U S Forces Abroad Reach 1.6 Million Amid Allied Push
Washington reports General March says more than 1,600,000 American troops have been embarked for all fronts through August 31. Of these, under 10,000 are sent outside France, with about 1.5 million available for Marshal Foch. Battlefront notes show British and French advances across Cambrai and Arras zones, with Pershing’s forces yet largely unused. Observers sense a new Allied blow as German center weakens and retreat lines shift toward the Aisne.
