CHAPTER Xiv

Further conversation ct the session
OF the supreme war council showed
the uncertainty in the minds of the
allies. Prime Minister Lloyd George,
reverting to losses, said that before
the great German attack in May he
had been informed positively the Ger
mans had only 100000 requirements
left, and that now, after the most VIC
lent fighting, in which it was reported
the Germans had suffered very heavy
losses, they still had more than 100000
requirements.
The allies also had 100000, but it
was now contended, he said, that the
British army was on the decline while
that of the enemy was not.
Mr.. Lloyd George asked if that
could be cleared up, to which General
Foch replied that it. was because the
enemy managed better, and he went
on to say that Germany, with popu-
lation of 100000 could maintain 204
divisions, while Great Britain, with
100000 inhabitants, could keep up
only 43. 1t had been stated that the
British counted on keeping up SO d.
visions, but that ten Of them would
be practically American.
Then, in response to further ques-
ton by Mr.. Lloyd George, General
Foch said he could not pretend to
say where Germany procured her re.
placements; possibly it might be from
prisoners returned from Russia.

CATARACTS DEVELOP FROM
OPTIC STRAIN AND ABUSE
Incorrect Use of Eyes Cause Is
Percent of Cataracts
By DR.. ]. Fred Andreae, State Board
of Examiners in Optometry

By DR.. ]. Fred Andreae, State Board
of Examiners in Optometry
The term cataract" to indicate a
disorder of vision is a misnomer and
originated from the fact that such a
disorder frequently gives one the i'm
preston of a mist or fog falling down
before their eyes, hence the term Scat
aract"
There are over eighty listed causes
of catracts, but three-fourths of them
may be summed up in this one head
ing: incorrect use of the eyes,"
Those who are the greatest suffer-
ers now are often those who have
abused or neglected their eyes the,
most in the previous years. Any type
of eye-strain will hasten or encour-,
age the development of this disorder.
Self-selected glasses purchased in a
store as merchandise; wearing the,
discarded glasses of some other men,
Der of the family, using incorrectly
fitted glasses, or in some cases, using
none at all, will cause the disorder to
rapidly develop.
The woman who persists in using
her eyes for extremely fine work for
long periods at a time, as we'll as
those who put off the wearing of
glasses, are good prospects for "cata-
racts," for, after all, more cataracts
develops from strain and abuse of the
eyes than from any other cause. 1t
is so often observed by eye examiners:
that the possessor of cataracts has
been guilty of neglecting the care of
her eyes, that every means possible is
taken to encourage frequent and per-
iodic eye examinations.
Some people are predisposed to
"cataracts" by their physical charac-
teristics. Defective kidneys or any
condition which tends to prevent the
proper elimination of the body pois-
ons, will aid or hasten the coming of
cataracts.

me that 100000 men would be the
limit we could hope to reach by the
spring of 1919.
This, roughly, would provide at least
sixty-six or possibly over seventy COM
Blatant divisions, the rest being neces-
sary for the noncombatant service. AS
we had hitherto made estimates based
upon total force of 100000 men, it
was quite imperative that calculations
should be made on the increased basis
and that work everywhere in the A.
E. F. should now have that end in
view.
A cable I sent June 81 set forth the
reasons for fixing the program for
the future definitely at 100000 men
as a minimum, and urged upon the
War department the utmost effort to
meet our immediate requirements for
the expansion of port facilities and
railroads. A detailed study of the
troop shipments and tonnage required
was included. My cable closed:
"There is nothing so dreadfully i'm
portant as winning this war, and every
possible resource should be made i'm
mediately available. Mr.. Secretary,
the question is so vital to our country
and the necessity of winning the war
is so great that there is no limit to
which we should not go to carry out
the plan 1 have outlined for the next
ten months, and we must be prepared
to carry it on still further after that.
at the same rate or maybe faster"

secure, giving heart to the French, who
were trying to stabilize their own po-
sitions around the newly formed sal
lent. We shall hear more of these two
divisions later. Although fully taken
for granted by all of us. it was none
the less gratifying to see these divi-
sions, for the first time in the line,
acquit themselves so well.
En- route to Chaumont we motored
eastward through Montmirail, passing
long columns of French refugees fee
ing from their homes, many on foot,
men and women with bundles on their
backs, leading the smaller children,
driving their stock before them and
hauling in various types of conveyance
the few remaining worldly goods they
were able to take with them. Almost
indescribable were many similar
scenes as reported by our troops as
they came up to reinforce the retiring
French.
1t seemed to me then that if this
picture of civilization engaged in the
persecution of innocent and unarmed
noncombatants, mostly women and
children, could be brought home to all
peoples, reason would be forced upon
rulers and governments where too
often their passions and ambitions as
sumo control.
AS a result of the German successes
against the French something akin to
a panic prevailed in Paris. Probably
a million people left during the spring
and there was grave apprehension

Brighter Prospects For Bloom
ingtOn Road

The first definite assurance that the
Bloomington Oakland road will be i'm
proved, says the Piedmont Herald of
last Thursday, came on Saturday
from Clinton Uhl, chairman of the
Maryland State Roads Commission,
when he assured delegation Of
Bloomington residents that he is in
favor of the improvement of the road
and would have three miles surveyed
within sixty days.
The distance from this community
to Oakland by the Bloomington road
is only % miles. Part Of this route
is over the Kitzmiller-O Oakland road
which has already been hard-surfac--
ed. Only twelve miles or so are I'M
improved. Just west of Bloomington
there is grade Of a mile or more and
beyond that the road is practically on
the level and could be built with few
curves.
The road would be connecting link
between several West Virginia and
Maryland roads and would greatly
shorten the distance between Cum
berland and Oakland, also providing a
route with only one short hill to
climb.
With this road improved Deep
Creek Lake, which affords splendid
facilities for fishing, boating and for
swimming, would be easily accessible
to the people of the Tri-Towns and
neighboring communities. Already To-
cal residents have purchased camp
sites on the lake and are planning the
erection of cottages there. With the
completion of the road many others
would erect cottages and the lake and
adjoining territory would become the
playground of this entire region. Due
to the high altitude, the temperature
there is usually several degrees cooler
than here in the Tri-Towns, and for
years has been a popular summer re-
sort. When the new road is COM
pleted it will be possible to drive to
the lake in little over half an hour.
With increased tourist traffic and
development of the lake region as
resort, the hard surfacing of the road
would prove great convenience to all
this section and profitable invest
ment for Garrett county.

Three Map Program.

Ihree Map program.
After further argument on diScrep-
ancies of various figures, and insist
ence by General Foch that the number
of divisions be maintained, the cOnsid-
GRAFTON of the transportation of Ameri-
can troops in June and July was re-
sumed. The discussion having reached
an impasse, it was suggested that Lord
Miner, British war minister, General
Foch and 1 should undertake to draw
up program.
In the consideration of the ques-
zion by us the point of my contention
was won when General Weygand, who
was Foch's principal adviser, re-
marked that it would be as well to
leave the new drafts to he trained at
home a month or so longer.
Although my arguments had failed
to make any impression on General
Foch, he at once approved Weygand's
suggestion.
Agreement on U. S. Troops.
With this out of the way we soon
drew up the agreement embodied In
the following cablegram sent to Wash
ington June 2:
"(a) For June: First, absolute pri-
ority shall be given the transportation
Of 10000 combatant troops (viz., six
divisions without artillery, ammuni-
ton trains or supply trains, amount
fp0 70 100 mn mon opd "A 000 rapIo m
ments for combat troops) second, 25s-
400 men for the service of railway, of
which 13,400 have been asked by the
French minister Of transportation !:
third, the balance to be troops of cate.
gories to be determined by the COM
mander in chief, American expedition
airy forces.
"(b) For July: First, absolute prl-
ority for the shipment of 100000 COM
blatant troops of the nature defined
above, four divisions minus artillery,
ETC., amounting to $4,000 men plus &c.
600 requirements; second, the balance
Of the 100000 to consist of troops to
be designated by the commander in
chief, American eXpeditionary forces.
"(c) 1t is agreed that if available
tonnage in either month allows the
transportation of a larger number of
men than 100000 the excess tonnage
will be employed in the transportation
of combat troops as defined above.
"(d) We recognize that the combat
ant troops to be dispatched in July
may have to include troops with in
sufficient training, but we consider the
present emergency to Justify a tenn
porary and exceptional departure by
the United States from sound prin-
ciples of training, especially as SINH
lar course is being followed by France
and Great Britain. (Signed)

CHAPTER XIV
The Second division assumed the Of
fensive June 6, 1918, and began a Sc
ries of attacks which eliminated some
three weeks later in the capture of the
last German positions in the Bots de
Belleau by its marine brigade and Of
Vaux by it's regular brigade.
The fighting during most of this Pc
Rod was of peculiar intensity. The
German lines were favorably located
on commanding ground and were made
more formidable by the extensive use
of machine guns, especially in Belleau
wood.
In the initial advance Harbords ma
rine brigade captured Bouresches, and
Lewis regular brigade took Triangle
farm and Bots de Ia Barette. During
the next few days our troops pro-
crossed piecemeal. June Is the Sew
enth infantry, Third division, arrived
to reinforce the marine brigade en-
gagged in the wood. This regiment re-
ieved the brigade on that date and
the marines were rested for a week.
when they again entered the line.
Against stubborn resistance, they
drove the enemy from the wood June
25.
Regulars Capture Vaux.
Meanwhile the regular brigade con-
tinued it's attacks intermittently, and
July l, with great dash, captured Vaux
and the Bots de la Roche. The opera
lions of the division in this vicinity
were practically at an end when the
new lines were stabilized on the high
ground captured from the enemy.
The casualties in the division were
about $500. More than 1900 prisoners
were captured from the enemy.
The gains by the Second division
were won with little aid on either
flank by the French units, which were
still in poor shape, and were made
against an enemy determined to crush
this early American effort. The sue
cess of this division and of the First
at Cantigny and the Third on the
Marine, following as they did the crisis
of May 81, were loudly acclaimed by
the French, and for the time being had
very stimulating effect upon French
morale.
With the transfer Of activities to
the French front northeast of Paris,
our plan to build up an American
corps near Amiens had become imprac-
ticable, and as 1 had offered General
Petain the services of our divisions
wherever they might be needed it now
appeared possible to form at least a
corps and possibly an army somewhere
along the Marine salient.
