When the order came to prepare i'm
mediately an expeditionary force to go
to France, virtually all of the men
now across the seas were on the Mexi-
can border. The army transports that
carried the troops were scattered on
their usual routes. Army reserve stores
were still depleted from the border
mobilization. Regiments were below
war strength.
Move ls Begun.
At President Wilson's word the war
department began to move. General
Pershing was summoned quietly to
washington. His arrival created some
quest Of Secretary Baker, the news
papers generally refrained from dis
cussion Of this point.
There were a thousand other activi-
ties afoot in the department at the

peiitionary force in little office,
hardly large enough to hold himself
and his personal staff. There. with the
aid of the general staff of Secretary
Baker and of the chiefs of the war de-
partment bureaus. the plans were
worked out.
Announcement Of the sending of the
force was made May IS. The press
gave the news to the country and there
were daily stories. There came a day
when General Pershing was no long
ers in the department. Officers of the
general staff suddenly We're missing

from England that Pershing and his
officers were there. All was carried
out without publicity.
No Publicity 10 Given.
Other matters relating to the ex-
pedition were carried out without a
word of publicity. The regiments that
were to go with General Pershing were
all selected before he left and NOV

where they were to be expanded, and
the movements were obscured in al
this hurrying to troop trains over the
land.
Great shipments of war supplies be-
