the plans OF the military authorities

importance in this country are to be

These developments, 1t is under

F0CH, IN COMMAND,
ANSWERS U.S.PLEA
ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF UNITY
IN ACTION SHOWN BY LATE
EMERGENCIES ON FIELD.
ALLIES PLAN GREAT ATTACK
Premier Lloyd George Makes An
nouncement Of Appointment Of
French Warrior-U. S. Not to
Stand on Ceremony in Aid.

Washington.-Gen Foch of France
has become generalissimO of the allied
forces in France, including the British,
French and American armies now on
the battle line.
The mere fact that centralized
command on the part Of the allies has
been found necessary for emergency
purposes will go far toward establish
ing a principle for which the United
States government has contended ever
since it entered the war.
The wholeheartedness with which
President Wilson ordered Gen. Persh'
ing to tender the American reserves in
France to the service Of Gen. Foch or
,ny other commander designated by
the war council to meet the German
drive indicates beyond all question the
feeling in high government quarters
that the United States will not stand
on any ceremony or tradition in weld.
ing together the allied strength in
France.
Army officers here expect to see
strong commander appear in the field
shortly at the head OF an allied army
which will wrest the initiative from
the Germans and force the fighting for
an indefinite period.
The German challenge to an allied
strength is to be accepted.
The battle begun by the Germans
will not be ended by them. but by the
allies, according to the universal opin'
Ion here, and the final decision Of the
conflict, while not in doubt, may not,
nevertheless, be reached until the sum-
mer campaign has been fully devel.
oped. In a sense the German often.
sive Is merely a prelude to long and
hard battle which may continue until
fall.
The feeling Of nervousness being
manifested by the German lines to the
north OF Arras and to the east Of the
elbow now crooked at Noyen, instead
OF at Zero, showed plainly, in the
opinion of military experts here, that
the German high counsel is draining
its forces along the western front OF
the great offensive in the west-possi'
bly, for a second blow either in the re-
gion Of Verdun or in Italy.
Behind the scenes Of the present
German drive battle Of wits between
the war councils on both sides is in
progress in which the present battle Is
only a consideration Apparently the
allies are merely meeting the Germans
In the west with a view to storming
the side, while at the same time pre-
pairing a counter blow which is already
giving the German army nervous
cooling from the Channel TO Switzer.

Washington. - Official information
has reached Washington that Gen.
Foch. the French chief Of staff. has
been appointed to supreme command
Of all the allied and American forces
in France.
This means unification OF all tho
armies opposing the Germans. step
which the American and French mil
itary men long have urged and which
apparently has been brought about by
recognition Of the imperative demand
for concentrated effort to hurl back
the gigantic thrust Of the enemy in
France.
It was learned tonight that the pres.
ident had been officially advised Of
the action when he sent cablegram
to Gen. Foch congratulating him "on
his new authority" There was no
explanation at the White House Of
what the president meant, and 1t is un.
derstood that there will be no official
comment here until after an announce
ment comes from France.
The first hint Of the historic devel.
opment came In press cable dispatches
telling how Gen. Pershing had placed
Me American expeditionary forces q:

from Gen. Pershing to the war depart.

The presidents message follows:
MAY | not convey to you my sin.
cere congratulations on your new AL.
thority? Such unity OF command is a
most hopeful augury Of ultimate sue.
cess. We are following with profound
interest the bold and brilliant action
Of your forces"
The selection OF Gen. Foch is also
regarded as a signal for the beginning
Of crushing counter.ofensive in which
the united strength OF the entente pow.
ers and America will be thrown
against the German armies. Operat.
ing as unit of one great army and
under the sole direction OF the most
brilliant military leader developed by
the war, the blow planned is expected
to send the Teutonic forces reeling
backward to a possible crushing de-
feat.
The adoption Of the plan is trl.
