As we would be sending the transports
through rough weather when the waves
would sweep the decks clear, drew the
line at that point.
Shortened "Turn-around."
The next practical scheme was to
shorten the "turn-around." The turn
around is the time consumed by a vessel
in taking its lead across the sea, dis
charging 1t, returning and starting on
another trip. When we first went to
France the average turn-around for
troop ships was So days. During No
vember, 1917, this had 6 )wn to 81 days;
in December it was "a days-an almost
impossible situation. Intensive work
brought this down to an average turn
ing the Spring and Summer Of 1918
averaged less than 81 days and by pack
ing the men in we landed in France
each month in this great vessel 10000
men, the equivalent Of a German
division.
AS these orders became effective the
number of men sailing for France in
stantly increased. During March, 1918,
this number leaped to 84,889. In April
we shipped 1852, in May 245,945 and
in June 278,664. BY June 80 we had
actually landed in France $4,000 men
and had on the high seas, steaming
toward France, enough to bring the
figure to more than 100000 men.
No other troop movement had ever
been accomplished in the history of
the world, and no other movement of
any such number of persons by water
for such a distance and in such a time
had ever previously occurred-civilian
or military. 1t came as a complete
surprise to the German general staff.
Soon after our entry into the war they
had stated that the United States could
not equip and transport within year
an army exceeding 100000 men. July
/, 1918, the War Department answered
that statement by a formal letter to
the President and to the American
people, announcing that more than
100000 men had sailed for France.

Land Offered for Sale
First Time i'm 900 Years

Although a quarter of
Great Britain is estimated to have
changed hands in the great dispersal OF
land which has taken place here since
the war, there is one plot of glebe, or
church land, now scheduled for sale,
which has not been in the market for
900 years.
This land, which runs to Is acres.
forms part of the north end Of the
town Of Welwyn, Hertfordshire, and
was given by Edward the Confessor to
the rector of Welwyn along with the
Manor House. Successive clergymen
used the Manor House as rectory.
In 1760 the rector, who was then
Edward Young, author of Night
Thoughts" built a new rectory. From
that time on the old Manor House and
the surrounding glebe land was leased
privately. With the expiration Of the
last lease Of the church authorities have
decided that the cost of its upkeep Is
too great for the parish to bear.
Ample evidence has shown that We'll
wyn was Roman suburb during the
Roman occupation of st. Albans. The
glebe land in this neighborhood has
been known as Danesbury. According
to some historians it was here that the
massacre of the Danes began in 1912,
and it was here that they were buried
Hence the name of Danesbury.

that he was mistaken, giving him the
facts. Mr.. Hoover, who up to that time
knew nothing about me, said: Gen.
March, when you know me better, you
will find that when I say thing is

I replied: Mr. Hoover, when you
know me better, you will find am not
ashamed to say, I do not know But
when I tell you as a fact something
about the military progress of the war,
it is fact"
Hoover Admitted Error.
We had no further conversation at
that dinner. When it was over, rushed
to the War Department and worked
until l o'clock that night, making up
the time I had lost at the dinner, and
dismissing the little alteration with
Mr. Hoover from my mind. But next
morning I found on my desk note
from Mr.. Hoover. which I here para
phrase:
Dear Gen. March:
with reference to our discussion at
Mr.. Hurley's dinner, went to my Office
after I left his house and looked up the
matter which we were discussing and
found that you were right, but I was
wrong.
Sincerely,
HERBERT HOOVER"
This gave me an entirely different
opinion Of Mr.. Hoover. Any man worth
his salt will stick up for what he be-
lieves is right, but it takes a slightly
bigger man to acknowledge instantly
and without reservation that he IS in
error.
In sending the men to France, I at
once put into effect the ferry" idea.
The men we're packed in closer and
occupied hunks In reliefs. This was
wartime and any discomfort was
slight. This increased the carrying ca
pacity of the ships more than 40 per
cent. AS this move went into success

came to me for decision whether we
should also bunk men on the decks
