CHAPTER XVI

Having learned that, despite my
recommendations, little or no attention
was being given at home to the i'm
portance of teaching our men the use
of the rifle, it seemed necessary again
to emphasize my views, especially
after further knowledge Of its neglect
in allied armies.
The infantry soldier, we'll trained in
stealthy approach and in the art of
taking cover, makes a small target
and, if an expert rifleman, there is
nothing that can take his place on the
battlefield.

My diary notes the following:
Chaumont, Wednesday, Sept. 26,
1917.-The French agree that WEI
should retain exclusive jurisdic-
ton over American soldiers in
France.

ton delays storehouse construction
by requesting views of French
commissioner regarding our ne
ceSsities.
Have again cabled relative to
carelessness and delay in loading
of transports.
The War department had brought up
the question of civil jurisdiction over
the members of our forces in France
and had inquired regarding the atti-
tude of the French.
My judge advocate, Col. w. A..
Bethel, presented our opinion to the
French authorities, which was that &C.
cording to the principles of interna-
tiOnal law, and in view of the condi-
tions under which the American army
was serving in France, it's members
should not be subject to criminal pros
ecution in Franch courts but should be
answerable only to our own military
tribunals. This view was readily &C.
cepted by the French, and very prop
erly the jurisdiction over our forces,
both civil and military, remained in
our hands.

The HosnltaI Problem.

The medical departments plans con-
stantly received my careful attention
through frequent conferences with the
chief surgeon, Colonel Bradley, and his
assistant, Colonel Ireland. Our prob
lem of handling the sick and wounded
was mere difficult than that of any OF
the allies, as we had no civil hospitals
of our own available. Full provision,
therefore, had to be made for hospital
accommodations in France, as only
convalescents manifestly unfit for fur
ther service could be sent home. The
early estimates submitted in August,
based upon small force of 100000
men, called for $4,000 beds in perma-
nent, semipermanent or temporary hos
pitfalls, and plans for expansion were
in hand to keep pace with the expect
ed requirements of our armies once
they should become engaged. While
this beginning appeared quite liberal,
yet it was calculated to meet further
demands Of the immediate future.
All the facilities through France
were available for the French, yet
they had so many sick and wounded
that their hospital resources were
pretty we'll exhausted. AS there
seemed to be only few suitable build
ings that could be assigned to us we
had to plan considerable new construc-
tion. This required additional labor
oil Of yvh
scarce, and although there was some
delay we managed by persistent effort
to keep pace with requirements.
Danger of Coal Shortage.
The destruction by the German
army of the mines of northern France
had forced the Importation from Eng
land of a large proportion Of the coal
needed for various purposes in both
France and Italy. Lack of cross-chan-
mel tonnage had produced serious
situation, and the danger of coal short
age during the approaching winter
gave us much concern. Italy was even
worse off, due to the greater distance
from the source Of supply.
The outcome of our efforts, with the
very effective assistance Of Admiral
Mayo, was that some GOLFERS, one Of
which was already at Brest, were or
dered into service for immediate use,
and these were supplemented later by
vessels from the shipping board. An
organized cross-channel service was
completed under the control Of our
quartermaster department and later
transferred to the transportation de-
partment. Although the coal question
became more or less critical at vari-
GUS times, in the main we were fairly
well supplied.

science, based upon definite knowl-
edge relating to the behavior Of air
under all known conditions, Lewis
asserted.
The newest and probably most in
teresting application Of manufac-
tured air is in its application to
railway passenger cars, but a most
fertile and almost untouched field
will be found in homes.
While an average Of $4,000 homes
valued at $4,000 and over are built
annually in this country. not more
than 1000 have been conditioned
in the last three years. And there
are less than half a dozen office
buildings out of $500 which are air.
conditioned. Hospitals, churches,
and hotels are conspicuous for the
absence Of any systems.
All this, Lewis feels, points to a
great growth in this vital industry,
and he predicts that within a few
years no hospital will be built with
out these benefits.
Not only will health be bnefted,
but an excess of something like
100000 additional kilowatts of
power will be utilized, offering an
outlet for additional electric energy.
Since ice is used for conditioning
air in homes and small installations,
Lewis sees in manufactured weather
the salvation of the ice industry
now suffering from competition
offered by the household mechani-
cal refrigerator. Over 10000 tons
of ice, valued at a wholesale price
Of 100000 will be used, he predicted.

that Progressives will join in the

The XII Plenum of the ECCI most
emphatically emphasizes: that the
activity of the Communist Parties
in capitalist countries in the strug-
gle against the war danger, de-
ponds upon the activity of every
single Communist, and will deter
mine whether the sympathy which
the broad masses of workers, the
toiling peasants and the nations
oppressed by the capitalist coun-
tries feel towards the U.S.S.R. will
be converted into an active revo-

The XII. Plenum of the ECCI
calls the attention of all Sections
of the CT to the insufficient popu-
larization of the teachings of Lenin
on war, and particularly to the de-
cisions of the vi. Congress of the
C. 1. on the methods OF struggle
against the war danger and the
danger of military intervention
against the U.S.S.R. The slogan of
converting imperialist war into civil
war against the bourgeoisie at

of oral and written propaganda
among the broad masses of the

the most popular slogan among the

part of the struggle against the
danger of war and the menace OF

The XII Plenum of the ECCI re-
minds all Communists of the in
structions of the II Congress laid
down by Lenin:
THE duty of spreading Conn
munist ideas includes the special
necessity of persistent systematic
propaganda among the troops.
Wherever this agitation is prohI-
bited by exceptional laws, it must
be carried on illegally. Refusal to
carry out such work is tantamount
to the betrayal of revolutionary
duty and is incompatible with menu

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-05-16

The fact that, in spite of the
feverish preparations made by in
ternational imperialism and the
social democratic parties of the
Second International, war has not
broken out is due to the antagon-
isms in the camp of the imperial
lists and particularly to the grow
ing readiness of the proletarian
masses in the capitalist and colo
NAL countries to support the pro-
letarian dictatorship in the USSR
and to the consistent policy Of
peace pursued by the Worker and
Peasant Government of the USSR.
In spite of the slanderous cam
paigns of the bourgeoisie and the
social-democratic parties regarding
the policy of the CPSU-the enor-
nous achievements of the worker
and peasant masses in the USSR
more and more win the sympathy
of the toiling masses of the I'M
periahst and colonial countries to-
wards the USSR. The number of
workers and peasants who are pre-
pared to defend the USSR actively
and revolutionarily as their only
fatherland, is undoubtedly growing
and far exceeds the political sphere
of influence of the Communist Par
ties. It IS beyond doubt also that
the work of the Comintern in de-
:ense of the USSR has. become one

of the most important factors for
the preservation of peace, factor
which caused the postponement of
the imperialist slaughter.
Nevertheless it must be stated
that the intensity of the struggle
against the danger of war and
against the danger of intervention
in the USSR, does not at all COR
respond to the intensity with which
the imperialists are preparing for
war against the USSR. The agita-
ton against the war danger is not
carried on Systematically, and in
many cases only from campaign
to campaign. The fundamental
weakness of the work of the Com
munists in the fight against the
danger of an intervention war is
that the concrete measures being
taken in preparation for war in
parliamentary commissions, in the
imperialist armies and in the war
industry are not sufficiently ex-
posed to the masses. The Commun-
ist Parties have not yet learned
how to explain to the masses suf-
ficiently clearly the connection that
exists between the war preparations
of the imperialists an dthe growth
of the exploitation and suppression
of the oppressed masses. They
have not yet learned how to expose
