AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE. October 6.-Every one who
meets Gen. Pershing over here is in
spired with enthusiasm for the part
which America is going to play in the
great war. 1t is only necessary to see
this comparatively young leader of
probably the greatest Army assembled
and to be assembled by any free people
to realize that in him are combined
driving force and dynamic energy.
To hear him talk removes any lin
gering doubt as to the chances of the
American forces going through to
glorious finish, or. as to ability of the
commander to prepare them for accom-
plishing great deeds. Confidence in the
national strength. enthusiasm Tor the
task ahead, though it is one that would
appall any ordinary man. and foresight
as to the manner in which the work
Will be done are characteristics forclDly
pressed by his personality.
This was brought home more vividly
than ever before in the interview when
he had yesterday with the correspond
ent attached to the expedition, and IN
which he expressed the opinion. as al
ready cabled. that America would force
a military decision against Germany IN
the end Personally I have seen the
general on many occasions since 1ne

France and had exchanged few pass
ing remarks with him. He has always

Meeting Held in Office.

The general was in another part of the
building when an aid who has been
with him for years, showed them into
his room The faded blue walls of the
small apartment were bare of paintings
and other decorations except maps.
There was a small implanted desk

Used by War Department.

In addition compilation shows that
the War Department occupies all or
part of fifteen buildings, besides it's
share of the State, War and Navy
building. and the Navy Department has
overfowed into six other buildings.
The Food Administration is now scat
tered through seven buildings, the
Hotel, at Sixteenth and 1 streets north
west. where the main offices are.
A number Of temporary buildings are
now either in course of construction
or will be begun shortly. and these
will do much to relieve the pressure
Tor floor space, and the probability is
that no more buildings will be occu-
pied by the government than the pres
ent list shows.
In the larger departments the ap-
rointment officials threw up their
hands when asked to name the net
increase in their forces since the war
began. and in each case where figures
were given it was with the under
standing that they were only approx
mate, though as near the facts as
could be found. The appointment di-
visions have been overworked, not only
because of the additional forces being
employed. but also by the number of
substitutions for persons leaving the
service. permanently or temporarily.
The greatest increase in personnel
was in the War Department, where the
normal force of 1900 civilians has
jumped to about $500. an increase of
1000. Most of this increase has been
in the ordnance division. but not a
single branch of the departments ac-
tfvity has escaped great expansion.

who have Joined the military forces.
taken more lucrative positions with
private employers or left the govern
ment service for other reasons.
Z These figures were obtained by inter-
viewing the appointment clerks OF all
ten government departments and cam
rassing the separate bureaus. such as
the Food Administration, Exports Ad-
ministrative Board. Shipping Board.
Council of National Defense, etc. Be-
cause the statistical department of the
Civil Service Commission has not been
able to keep pace with the unprece-
denied number of employees that have
been put to work. the exact figures
were not obtainable there. and officials
of the commission estimated the total
number of new names on the rolls in
Washington at not less than 10000. A
canvass of the various government
branches. however. indicates that figure
Is a little too high.
