ASSOCIATE BACKS
CHIEFS CRITICISM
Former QuartermaSter Off,
Ger Says Pershing's Com
plants Were Justified.

CHICAGO, January % (N.AN.A).-
Gen. John j. Pershing was justified In
his criticism Of the lethargy and in
efficiency of the military establishment
six months after this country declared
war.
This was the view expressed here to-
day by Gen. Robert E. Wool. president
of Sears Roebuck 81 Co. and Acting
Quartermaster General of the Army
from the Spring OF 1918 to the Spring
of 1919, when he resigned to enter bust
ness In Chicago.
The American commander in chief
tells in MY Experiences in the World
War" of the difficulties he met in out
fitting and equipping with supplies and
ordnance materials the first troops sent
overseas.
Received LawnmOwers.
IT have often wondered what manner
of man was responsible for shipping
such things. whether on supply tables
or not, thereby wasting tonnage, when
Winter clothing, building material, steel
and lot of real necessities we're being
delayea," wrote Gen. Pershing after
telling Of the shipment to France of
bathbricks, bookcases. bathtubs, floor
wax, lawnmowerS, window shades and
stepladders:

early part Of the war, when Gen. PERISH
ing did have this trouble" said Gen.
Wood. Il was in France then myself.
It was these criticisms of the COM
mander IN chief that caused the shake
up. with the result that the organiza-
ton and the equipment of the Army
for victory went forward more and
more along the lines of moiern war
fare"
The observations Of Gen. Pershing
covered the period from May to Novem-
Der, 1917, Gen. George W. Goethals,
the builder Of the Panama Canal, was
made Acting Quartermaster General in
December, 1917 in which capacity he
served until February, 1918, when he
became chief Of the Division of Pur-
chases, Storage and Traffic.
Succeeded GoethaIs.
The commander in chiefs criticisms
and vigorous representations brought
about the introduction of new methods
in creating a fighting Army, according
to Gen. Wood. New men took hold of
the military machine with desired re-
suits" he said. The delays and con-
fusion Of the early part of Americas
participation were overcome Gen.
Pershing's criticism of these delays, the
confusion and inactivity is certainly
justified.
However, I have no personal knowl-
edge Of the extent Of the difficulties at
the beginning, as I was at that time in
France as colonel Of the Infantry in
the 42d Division. I was sent back to
the United States to become Acting
Quartermaster General after Gen,
Goethals took over the work in the
Division Of Purchases, Storage and
Traffic"
The former Quartermaster General is
West Pointer of the class of 1900, who
saw service in Panama and the Phil
ippines, and was assistant to Gen. w.
w. Atterbury in clearing up the ports
OF entry for American supplies and men
in France.
