JOE LAUDS VALLE OF PERSHIG STORY .Army Officer Declares Few| Realize Greatness of Gen- eral’s Achievement. Tan » colonel's best man BY COL. GEORGE C. MARSHALL, Assistant Commandant, Fort Benning, Ga JUMBUS, Ga., January 17 (N. A. NACOR.\,—Gen. Pershing’s _memoirs, should not only provide vividly inter- esting reading for America, but should ve an invaluable document for fu- reference in the development of al defense. O emtably there will be comparisons | with the memoirs of Gen. Grant and | the recent biographies of conspicuous World War figures. In several re- spects the basis for Gen. Pershing's story differs from all others. He was at the tim: of his service $,000 miles from home, the ‘commander in chief of our fieid armies for the entire period of their participation in the war. He no. only fought his armies, he had fiist to organize and train them, and he had to create at the ports and wcross Central France & complete supply—transportation and hospital servic,, as well as an overseas War Department. He was at one and the same tivie » diplomat, a statesman eand a mililary commander. The war ended sc abruptly that few had oppor- tunity ¢ realize the wonder of hx.‘)l sachievement. Force of Two Millions. In March, 1918, there was one Amer- n division of 27,000 men, ready for ittle. Four months later 300,000 of our soldiers were fighting in the Marne | Salient, and within seven months, 29 eambat_ divisions, six Army Corps and approximately a mil- dvancing against.the In the rear of this vast force another million men were training, or operat- ing & colossal supply service and pre- to serve three million in the and four million by the Sum- mer 19.

The great German offensive of March, 1918, came in time to prove him right as it proved the others to be wrong. Program Sacrificed. Gen. Pershing was engaged in a con- tinuous struggle with our allies over the disposition of the American troops. & wanted our fresh, vigorous men to; up and war-worn ranks. None feit that we could create the vast and complicated mechanism of a great field Army in time to save the situation. ‘With tact and tolerance and with oc- casional compromises, he met the pro- efforts of war councils, the lead- ing statesmen of Europe and the allied commanders to bend him from his pur- pose. And this despite his embarrass- ment in having to depend on cannon, airplanes, artillery, tanks al hl;n quantities of supplies. ‘et when the shock of the German | assault pretipitated the crisis in| March of 1918, Gen. Pershing rose to| the occasion and voluntarilly, in a few | sentences, renounced all his slowly won | concessions towards the formation Ofi an American Army, offering his troops to_be scattered along the front from Belgium to Switzerland. Months elapsed before he was able to reconstruct the shattered program for the development of our Army. The preceding incidents "concern matters not directly involving general Pershing’s leadership in battle. But in Ocetober, 1918, came the critical moment for the American Expeditionary Forces ‘The battle of the Meuse-Argonne had raged for two weeks. Necessity had eompelled the employment of partially trained divisions _previously _inexperi- | enced in battle. Casualties were heavy, daily advances negligible, roads all buf | fmpassable, troops exhausted and the weather cold, wet arnd gloomy. Pessim- dsm was widespread and few officers could see any light in the sky. Gratui- tous criticisms from our allies, desirous of obtaining American troops, poured in. American officers of high rank im- piored their chief to break off the battle Few Realized Greatness. Out of this forest of gloom and obstacles Gen. Pershing sirode, the great leader. Determination written clear in his face, in the very tones of his voice and in his confident bearing, nothing daunting him, fe drove, led and cheered the Army on t- attack after attack. America’s solo-rs re- nded and finally, on November 1, Army lunged forward in a generai sasault which broke through the hos- tile positions, and, with increasing mo- mentum, plunged ahead until the | heights overlooking Sedan were reached on the morning of November 7. Few are familiar with this phase of the Meuse-Argonne operation. Public | interest was centered on_the final ex- of notes between President Wil- son and the crumbling German gov- ernment. Every one promptly forgot the m, the fears and the weak gs of those October days. All were jubilant over the battle won, but Sew realized when and how it was won. 8o far as an individual can be said #6 have decisively influenced the course of such a great operation, Gen. Per- \hlnf won the Meuse-Argonne battle ‘on its blackest day at its gloomiest moment. Washington at Trenton and Valley Forge, Grant and his great ad- wersary, Lee, in the wilderness dis- yed this rare quality of leadership ch triumphs over adversity and ties in war. @opyright, 1931, by North American News- Paper Alliance.)

It was tentatively under- stood between Gen. Petain and myself that the American sector should in- clude the St. Mihiel salient. gested that the first American offen- sive would naturally be its reduction. He fully agreed. The strategical advantages and the moral effect of an initial American success there were so evident that even then we entered into more or less de- tailed discussion of the proposal. A few weeks later I formally approved a draft of the plan for this first opera- tion, which, at that time, we calculated could be carried out in the follow.ng Spring or Summer. ‘A suggestion was made by the Joffre mission in America that we should operate on the Vosges front, but suc- cess there could have had no decisive effect .since no vital arteries of com- munication nor important enemy ter- ritory lay beyond the Vosges, and the idea was not seriously considered. It was not evident why this proposal should have been made except, perhlrs, to set us thinking of a front as far from the Britsh as possible at a time when the latter were presenting ar- guments in favor of our serving farther to the West. Red Cross Leader Calls. Maj. Grayson M. P. Murphy, head of the Red Cross in France, and his assist- ant, Mr. James H. Perkins, called at my headquarters June 17, to discuss ration with the army. It was decided the Red Cross could best handle its work if given a semi-official status, 50 Maj. Murphy was attached to my headquarters. It was the Ftench situation that gave me the gravest concern. Pacifist genti- ment was prevalent in France and in many quarters there was talk of a peace parley. This pe: tic and despondent mood of the people further depressed the morale of their armies as men at the front contemplated another Win- ter of suffering and distress for their ‘To help. meet these conditions, I sug- gested to Maj. Murphy that the first task of the Red Cross should be to aid needy French people. As a result, he and Perkins proposed that funds be distributed to soldiers’ families wherexer necessary. When the idea was presented to Gen. Petain he erpressed the keenest ap- preciation and at once undertook through his military organization to obtain the necessary data. The Red Cross arranged to make 5,000,000 francs (nearly $1,000,000) available to be dis- tributed by local charitable agencies as rapidly as the information could be furnished. as to where funds should be sent.

Today the War Department has a staff organization that has been referred to by of s as “a model of éfficiency, alert to its grave responsibilities and prepared to cope with any emergency.” | Plans Already Made. The national defense act imposes the general staff the important duty preparing plans for the mobilization of men and material in time of war or other national emergency. If there should be another war, the general staff will not have to awN\t the formulation of definite plans for raising a com- batant force and for equipping it. Those plans already are in existence. They have been made 50 elastic that they can meet y exigency. The| on of regulars, National Guardsmen and re- | serves already Is established. It would be possible to send into the feld almost overnight a force of nearly half a million men, fairly well trained and equipped, officials d°clare. Plans for the organization of additional forces are comprehensive. The corps area system, established since the World War, creates a mech: nism for prompt mobilization of forces. Gen. Summerall, in his final report to the War Department, pointed out that “lack of territorial organization was one of the most serious deficiencies in our military administration during the | ‘World War.” | Separate Agencies Clumsy. “The then existing territorial en organized with a view to serv- ing as the operating agencies for carry- ing out a general mobilization. Time was not available for creating an ef- fective territorial otganization, and the urgency of the situation made it neces- sary to centralize the administration of mobilization, training and supply in the War Department. “The vast number of separate agen- clies depending directly on the War De. partment produced' an extremely coi plicated and clumsy system of admi: istration. The resulting complex struc- ture of the War Department, with its many different agencies charged with various aspects of the military prob- lem, was difficult to co-ordinate, and conflicting instructions were frequently issued to subordinate authorities. Far removed from contact with the local situation, the War it lacked an intimate knowledge of local condi- tions which is required for proper ac- tion on matters of detail. “The corps areas constitute the great agencies for the mobilization of the United States, and the peace-time administration and training of all components, and their equipment and supply.” Equipment In Reserve. If necessity should demand a sud- den mobilizatiod of men, the forces would not’lack an fmmediate supply of munitions and other equipment. The War Department maintains a special war reserve of certain essential supplies peculiar to war needs, suffi- | cient to equip troops until the manu- | facture of such materials can g=t under way. The plans of the general staff in- clude *not _only means for mobilizing and supplying the Nation's armed forces. but detailed information as to possible facilities for transporting them to the scene of combat and for main- taining them in any given locality. In short, our Government has laid careful plans for a war—any war—that does not exist and that docs not even appear in prospect. This does not mean that America has planned a militaristic flo}lcy of aggression, but it does mean that thor- ough-going steps have been taken to insure the defense of the Nation from any possible invasion by others.
