ing days he was singled out by the
president of the United States to lead
the first American army on the west

In writing of Gen. Pershing's sue
cess as commander of the A. II. f.,
Gearge MacAdam says; "Throughout
it all Pershng show ed three traits of

In organizing the first American army
in France Pershing had TO deal with
the powers at the head of both the
French and English government. He
had to convince them of the American
way of fighting and then organize his
own army as quickly as possible. Per-
shing, it Is said, had his program

terfere. After practically ali of the
members of the American oXpeditionary
forces had been turned homeward,
