Arrival of American troops in France has kept pace with the expectation of the war department, Secretary Baker said on Friday, in the first statement he has ever authorized in connection with the progress being made in increasing General Pershing's forces. Mr. Baker declined, however, to ' state the number of troops forwarded, or to indicate whether he anticipated delay from this time. Movement of the forces, he said, depended on two elements the training und equipment of the men and the availability of ships. Mr. Baker indicated that an .official statement of the number of American troops in France yas not to be expected at any time during the war. lie caused an inquiry to be made of the military censor. Major General McIntyre, however, which may result in more liberal regulations as to publication of the destinations of regiments, brigades or companies which are engaged in action on the front from time to time. If there is no sound military reason for suppressing that information, Mr. Baker said, he desired to give . it out The Secretarys attention was called to the fact that the British official statements recently have named at least by geographical designation the troops used in various offensives.

Already the British line describes an arc from the west to the southwest of Cambrai with the lower point resting near Fontaine Notre Dame, two and miles southwest of the town. Although the stroke of General Byng was delivered over a front of thirty-tw- o miles, from the Scarpe river to St Quentin, It was In the center and in the direction of Cambrai that it reached its greatest strength. Here the wedge has been driven more than six andMialf miles, and In the driving of It numerous towns and villages have fallen Into the hands of the British, many of them having been deserted by the Germans, who fled in disorder, leaving equipment and stores.

The operations of the cavalry are described as most brilliant, the horsemen making gallant charges into villages and even against machine gun positions, the entire gun crews of which were shot of sabred.
