In addition, there are nearly 200,-

of a military nature, such as the
Queen Mary's Auxiliary corps and
the Women's Naval service.
Our Amazons," Begbie says,
"have saved us. We could not have
...::rued the struggle without their
help. They have not only enabled
millions of men to be enrolled in
the army; they have doubled and
trebled the national output of NUM-
tons of war.
Behind the pretty girls in at
tractive uniforms. who are doing
mostuseful work, there are millions
of women toiing in the sweat of
their brows from morning to night
at work either so hard that it was
thought before 1914 no woman
could perform it, or so dangerous
that no man ever dreamed of asking
woman to do.
"The spirit in which these wo-
men have come forward to take the
place of men is beyond praise. They
have been a stea wing influence in
trade disputes. They have shown
the utmost courage in moments of
danger or panic, MANY of them
are doing either exceedingly hard
work or extremely monotonous
work. Their physical endurance
has equalled their powers of nervous
resistance to fatigue. Their morality
has been superior to that of men"

WHICH IS SUPREME,
PERSH|NG OR Bliss?
Has Action of Versailles War
Council Reduced Authority
of Field General?

Has the action of the supreme war
council of the allies, at Versailles, re-
duced the authority of Gen. Pershing as
supreme commander of the United
States expeditionary forces in Frances
That question has arisen at the War
Department in connection with the dis
cussion of the case of Gen. Robertson,
chief of the British imperial general
staff, who resigned because he felt he
had been shorn of his powers by the
military agreement at the Versailles
conference. The council decided that
complete unity of action was essential
to the successful conduct of the war
and that in order to obtain such unity
the direction of the separate military
commands of the allied forces must
conform to it
Gen. Robertson held. 1t is said, that
such action deprived the British chief
of staff of independent authority over
the movements of British troops. The
United States government was repre-
Sented at the conference by Gen. T. H.
Bliss, chief of staff and, as the action
of the council is said to have been
unanimous it is assumed he concurred
in it. To that extent the United States
is party to the agreement, and natu-
rally Gen. Pershing. the American COM
mander in France, is bound by it's

In Supreme Command.

So far as understood by Army Of
ficers here the allied war council will
serve in the capacity Of a generals
simo in supreme command of all the
allied forces and the respective COM
manders of the British, French. Italian
and American armies will act under
it's direction.
That course will serve to avoid pos
sible duplication of efforts and conflicts
of authority. 1t is pointed out that
this is not one nations war: that the
interests OF all the allies are involved
and that recognition of the principle
of copmlete unity of action is essential
to victory.
1t is explained further that Gen. Blies

Authority Over Troops.

While the United States has cooper
ated fully with the allies in the conduct
Of the war. 1t never formally Joined the
alliance and has acted Independently
whenever such a course seemed desir-
able. Gen. Pershing. while in close and
harmonious conference with the COM
manders of the British, French and
italian armies. always was the Anal
authority as to the employment of the
troops under his command.
Final authority in such matters now,
1t appears. is vested in the Versailles
war council. where Gen. Bliss speaks as
the representative of the United States.
and to that extent he displaces Gen.
Pershing in arranging the disposition OF
the American forces on the battle line
and elsewhere in prosecution OF the
campaigns agreed upon.
The greater powers and responsible
ties of Gen. Bliss in these important
military questions are more apparent
than real. however, for the reason that
the two officers are the best of friends
and are in complete accord as to the
active participation OF United States
forces in the great war for universal
democracy. Moreover. neither would
think Of adopting any important mill
tary policy without first submitting it
to the President or the Secretary of
War and obtaining approval.
