dercurrent at the moment, as nearly
as could be learned, showed a con-
tinued lack of accord among the differ
ent nations, which were not at all in
agreement with President Wilson'S
ideals. Each had its own aspirations
and each sought to gain some advan-
tage over the others. Some of the d.
vergent war aims had to do with ter
ritory distant from France and troops
were sent that might have been more
usefully employed on the western
front.
In a letter to Secretary of War
Baker inclosed memorandum which
was a report of conversation held by
a man in my confidence with British
official high up in the counsel of Great
Britain. The date of this conversa-
ton was October "a, 1917.
perhaps it should not be taken too
seriously" wrote, ''but it is an indi-
cation of the British attitude"
Sees Difference in Aims.
In this conversation the British
official declared:
"The European allies and America
are not fighting for the same thing
Mr.. Wilson thinks great deal more
of his ideas of people governing them.
selves, of friendly working arrange
ment among all the great powers after
the war, than he does of territorials
or specific things going to this or that
country. What he wants is to smash
. the German military power and have
a society of democratic nations after
wards. But to England, France and
Italy these things ere phrases, useful,
perhaps, but of secondary interest.
England wants. to maintain her
colonial possessions to keep her posi-
ton on the sea, and her commercial
place in the world. We know what
France -wants-Alsace Lorraine, as in
demnity and security for the future.
Italy has definite territorial claims.
Thus the governments of these coun-
tries think great deal about what
they want for themselves and less
about ideals, unless these ideals are
incidental to success. So there is no
clear unity among the allies in Europe
and America"

and reported results and agreements
reached. He had brought the latest
data from home and his knowledge
concerning steel and munitions enabled
him to give valuable assistance to my
chief of ordnance in our efforts to find
a solution to the difficult munitions
problem.
A letter from Secretary of War
Baker, dated September 10, had only
recently been received, and gave me
an idea of some of his problems. In
part he wrote as follows:
II am especially concerned that our
troops should not be engaged in actu.
al fighting in France until they are
there in such numbers and have made
such thorough preparation that their
first appearance will be encouraging
both to their own morale and to the
spirit of our people here. l think 1t
goes without saying that the Germans
will make very special effort to
strike swiftly and strongly against any
part Of the line which we undertake
to defend, in order to be able to re-
port to their people encouragingly
about our participation and also with
the object Of discouraging our soldiers
and our people as much as possible.
"In the matter Of selecting corps
and division commanders I constantly
feel that I ought to have your advice
and judgment. From all that you have
said. supplemented by all I have
learned elsewhere, the need for young
and physically strong men is apparent
and I am perfectly willing to 60 any
limit in meeting this requirement.
ut will, of course, necessitate pass
ing over substantial number of our
older generals who are very eager to
20 to France and who, in their own
ideas and that Of the country, have
certain right to be preferred. But
Of troops is, of course, a valuable con-
tribution to the cause and, whenever
can feel sure in the selection of the
younger man that he actually has the
capacity to develop to sufficient ex-
tent to justify his being preferred to a
man of greater experience shall not
hesitate"
MobiIizing of Army Delayed.
In view Of the emergency that was
80 clearly set forth by the Joffre and
Balfour missions when they visited the
United States, and which was con-
firmed after my arrival in France and
reported with all emphasis. l have
never been able to- understand the I'M
necessary delay caused by waiting six
months for the construction Of large
environments before calling out men
and assembling them for training.
OF course it was particularly urgent
that the specialists and laborers need
ed in France to build up our facilities
should have been provided as fast as
they could be profitably employed, but
nothing should have postponed the i'm
mediate mobilization of the combat
units Of the regular army and the Ma
tional Guard.

CHAPTER Xxx

Soon after the First division en-
tered quiet sector Of the Vosges the
peaceful aspect of the situation was
disturbed by German raid on an iso-
lated post Of the Sixteenth infantry
November 3, 1917. A group was caught
in box barrage and although the men
made a courageous resistance, three
were killed, five wounded and twelve
captured.
These were the first casualties that
had occurred in our army to units
serving in the trenches. The dead
were Corporal James B. Gresham and
Privates Thomas F. Enright and Merle
D. Hay, all Of company F.
The French took charge of the fu-
nerals and turned out a formal guard
in addition to our own. The services
were conducted by the French general,
Bordeaux, who came with his full staff
and delivered beautiful Grafton over
the graves. A large number of French
troops also came informally to pay
their final tribute. This joint homage
to our dead there under the fire of the
guns seemed to symbolic the common
sacrifices we were to make in the same
great cause.
Ammunition Question Acute.
The ammunition question again be-
came acute at that time, despite our
agreements with the French and their
nncitivo occuronooc fhof fhov 1yor,ld
make prompt deliveries, but their ex-
PLANTATION was that we had not fur
nished the full amount of raw mate
rial required.
In my early reference to the pros
poets Of procuring artillery Of 75mm.
and 155mm. calibers and ammunition
for its use, it had been expected that
nothing should diminish our efforts at
home in their manufacture, but when
the probability Of delay and possibly
failure of the French to furnish am
munitiOn for these guns was reported
to Washington my cable met the cont
placent reply, much to my surprise,
that "the French government must
furnish it, for there is no other way Of
getting it. At the present time there
is not in this country any actual out
put Of ammunition Of the types men-
toned. None has been expected"
Home Ports overerowded.
The difficulty of providing the
French with raw material was largely
traceable to the lack of shipping, and,
of course, the unscientific use of what
we had. The fact is that the ports at
home were overcrowded with all sorts
of material and supplies awaiting YES.
sells. The French had over 100000 tons
Of supplies at seaboard, which they
were unable to move, and were clam
oring for 10000 tons additional of
steel rails.
AS the situation in which we found
ourselves regarding artillery ammuni-
ton was approaching crisis, it be-
came necessary to lay the whole ques-
tion before the interallied munitions
board. After full investigation Of
their resources, both the French and
British concluded that they could un-
dertake to meet OUR requirements, with
the distinct understanding that their
plants must be greatly increased in ca
pacity and that we should furnish raw
materials promptly.

Of the War department general staff,

MINEOLA, Tex, April 8. R)- Interest in oil development in Wood county is running high since the chamber of commerce here re- gently posted an offer of $10,000 cash bonus for the first produc- tion in Wood county within ten miles of Mineola. Since this of- fer was posted fewer than 40 operators, including some of the larger companies, have expressed a desire to secure a drilling block within the offer of the Mineola chamber according to T. M. Ker- bow, secretary, according to the Denver Mining Record.
 The petroleum committee of the chamber is actively at work block ing acreage in Wood county. Two other committees are to start work at once, it was said
 While oil production is closer than ten miles of Mineola now, it is in Van Zandt county, and Min cola bushes men want produc- tion in Wood county. The Pure Oil Company is now core drilling for tests about two miles south east of Mineola in Wood county. Reports are that these tests are most encouraging.
 The Deep Rock Oil Company has made location for a test six miles north of Mineola, and work of erecting derricks is to start soon. -.
