ENTENTE FORCES UNDER
SINGLE COMMANDER.
General FOch Made Generalissimo of
Entente Allied Armies in France
Pershing Places American Troops
At Disposal of French Commander.

The Entente forces opposing Ger
many in France are for the first time
during the war fighting under the
eral Foch, the great French strategist,
to whom has been accorded much of
control of a single commander. Gen
the credit for the victory of the
Marine in September, 1914, is gener-
alissimo Of the Entente allied armies
in France. This report was received
on Friday morning in the form cf an
unofficial dispatch from London, but
in the evening it was officially con-
tlrmed by advlces to Washington
from Paris.
Early in the day President Wilson
sent a personal cable message of cor
graduation to General Foch and Gen
eral Pershing placed at the disposa;
Of the French commander the Amer
lean forces now on French soil. Gen
eral Foch is given supreme command
over all the men on the battle lines
and, in addition has a strategic re-
serve force, the size and location OF
which is not known but which, judg-
ing from reports, is very large.
This means unification of all the
armies opposing the Germans, steI
which the American and French mill
tary men long have urged and which
apparently has been brought about by
recognition of the imperative demand
for concentrated effort to hurl bach
the gigantic thrust of the enemy IL
France.

WASHINGTON THRILLED.
Glad Day Has Come When American
Troops Can Take Part in Gil
gantic Battle.

Washington Dispatch, March 81
Washington was thrilled today by
the news that American soldiers ac-
tually are on their way to the fight
ing lines to take places besides their
hard-pressed British and French al
lies.
Too much may not be said about
the number and position of the Ameri-
can troops, because of military rea-
sons. 1t is no violation of the censor
ship, however, to say that probably
100000 Or more American fighting
men are available at once to be
thrown into places to strengthen the
British and French lines.
Every officer of the American gen.
eral staff and every member of Presi-
dent Wilson's administration has been
looking forward to the day when
American troops would take their
places in the big battle now raging.
Easter crowds on parade on Pen
| sylvanla avenue about the White
House grounds everywhere heard the
news and gathered about newspaper
bulletin boards where the Associated
Press dispatches were posted.
| Officials here are hopeful that the
orders given American troops will Sc,
them in the offensive columns which
they believe General Foch is organic
ing for this counter-blow. They art
confident that Gen. Pershing now has
available sufficient force of season
ed veterans of trench life an the
American sector to render effective
aid in the counter attack.
At the War Department meanwhil,
officials are studying every angle O.
the transportation problem anew will
a view to expediting delivery in Franc
