sonnel of the judge advocate generals department has solved with judgment and wisdom the multitude of difficult legal problems, many of them involving ques- tions of great international importance.
 It would be impossible in this brief pre- liminary report to do justice to the per sonnel of all the different branches Of this organization which 1 shall cover -s detail in a later report.
 The navy in European waters has at all times most cordially aided the army, and it is most gratifying to report that there has never before been such perfect cooperation between these two branches of the service.
 As to Americans in Europe not in the military services, it is the greatest pleas ure to say that, both in official and in private life, they are intensely patriotic and loyal, and have been invariably sympathetic and helpful to the army.
 Finally, I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line. When I think of their heroism, their pa tience under hardship, their unflinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled with emotion which I am unable to express. Their deeds are immortal and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our coun- try. I am, MT Secretary, very respect fully, JOHN J. PERSHING, General, Commander in Chief, American
 EXpeditionaTy Forces.
