tween Jaulgonne and Chateau Thierry,
and the Twenty-sixth. which. as we
have seen. had relieved the Second,
held sector between Torcy and vaux.
Infantry elements of the Twenty
eighth were south of the Marne, serv-
ing with the two French divisions on
either side of the Third; the entire
Forty-secOnd occupied support posi-
tion behind Gourauds front; the First
division was north of Meaux. and the
Second and Fourth were in reserve
near Chateau Thierry.
Surprise for the Enemy.
The German offensive was launched
on the early morning of July Is. as
expected. but 1t was met with sur
prise barrage put down by General
Gourauds artillery half an hour before
the start. The Germans attack for
nations were thrown into confusion
and their force seriously weakened to
begin with. BY evening, thanks to the
strong resistance they encountered.
the situation in that immediate sector
was not unfavorable.
Our Forty-second division became
engaged and sustained relatively heavy
losses. Its conduct on the first and
succeeding days brought high praise
from the French army commander.
Farther west the enemy crossed the
Marine. penetrating in one place as far
as FIVE miles. He struck our Third d.
vision. which was posted along the riv-
er, in a determined attempt to force
crossing between Mezy and Varennes,
and the fighting became intense. some
units of the Thirtieth and Thirty
eighth regiments holding this front be-
ing forced back. The stubbornness of
their resistance, however, broke up
the attack as a whole, and the Ger.
mans retired to the north bank.
Thirty-eight.' Distinguishes Itself.
On this occasion a single regiment
of the Third division (Col. U. G. Nc
AIexander's Thirty eighth) wrote one
of the most brilliant pages in our mill
tary annals. 1t prevented the crossing
at certain points on it's front. while on
either flank the Germans who had
gained a footing pressed forward. Our
men, firing in three directions, met the
German attack with cOunterattacks at
critical points, and succeeded in throw
ing two German divisions into COM
plete confusion.
Men from three different enemy di-
visions were captured by the Third in
the fighting of this day. By noon of
the sixteenth the attacks against its
line came to a halt.
The Germans were stopped to the
east of Rheims by GOurauds Fourth
army with but slight gains. while to
the southwest they got across the
Marine and made some progress to-
ward Epernay. The failure OF the at
tack in Champagne and the relatively
slight gains to which the Germans
were held to the west of Rheims on
the first day materially heartened the
allies.
Although there were some ten divi-
sions of the enemy remaining south of
the Marine, the very evident conclusion,
Judging from the results of the follow
ing two days and the losses he had
suffered, was that he would be unable
to continue the offensive.
Now that the allied armies were no
longer in jeopardy it seemed opportune

Brewster. Mr.. Whitney was asked to
be present at all the hearings, and
when the actual facts were brought
out, showing the efficiency of the medi-
cal department, he was most apollo
getic and thereafter was an enthusi-
astic supporter of the wisdom of the
censorship.
Fourth of July Observance.
The Fourth of July found me In
Chaumont. The French people there
never missed an opportunity to show
their pleasure at having us in their
midst and their appreciation of our aid
to the cause. The principal ceremony
of the day was reception to the off,
GERS of my headquarters by the local
French officials. both civic and mill
tary, and the prominent citizens at the
Hotel de Vile. This was an altogeth-
er delightful social gathering. includ-
ing series of suitable speeches.
The spirit of fraternity that pre-
vailed made it easy to respond. In
fact, on this, as often on similar occa-
sions, found myself almost as entbu-
siastic as the French speaker, though
perhaps less content with my effort.
The allies elsewhere did not forget
that it was our independence day, and
messages came from Clemenceau, Foch
and Haig and many others from all
over France.

their best equipped hospitals. We had
no hospitals on that front and with
limited transportation found 1t diff
cult to supplement the scant French
facilities. In fact. the situation as to
hospital accommodations for our
troops was about to reach a critical
stage.
In this connection cable was actu-
ally submitted by Mr.. Casper Whitney

disqualification and completion of
three corps headquarters and staff or
CARNATIONS occupied my attention the
last week of June. 1918.
Twelve of our divisions were then
either in line or in reserve behind the
French. five were in training in rear
of the British army. Of those with
the French, seven were concentrated
in the vicinity of Villers-C otterets and
Chateau-Thierry, between the French
front and Paris.
The British seemed to think the
French unduly nervous about the safe
ty of Paris, and that Foch was hold
ing a greater proportion of American
troops behind the French lines than
necessary. They believed there was
strong probability of another attack
against their front, and felt General
Foch was not paying enough attention
to their situation. However, they
probably did not realize that coun-
teroffensive was contemplated on this
front should the occasion present It.
self.
\ Corps Headquarters Organized.
The First corps headquarters, or
ganized in January under Maj. Gen.
Hunter Liggett, with Col. Malin Craig
as chief of staff, had become smooth
ly working machine ready for active
service anywhere. but events had
moved so swiftly there had been no
opportunity for the assembly of d.
visions. With the increasing size Of
our army it was evident that a greater
number of divisions would be able to
take part in operations at earlier
dates than we had thought possible.
Consequently, the organization Of the
Second. Third and Fourth corps head
quarters was at once completed.
The Second corps. Maj. Gen. George
Read commanding, with Col. George
Simonds as chief of staff, and limit
ed number of staff officers. was charged
with matters of administration and
command pertaining to the divisions
kehind the British front. The Third
corps, temporarily under Maj. Gen
William NJ. Wright, Col. Alfred Bjorn-
stad, chief of staff. continued to super.
wise training of divisions serving In
the Vosges area. The Fourth corps
was temporarily under the corps chief
of staff. Col Stuart Heintzelman. with
headquarters at TouL By the actual
constitution of these corps they were
expected soon to become efficient
enough to handle units in operations.
French Hospitals Deficient.
AS to hospitals. when our troops be-
came suddenly engaged in the Cha
teau-Thierry region we had to rely
largely upon the assistance of the
French to care for our wounded. AL
though they had given us every assur-
ance that hospital arrangements for
those operations would be complete,
and without question did their best, it
was only through the mobile hospitals
we had organized that we were able
to give our casualties proper attention.

CHAPTER XIX

A number of our divisions were
quite prepared to engage in any con-
templated offensive and their location
at the moment lent hope for the early
formation of one and probably two en-
tire corps of Americans.
Liggett's First corps had taken its
place in line July 4. with the Second
division (Harbord), relieved on the
10th by the Twenty-sixth (Edwards),
and q French division under its direc-
ton. The corps staff had been shaken
down to the routine of it's work and
had become in every respect an effi
cient group, performing its functions
with the confidence and precision
worthy of the more experienced stats
of the allied armies.
During an inspection trip July II to
the headquarters of the First corps
had lunch with General Hartford at
Nanteuil- sur- Marine, where his division
was resting. He told of marine in
his division who had captured seventy
five German prisoners single-handed.

600 prisoners. Advised Foch that
the Thirty-second and Twenty
ninth divisions are available at
once.
Five other divisions have been
placed at his disposal. Situation

The intelligence services of all the
allied armies had been exerting every
endeavor to discover the enemy's plans,
with the result that for some days 1t
appeared almost certain that his next

The fact that General Read and his
officers and men were keen to get into
the battle went far to excuse him. 1t
seems needless to add also that the
splendid behavior of the troops in the
operation was a decided argument in
favor of leniency. This division also
afterward displayed the same eager
ness to get at the enemy in several
hard-fought engagements during the
trying days of the Meuse-Argonne.

We fell to discussing the probable

length in his conjectures.

He replied: "The Germans are a

Discuss Troop Shipments.
Shortly after our return to Chau-
mont, Generals Foch and Weygand
arrived and after lunch we all went
into conference. The continuation of
shipments up to one hundred divisions.
as already recommended by the prime
ministers, Lloyd George, Clemenceau,
and Orlando, formed the basis of
French argument.
The whole subject was thoroughly
discussed, and. considering the then
shortage of man power claimed by the
French and British, to say nothing of
the possible increase of the German
armies from Russian sources. the main
question was to get over as many
Americans as possible. 1t was finally
agreed that we should propose an
eighty-division program to be complet-
ed by April, 1919. and add to it the
larger program Of one hundred divi-
sions to be completed by July, 1919.
