Petain, French commander, said to
representatives who went to the war
front: "Of course, France will sup
ply guns to your American troops.
We need man-power so much that we
will cut down our supply of guns to
get men at the front. But remember
that every gun we let you have weak
ems us just that much.
1t was then explained that advanc-
Frances power to concentrate big
weapons for an offensive.
