EXPERT TRAFFIC MEN HEAD ARMY
 TRANSPORTATION

With the American Army in France. Nov. 13-Gen. Pershing to- day explained the American transpor- tation system to the correspondents as follows:
 'I have, just made tour of the lines of communication and the bases. New methods in army organization are showing excellent results already. Af- ter study of the great transporta- ton problems I made recommenda- ton which the department approved, that all matters relating to transpor- tation and construction be consolidat- ed under one head. This is now in charge of Brig. Gen. w. w. Atterbury, late vice president in charge of oper- ations of the Pennsylvania railroad. Assisted by expert traffic men he Is looking after every detail of transpor- tatiOn from the ships hold to the rail- road destination
 Thus, through the generals and l captains of industry the organizing ability of our country will support our generals and captains of the fighting forces in relieving the regular quar- termaster department of part of its l burden. In a war of all our strength against an enemy who uses all of his, we need the services of every kind of expert co-ordinated effort toward one great purpose.
 Troops and supplies arrive in in- creasing numbers in keeping with the plans worked out by the experts in the war department in conjunction with the experts in France. Thanks to the efficiency of French, British and American naval protection, the submarine has not claimed the life of a single American soldier on a troop ship hound for France.
 'I want to mention particularly the young reserve officers who have been arriving in France to continue their instructions. Their character, intel ligence and eagerness proves how thorough were the methods of the of ficers' training camps at home French officers are enthusiastic about them. We have every right to be proud of them. But the supreme eff fort remains for our men in France
 Later contingents meet unfamiliar conditions in France with the same American adaptibility and good nature as the first contingent did.

ary Russia can never be anything but a menace to Hohenzollernism.
 ''But even if we are obliged to de- spair of Russia, my faith in the final triumph of the cause of the Allies re- mains unshakabIe.''
 Premier Painleve in his speech at the luncheon remarked:t
 "A single front, a single army, a single nation-that is the program re- qHisite for future victory. If after 40 months of war, after all the less ons the war has taught us, the Allies were not capable of that sacred in- ternational union, then, in spite of their sacrifices, they would not be worthy of victory
 In discussion the manner of &C., complishment of this fusion, M. Pain leve said:
 '@The enemies alliance realized unity of effort by brutal discipline, one of the peoples among them hav- ing mastered the others and render ed them serviceable. But we are free peoples. We do not admit of subjec- ton to other peoples in time of war That independence is at the same time source of strength and weakness of strength because there is a capac- ity for resistance which is unknown to subject peoples, and of weakness because it renders more difficult CO., ordination of military operations ITO reconcile this independence with the need for unity of direction which is required to achieve an eff1cacious war policy will be the work of the Inter allied War Committed or of the Su- perior War Council just created by the Allies"
