CLARENCE BAILEY
WRITES LETTER HOME :
FROM MCALLEN, TEXAS
SAYS CROPS ARE ALMOST
READY TO HARVEST. COTTON
PLANTING IN PROGRESS
McAllen, Texas,
May 16, 1917.
Dear mother and all:

Dear mother and all:
Arrived at this place May 10 and
was pretty tired after my long ride.
/ did not write then, but made up my
mind that /, would write the next day
l do not know when / will move from
here, but l heard some one say that
we were here for ten days. We are
quarantined here for measles and
have to stay in camp.
We had some trip down here and
saw quite bit of country. The
crops down this way are almost
ready to harvest--corn, etc. The cot
ton is just coming up and there are
some fields of it too. Cotton is SOW
ed in and after it is up to a good
height it is thinned out so that the
plants are about foot apart. The
two principal crops down here are
corn and cotton. We see but very
few white people here who own
farms. The most of the inhabitants
are Mexicans, Indians and negroes.
Texas is the largest state in the
Union with very few cities. The
houses are mostly small and are
implanted. Many of the people live
in groups of about ten houses in each
group and the buildings are all close
together some the inhabitants look as
though they were not acquainted with
soap and water at all, or never used
a brush and comb.
When we were travelling on the
train we saw several wagon trains of
Mexicans, moving along the roads or
camping at different places. The
roads in this country are merely
paths because the sandstorms keep
them filled with dirt most of the time.
We passed through many deserted
towns, where the houses had all fall
len in ruins and the farms are miles
apart here. Not much of the land
is wasted here, as that which cannot
be cropped is pastured. Many of the
ranchers have stopped raising cattle
and have plowed their land and put
in cotton and corn.
The weather in this country is
great at night, but is unpleasant in
the daytime.
There is talk of sending us north.
am writing this letter few lines at
time, because / have not more
than minute to write few words
when the whistle blows and we have
to go through exercises. 1t will soon
be nine o'clock and then we have to
report at the hospital for examiha-
! ton.

sun came out as it always has since
we came down here. The wind has
not blown as hard the last two days,
and it has been about hundred de-
grees of temperature, and we get a
cool breeze from the gulf. We are

coming from our hike and we went
through one of the streets. 1t is not
a very big place, but nearly all of
these small places are pretty just the
and many of the homes have flower
beds and good houses.
Say mother, you would laugh your
head off If you saw my chum and
.he other night. We were washing
our clothes and we made good job |
If it too. Well, how is all the family
coming. l could not be any better
myself and am not losing much of my
iesh, but l can see that it is going |
/ little at time. 1t can't be help |

Petain Is Named
Commander in Field

As first step Petain was named chiet
of the General Staff in Paris and tech
nical adviser TO the Minister or war
Nivelle remained as commander in the
field. The second step was to announce
that no military operations would pc
undertaken without the sanction OF re-
tain and that his approval must be
given to all preparatory work-artil-
ierv preparation, ctc.-before an often
sive was started.
This left Nivelle as no more than
means TO transmit the orders OF Petaln'
and the third step quickly followed.
Poincare gave way, and Petaln was
named commander in the field. lie
had never occupied desk in the war
Office.
There has always been the closest
svrnatbv between Petain and Foch.
They are personal friends and in per,
feet harmony on military ideas and
IDEALS One of Petain's first steps was
IN nut Foch at the head OF the Cen
erai staff in Paris, thus returning MN
IN active service, and there IS little
doubt that he will soon be seen again
in the field.
There was no idea in France that
loire would come back from America
a great man once more. The general
oninion was that il was a tne compll J.
mont TO America to send here France
only marshal and that IT would be a
happy remembrance for him-hls hnai
appearance in the spotlight. But they
counted without their host. Events
have combined to bring him to the lore
again. $500, 81 .
Petain is q great general ana
strong man. There is little chance that
he will fail. But if he does, watch
JoHre.

Nivelle Transfers
General Headquarters

The regime of Nivelle began with the
disappearance of the most trusted lieu
tenants of Jofre and the moving OF
Great General Headquarters from
Chantilly, where it had been so long
under Joffre. Foch was placed hors
cadre and temporarily assigned 10
studying the situation on the Swiss
border in case the Germans attacked
by that road-something that for sew
eral weeks was momentarily expected
to happen. The next step for Foch was
intended to be long rest In quiet
spot, but events interfered.
Franchet d'Esperey was transferred
from the armies of the East to the
Northern armies, while de Castelnau
was sent on a mission to Russia. The
post of commander of the armies OF
the East was left open for several
weeks until. finally, de Castelnau was
recalled from Russia TO fill the posi-
ton.
Things went very we'll until there
came the offensive from Scissors to
Auberive, beginning April 16 1t was
Nivelle's first big test. 1t was the
thing he had been put on the job to do
and he had the good wishes and high
hopes of every one in France. He
failed lamentably. Eighty-fve thou
sand men were lost in three days.
while the German positions remained
practically intact. That attack cost
$4,000 killed, $1,000 wounded and 1000
prisoners for no decisive results.
One may refer 70 the 10000 German
prisoners captured, but most Of them
were taken In the fighting after the
big attack. One may speak OF the ad-
vance the map shows now in the french
lines. This is perfectly true. but the
advance has been made since the big
attack was launched and has cost a
tremendous amount OF detailed fight
ing. The big attack got nowhere.
Joffre was on the ocean on the way
70 America when the scissors to Au-
beriye offensive was started. He re-
ceived the communicate by wireless and
his simple comment IVES, The ohen-
sive has failed"
France was staggered. If Jofre had
been in Paris at the moment, the
chances were even that he would have
been returned to the high command,
The Ribot government acted promptly
There was no question but that Nivelle
would have to 90. The only question
was who would take his place: Three
men were mentioned, Petain, Foch and
JofFre. Painleve insisted on retain;
Poincare was still against him., and
Joffre was on the ocean. Poincare was
iockeyed out of his position and petain
became the commanding general.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-22

an anomaly, and Joffre passed from
public view. He was variously re-
ported as having retired to his birth
place in the Pyrenees and as having
taken to his houseboat on the rivers
and canals. No one knew just where
he was and no one thought much about
it.
Nivelle was chosen as the successor
to Joffre because he wanted the Job,
while other men refused it. Painleve
wanted Petain and left the BRAND
Cabinet because he could not approve
of the choice of Nivelle. Poincare was
unalterably opposed to Petain. Petain
did not want the place under the con
ditions surrounding it and refused it
when offered to him. The general
situation was that Nivelle would be
more amenable to the politicians,
while Petain would brook no political
interference with army affairs. Foch
was in the same position as Petain.
He was an army officer with no ad-
mixture of the politician, and that put
him out of the running.
