that only a short time elapsed between the

and their first appearance on the Cham,

Virtually the entire population of this

General Petain, the French commander
But he will be in supreme command of the

This statement was made by high

IN England. II answers the question asked
few days ago in the English House of

Of the American troops was discussed.
unquestionably this decision will meet
with great favor among the men who fought
under Pershing in Mexico and who, while
having the highest respect for the allied
commanders, much prefer to he under su-
peme command of General Pershng.
