Vital for

Oct. 2L-Thirteen days before Hin

offensive between Scissors and the

tiers, not only planned the break
ing up OF the ambitious German
effort to get ChaIons and Rheims,

were quickly thrown back. de-

It was then. at the time when
the French. Americans and Brit
ish had hardly begun crushing
in the enemy flanks, that Foch
actually mapped out all the sub
seQuent allied counter strokes de-
signed TO wipe out the St MihieI
salient, the Amiens wedge, and
all other Western pockets, which
was so successfully achieved.
1t is now permitted 10 publish
these facts, illustrating in striking
fashion the type Of the master

fortunes.
The reduction Of the St. MihieI
salient had long ago been planned
as the first major operation of the
new American army, for the pUr-
pose of opening up important
railways and wiping out the nose
from which the Germans might at
any time thrust forward in a big
counter offensive.
When the critical situation
caused by the German offensives
in March. May and June had de-
veloped. Gen. PershinE offered his
troops for use wherever Marshal
Foch should see At to employ
them.
1t was then that Foch initiated
the plan of putting the Americans
into many sectors, not because
they were fresh and good fighters,
but for the moral effect on the
Germans. who were to discover
Americans opposite them nearly
every twenty kilometers along the
whole front. thus Counteracting
the German propaganda to the ef-
feet that we had but few troops
in France.
After the German May and
June offensives in which Chateau
Thierry was seized and Paris
again threatened. Foch and
others in the allied high COM
mand never for a moment lost
confidence while fully realizing
that the next German smash
might further penetrate and per
init a heavy bomba rdment Of
Paris
They were quite certain the
Germans would never reach
Paris nor gain a decision.
At historic conference OF the
allied commanders on July .
they decided the opportunity was
excellent for sharp counter
blow as soon as the Germans
would have spent their effort on
the offensive.

Quantities Of choice foods were

jam, spices, cheese and pickles.
And out in the enlisted mems quar-

soldiers to eat weeds and conserve
food! The circulars gave the names
of eight field weeds and directions
were given how TO prepare them so
as to make them nutritious and psla-
table. Weeds were urged as good
food-because no seed was needed,
