PERSHlaG'S PLAN
FOR WINNING WAR

Washington. Nov 2S-There is
ample warrant from high officials
here Tor the statement that the whole
course, plan and strategy of the war
on the western front were changed as
the result of an interview between
Generals PershiHs. Foch and Haig
some few days before the 29th of
June Of the present year
The plan OF Pershing, as related at
the interview here. involved the with
drawai OF the American troops which
had been trained in the British ranks,
and also ii withdrawal from French
brigading arrangements. General
Pershings reasons for these with
drawals We're explained here tonight
by army officers who would be in a
position Ia know the facts, The with
drawals We're made over the protest
of British generals, whose troops had
been inactive for many months, who
would launch no offensiVes and who
had counted ON the indefinite pres
euce of large bodies OF American
troops with the british army
The time came in June when the
American forces aggregated more
than a million for the United States
troops to h&ht as nation This
determination MAS reached some days
before June 20 of this year. when
divisions FROM the British sectors.
From that time the progress of with
drawals went on and with a purpose
which General Pershing and his staff
mapped out. General Porshing's pur-
poses Were manifold:
l. That the gate into Germany was
via Sedan.
. That the American forces could
make this q success
g. That the American troops were
entitled 10 fight en front of their
own--that is. AS the sole troops in
combat sectors.
e. That the period of inactivity
since the German drive in March was
to the advantage of the Germans.
and that there should be an offensive
In great force.
g. That the Americans had knowl-
edge that the Germans intended TO
make the drive over the Marine about
the middle OF June, although it did
not burst until about the middle of
July.
