was washed away.
General March deprecated dims- ' sion of the participati9n of American combat forces on the Italian front for'J';,.>' the present. -
Some American ambulance sections -are in Italy but the chief pi stall thought it unwise to. disclose any other movement in prospect for that front < at this time. ' ' j
The fighting around Chate&u-Thier- ' ry where American marines distln^ guished themselves was confined orlg-K i inally to a small force of machine gun units, General March said, under com- •, mand of a major whose nuns had not I been reported. The 12,000 marine* composing the marine brigade from ] which these units were taken is cpm*^ maiided, he said, by Brigadier General' James G.
