MORE HEAT WITH LESS FUEL

Not only is this radiant fame much hotter than
a non-luminous flame, but it is located where it
should be right at the CRATE level. That's
where the coolest water is found in the boiler -.
and everyone knows that cold water absorbs heat
faster than warm water. In this way Petro~Nokol
cuts your fuel bill still lower.

in the world 1t happens, sir, that we
do so we'll I do not see.
"Here we have come 5000 miles to
help them and yet we are treated like
mendicants on the street corner hold
ing a tin cup for passing pennies.
II know, sir, that cooperation is
necessary If we hope to win the war
but 1t requires an excessive effort on
our part, with more failures than 9TH
erwise to our credit"
This was harsh comment, but there
were times in the experience Of most
officers when it seemed to fit the case
fairly well.
Officers Found Lax.
With reference to the inspection trip
noted in my diary, had recently In
spected several stations like Vittel and
Bourbonne-les-B ains, which were COM
manded by regular officers, Of whom,
naturally, much was expected, but be-
fore the World war our army had al
ways been more or less careless in
dress and none too strict when in the
field, and these men were no exception
to the rule. Even higher commanders
were often found neglectful of their
appearance and lax in the enforcement
Of disciplines.
But the conditions Of service in
France demanded more serious atten-
ton to these essentials, not only as a
matter of pride but because Of the gen.
eral effect upon morale and efficiency.
Good discipline is the first requisite to
successful military effort, and the de-
gree of It's enforcement in command
is an almost certain index to the char
acter of performance to be expected
in battle.
Likewise, an officer or soldier who
takes no pride in his personal appear
ance is usually found careless in other
respects and to that extent less reli-
able in time of stress. 1t need hardly
be added that those of this class who
came under my observation and did
not Immediately respond to correction
were very soon replaced.

CHAPTER XVIII

Once General Bliss and had reached
an understanding as to our attitude to-
ward amalgamation of our troops with
the British he gave me his support in
later conferences. When we saw the
British representatives for further
talks at Versailles January 90, 1913,
all their arguments were met frankly
and squarely. After they had present
ed their case Prime Minister Lloyd
George asked Bliss for his views, to
which he replied:
"Pershing will speak for US and
whatever he says with regard to the
disposition of the American troops will
have my approval"
An agreement was then signed by
Mr.. Lloyd George, General Maurice
and myself as set forth in the follow
ing copy Of the memorandum submit
ted and lated cabled to Washington:
"In order to meet the situation as
presented by Sir William Robertson
and hasten the arrival and training of
troops, it is proposed that the British
government use the available sea
transportation in question for bring
ing over the personnel Of entire divi-
sions under the following conditions:
II. That the infantry and auxiliary
troops of these divisions be trained
with British divisions by battallons,
under such plan as may be agreed
upon.
"2. That the artillery be trained un-
der American direction in the use of
French material as at present.
IS. That the higher commanders
and staff officers be assigned for train.
ing and experience with corresponding
units of the British army.
~. That when sufficiently trained,
these battalions be reformed into regi-
ments and that when the artillery is
fully trained all the units comprising
each division be united under their
own officers for service.
"5. That the above plan be carried
out without interference with the plans
now in operation for bringing over
American forces.
"6. That question Of supply be ar
ranged by agreement between the Brit
fish and American commanders in chief.
~. That question of arms and equip
ment be settled in similar manner"
War Council Meets Again.
The supreme war council began its
third session January 80. At the open
ing session Mr.. Lloyd George made a
statement in some detail Of the situa-
ton on the allied fronts. He then
spoke Of the large number of casual
ties the allies had suffered during 1917
and in a very pointed manner declared
that the costly Offensives had pro-
duced no tangible results. But in
stead, he said, the allies now found
themselves short OF man power at a
critical period of the war. His sharp
criticism was evidently directed at Sir
Douglas Haig and General Robertson,
but neither was given an opportunity
to reply.
The military representatives pre-
scented a joint note with reference to
military policy, as directed at the De
cember meeting, and the opinion given
was identical with that of the confer
ence at COmpiegne January "a and
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1931-07-02

that he would send an official to study
our situation, and Haig later sent one
of his officers, who offered many sug-
gestions out his own experience.
1t was the sense of the conference
that every assistance should be given
US in getting our troops across, and all
seemed fully to realize that no sue
cessful offensive could be undertaken
without them.
Bliss Favors British Plan.
Conversations with General Robert
son cOntin. ed the next day at the
Crillon hotel in Paris, with General
Bliss present. The same arguments
were repeated in favor of Incorporate
ing American units into British divis-
ions, and General Bliss expressed him
self in favor of the Robertson plan. l
was forced to declare myself then and
there. My stand was not quite what
Robertson had expected, and the meet
ing adjourned with the position of all
concerned no longer in doubt.
General Bliss and 1 met later by ap-
pointment to talk the matter over be-
tween ourselves and, if possible, come
to an understanding. After some dis
cussion he suggested that each of us
cable his views to Washington and ask
for decision. It was not my policy
then or at any other time to put any
thing up to Washington that 1 could
possibly decide myself.
This would have been the last thing
to do in this case, especially as the
secretary had left in my hands the de-
termination as to how our troops
should be employed. For two men in
our positions to have appealed in this
way would have indicated clash, and
Washington had enough trouble; be-
sides, the secretary could not possibly
have been sufficiently in touch with
the undercurrent of these negotiations
to make a wise decision.
So l said, "Iyell, Bliss, do you know
what would happen if we should do
that? We would both be relieved
from further duty in France, and that
is exactly what we should deserve"
We then spent some time examining
the question from all angles, until
finally he came around to my view and
said: II think you are right, and
shall back you up in the position you
have taken"

CHAPTER xxx

At the ports in France the amount Of
freight discharged in January, 1918,
was more encouraging, being about
two-fifths as much as during the pre-
ceding seven months. The rate Of dis
charge was accelerated to some extent
by the better distribution Of our trans
ports by the navy. More construction
material was being delivered where It
was needed for port works and the fu-
ture was somewhat clarified In this re-
spect by the arrival of additional log
ging machinery.
During the month there was also an
increase in troop shipments, including
some elements Of the Thirty-second
(Haan's) division, with 10000 men for
the service of supply. By the end of
January approximately 10000 combat
troops, $4,000 engineer troops and g.
900 others for the service Of supply
were in France. Although promising,
this was only the merest start, as we
were still far behind our schedule.
It must be added, however, that the
increase in the arrivals Of men and

There continued to be considerable
cause to find fault with the attitude
and methods of French bureau
officials.
Apropos the experience of many Of
our officers, recall that one of the
most efficient on duty at very impor-
tant port once said to me:
