if has long boon evident that many Of the
delays III placing all American army III tho
field, fully equipped and adequately trained,
were in no sense the result OF either cross
purposes i'll the military organization or lack
OF competency the part o, the admins

sudden and radical changes in program which
they called upon this government to make

campaigns until their uniGcation under a

When this country first entered the war.
the British government dispatched war

haste. Mr. Balfour and his associates after
prolonged conferences with government Of
hcla!a, persuaded the President that the most
vital contribution which America could make
10 INC common cause was an abundance OF
FOOD products, vast shipping program and
an endless stream Of munitions. An Amori-
can army was not demanded at tho time
The allies the Englishmen stated had all
the men they could possibly use on the
western front and that if the United States
Army took part in the fight by the end of
l9lS it would arrive in ample time. The
war department program was projected upon
the basis Of these assurances. Contracts were
awarded the draft was rcsortcd to and the
period OF training was fixed with tho Balfour
plan in Wow, but before the British mission
could reach London upon its return, a French
mission arrived in Washington. And before
it's conferences were half concluded. the
Frcnchmcn had convinced the President that
the most vital need in the war was the i'm
mcdiatc dispatch OF an cXpcditionary force
OF American troops to the western front
