"It Is ihe opinion of the supreme war council that. In order to carry the war to a successful conclusion, an American army should be formed as early as possible under Its own Nag.

"Signed KOCH. "MII.NK.rt. "PKItSIIINO." Raised Delicate Questions. The various proposals tlur.ng these conferences regarding priority of ship ment, often very insistent, raised ques tions that were not only most difficult but most delicate. On the one hand, there was a critical situation which nniHt be met by immediate action, while, on the other hand, any priority accorded a particular arm necessarily postponed the formation of a distinc tive American fighting force and the means to supply It. Such a force was, 11 my opinion, absolutely necessary to win the war. A few of the allied rep-i-seniatives became convinced that 1 he American services of supply should not ie neglecled but should be developed 11 the ouniinon interest. The success . our divisions during May and June lemon.striiled fully Ilia! It was not ssary to draft .Americans under oreign Hags In order !o ullli.e Amer cati manhood most effectively. When, on March 'Jl. 1018, the f5er i : 1 ri army on the western front began s series of offensives. It was by far ie most formidable force the world : l ever seen. In fV'liting men and i! biiil a sr. ..1 sup ! ority, hut Mils was of less Importance than the advantage In morale. In experience. In training for mobile warfare, and in unity of couiniainl.

(ionium armies were being hs scnibled and trained for the great cam paign w hich was to end the war before America n effort could be brought 10 bear. (U'l innuy s best troops, her most ucccsNful generals and all the experi ence gained In three years of war wvie inoblliied for Ihe supreme effort. The first blow fell 011 the right of the Hellish armies. Including the Junc tion of the liritish and Krench forces. Only the prompt co-operation of the Krench and Itrltlsh general heudo,uur lers stemmed the llde. The reason tor this objective was obvious, and strik ingly Illustrated the necessity for bav lug some one with sulllcieiit authority over all the allied armies to meet such an emergency. Reserves Were Lacking. The lack of complete cooperation among the allies on Ihe western front had been appreciated and the question of preparation to meel a crisis bad already received attention by the su preme war council A plan had been adopted by which each of the allies I would furnish a certain number of di visions for a general reserve tn be tin ' iter the direction 01 ihe military repre j sentatlves of the supreme war council, 1 of which ticn. Koch was then the I senior member. Hut when the time 1 came to meet the Ocrnmn offensive In j March these reserves were not found : available and the plan failed. I The situation resulted In a con ' fereme for the Immediate considera tion of the question of having an al lied commander In chief. After much discussion, during which my view fa voring such action was clearly slated, an agreement was rein lied and Gen eral Koch was selected. Ills appoint ment as such wnf made April 3 and was approved for the United States by the president on April Id. The grave crisis precipitated by the first tiermnn offensive caused me to make a hurried visit to General Koch's headquarters at llombon. during which all our combatant forces were placed at bis disposal. The acceptance of this offer intiiut the dispersion of our troops along the allied front and a consequent delay tn building up a dis tinctive American force In Lorraine, but the serious situation of the allies ilemandeU this divergence from our plans. On March 21 approximately .Utoixni American troops had reached Kraiice Four conibnt divisions, equivalent In strength to eight Krench or liritish divisions were available. Took Cantigny Heights. On April '-"" the Kli-st division re lieved two Krench divisions 011 the front near Montdidlor ami on May 'JS captured the Important observation stations tin the heights of Cantigny with splendid dash.

The enemy reliction agaiusi our troops at Cantigny was extremely violent, a ml apparently he was deter mined at all costs to counteract the most excellent effect the American success bad produced. For llm-e days Ills guns of nil calibers were concen trated on our position ami counter attack succeeded counier attack. The desperate efforts of the Germans gave the lighting at Caullgny a seeming tactical Importance entirely out of proportion to the numbers Involved. Ihe third German offensive, on May 2T. against the French on the Aisne soon developed a desperate situation for the allies. The Second division was hastily diverted to the vicinity of Meaux on May 31, and early on the morning of June 1 was deployed across the Chntcau-Tlilorry-I'iirls road near Mont reiill-nux I. Ions In a gup In the French line, where II stopped the Gorman advance on Purls. At the same time the partially trained Third division was placed at French dis posal to hold the crossings of the Marne. and Its motorized maehlne-gim hatiallon succeeded ill reaching Cha teau Thierry In time to assist In suc cessfully defending that river cross Ing. The enemy hnvlng been halted, the Second division commenced a series of vigorous attacks on June 4 which resulted In the capture of Pelican woods after very severe fighting. The Tillage of P.ouresches was taken soon after, and on Juiy 1 Vaux" was cap tured. In these operations the Sec ond division met with most desperate resistance by Germany's best troops. Our Second corps, under Ma.l. Gen. George V. Head, bud been organized for the coniiniind of the ten divisions with the liritish. which were held back In training areas or assigned to second-line defenses. After consulta tion with Field Marshal Haig on June 8 five American divisions were re lieved from the Urillsh nren to sup port the French. The Marne salient was Inherently weak anil offered an opportunity for a counter-offensive that was obvious. If successful tteh an operation would afford Immediate relief to the allied defense, would remove the threat against Purls and free the Paris Nancy rnllrond. P.nt. more Important than all else. It would restore the mo rale fif the allies and remove the pro found depression and fear then exist ing. t'p to this time our units bad been put In here and there at critical polnls as emergency troops to stop the ter rific German advance.
