that l should attend AS the purpose
Of a council seemed to be more for po-
litical coordination tnan for purely
military control, I told him that 1t
seemed best for me not to participate
without some intimation from my Gov
eminent to do so.
In the afternoon, at NJ. Painleve's re-
quest. called on him, and he also told
me of the proposal to form supreme
war council and wanted me to 60 to
the conference in Italy. gave him the
same reply that I had given Mr.. Lloyd
George.
Shortly thereafter the Rapallo meet
ing was held, resulting in an agree
ment among the prime ministers Of
the governments participating, Great
Britain, France and Italy. The de-
Cisions of the council are set forth as
follows:
"(1) With a view to the better CO.
ordination CT military action On the
western front, a supreme war council
is created composed of the prime
minister and a member of the govern
ment of each Of the great powers
whose armies are fighting on that
front The extension Of the scope Of
the council to other fronts is reserved
for discussion with the other great
powers.
"(Zb Inc supreme war council mas
for its mission to watch over the gen.
eral conduct of the war. 1t prepares
recommendations for the decisions of
the governments, and keeps itself in
formed of their execution, and reports
thereon to the respective governments.
"(3) The general stats and military
commands of the armies of each power
charged with the conduct of military
operations remain responsible to their
respective governments.
20 The general war plans drawn up
by the competent military authorities
are submitted to the supreme war coun-
Gil which, under the high authority of
the governments, insures their con-
cordance, and submits, if need be, any
necessary changes.
"(5) Each power delegates to the
supreme war council one permanent
military representative, whose exclusive
! function is to act as technical adviser
| to the council
go The military representatives re-
ceive from the government and the
| competent military authorities Of their
| country all the proposals, information
and documents relating TO the conduct
/ OF the war
| "(D The military representatives

forces, and of the means Of all kinds
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-30

British army commanders, in friendly
spirit of cooperation, had made a joint
study Of the military problem on the
western front as a whole and then had
seriously undertaken to pull together, as
though under one control, the supreme
war council would never have been
born. And yet, when one analysed 1t,
harmony seemed very improbable with
two peoples of such different points of
view. For example, as we have seen, the
offensive in the Spring of 1917, which
was under French leadership, received
only half-hearted approval by the Brit
ish. Then later on. when the British
undertook their offensive, the French
were in no position to attack at the
same time, so each apparently made
plans Independently and any advantage
attained was purely local, with little
material effect upon the final outcome.
The supreme war council made IA
vorable start and gave the impression
that a wise and conservative exercise
of its really unlimited powers would
characterize its actions. 1t refrained
from interfering directly with military
commanders and operations and con-
fined itself largely to questions of
policy, such as the coordination OF
allied resources and the conservation
and distribution of allied strength
However, as time went on, the supreme
war council assumed greater and greater
authority over military questions.
Conflict With Wilson Ideals.
AS to the political situation, the I'M
dercurrent at the moment, as nearly as
could be learned, showed a continued
lack of accord among the different ma
tons, which were not at all in agree
ment with President Wilson's ideals.
Each had its own aspirations and each
sought to gain some advantage over
the others Some of the divergent war
aims had to do with territory distant
from France and troops were sent that
might have been more usefuly en-
ployed on the western front.
In a letter to Secretary Of War
Baker incloSed a memorandum which
was a report of conversation held by
a man in my confidence with a British
official high up in the counsel of Great
Britain. The date of this conversation
was october "a, 1917:
Perhaps it should not be taken too
seriously" I wrote, but it is an indi-
cation of the British attitude"
In this conversation the British Off
cial declared:
THE European allies and America
are not fighting for the same thing.
Mr.. Wilson thinks great deal more Of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-30

of which the allied armies and the
enemy armies dispose.
"t3) The supreme war council meets
normally at Versailles, where the per-
manent military representatives and
their staffs are assembled. 1t may
meet at other places as may be agreed
upon. according TO circumstances. The
meetings of the supreme war council
will take place at least once a month.
The permanent military representa-
tives will be as follows:
For France-Gen. FoCh.
For Great Britain--Gen. Wilson.
For Italy-Gen. Cadorna."
BY the inclusion Of subparagraph az
it would seem that the prime ministers
had 1t in mind to assume greater con-
troll of operations If it should appear
necessary While the commanders in
chief of the allied armies were expected
to attend meetings Of the council. ana
usually did so, and freely expressed
their views, yet they were net members
and had no vote.
The creation of this council did not
meet with universal approval, the COM
manders of the British and French
armies and many high officials in civil
circles being opposed to 1t. Military
commanders were afraid it would re-
suit in undue interference with the
conduct OF operations, and in dertsion
it was often referred to as the Soviet.
The British Army viewed it with con-
siderable suspicion, thinking 1t might
substitute politicians as directors Of the
strategy CT the war. A stronger central
control by the French was advocated by
influential French papers. in the fear
that France might not have as much
to say in allied affairs as Heretofore.
It's formation indicated, however. a
realization that allied success had been
retarded from the beginning by lack Of
co-ordinated effort
The formation Of the council was a
step in the direction of unified COM
mand, which was, no doubt, the reason
why most British as well as French Of
fcers and a considerable number of
those in high civil positions were luke
warm toward it, yet not a few who
spoke against the council at the time
said later that they were always in ia
vor of unified control. The action of
the three governments at Rapallo was
approved by President Wilson Novem-
Der II, and that fact appeared in the
press a day or so later.
The Presidents action strengthened
| the hands of those who favored the
council and probably became the influ-
ence that saved it.
| The fact is that if the French and

his ideas Of people governing them
selves, of a friendly working arrange
ment among all the great powers after
the war, than he does of territorial or
specific things going to this or that
country. What he wants is to smash
the German military power and have
a society of democratic nations after
ward. But to England France and
Italy these things are phrases, useful
perhaps, but of secondary interest.
England wants to maintain her CO.
lonial possessions, to keep her position
on the sea and her commercial peace
In the world. We know what France
wantS-AlSace-Lor as indemnity
and security for the future. Italy has
definite territorial claims. Thus the
governments of these countries think
great deal about what they want for
themselves and less about ideals, unless
these ideals are identical to success.
So there is no clear unity among the
allies in Europe and America
Propaganda Played Part.
Experienced allied officers in position
to know were of the opinion that the
Italian army, especially its artillery, was
not as efficient as it ought to have been,
and that the training, of officers es-
pecially, hid been neglected. The view
also prevailed that German socialist
propaganda was in measure rcSpon-
sible for the Italian defeat at Capo-
r~tto.
It was believed that by inundating
the army with the same doctrines that
had ruined Russia, Germany made the
defeat of the Italian I'd Army less diff
cult when attacked by specially trained
German troops, whose presence and in
tentions ought to have been known be-
fore the attack.
At any rate, whether this view was
entirely correct or not, there was sutfi-
Gent reason for me to warn our War

~ REAkFASTING with me in Paris,
- November 4, 1911, the British
piIme minister, MIR Lloyd
80 George referred 10 the Italian
deieaV III Caporetto rs beng a
most serious disaster, and pointed out
that sending British and French diyI-
sions TO LAY mai ma ,erlaAy weakened
the lines III France Mr. Lloyd George
also spoke at some length on the lack
OF concerted action among The allied
armies
agreed with him and added that

between the British and French; that
when one was attacking the other was
usually standing still, and that the
Germans were thus left free to con-
centrate their reserves against the
threatened point.
We were facing grave crisis next
year, If not sooner, said Mr.. Lloyd
George. and no one knew how it was
to be met. The enemy might attack
each one separately. with the same re-
suits as in the case of Italy. He then
aeAed what l thought OF creating a SUI
preme war council.
Supreme Commander.
Having in mind councils called to de-
cIoe upon military operations in the
field, told him that the advice OF war
councils was not usually of any great
value AMI that the proposition did not
appeal to me. l said that authority
should be vested somewhere to co-ordi-
nate the operation on the western
front, and suggested the possibility of
having a supreme commander
Mr. Lloyd George replied, in effect,
that 1t was UNLIKELY Lhau the allies
could agree upon any one, as the
French would object to any but a
Frenchman and the British might not
like that. He thought the council would
be useful for the purpose primarily Of
bringing the heads of the allied govern
mentS together at intervals to deter
mine general policies.
I admitted that such an organization
might serve to unite the allies IN COM
mon purpose, but that the conduct of
operations by the combined armies
should be under military direction. 1
got the distinct impression that while
he was seeking to secure greater unity
OF action, he also sought some means
OF controlling the activities of the
British army. During previous months
that army had been engaged in almost
continuous offensive operations, prac-
tically Single-handed, with very heavy
losses and few compromising adVan-
tages.
Mr.. Lloyd George went on to say that
there was to be meeting of the prime
ministers at Rapallo, Italy, and that he
hoped they might reach some agree
ment that would result in a Cua44-!I
such as he had in mind. He thought
that the United States ought to be rep
resented at this meeting and suggested
