Co.. Max R. Wne Who Was Sort of Father Confesso to the
American Expedionary Force, Takes Over Personnel Work.
Finding the Proper Places for Clerks of the Bureau

they could scarcely realize the task
before the American staff.
Fighting men were arriving as
planned, but they had to be fed,
clothed and equipped. and there was
already q crowded transportation
problem that France was struggling
with, and the mass Of men and sup
plies arriving daily were an aggrava-
ton to an inf1amed situation. Rail-
roads were to be built, rolling stock
made ready, depots Of supply located
done. 1t was then that the service of
supply. now known the world over by
the three magic letters. s. o. S., was
organized, with Maj. Gen. Harbord in
command. Harbord. who handled the
marines at Belleau Wood and Bour-
esches.
1t was right here that Uncle Sans s
trouble man came into being. 1t re-
Quired diplomat to get these mis-
fits out OF the way. Col. Max r.
Wainer. u. 8. A.. was chosen for the
job as head Of the reclassifcation
bureau. There were several reasons
why he was picked for the work; {;
perhaps first and foremost because he
was a diplomat as we'll as q soldier.
He enlisted as q private and rose to
his commission. He knew what hard
knocks meant and the best way to
get around them.
Then, as brother officer expressed
1t, there was Q look about Wainer's
eyes whom he WAS talking to a man
that inspired q friendly feeling. They
invited confidence and respect and
the conviction soon grew that he
knew what he was talking about.
and knowing that he was ready to
deliver the goods. with the under
standing that the other man must
give full value for his products" So
Col Wainer took up the task of re-
organizing the A. Il. #. personnel.
He worked early and late unravel-
ling the problem of human misflts. He
taught the officer, the soldier, the
lawyer, the doctor. the engineer, the

rector OF the bureau. believes In
practical open-door policy and the
employees are encouraged to tell the
chief OF personnel their grievances.
Col. Wainer said in describing his
work: "The scope Of the personnel
division is not confined to a few and
occasional problems and cases. It en-.
braces every employe in the service
and is interested in every position,
operation and activity. Some people
seem to think that the personnel dd-
vision is only a matter Of employ
ment or appointment. Personnel
work Is much more than this. EN-
ployment or appointment is only the
first step. What follows is Of vastly
greater value and extent. 1t is the
particular province of the personnel
division. with thorough analysis Of
complete analysis of positions on the
other, to find and fit square pegs to
square holes and round pegs to round
holes. 1t Is within the line Of the
personnel division to discover and
formulate the proper machine and
machinery for conducting and direct
ing operations in SO far as the same
is possible through the personnel OF
the bureau.
"One of the greatest lessons taught
by the war is the vital Importance of
personnel work in business activity.

where the largest results can be &C
complished with the smoothest and
least confusing effort, and to enable
promotions Of the present employees
Of the bureau as higher positions

Col. Wainer spoke OF the vitality
human necessity for the war risk
bureau carrying on with 100 per cent
efficiency. He said: THE fact should
always be uppermost that the soldier
sent to France had finished his work,
and 1t was now up to the bureau to
see that not only the dead but the
living and their dependents should
get what the government had prom
ised them when they sailed for the
other side" 20. .Et r.

made it known to the men who were
sent to him that 1t was his business
to find that place before harm could
be done.
1t was soon recognized that per
sonneI. with Col. Wainer was not a
high sounding. stock praise; It meant
men; 1t meant that the many were
not to be sacrificed for the few. and
that every man in the American Army
in France was to be put in the place
where he could best serve his coun-
try, regardless of his personal feel
ings or influence.
1t became Col. Wainer's duty to
take the measure Of these men, hear
their confessions and find the place to
which they were suited. 1t was often
a bitter dose that had to be admin
istered and 1t required great
amount of that sort of diplomacy born
Of sincerity and good judgment.
One morning the bureau chiefs Of
Evening star., 1919-11-09

the A. e. F. in France found on their
desks a memorandum signed by =
member of Gen. Pershing's sta1f. It
read: IF there Is any officer in your
department. in any grade whatsoever,
whom you regard as incompetent,
that officer will upon your recommen-
dation be sent to the reclassiflcation
station. You can safely count on the
fact that unless 1t be by accident he
will not be returned to your depart
ment
1T is not necessary in recommend
ing this officer for reclassifcation
that you state any reasons for desir-
ing to get rid of him. but in order
to assist in the reclassifcation Of the
officer and to better place him in
some other field where his services
may be more useful to the United
States, every such case should be &C.
companied by q frank statement Of
the officers qualifications and dis
qualifications so far as they have
been developed while serving in your
department.
=
TT should be understood that the
policy of the commanding general. s.
O. S.. is to make readjustmant Of
personnel, SO as to get the maximum
advantage out OF every mans service.
1t frequently happens that y man
who is totally unqualified for one
GLASS Of work Is we'll qualified for an
other, and however worthless IN Of
ficer may appear to be from your
viewpoint 1t may be that his services
oan be used to some advantage in
another field"
This notice was an eye-opener and
caused those who received 1t to sit
up and take notice.
Col. r. G. Cholmeley-Jones, who was
decorated for his services abroad.
when he took hold Of the bureau Of
war risk insurance found that there
was need OF reorganization among
the ten or twelve thousand clerks.
He sought to f1nd where the trouble
lay. After expert advice he decided
that a chief Of personnel alone could
solve the difficulty. Knowing the
work Of Col. Wainer abroad. he
asked for his detail to the bureau.
Owing to his wide experience. Col
Wainer has been able to make a nice
distinction between personnel work

THE government has q new ''trou-
BILE man." He is q being evolved
from the confusion and chaotic
conditions which attended the
arrival Of the American expeditionary
forces In France-at least that part
which was composed largely Of the
draft.
The trouble man was born of neces-
sity, necessity which arose from the
fact that in the hurly-burly of war
the square peg sometimes had fallen
into the round hole and naturally was
not up to the requirements of the
space to be filled.
Big business long ago realized that
a personnel stan was as necessary to
the successful carrying on Of business
as a board of directors, a president or
vice president. However, the govern
ment has been slow to recognize this,
and as consequence has found that
even with a large force of clerks work
frequently runs behind. 1t is easy
enough to get to the wheel horse, per-
haps, and find that work Is going tan
dem instead Of four-in-h hand, but the
trouble man makes the team pull to-
gether.
The first A. e. r. to arrive at the
quaint little town of st. Nazaire,
France, June 26. 1917, was composed
of the Regular Army, who knew how
to drop into their places with prec's-
ion. Military duties and discipline
werc to them second nature through
long training. and they also were In
spired by the knowledge that they
had been sent over to break the way
for the new draft men who were 10
he sent later. In other words. they
were to start the ball rolling toward
finishing the war and get things
started for their brothers In arms VINO
were new to the business OF war.
The general stan of the A. E. F.
was occupying offices in the Rue Con-
stantine, PARTS. Preparations went py
leaps and bounds and the quarters De-
came too crowded. Later the stan
went up to Chaumont, in the north OF
France, where. just four months ana
twenty -ffve days after America de-
clarsd a state of war with Germany,
Old Glory was unfurled for the hrst
time in the war. They were getting
nearer to the scene of action, and Gen.
Pershing sent out word that he would
soon be ready to take a hand. The
allies had learned that Gen. Pershing
knew what he was talking about and
that he had O convincing way of say
ing things However. after three
years of desperate fighting. with the
odds Of getting ready against them.
