PERSHING ARTICLES
MADE NO ENEMIES
General, Returning Soon to
France, WIN Find Warm
Welcome.

Gen. Pershing, having virtually mn
ished publication Of his World War
Memoirs, can 60 back to France or
other allied countries assured Of the
same warm welcome he has received on
his numerous visits since the arTnistfce,
because nothing he has written has
wounded nationalistic feelings, even
though he has been extremely candid in
his history Of the conflict and It's OUT
standing figures.
In fact, he is planning to go to France
within the next month or six weeks on
duties connected with the American
Battle Monuments Commission, Of which
he Is chairman, and which Is bringing
to a close its work of marking the
graves OF American soldiers buried in
France, as wen as in erecting suitable
memorials to them.
Credit Given to Others.
That French historians and military
men do not agree with all Of Gen. Per-
shing's statements or conclusions goes
without saying, but he has written on
a, high plane, with malice toward
none" and especially has he given the
other commanders credit for sincere
motives where sharp disagreements
arose.
The reactions in allied and ex-enemy
countries alike have been noteworthy
for the absence OF bitter denials and re-
ordinations. Those who have fol-
Expeditionary Forces part IN the war
attribute this to the foregoing clean-hit-
ting version of that participation by
Gen. Pershing. Some other American
books on the war have aroused resent-
n1ent because they credited the allied
leaders with sinister motives IN some OF
their conduct, particularly In the effort
20 balk Pershing's stand for distinct
American Army.
without Offensive Criticism.
Gen. Pershing, for instance, related
the tense interview with Marshal Foch
on this issue of . separate American
Army. Emotion on the part o. each was
high, yet the presentation, though
marked by rejection of Foch's point Of
view, Is without offensive criticism, even
though Pershing laid down the law"
emphatically on the American intention
to avoid submergence of the doughboys
IN allied armies.
Gen. Pershing loves France. He has
STAYED as long as nine months at o
time there since the war. That he Is
glad Of the opportunity to return shortly
is evident, for official duties are not
heavy in the battle monuments task and
the general finds much that Is congenial
In the climate and people.
Incidentally, he was In France last
year when the first contingent Of Gold
Star Mothers arrived from the United
States to visit the graves Of their soldier
sons and made q moving speech Of
greeting to them. He probably will be
in France In May this year, when the
first 1891 contingent OF mothers arrives
for the second pilgrimage.

session OF Ia Tuilerie Farm, Just south
of Beaumont.
This exploit reversed a scene of the
Franco russian War where a French
division was surprised in its bivouac
around Beaumont, in the opening phase
of the battle Of Sedan by a German
night advance through the same forest.
The success Of the attack IN the
center, November J., compelled the re-
tirement Of the enemy on the entire
front Of the 1st Corps The Both Divis-
ion on the I'd reached the new. Ger
man defensive position, broke through
it and took Buzancy. The following
day, against heavy fire, the 80th estab-
lished its line along the road running
southeast from st. Pierremont.
The nth Division now succeeded IN
passing Chamigneulles, and by the
night of the I'd had reached Harri-
court. The following morning 1t drove
the enemy to the hill north OF 81.
Pierremont, where it was held up by
heavy machine gun fire.
The 18th Division captured the Bo1s
des Loges the I'd, and established us
line along the eastern edge OF the Bo1S
de Bourgogne north to Briquenay, and,
continuing on the Sd, captured Germon'
and Verrieres.
Spends Day at Front.
My diary notes:
"Souilly, Thursday, November Z, 1918.
Had long talk with Stettinius about
ordnance on Monday. Visited I'd Army
Headquarters and found indications OF
withdrawal on that front.
Spent the day at front. Went
through Grandpre, overtaking Dick
mans LIST Corps Headquarters at Har-
ricourt; he was pushing troops toward
Sedan. Returned through st. Juvin
and found traffic in difficulties, many
trucks having run of the road In the
| darkness. Gave directions to use lights
en- all motor transport.
Received letter from Marshal Foch
today asking for six American divisions
for new offensive south OF Metz. Our
advance has been continuous. Recon-
mended Harbord and McAndrew Tor
promotion to grade OF lieutenant gen.
eral."
BY November 4 the enemy, greatly
| disorganized, was retiring before the
vigorous pursuit of our troops on the
| entire front of the LIST Army. His
withdrawal was strongly protected by
! cleyerly- placed machine guns and vel
| organized delaying operations.
| The following telegram came TO me
! on the afternoon of the 5th:
| The operations begun NoVempeL
! by the 1st American Army, due to the
valor of the command and to the en-
ergy and bravery of the troops, have
already assured results of great inn
! portance am happy to send you my
congratulations. FOCH.

And speaking Of fighting, there was

him a couple Of clouts on the whisk-

Alley took the first fall in twenty

Lack of proper ventilation and the
overcrowded condition of our school

1t has taken several years Of careful
management to arrive at the point
where the financial condition of the
District would permit the floating Of
a building bond. The time has now ar
rived when such an issue can be
handled without any increase in tax
es.
The opportunity Of taking work of
a vocational nature has been lacking
in the Plentywood schools because of
the lack Of suitable room. The re-
quest and need for an enlarged pro-

repeatedly. Just this past week our

Thieves STEAL FLAX
FROM LOCAL FIR N

Some sneak thief slipped up to
the McKee-Stenehjem granary in
the west part of Plentywood dur
ing Monday night and stole about
twenty bushels of their registered
Bison Flax seed which they were
holding for farmers to call for.
1t happened some time after mid
night, and most likely after 3 a.
M, at which time the police man
ceases patrolling our streets and
alleys.
The culprits had bored holes in The
outside wall and allowed the seed t.
u on the ground from where it hat
been scooped up and loaded into 9
truck.
1t is very evident the guilty partie:
were familiar with the granary ant
L--w In just what part cf the gran
airy and against which wall the fla,
had been stored, but just who helpet
themselves to this seed is going to b.
a difficult matter to determine a,
there have been scores Of farmers
who have visited this granary to lool
at the seed. 1t was all sold and merel.
awaiting delivery to the rightful own
ers.
Several leads have been obtained b.
the sheriff and it is to be hoped tina
the guilty parties will be apprehendet
before the seed is in the ground.
Considerable petty thieving is go
ing on all over this territory lately
and most of it is done by parties wht
are so financially depressed the!
have to resort to such methods.
