with the other armies. PerShlnRS 1udg-
ment was indicated so completely that
the allied generals admitted he was
right.
Allies Went Over His Head.
What is chiefly ct issue, therefore
is not whether Pershing was right, but
whether the allies used proper means
In trying to have his judgment over
ruled. The general STATS Of the allied
armies passed their request for Ameri-
can recruits along to their statesmen
and the statesmen appealed over the
head Of Pershing to President Wilson
and brought other pressure to bear to
bring about an American policy in con-
formity with their desires.
President Wilson and Secretary OF
War Baker adhered to Their plan to let
Pershing decide on the spot in France
on such major issues. They had given
Pershing the right to say who should
come to France with the eXpeditionary
forces. This, as has been revealed, re-
suited in Gen. Leonard Wood never
getting there with divisions he trained
because, 1t is asserted, Gen. Pershing
did not believe France was big enough
for both of them.
The fact that the late Theodore
Roosevelt never was allowed to get to
France with a division Of Volunteers.
or in any other military capacity, was
explained as being due to Washington
view that the World War was not a
war which could be won by methods
successful In the Spanish American
War. Whether Gen. Pershing vetoed
the Roosevelt plan is not cleared I'D in
the specific way that historians would
desire. but, presumably, in his memoirs
Gen. Pershing will cover in detail any
issue connected with the war in France
in which he figured.

she has been arranging for the event
in cooperation with the executive

cally portrays Pershing's single-handed
battle with his associate commanders
and reveals Pershing's greatness after
defeating them on the separate army
issue by the splendid cooperation he
gave to the associate commanders. 1t
may be that Gen. Pershing will let this
book and other accounts stand as his
vindication during his lifetime. The
direct version Of Pershing himself con-
ceivably might stir various world capt.
tails. with perhaps some effects on inter-
national politics that he and others
might want to avoid.
When his memoirs do appear, soon
or late, a new perspective on the World
War, especially from the date Of Ameri-
can participation, will be given, and
historians will be nearer possession of
complete data for flnal appraisal of
the upheaval. That the memoirs viii
arouse keen popular interest is taken
for granted by those who have o pri-
mary interest In the technical side of
war.

The late Marshal Foch's published
views on the question of merging Amer
lean troops in the British and French
armies in 1918 have fired the issue anew
and ex-Premier Clemenceau is reported
to be working unremittingly to get his
version into printable form. In this sit
uation a defense Of Pershing by one of
his aides takes on special significance,
since the author is presumed to have
had the advantage of recent interviews
or correspondence with leading figures
In the dispute, as we'll as writing from
his own direct knowledge.
Pershing's Memoirs Awaited.
Naturally, Pershing's own memoirs
are the most eagerly awaited account
of the war from the American view
point. 1t has been felt, however, that
Pershing may not want his volume pub
lished during his lifetime. If Clemen-
ceau should release his history, or some
other volume as appears by Lloyd
George or other equally prominent war
parsonage, it is a matter Of speculation
as to whether Gen. Pershing might not
advance the publication date Of his own
book.
While Gen. Pershing, aside from Of
fetal duties, takes an unconcealed
pleasure in visiting Paris, the fact that
in France he can have at first hand
many sources of war facts not available
here, and also is on the actual scene of
the great conflict and the intrigues
that accompanied 1t, is noted as q rea
son for his many trips abroad. The
total number Of months he has spent
in France since the Armistice will run
into years
The crux Of the separate army issue
was the belief Of the British and
French general STATS that their own
losses made recruiting from American
troops imperative They also believed
that the American troops were not sea-
These opinions were considered legiti-
mate from the allied point Of view.
No charge was made on that account.
Allies Were Shown in Error.
But they were shown by subsequent
events to have been wrong In their
judgment because the American troops
gave an excellent account Of them
selves, whether considered as individual
fighting men, or in their function as q
separate army, and the 1918 victory
was achieved following the adoption of
the plan insisted upon by Gen. PERISH
ing.
The allied leaders seemed to over
look, on the personal side, that II their
views had prevailed, Gen. PerShlng
would have been reduced practically to
the role of a experimenting sergeant
for the British and French armies. He
simply would have greeted the dough-
boys on arrival In France and passed
them along to the assignments to the
front arranged by the allied command
ers. The fact that Pershing, under
such a plan, would have been consulted
as to strategy, does not relieve the plan
of the position of subordination he and
the American troops would have held.
There was. however. larger concept
than any personal effect upon Pershing.
He knew the fighting edgs~of Americans
better than did the European generals.
He knew that the spur to this quality
would be lost or submerged II the
Americans were mixed in with depleted
F, British and French units. In their own
Army the Americans would be stimu-
lated to make showing In competition
