Eighteen years ago yesterday at
dawn the American 1st Army
launched its pivotal attack which
smashed the Hindenburg line on the
Western front and forced the imperial
German command to sue for armistice.
But the Al days of the Meuse Ar
gonne offensive, in the opinion Of
American military strategists. did
more than clinch victory for the
allied cause.
They contend that it served also to
justify Gen. John J. Pershings long
and sometimes acrimonious struggle
with British and French commands to
preserve the identity of the American
Army as an independent unit.
David Lloyd George. Great Britain's
wartime premier, recently published
in his memoirs a severe criticism OF
the American Expeditionary Forces
commander for his stubborn fight tc
keep his divisions intact instead OF
allowing them to be incorporated in
the allied armies.
Consisted of 20 Divisions.
As modified for the assault, the
American lst Army under the direct
command of Gen. Pershing consisted
of % divisions, the total strength OF
which rose as high as 10000 men at
times. It was assisted by six French
! divisions, numbering approximately
$4,000 troops.
This force flung IS German divi-
sions, numbering more than 100000
back to the Meuse River through
some 20 miles of strongly fortified ter
ritory along 25-mile front. The en-
gagement lasted from September Is Il
November IL. 1918, when hostilities
ended with the Germans retreating
in disorder.
American casualties for this battle
alone totaled 10000 killed and
wounded, contrasted with 100000 es-
timated German casualties and $4,000
German prisoners captured.
Had the allied generals used Amer
lean troops merely as repla cements ir
their decimated divisions, American
officers say the Meuse-Argonne re-
suit might have been different. Gen
Pershing, in persistently refusing theil
demands, had contended that such ar
ARRANGEMENT not only would offend
the American public. but that Amer.
ican soldiers could not be expected
to fight as efficiently under a foreign
flag and under foreign officers as
under their own.
Yet official reports relate that he
was harried on that subject by al
lied military leaders and statesmen
almost continuously from the time he
assumed command of the American
forces in France until a short time
before the Armistice.
Gen. James G. Harboard, Perish
ing's first chief of staff in France
and later chief of the Army's service
of supply, records that If given ir
terms of the demands 1t made or
the time of Gen. Pershing and the
number of various and devious angles
from which approach was made, q
reader so years hence might well con-
clude that this struggle between al
lies was more important than much
of the fighting that went on"
Even before Pershing sailed fol
France, British and French missions
then in the United States had beer
busy seeking to have the American
Army's man power used as replace
ments in allied units which had beer
battered by the German advance prioi
to Americas declaration of war.
Lack of Harmony Seen.
This caused Pershing to write ir
his diary that the evident rivalr,

Fifteen months imprisonment in
Nazi Germany will be climaxed to-
morrow for Lawrence B. Simpson, an
American seaman, when he Is brought
to trail before the Berlin Peoples
Court on charges of high treason and
espionage.
The maximum penalty for such Of
fenses Is death.
A reputed member of the American
Communist party. Simpson. whose
home is in Kirkland, Wash, Is ac-
cused Of being an agent who smug-
gled into Germany large quantities
OF Communist literature for q ring of
anti-Nazi conspirators against the
Hitler regime.
The German police have charged
that he was involved with 10 other
prisoners in "communistic work." and
that he engaged in the dissemination
of communist propaganda in Ger
many for six months prior to his ar
rest June 28. 1885.
When he was taken into custody at
Hamburg while serving as a member
of the crew of the United States liner
Manhattan, the police told the ships
captain and the American consul. who
were present. that they found large
quantities of communist propaganda
material in Simpsons quarters aboard
the vessel
With this. it was charged, were
discovered a number of balloons with
fuses attached, apparently intended
for use in broadcasting pamphlets.
The American consulate general in
Berlin expects to have a representa-
tive at the trial, at which an attorney
appointed by the court will conduct
Simpsons defense.

can to be tried by Nazi court, was
found guilty of charge OF espionage

portation from Germany.

for Donny came from the five

a squeak. A woolly lamb. A cellu

Donald sighed when he saw
them.
"Why, they're perfect. What

demanded practically. No neec

she'd spent looking at expensive

And Donny loved them. He
loved everything. He really seemed
to know it was Christmas. Even
Donald was happy playing with
him, showing him the wonders Of
the tree, and making the monkey
run up and down the string.
But his eyes filled when she
gave him her present, a sweater

that almost, but not quite, fitted
him.

Above all, to see the old house
again. Just to look at 1t from the
outside. Even that would be
heaven.
But she couldn't ask Janet Woods
to keep Donny for q whole day,
and she couldn't take him on such
a long drive.
"No-no-I don't believe do"
she told him.

MILLER BACKS
CURRAN PLAN

Justin Miller, special assistant
to the Attorney General, has
thrown his support behind the
proposals of Judge Edward M.
Curran for changes in the Police
Court procedure to improve
efficiency. He described the Cur
ran suggestions as conservative,
workable and commendable.'
Miller expressed hope that the
District Bar Association and Con-
gress will take favorable action
on the suggestions in the near
future. Among the recommends
tions made by Judge Curran is
one for establishment of a public
defender system at the court to
assure persons unable to retain
counsel of proper legal represen'
tationS, system Miller long has
advocated.
Other suggestions by the magis-
trate entail changing Of the name
of the court to the "City Court OF
the District of Columbia" estab'
lishment of behavior clinic, stag
gered hours for appearance of wit
nesses and defendants in the traf'
fic branch of the court, uniform
fines in traffic cases and a com
mittee of the Bar Association to
cooperate with the judges.
Miller declared that there is
nothing new about most of these
suggestions, as they have been
worked in other cities and found
satisfactory.

Twenty-six men-10 Of whom are
81 years of age or under-are fac
ing a dismal Christmas in Sing
Sing prison up the River" They
are in the death house awaiting
the electric chair.
Fifteen of them know when they
are going to walk "the last mile"
next month. Date of execution
Of the other IL has not been set.
, Six of them are doomed to die
zen masse" on the night Of Janu-
ary Z for the commission of one
crime-the "nickel-and-dime" mur-
der of a Brooklyn subway collector
whom they "stuck up and killed
for $245, or for "divvy" of only
about $40 apiece.
Four others die the night OF
January IA. Of this group three
were members of the same gang.
FiOrenZa To Go
Five others are scheduled to die
the night of January 81, including
John Fiorenza, 24-year-old, SalloW'
faced, blac k-h aire "bathtub
slayer" of Mrs. Nancy Evans Tit
terton, New York writer OF crime
fiction stories.
It's an amazing fact that 16 OF
the 26 in the death house are
from Kings County, in which
Brooklyn, the City of Churches
is located. And there are 81
counties in New York State.
The six members of the nickel
and-dime" gang who killed Edwin
Esposito, B. M. T. subway coin
collector, are pretty young. They
are Salvatore Duke" Scatta, 18;
Joseph Red" Bologna, 81; Theo-
dore De Donna, 81; Dominick
Zizzo, 26; Samuel j. Kimmel. 81,
and Eugene Bruno, %. Bologna
confessed he was the trigger
man"
Agitation is in progress to save
the six from the chair by hav-
ing their sentences commuted to
life imprisonment. Taking part
in this movement are said to be
two elements--Fascists and op-
ponents of mass executions" who
do not believe it is right that six
persons should die for one killing.
Up To Governor
The pleas for clemency for this
gang have been put before Gov
ernor Herbert H. Lehman at Al
bany this week.
# the governor does not act to
save those whose dates OF execu-
ton has already been set, Sing
Sing will execute fifteen within
fifteen days next month.
Next to the "six for one" exc
cution, the scheduled "last mile"
walk of John Fiorenza is attract
ing most public attention locally.
The strangling of Mrs. Titterton
by Fiorenza in. her home last
April was widely publicized and
attracted much attention.
Fiorenza was an eXconvict, out
on parole. According to his proba-
ton report made public by Irving
w. Halpern, chief probation Off
Ger of the Court of General Ses'
sions, Fiorenza was a weak, emo
tional young man with deep-seated
neurotic tendencies of a compll
