FYANkS' GREAT AID
TO ALLIES IN WAR
Barred BY PERsHING IN BAKERS
REPORT IN DESCRIBING
FIGHTS WON BY THEM.
Demands For Prompt Action Are Full
filled BY United States Troops,
Commander Asserts-Writes Vivid
Account of Crushing of st. MihieI.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. Gen. John ]. Perish
ing's account of his stewardship as
commander Of the American expedi-
tionary forces was given to the public
ny Secretary Baker. 1t is in the form
of q preliminary report to the Secre-
tary, covering operations up to the
day of the German collapse. 1t closes
with these words from the leader of
the great army in France, expressing
his feeling for those who served I'M
der him:
II pay the supreme tribute to our
officers and soldiers of the line. When
1 think of their heroism, their pa
tience under hardships, their unfinch-
ing spirit of offensive action, am
filled with emotion which am una
bic to express. Their deeds are i'm
mortal, and they have earned the eter-
nal gratitude of our country.
The report begins with General Per-
shing's departure for France to pave
the way for the army that was to
smash German resistance on the
Mouse and give vital aid to the allies
in forcing Germany to it's knees 10
months later. Its striking feature is
General Pershing's section devoted to
combat operations" where he tells
the story of the fighting. General Per-
shing views the encounters before
March p of this year, in which Amer
lean troops participated as a part Of
their training, and dismisses them
briefly. On that date, however, the
great German offensive was launched
and crucial situation quickly devel-
oped in the allied lines, which called
for prompt use of the American divi-
sions that were at that time equal to
any demands of battle action" The
first crisis of the German drive had
been reached in Picardy. 1.-THE crisis
which this offensive developed was
such, General Pershing says, "that
our occupation of an American sector
must be postponed. On March % /
placed at the disposal of Marshal
Foch, who had been agreed upon as
Commander in Chief of the allied ar
mics, all Of our force to be used as he
might decide"

LUCKY FOR SHEA

Mrs. E. M. Shea of High street has
received a letter from her son Arthur
w. who will be we'll remembered here
and who is with the 3l3th Regiment
Sanitary Detachment of the A. E. F.,
at Verdun, from which it appears that
he was participant in the final drive
last September which sort of started
the end of things for William"
Shea was one of 10 men who on Fri
day the 18th rode up to the front on
the Verdun sector and just thirteen
days afterward all were sent over the
top.
an those thirteen days" he writes,
1--WE had taken Montfaucon, the place
where the Crown Prince had his head
quarters when directing his forces into
Verdun. We, the 3l3th certainly show
ed ND fine under shell fire and the San
itary Detachment especially did great
work. 1t seems that the sanitary de-
partment of other regiments were miles
back for we cared for the wounded men
not only of our own division, but OF
others.
1--WE were on the front right up to the
last and stayed up there week after
the llth and then we came back to a
French military camp just outside OF
the city of Verdun."
