agement of things, in order to pave the
way for insisting that we were entirely
wrong In not conSenting to ar1algar1a-
ton.
Settled AmlcabIy.
However. at later meetings with
Clemenceau and Petain the alleged diff
ferences we're seemingly settled ami
cably, as indicated in my cable of jan
uary IA, which follows:
For Chief Of Staff:
Have now definite understanding with
French satisfactory to them and to me
that our divisions now In France shall
complete their training as already be-
gun. In the future, divisions arriving in
zone Of French armies are to have pc
Rod Of training with French, each reg
ficiently experienced by training in a
quiet sector with French, our divisions
are to be united under their own COM
mander and will be placed in the line
in our own sector"
My meeting with Petain January IL
had been gratifying in its results. The
details Of the assignment of our d.
visions for training with the French
were entirely settled as to time and
place, and 1t was agreed that our gen.
eral officers and their stats shoNld have
every opportunity to learn their duties.
It was also understood that toward
April or May a place on the front
should be taken over as the American
sector. With reference to the amalga-
nation Of American troops with the
British, which had been proposed, Gen.
Petair saw no objections, but regretted
that it could not be done with the
French also.
To meet the needed requirements IN
their units, had consented to send
temporarily to the French four colored
Infantry Regiments pertaining to the
cad Division which had arrived or
were en- route without the brigade or
divisional organization. One regiment
was to 90 to each of four divisions. with
the understanding that they were to
be returned for the formation of an
American division when called for. Un-
fortunately this did not turn out as we
expected, for there was no opportunity
to assemble them as q division, and
very much to my regret these regi-
ments never served with us, although
their services as soldiers while with
the French were highly commended.
Our first seven months in France
had been actively employed IN working
out basic plans and in completing our
organization so that we should be ready
to assign units to their areas and
duties as fast as they arrived and begin
or continue their training as might be
required. Each of the supply and staff
departments had been broadened IN
scope and new services created and
their relation to each other under the
new conditions definitely fixed.
Supply Departments Failed.
Our situation as to numbers of troops
supplies and construction at the close
Of the year was not what we had every
reason 10 expect after having been at
war since the previous April. We had
not yet been able to get full service
from the limited amount of tonnage
thus far made available for military
use The supply departments in Wash
ingtori had failed to provide sufficient
material for the construction ct ports.

PEARL BUSINESS
ENTERED BY u. S.
Farm Set Up in Hawaii After
Beds Yield Great Riches
to Traders.

Thousands of oysters have been put
to work making pearls for Uncle Sam
in the flrst pearl farm established in
United States waters, the Bureau Of
Fisheries has announced.
The farm, which had been estab-
1ished experimentallv at Pearl and
HerInes Reefs, has been transplanted
200 miles away in Kaneohe Bay.
Island Of Oahu, Hawaiian group, 1t
was announced.
Ten years will pass, experts say. be-
fore there again can be commercial
gar1ering from these pearl beds, which
already are believed to have brought
great riches to traders who discovered
and exploited them in secret.
But the Hawaiian beds we're pro-
nounced potentially rich by DR.. Paul
s. Galtsoff, head Of the shell fish d.
vision Of the Fisheries Bureau. who
spent six weeks at Pearl and Hermes
Reefs, supervising the transplanting
process
DR.. oaltsoff reported opening $50
oysters in his investigation to ascer-
tain their worth and of extracting from
them so pearls of varying grades and
weight. This, he said was very high
percentage of yield, much higher than
in any other pearl fishery.
First intimation of the discovery in
1927 of the pearls came through their
appearance on the New York ard
Paris markets, where some brought very
high prices because of their unusual
luster Investigations by the territorial
government of the Islands disclosed the
existence Of the beds and the Bureau
Of Fisheries was called In consultation
Lack Of .harbor anchorage and re-
moteneSs Of the beds made them difl-
cult Of protection and Of harvesting
DR.. Galtsof undertook to transplant
them to the more convenient location
Of KAneohe Bay, where he had found
II specimens Of pearl oysters, indicating
1t was a favorable habitat for them.
