General March told the House appropriations committee that the enlarged American military program envisions an army of 4,800,000 by next July after deductions for casualties and rejections. The plan accompanies the $7 billion army estimates. Allied forces report heavy fighting on the Hindenburg Line with Haig's troops taking 6,000 prisoners and crossing the main German line near St Quentin. French forces in the south push back Germans and capture 3,000 prisoners.
