From point just east of the Moselle

necessary means for the attack. Thus the
French troops holding the lines east Of the
Moselle took no part in the reduction Of
the st. Mihiel salient or the subsequent
operations of the second army. Early in
November the allied commander in chief

with reference to your question as to

on November IL nor at any other time

French were, nor were American lives
needlessfy wasted for any other cause.
unless it be that we had not adequately
pr epared for war in time of peace. In
1918 the French had been exhausted by
four years of war. and 1t is true that
nearly all of our divisions attacked with
more dash, enthusiasm and courage than
usual, but few of the best French di-
visions participated. But the superior
ity of practically all of our divisions was
not due to lack of consideration of vast
age of men by American officers.
