PERSHING (Continued fronl page 1 Met menaced cent ral France, pro tected the most exposed portion of the German line of communications, that between Metz and Sedan, and coveredthe IlrwSy iron region 'from which the eneniobtalned the great er part of the iron required for mu nitions and material. The , coal fields east of Metz were also covered by thcFe same defenses. A deep ad vance east of Metz. or the capture of the IJriey region, by threatening the Invasion of rich XJerman territory In thf Moselle valley and the Saar ,)axin, thus curtailing her supply of coal and iron, would have a decisive effect in forcing a withdrawal of German troops from northern France. The military and economic situation of the enemy, therefore, in dirpted Lorarine a.? the field prom ising the most fruitful results for the employment of our armies American arms drew flret blood, the report shows at Pasichendaele Ridge. November f to 10, 1917 when the 11th englneeis Joined th lirir t'sh In a successful attack which was ' n nart-of a general operation de signed' to hinder the German con . nnent 'of Russia and to prevent, .Jf possible, an attack on Italy, or in the near east. So afterward, however, came the collapse of Russia and the Italian de- bacle at Caporetto. with the result that the 'enemy's leeions began1 to gather nick?" in France. Allied romrunnafrs viewed the " situation with friink apprehension, General IVrHtiinrt' report Indicates, and the pressure for an accelerated move ment, of American divisions was felt from al sides. At tha same time Ciiine thW suggestion that American units 1 bbrigaded with French and British M order that no time be was- ted in t rmlng. In this connection. the gitral reports: Hn Army Idea lmi'H.rtnt "'y conclusion was that, although the mWale or the German people nnd or the armies was better than 1t had been for two years, only an ununva-( combination, of circum stance cii'd give the enemy a de- cislve victory before the American supprt as recommended could be made effective, provided the allies secured unity of action. However, a situation might arise which would necessitate the temporary use of all American troops in the units of our allies for the defensive, but nothing in the suituation justified the ' re linquishment of our firm purpose to form our own army under our own vfTag.'' "While the Germans were practic ing for open warfare and concen trating their most aggressive per sonnel in shock divisions, the train ing of the allies was still limited to trench warfare. As our troops were being trained for open warfare, there was every reason whiy we could not alJo-a- them to be scattered among our allies, even by divisions, much less as replacements, except by pres sure of sheer necessity. Any sort, of permanent amalgamation would irrevocably commit America's for tunes to the hands of the allies. Moreover. It w-as obvious that the lack of homogeneity would render maneuver and almost certain to break up under stress of defeat, wiht censequent mutual recrimina tion. Again, there was no doubt that the realization by the German people that independent American divisions, corps, or a'rmies were in the field with determined purpose would be a severe blow to German morale and prestige." General Pershing had refused ut terly to drop his plan for a single American army, acting under its own flag, but consented because of the existing emergencyV, to lend the com bat divisions at hand t: help stem the German offensive of 1918 which the allied war council foresaw "may quickly place the allied armies in a serious situation." I The German rush developed as ex pected, the report shows, but the enemy's succeiss was far greater than had been feared. At Amiens, the British were Iriven in on a 40-kilo-metef front; between the Oise and Uerry-au-BaeJ the French lost 50 kilometers on a 35-kilometer front in 4 days. And immediately the Ger mans utilzed the Marne "as a de fensive flank and the advance was directed toward Paris." Orders Now; Famous "The gravity of the situation." the report says; "led to the famous or ders for holding up all supply and troop shipments except "infantry and machine gun units." General Foch who was now made generalissimo es timated that 100 American divisions would be necessary for allied ; vic tory?. ":: V General Pershing at this time was recommending that his troops be ued to smash the Marne pocket into which the Germans had thrust them selves.. He says: "Thr? Marne salient was inherent ly weak and offered an opportunity for a counter offensive that was ob vious. If successful, such an oper ation would afford Immediate re lief to the allied defense, nnd would remove .the thi eat against Paiis, and free the Parir-Nancy railroad. Dot. more important than all else, It would restore the morale of he al lies and remove the profound de pression and fear then existing. tP to this time our units had been put in here and. there at critical poin's as emergency troops to slop tie ter rific German advance. In every tri al, whether the defensive or offen sive, they hid jioved themselves equal to any troops in Europe. ; As early as June 23 and again on July 10 at P.onbon, 1 had very sirongly urged .that our oest divisions be con centrated under American command if possible, for use as a striking; force against the Marne talient. Although the prevailing view amonc the al-1-es was that American unitj were suitable only tor the defensive, and that at all events they could b iysc to -better advantage under allied command, th,e ruggistion waa accept ed in principle, and my estimate of their offensive fighting queues was soon put to the) test." Although hU suggestion v.aa nc accepted, American forces rouno glory- in tne acuon wr.icn u. taRtn. At Cnatean Thierry, when th.- Germans first advanced, tne "td division commander reported: "Although the ni5:i of the Ger man troops overwhe.1r.ictf some of the frprit line -oosiiiom. causlns infantry and machine j:n compar les to suffer, :n some case a 30 V cent loss, no Germaa soldier crossed the- road Trout Fossoy to Crezancy excepjt as a prisoner ;f war, and by noon of the following day (July 16) there1 were no Germnns in the lore- groundjof tue iiiru uivisiuu except the deau."

' "The force of the American arms hud been brought to boar in time to enable the last orfen$iV3 of live t-nj-my to be crushed." : - St. Miliicl i:eoiitc,l Organizatioi of the Jirsi Ameri can army and preparations for its maiden effort the elimination or the St. Mihiel salient was now taken up. Again it was proposed that Am ican troops reinforce the French for th-; operation but Pershing again objected. He explains: "The plan suggested for the Am erican participation in these opera tions was not acceptable to me be cause It would require the immed iate separation of the recently formed First American army into several groups, mainly to assist French armies. This was directly contrary to the principle of form ing a distinct American army, for which my contention had been in sistent. An enormous amount of preparation had already been made in construction of roads, railroads, regulating stations, and other instal lations looking to the use and sup ply of our armies on a particular front. The inherent disinclination of our troops to serve uader allied commanders would have grown and American morale would have suf fered. My position was stated quite clearly that the stralegical employ ment of the first army as a unit, would be undertaken where desired, but its disruption to carry out these proposals would not be entertained Ilan Outline! "A further conference at Marsh al Foeh's headquarters was held on September 2. at which General Pe- tain was present. After discussion f the question of employing the Amer ican! army as a unit was conceded. All the allied armies were to be em ployed in a converging action. The Uritish arniies,'supported by the left of the French armies, were to pursue the attack in the direction of Cam brai; the center of the, French arm ies, west of Rlieims. would continue the actions, already begun, to drive the enemy beyor' Aisne; and the American armv supported by the right of the French armies, would direct Its attack on Sedan and Me zieres. "It should be recorded that al though this general orrensive was fully outlined at the conference no one present expressed the opinion that the final victory could be won in 191 Sr In fact, it was believed by the French high command that the Meuse-ArgonnS attack could not be pushed much" beyond Montfaucon before the arrival of winter would force a cessation of operations. . "The choice between the two sectors.-that east of the Aisne including the Argonne forest, or the Cham pagne sector was left to me. la my opinion, no other allied troops had the morale orjthe offensive spirit to overcome successfully the diffi culties to be met in the Meuse-Ar-gonne sector and our plans and in stallations tad been prepared for an expansion of operations in that di rection. Salient Historical "The salient had been held by the Germans sine? September, 1914. It covered the most sensitive section of the eneniy's position on the western front; namely, the Mezieres-Sedan-Metz railroad and the Briey iron basin; it threatened the entire Re gion between Verdun and Nancy, and interrupted the main rail line from Paris to the east. Its primary strength lay in the natural defen sive features of the terrain itself. The western face of the salient ex tended along the rugged, heavily wooded eastern heights of the Meuse: the southern face followed the heights of the Meuse; for 8 kilo meters to the. east and the crossed the plain of the Woevre, including within the German lines the de atched heights of Loupmont and Montsec w-hich dominated the plain and afforded the enemy unusual fa cilities for observation. The enemy had reinforced the positions by ev ery artificial means during a period of four years." lrecislon Is Marvel "The operations were carried out with entire precision," the general continues. "The rapidity of our ad vance overwhelmed the enemy, who apparently had started to withdraw some of his elements from the tip of the salient. We captured 16,000 prisoners. 4 43 guns and large stores. "The material results of the vic ory achieved were very important. An American army was an accom plished fact, and the enemy had felt its power. No form of propaganda could overcome the depressing effect on the morale of the enemy of this demonstration of our ability to or ganize a large American force arid rtrlve It successfully through his de fenses. It gave our troops implicit confidence fn their superiority and raised their morale to the highest pitch. For the first time wire en tanglements ceased to be regarded is imoassable barriers and open war rare training, which had been so ur eently insisted upon, proved to be the one correct doctrine. Our divis ion concluded the attack with such small losses and in such high spirits that Vithout the usual rest they were immediately available for em nloyment in heavy fighting in a new theater of operations. The strength of the first army in this battle to taled aproximately 500.000 men. of whom about 70.000 were French. Veterans Keep Hammering Without pausing to recuperate the now veteran divisions, Pershing wunc them to the east and prepared for the Meuse-Argon-, drive, the tratecie Importance of which he be lieved to be "second to none on the western front"-, for "should this sys tem (of supply through Sedan-Me-nieres) be." cut before the enemy could withdraw his forces through the narrow neck between Mezieres nd the Dutch frontier, the ruin ot his armies in France and Relgium would be complete." T'e entire frontal zone was "elab orately fortified." consisting of prac tically a continual series of positions 2 kilometers or more In depth anfl strengthened moreover, by the nat ural features of the terrain. The story of thfl hand to hand struggle which ensued is told dispassionate ly by the report which says "contin neua. fighting was maintained along tho entire battle front" with "the enemy contesting every foot of our front," but by the end of October: "the enemy's elaborately prepared nositions. including the Hindenburg line, in our advance had been brok en; the alm6st impassable Argonne forest was in our hands; an advance of 2! kilometers had leen affestd; 18.f.oo prisoners. 370 cannon. 1"rt machine guns, and a mass of mater ial captured; and the great railway artery through Carignan to Sedan was now seriously threatened." . With the cneniyi gradually break ing before him. Pershing found that( bis own reserves were beginning to Show the effects of the. terrific at-j trition. -Arjer a careful review of. the situation the report recites that the decision to continue the at tack" was reached on the theory that the enemy divisions were suffer ing even more. "Once a German division was en gaged in the fight it was practically, impossible to effect its relief," the general says. Scilun K llrilliuut Pae From November 1 to 6. three Am erican army corps battered their way to Sedan and. to quote the official record : "By the 7th the right of the third corps had exploited its river cross ing to a distance of 10 kilometers east of the Meuse. completely eject ing the enemy from the wooded heights and driving him out into the swaiupy plain of the Woevre; the fifth and first corps bad reached the line of the Meuse river along their respective fronts and the left of the! latter corps held the heights domin ating Sedan, a strategical goal of the Meuse-Argonne operation. 41 kilometers from our point of depart ure on November 1. We had cut the enemy's main line of communi cations. Recognizing that nothing but a cessation of hostilities could save his armies from complete dis-j aster, be appealed for an immediate armistice on November 6. "Meanwhile general plans had been prepared for the further em ployment of Amrican forces in an ad vance between the Meuse and the Moselle, to be directed toward Long wy by the first army, while the sec ond army was to assume the offen sive toward the Bricy iron basin. Or ders directing the preparatory local operations involved In this enter prise were Issued on November G. "Between the 7th and the 10 of November the third corps continued its advance eastward to Remoiville. while the 17th French corps, on Its right, with the 79th, 26th and 81st American divisions, and two French divisions, drove the enemy from his final foothold on the heights east of the Meuse. At 9 p. m. on November 9 appropriate orders were sent to. the first and second armies in accor dance with the following telegram from Marshal Foch to the command er of each of the allied armies: Enemy Retreat funeral "The enemy, disorganized by our repeated attacks, retreats along the entire front. "It is important to coordinate and expedite our movements. "I appeal to the energy and init iative of the commanders-in-chief and of their armies to make decisive the results obtained." , "In consequence of the foregoing instructions. our second army pressed the enemy along Its entire rront. On the night of the 10th 11th and the morning of the 11th, the fifth corps In the Tirst army, rorced a crossing of the Meuse east of Beaumont and gained the com manding heights within the reen trant of the river, thus completing our control of the Meuse river line. At 6 a. m. on the '11th notification was received from Marshal Foch'a headquarters that the armistice had been signed and that hostilities would cease at 11a. m. Preparatory measures had already been taken to insure the prompt transmission to the troops of the announcement of the armistice-" Ordnance lacking I'nder the headings of ordnance, aviation and tanks. General Pershing gives some first hand information of the actual equipment of the army with those much discussed imple ments and shows the extent to which America was compelled to rely on the allies. He says: "Our entry into the war found us with few of the auxiliaries necessary for Its conduct In the modern sense. The task of the ordnance depart ment in supplying artillery was es pecially difficult. In order to meet our requirements as rapidly as pos sible, we accepted the ofrer of the French government to supply us with the artillery equipment or 73's, 133 mm. howitzers and 133 G. P. F. guns from their own factories for 30 divisions: The wisdom of this course was fully demonstrated by the fact that, although we soon be gan the manufacture of these class es of guns at home. the, were no guns of American manufacture ,of these classes of Runs at home, there were no guns of American manufac ture of the calibres mentioned on our front at the date or the armis tice. The only guns of these types produced at home which reached France before the cessation of hos tilities vere 109 73 mm. guns. In addition 2 4 M-inch howitzers from the Fnited States reached our front and were in us when the armistice was sigr-d. Kight 14-inch naval guns of. American manufacture were set up on railroad mounts, and most of these were sncecasruJlv employed on the Meue-Argonne front under th efficient direction or Admiral Plunket of the navy. Fi-e-nch AM Aviation "In aviation we were entirely de pendent npn nur allies, and heiv again the French government came to our aid until our own program could be set under way. From time to time we obtained from the French such planes for training personnel as tbev could provide. Without go in e into a complete dif-ussion of av iation material, it will be sufricient to state that it was with great dirH eulty that we obtained equipment even Tor training. As f r up-todate combat planes, the development at horn- was slow, and we had to re!.v upon the French who provided u with a total of 2.676 pursuit, obser vation, and lumbing machine. The first aeroplanes received from home arrived in May. and altogether we received 1,379 planes of the Dellavi land type. The first American squadron completely equipped by American production, including aer oplane, crossed the German lines on August 7. 191 X. As to our avia tors, many of whom trained with our allies, it ran bi paid that they had no superiors in daring and fighting ability. During Ihe battles of St. Mihiel and Meue-Argonne our av iators excelled all others. They deeds that will ever remain a bril liant page in the annals of our army. Allien Funil-h Tanks "!nthe matter cf tanks we were French and the Kngli.'h. Here, how ever. wt were le:-s fortunate tor the reason that our allies barely had suf ricient tanks lo meet their own re quirements. While our tank corps: had limited op;ortunity. its fine per-' sonnl responded galantly on every possible occasion nd showed cour age of the highest order. We had one battalion, of heavy tank, and the number available to prticlpte in the last great asanlt of November 1 was reduced to 16 tn a result of the previous hard fighting in the meuse Argonne." General Pershing closes his rnort with the following "Apreciatlon": "In this brief summary of the schievements of the American expe ditionary forces it would be lmpo s'ble to cite in detail the splendid ability, loyalty and efHctency th.it characterized the' service of both viduals and organizations. The mort striking qnilifv of both ofHcers and men was the resourceful energy and common sense employed, aider H circumstances, in handling their pro blems. IHwh Irlw Arronlffl "The highest praise Is due the commanders of armies, corps and di visions, and their subordinate lead ers, who labored lovally and ably toward the accpmplishment of our ta$k, suppressing personal opinions and ambitions in the pursuit of the common aim: and to their rtaffs who developed.- with battle exper ience.
