WAR DIRECTORS
(By UNITED PRESSl


Frank Augustus Scott is chair
man of the General Munitions
Board Of the Council of National
Defense
Since the 14th Of August, 1914,
he has been in the thick Of the
Allies buying enterprises in this
country. More than one German
defeat can be credited to the ef-
fcie1st organization for supply
ing the Allies with munitions
which Scott had built up.
When the United States enter
ed the war, Scott answered the
call and came to Washington
where he Immediately reorganiz-
ed the buying system Of the Navy
and the Army.
Without any official authority
without any help from the gov
ernment he eliminated all com
petition, all waste Of time and
energy, until now, if Secretary of
War Baker decides the Army
needs 100000 new gas masks
he receives a message that the
masks have been ordered.
He is saving the government
millions Of dollars each day. He
has arraged for enough rifles to
supply a million men, and has
also taken charge Of such mat
ters as artillery, gun carriages
machine guns, munitions wagons
and anything which the Army has
to buy.

GEN. PERSHING HAS
 ALLIES ASSURANCE
BRITISH AND FRENCH IMPRESS. ED WITH HIS METHODS, SAYS
 GENERAL SCOTT.

Washington Direct assurances of the confidence of both British and French commanders in General Persh- ing's ability and their satisfaction with the breadth and the soundness of his preparations to make American arms effective on the Western front, have reached Washington, with the return from Europe of Maj. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, former chief of staff, who was in conference with Secretary Ba- ker and other War Department ofil- eials.
 The men who are actually leading the allied armies. from the command CTS in chief and members of the War Ministries, down to the corps and di- vision commanders, have been unhes- itating in expressing their approval of the chief of the Ameriean expedi- tionary forces and his methods. Gen. eral Scott visited virtually every part of the battle front and went carefully through all the training processes of both the French and British armies
 He believes General Pershing has laid the foundations for American army training upon what is best in French and British methods and experience. There is no doubt in his mind that American troops will be the equal of any on the front when they come to grips with the Germany army. There is no pessimism as to the outcome of the war in the fighting lines, General Scott found. The ar mics of the allies are cool and conf dent" The confidence of victory among the fighting men, he found, be- came greater. the closer the observ- CTS got to the front. There were no doubts in the trenches. Such pessi- nism as there may be among the British appears to be confined to the uninformed in London. 1t is not re- Eected in the army.
 General Scott now personally has inspected three lighting fronts, the Russian, French and British. It ap- pears probable that he is to command division of the American army, all though nc direct statement of the place designed for him by Secretary Baker has been made.
