the western front When Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg assumed supreme
command he divided the western
front into commands under Prince
Rupprecht, the German crown prince
and Duke Albrecht.
MAY OPPOSE PERsHING's MEN
The front of General Gallwitz
apparently is between Verdun and the
German border. 1t may include the
sectors held by the American troops
although at present they are not ex
tensive enough to be opposed by a
special German command unless some
unusual operations are under way.
Recent dispatches from the Amer.
lean front have indicated that there
was great activity behind the Ger
man lines. General Won, GallwitZ was
on the eastern front in the early part
of the war He took part in the Ger
man drive through Poland and later
in the campaign in Serbia Late last
year news dispatches reported that he
was in command of the Verdun front
under the crown prince.
