CHAPTER XVII

Every one in authority realized that
all resources the allies could muster
would be required to meet successfully
the great offensive of the central pow
ers expected in the spring, but to use
them effectively close cooperation
among commanders would be impera-
tive. With this in mind | proposed to
Premier Clemenceau that the COM
manders in chief and chiefs of staff
get together to examine the situation
and. if possible. determine general
program of combined action.
NJ Clemenceau at once approved the
suggestion. 1t was also favorably re-
ceived by General Foch, who. it will
be recalled, was chief of the French
general staff. | proposed that the
meeting be held at my headquarters,
but the French selected Compiegne.

and suggested a general statement as
to: Q) Mutual support between allied
armies, (2) Situation as to reserves,
(3) Question of troops in Italy, (4)
Situation as to the transportation of
the American army and facilities given
it in France.
Petain Favored Defensive.
General Petain thought that for the
present the allies would be forced to
remain on the defensive because of
lack of men. He said the French army
had ninety-seven divisions with an in
fantry strength of from 5000 to 5000
men each, some thirty-odd of these di-
visions being in reserve and the rest
in the trenches besides eight cavalry
divisions. two of which were dismount-
ed and six mounted.
All divisions he thought could be
kept up until April if there should be

hidden the use of strong drink and
protected by stringent regulations
against other evils and supported by
their own moral courage, their good
behavior is the subject of most IA
vorable comment, especially by our
allies. American mothers may rest
assured that their sons are credit
to them and the nation"

to get their mother to go for a ride
with him yesterday and that she had
refused.
Left Home in Evening
Melvin Korchenko told the officials
that his mother left home about 7:3O
p. m. Tuesday, saying she was going
to q drug store to obtain a plaster
for Lodon's chest. Daniel said thai
when he came home shortly before
IL o'clock, the mother had not yet
returned.
Evidence that the body may have
been brought to the place where it
was found In an automobile was seen
there this morning.
There was a pool of blood on the
curb Of the street near the spot
where the body lay and blood was
smeared across, the Sidewalk from
the curb to the hedge, indicating that
the body was dragged across it.
Several bloodstained spots near the
pool Of blood looked as If they might
have been imprinted by shoes, or
possibly even stocking feet. There
were blood drops along the sidewalk
northward toward a gate in front Of
the Savora home, and there were
stained spots, probably tracked by
shoes, leading south as far as the
street intersection.
After looking over the scene,
OLeary said it appeared to him that
the body may have been left at the
curb by some n in an automobile.
It appeared also, he said, that who
ever left the body by the curb might
have driven past the corner and
then, on second thought, might have
returned on foot to drag the body be-
hind the hedge.
Neighbors in the vicinity Of the
rooming house informed police that
they heard sounds about six o'clock
this morning which res e m b d
groans. Other evidence, however, in
Guiding the condition Of the body
would indicate that it had lain where
1t was found several hours before the
discovery.
