"The American Reinforcement" :"
(New York World.)

The participation of the United States which, in Ludendorff's phrase became the decisive pow CT in the war is described by Capt. Thomas G. Frothingham t. S. R., in book entitled "Thel American Reinforcement in the World War" which will be published Friday To this volume an introduction is provided by Newton D. Baker, who as our very efficient Secretary of War was charged with the duty of organizing the supreme national effort.
 It is vivid picture which MT. Baker draws of a Nation welded to peace and unprepared for conflict with General Staff provided by the genius of Secretary Root" but kept by Congress with insufficient numbers for it's work, and with fewer trained military men in the country than would suffice even for instructors. It is an ab- sorbng recital how the national achievement in science and industry made to serve the war; how daily production charts were soon making it possible to see at glance the effectiveness Of the work done; how for the first time in history great army transported across the sea, in- fested as it was with hostile submarines; how Pershing was chosen and given free hand--ex- lcept in respect: that the American forces must be kept together direction that fitted his own desire: and how in the end an army was sut in line that confounded all the expec- tations of the German General Staff and of our associated nations.
 MT Bakers introduction to Capt Frothing-
 hams authoritative volume may appropriately be
 studied in connection with any book descriptive
 of the American effort. With President Wilson
 dead MT. Baker is the surviving civil commander of our millions of soldiers so lately in arms. As
 the facts become known in their true perspective the country has come to realize how fortunate
 we were in having in his post an intelligence so
 keen a talent 80 adaptable, character so de-
 voted and so strong and selhess History will
 not fail to do justice to the civilian chief who
 called the armies of the Republic into being and
 in his own character exemplifed their noblest
 spirit
