CHICAGO, January 28 (N.AN.A). Gen. John J. Pershing was justified in his criticism of the lethargy and in- efficiency of the military establishment six months after this country declared day by Gen. Robert E. Wood, president of Sears-Roebuck & Co. and Acting Quartermaster General of the Army from the Spring of 1918 to the Spring of 1919, when he resigned to enter busi- ness in Chicago. The American commander-in-chief tells in “My Experienccs in the World War” of the difficulties he met in out- fitting and equipping with supplies and ordnance materials the first troops sent oversens. Received Lawnmowers. “I have often wonderéd what manner of man was responsible for shipping such things, whether on supply tables or not, ihereby wasting tonnage, when Winter clothing, building material, steel and a lot of real necessities were bcing delayei,” wrote Gen. Pershing after telling of the shipment to France of bathbricks, bookcases, bathtubs, floor wax, lawnmowers, window shades and stepladders. “This refers to what happened in the early part of the war, when Gen. Persh- ing ‘did have this trouble.” said Gen. Wood. “I was in France then myself. It was these criticisms of the com- mander 1n chief that caused the shake- up, with'the result that the organiza- tion and the equipment of the Army for victory went forward more and more along the lines of moiern war- fare.” The observations of Gen. Pershing covered the period from May to Novem- ber, 1917. Gen. George W. Goethals, the builder of the Panama Canal, was made Acting Quariermaster General in December, 1017, in which capacity he served until February, 1918, when he became chief of the Division of Pur- chases, Storage and Traffic. Succeeded Goethals. ‘The commander in chief’s criticisms and vigorous representations brought about the introduction of new m:thods in creating a fighting Army, according to Gen. Wood. “New men took hold of the military machine with desired re sults” he said. “The deiays and con- fusion of the early part of America's g:rucipmon were overcome. Gen. Tshing's criticism of these delays, the confusion and inactivity is certainly Justified. “However, I have no personal knowl- edge of the extent of the difficulties at the beginning, as I was at that time in Prance as a colonel of the Infantry in the 42d Division. I was sent back to the United States to become Acting Quartermaster General after Goethals took over the work in the Dlvlslgg of Purchases, Storage and The former Quartermaster General is a West Pointer of the class of 1900, who saw sgervice in Panama and -the Phi)- ippines, and was assistant to-Geén.

M The French military officials | were anxious to show their respect, and |it was arranged to have both an Ameri- \cen and French guard of honor drawn |up to salute him upon his arrival at | my residence. These two small guards | vied with each, other and both seemed to get a great thrill out of the cere- mony. After en interesting evening with the marshal and his staff as our guests we | left the next morning by motor car for Treveray, accompanied by Gens. Rague- neau and Alvord, Cols. de Chambrun and McCoy and Capt. Boyd. The troops of the division were drawn up in line ready to receive us and presented a much better appear- ance than at the review by President Poincare. The men were especially keen to be inspected by a marshal of France, and their pride was clearly evi- dent by their perfect lines as they swung by in the march past. The mar- thal in turn was enthusiastic over their vigorous appearance and military bear- irg. CHAPTER XVIL ARSHAL JOSEPH JOFFRE, upon my invitation, arrived at Chaumont "‘October 15, 1917, to Mule Inspects Marshal. One incident occurred that was not on the program. On the way to the fleld for the ceremony a well groomed mule that happened to be running loose pricked up his ears, looked us over and decided to trot along with us. One of my staff wagered that this wise !animal knew what was going on and would be present to see the march past. | Sure enough, when we reached our po- sition this Missouri product had pre- ceded us. Cautlously approaching, he displayed the greatest curiosity in the est of honor. As all efforts to drive im away seemed futile, he hovered near as an interested spectator to the proceedings, much to the amusement of the marshal. I gave a luncheon at Neufchateau for the marshal’s party and my own and the senior officers of the 1st Divi- sion. After that we saw the training conducted by the 1st Corps Schcol and lets at the village of St. Blin, where the 101st Regiment, 26th Division, and the French 69th passed in review in excellent form. As we returned to- ward Chaumont, other American and French units were drawn up by the roadside in honor of the m: . It was rather late when we started and carkness overtook us while passing on foot through the lines. The trum- pets of each regiment sounded as we approached, and with the lights from our automobiles close behind illuminat- ing the trees that borde: the highway, and the faces that through the shadows ta catch a gl of the mar- shal the scene sugges some legend- ary painting. Finally we halted and the '.roor, in- |cluding the French 151st Infantry, which had made a remarkable record at Verdun, marched past us. As the n'g~ ment came ou’ of the darkness into the spotlight of vur autos they made a pic- ture never % be forgotten. French Coup Rumored. The political unrest in France at that time found expression in frequent criti- It was whis- pered in some circles that there might be a coup d'etat led by an outstanding military figure. The removal of the marshal as commander in chief of the French armies (in December, 1916), had not dimmed his ularity as the idol of the people, and he might easily have been selected as the leader of such a ;no:e;nem. had it been seriously pro- jected. Speaking of its possibility as we drove back, he said, confidentially, that it had been discussed and that it might occur. under certain circumstances. But, much to his credit, he hastened emphatically, and I think very sin- cerely, to disclaim any ambition in that direction. If the idea ever found lodgment among the opposition to the government, it never got beyond a very small coterie. In fact, there ex- isted no actuai crisis that was likely to precipitate a change in the form of government. October 17, 1917, the following sum- mary was sent to Washington showing the estimate of the situation in Europe: “¢ * * The Germans on Western front have been reinforced by four divi- sions from the Russian front, giving & present total of 150 divisions. “Persistent rej from widely sepa- rated sources of an (early) offensive by ger.ml:my and Austria against Italy. ‘Manifest that Germany is making determined effort to use present eco- nomic difficulties of Switzerland to ex- cite Swiss people against allies, * * * French report activity on part of Swiss in construction of fortifications on French border. “ rts indicate that after the fail- ure of the peace conference asked for in Pope's peace proposal the German government Legan active efforts to stiffen the spirit of the country.” Denies German Report. Returning to Paris October 19, I learned that a dispatch from Berlin to the New York Pimes represented me as having said that the German lines were impregnable. The report might have been idle gossip, but it was more prob- ably circulated to create the imj that our armies were starting on & for- lorn hope. This report was so tar from the truth that I cabled the Secretary of War that it was absolutely false and without any toundation whatever. In every reference to our future op- erations I had strongly maintained that it was not only possible to break the German lines, but that it would be done. The very system of training that we ‘were persistently following was based on the determination to force the Ger- to|mans out of their trenches and beat " fOR SKIN IRRITATIONS visited the American and French bil- | ted My Experiences in. the World War —By— Gen.

The following letter was sent to the several divisions and to other com- manders: Letter to Commanders. Amerioans recently visiting our training areas and coming in contact with officers in high command have re- ceived a note of deep pessimism, in- cluding apprehension of undue hard- ships to be undergone, of the disad- vantages of billeting as compared w© field conditions that have prevailed in our own country, of the great numbers of the enemy, and a belief in the im- pregnability of his lines, mingled with some comment on the peculiarities of our allies, and generally have come away with an impression that the war is already well along toward defeat for our arms. It is especially to be regret- that such an impression has been i derived mainly from general officers, who, if prompted by considerations ol soldierly duty, of leadership, of patriot- ism, for.itude and ambition, should maintain quite an opposite attitude. “2. While realizing that optimism cannot be created by order, it should be unnecessary to point out that such a state of mind on the part of officers in responsible positions is at once re- flected among their troops, and it is not an over statement to say no officer worthy of command would give expres- sion to thoughts of depression, much less communicate to untutored civilians false ideas of the morale of our troops. A conservative firmness and faith in our cause is not inconsistent with a serious estimate of an enemy's forces or even of & grave strategic or tactical sifua- tion, but I hardly nesd add that a tem- perament which gives way to weak com- plainings: which views with apprehen- sfon the contact with the enemy; which carps at the individuality of our allies, and querulously protests at hardships such as all soldiers must expect to en- dure, marks an unfl s for command of such an officer, and indicates his practical defeat before he goes to battle “3.

The consciousness of such an attitude should in honor dic- tate an application for relief. When- ever the visible effects of it on the com- mand of such an officer reach me in future, it will constitute grounds for his removal without application. “JO! J. PERSHING.” Nothing more was heard of the exist- ence of such sentiments within our Army, if, indeed, they had ever found more than a temporary lodgment in the minds of a few naturally timid or critically inclined souls. The mere sug- gestion that such views might be held only made it all the more imperative to emphasize and develop an aggressive spirit among our troops. 1st Division Moves In. My general impression of the situa- tion at this time was set forth in a cable to Washington October 21: “During the past week the water- soaked ground in Flanders and on the Western front generally has prevented further development of offensive move- ments. Summing up wastage of Ger- man Army in this year's campaign, a single offensive, such as the Anglo- French in Flanders, in progress since July 31, is insufficient materially to weaken Germany's manpower. Next, year must see two offensives, continu- ously maintained throughout the Sum- mer, if decisive result is to be obtained. This can only be secured through aid of effective United States Army on this | side. * ¢ ¢ The troops on the West- ern front have been re-enforced by one German division from the Russian! RRIE: & &l i As the training of the 1st Division had now progressed sufficiently, it was put into line in the quiet sector north- east of Luneville, under the supervision of the French, for actual trench experi- | ence. The division was underofficered and short of horses, clothing and many other things, especiaily rolling kitchens, | of which a few had only recently been recelved, and trucks, which were bor- rowed from the French. My repeated cables, beginning in Jul§. for Winter clothing. had received scant attention, and with the coming of colder weather the shortage became | critical. The initial stock requested was ' disallowed, the monthly allotments were totally inadequate and the depots were practically empty. The explanation that came from the artermaster General's Office, that our requests could not be granted on account of the needs at home, showed a total lack of appreciation of the ne- cessity of properly clothing the fighting man actually at the front above all others. After another urgent appeal, & partial supply was sent, but we had succeeded in obtaining a quantity of clothing, from the British to tide us over. Notwithstanding all these handicaps, the men were highly enthusiastic over the prospects of this new experience, and the rest of us were gratified that at last we were to be represented on the front. Thirty days were allotted for this preliminary training, one bat- talion at a time of each regiment oc: cupying the line for a period of 10 days. The sector had been inactive and un- eventful since the stormy days of 1914, | when Gen. de Oasieinau halted the German advance on the Grande Cou- ronne de Nancy. A few of the French remained in their homes in advance of sur support positions, while on the Ger- man side %ople continued to live near enough to the front lines to be seen go- ing to chéirch on Sundays. This pre- sented to the men an odd contrast to the pictures of war which they had built up in their imaginations. * ok % % ‘Tomorrow: Pershing visits French front and tells how Germans defeated Italians so decisively at Caporetto.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, January 28 (N.ANA.).— | No criticism, direct or implied, is made of the 26th Division by Gen. Pershing in the installment of his memoirs print- ed Monday. This is the opinion expressed by of- }ncen of the 26th Division, who were asked to explaln the significance of Gen. Pershing’s cable to the War De- partment in October, 1917, wherein he | tp complained: “Manner in which these regiments came to France does not indicate much improvement over conditions Spanish- — | American War.” Carried Full Equipment. Dr. Frederick E. Jons, Quincy, Mass., who, as colonel, commanded the 101s Sanitary Train, comprising all the med ical units of the Yankee Division, said “The medical units of the 26th rived in France with all the equipment War Department organization orders permitted. For instance, I sailed from Hoboken on a troop ship and miy horse was transported to Newport Lews, Va., and went to France on a cattle boat with other horses. “Obviously Gen. Pershing’s criticism of ‘the manner in which th-se regi- ments came to France’ is directed at the War Department’s method of trans- portation, with which the division had —and could have—nothing to do. “Still, I do think that his criticlsm seems somewhat far-fetched, for it ap- pears to me that men and their person- al equipment should go on troop ships, and animals d other transport be sent on freighters, as was done.” Says Pershing Was Right. “Pershing is right,” says Lieut. Gen. Edward L. Logan, Massachusetts Na- tional Guard, retired. “The method of transportation when the Yankee Divi- sion went to Prance was hardly better than in the days of the Spanish-Ameri- can War. Certainly the commander in chief has not eriticized the Yankee Di- vision. His whole complaint is that the War Department method of arranging transporiation of th: American Expedi- tionary Forces had not reached any greater efficiency than in Gen. Logan commanded 101st In- fantry Regiment of the Yank:e Division in the war. Of the medical units as- signed to his regiment, Gen. Logan says: “These units had all tne equipment allowed them by War_Department orders, and they arrived in France with all that they were permitted, under tiose orders, to take with them.” Dr. Fred Bogan, Boston, who as major during tae war in service witn the 26th commanded a medical unit, says: “When we 1:ft Framingham, Mass,, to entrain to the point of embarkation, | the medical outfits were equipped to full war strength in men and me:aical sup- plies. The supplies went with us to Prance. The table of organization of the old 9th Massachusetts, which be- came the 10ist Infantry of the 26th, was increased in personnel from 900 to a roster of 3,600 men. And supplies and equipment were increas:d propor- tionately. Not Fault of Division. “While we were at Framingham two ambulances were presented (O uS, One by the women of Framingham and the ouher by another group. These we did not take to France with us because they were not ‘issued’ These were left be- hind and become the property of the Northeastern Department of which we were then a part. “Of course, Gen. Pershing is not criti- cizing the division, because it obviously is not within the province of the divi- sion to decide the method of transpor- tation. That was up to the War De- partment, to which Gen. Pershing ad- '2ssed his cable of complaint.” None of these officers had any knowl- edge of any equipment having been loaded on to transports at Hoboken. and then takin off before sailing time, as Gen. Pefshing observed had been reported by some medical officer.

The meeting was held in the Northminster Presbyterian Church. The action changing the name was taken in view of the name of Iowa Circle, in the vicinity, having been changed to Logan Circle, after citizens had urged such a change due to the statue of Gen.
