Italo Balbo, returning in triumph from his Tecent flight to Brazil, hinted Thursday that he plans to lead a formation flight to New York. Genoa was & riot of bunting and cheering crowds when the _steamer Conte Rosso docked and Balbo, fol- lowed by his 43 companions on the Brazil flight, marched through lanes cf the black shirt militia to the city hall, where Mayor Broccardi gave him the key to the city. Last night there was a reception and Balbo, briefly rehearsing his great ad- venture, said he and his crew were preparing for an even more difficult feat. This was generally interpreted as an indication of a forthcoming for- mation flight to the United States. The flyers are to be welcomed hy Premier Mussolini at Rome tomorrow.

Three of the men are said to have admitted kidnaping a colored chauf- feur yesterday and using his machine for robberies in Ann Arbor.

We all want the | same thing, but our means of attaining | it is different from yours. | “America declared war independently | of the allies and she must face it as| soon as possible with a powerful Army. | There is one capital point to which I | wish to call your attention: That is| the importance to the morale of our | soldiers of fighting under our own flag. | “America is already anxious to know | where her Army is. The Germans have | once more started a strong campaign | of propaganda in the United States, the | purpose of which is to insinuate that | the allies have so little confidenc: in | the American troops that they are obliged to distribute them among their | own divisions. “The American soldier is as proud as any other, and the time will soon come when our troops, as well as our Govern- ment, will ask to fight as an autono- mous Army under the American high command. Lloyd George's Program. “I understand that in Prime Minis- ter Lloyd George's proposal we shall have to examine the situation again in June before deciding for July. “That is all that I can agree to at present to show my desire for solidarity with the cause of the allie: Lloyd George had previously taken up a revised program submitted by my- self, and after some discussion he pro- posed that: “America give us 120,000 infantrymen and machine gunners in May—the same number in June, with a supplement of 50,000 infantrymen and machine gun- ners if we ‘scrape together’ the tonnage to transport them.” He further proposed that the situa- tion be examined again in June b-fore deciding whether there was reason to extend to July the program decided | upon for May and June. He then called on the council to accept this plan. | Inasmuch as the proposal submitted by Lloyd George contemplated the shipment of the numbers mentioned in British tonnage, leaving American shipping entirely free for us to use as we should decide, an agreement was | soon reached, substantially as set forth in the following cablegram to the Secre- tary of War: rollowing agreement adopted by Su- | preme War Council May 2 at Abbeville. Will cable mcre in detail later. It is the opinion of the Supreme War Coun- cil that, to carry the war to & success- ful conclusion, an American Army should be formed as early as possible under its own commander and under its own flag. (Then it was thought the war would run to 1919.) Preference Given Infantry. “In drder to meet the presert emer- gency it is agreed that American troops should be brought to Prance as rapidly as allied transportation facilities will permit. and that as far as consistent with the necessity of building up an American Army preference be given to infantry and machine gun units for training and vice with French and British armies; with the understanding that such infantry and machine gun units are to be withdrawn and united with their own artillery and suxiliary troops into divisions and corps at the discretion of the American commander in chief after consultation with the commander in chief of the allied armies in France. stone work.

It was certainly much more favorable to the ultimate formation of an American Army than we had reason to expect in view of the recommenda- tions contained in note 18 of the mili- tary representatives, which, as we have seen. had been practically approved by the President. In the excitement over our agreement with the British the full | purport of this commitment was not | emphasized by the allies during the dis- cussion Nobody more than T realized that the | military situation was most threaten- ing. Following the powerful enemy offensive of March 21. had come that of April 9. and another attack had been made by the enemy toward { Amiens. while in the fighting farther east Villers-Bretonneux had been taken and retaken several times. As the British casualties since March 21 had been some 280,000, and those of the French 60,000 to 70,000, both allies were prompted to make this strong appeal for Americans to reconstitute their units not only physically but morally. From the practical standpoint of in- creasing the efficiency of the allied armies are argument was against the ungualified acceptance of allied proposals. The nationals of no country would willingly serve under a foreign flag in preference to their own. The national sentiment involved was such that we could not possibly afford to enter into such an agreement, except in_an extreme crisis. Moreover, the added strength of a distinct army would be much greater than to have its personnel parceled out here and there. Another serious objection to our men serving in the allied armies was the danger that the low merale and pessimism ranks would react adversely on our officers and men: in fact. this had already been the case to some extent especially among our with the | | | | while greatly | tude. | Congress, in their | A bright spot in war days. and Catharine Louise Wright. My Experiences in the World War BY GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING, Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces. Two of the valiant American Red Cross workers, the Misses Mary Shannon Webster British, where the contacts had been close. As to personal relations, it was grati- | fying always to find an attitude which | apparently regarded these discussions, though often heated, as simply official difference of opinion. There was at the same time a very distinct impression in my mind, and in the minds of many | of our officers familar with the argu- | ments on both sides, that the allies, | in need of assistance, | were inclined to advance the plea for | | amalgamation as a means of keeping | us in a subordinate role. Still, after these questions were settled, even temporarily, there was no | personal rancor or ill-feeling in evi- | dence, although no doubt at times | each side thought the other difficult to deal with. | Other proposals regarding the employ- | ment of American troops under allied | command were made from time to time, | all of which I opposed vehemently. | An understanding of the allied at however, enabled me to main- tain the high regard in which I held my | associates in arms, especially when their many acts of kindness and friendship were_ considered. After the decision at Abbeville every- body seemed content, and Gen. Foch, parting with me, said: “Mon General, nous sommes toujours d'accord.” While this remark no dougbt expressed satis- faction that an agreement had been reached, it did not mean the allies had at all given up their views on how American troops should be trained or used. | As to training, the fact that neither the British nor French had trained | their armies for open warfare, either | offensive or defensive, was at least in part one cause of the tremendous suc- cess of the German drives with divisions trained expressly for that kind of war- | fare. Opinion of Americans. ‘That the Prench intended to impress their conception on us is indicated by a memorandum of instructions for the guidance of their officers on duty with us emanating from the French general headquarters May 1 that fell into our hands. It shows also that the French still regarded the possibil- ity of open warfare as more or less Visionary. Speaking of Americans, it said: “It should be borne in mind that they have an extremely highly developed sense of ‘Amour-propre’ based on their pride in belonging to one of the great- est nations of the world. Consequently an air of superiority over them should be assiduously avoided, a fact which in no way prevents the absolute sub- ordination required by the service for carrying out the rules of hierarchy. * * ¢ In case of necessity French officers should not hesitate to exercise their authority. * % * Americans dream of operating in open country after having broken through the front. This results in too much attention being devoted to this form of operations.” The attitude the French assumed toward us in the World War was in marked contrast with the views held them when their troops so gen- erously came to America to aid us in the Revolution. The French com- mander at that time received very explicit instructions from his govern- ment on_this subject, as the following sent to Rochambeau shortly before he sailed for America will show: “It is his majes desire and he hereby commands that, so far as circumstances will permit, the Count de Rochambeau shall maintain the inte- grality of the French troops which his majesty has placed under his command, and that at the proper time he shall express to Gen. Washington, com- mander in chief of the forces of the under whose orders the | French troops are to serve, that it is | the intention of the King that those | shali not be dispersed in any manner, | and that they shall serve at all times |8s a unit and under the French gen- erals, except in the case of a temporary detachment which shall rejoin the main body without delay.” A Regiment for Italy. After the sessions I suggested to M. Clemenceau and Mr. Lloyd George that sending a regiment might help to stim- ulate the Italian morale and asked their opinion. They both thought it would | be a wise thing to do just at this time. I had opposed scattering our forces in this way, but the appeal of Italian of- | ficlals ‘and the recommendations of | Americans who had visited Italy indi- cated that under the circumstances an exception could well be made for a | small force. When I told Premier Orlando that this might be done, with the possibility of increasing the number up to a di- | vision later on, he was much pleased | Meanwhile, the President had been | pressed by Italian representatives to send them troops, and word came by cable a few days later that he thought we might brigade some of our troops with the British and French divisions then in Italy. But to leave them independ- ent was far preferable, and the subjec | was not taken up with the allies, my icea being that if we should find it necessary to send more troops to Italy it would be best to build up a division | | of our own. Another matter taken up informally | with the prime ministers after the con- | ference was that of pooling allied sup- | plies. I explained its advantages and | emphasized the saving in tormage that would result. Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Orlando did not commit themselves entirely, but accepted it in principle, as M. Clemenceau had done, and each agreed to designate an officer with busi- | exaggerated, but Russian workers nev- | WATER RESOURCES " APPRAISAL SOUGHT BEVERLY HILLS, _Calif. — Well yesterday I had what I thought was a kinder funny “gag.” I said the people the Red Cross really should reach was the ones away back in the woods that no one ever heard of, the Senate and Congress of the United _States. Well, I pick up the paper this morning and I find their sense of humor didn't jibe with mine. They had added the word “not” to the Senate and Congress, and made it so it not only didn't have any humor, but no sense. What I am trying 'to get at (if I can get the papers to use it as I want it) is to have the Red Cross care for Con- gress and the Senate, instead of having it done as a dole from the taxpayers, as it is now.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 193l SEEDS ARE SHIPPED 10 DROUGHT AREAS Supplies From Red Cross Will Give Victims Opportu- ity to Help Feed Selves. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Enough seeds to provide provender sufficient to feed 200,000 families—200 carloads of embryonic foodstuffs—has been shipped into the drought-ridden States of the South and West by the American Red Cross, it was announced today. The shipments, which are “dead- headed” into the drought section by the railroads as their contribution to the work that the Red Cross is doing toward relief of suffering in the drought sec- tlons, are going forward steadily and are expected adequately to supply the entire drought section before they cease. Already the shipments have gone into 806 counties in the drought area. ‘This method of extending celf-help, by providing vegetable seeds, will sup- plement the feeding which the Red Cross has carried on since the drought relief program was started last Fall. With the rainfall, which has helped break the unprecedented drought, and the supply of seeds and implements to those in need, farmers are beginning to look forward to better things during the approaching Summer, particularly in the States in the far South. Mental Attitude Better. Having just returned from a two weeks' visit to drought areas in Mis- sissippi and Louisiana, Stuart Godwin of the publicity division of the Amer- | fcan Red Cross, reports that, despite the increase since the first of the year in families asking assistance from the Red Cross, there is a notable improve- ment in the mental attitude of farmers | throughout Louisiana and Mississippi “There was particularly a very defi- nite feeling of optimism in Mississip- pL” sald Mr. Godwin. “And as I passed through Tennessee and Kentucky a few nights ago, a heavy rain was fall- ing, and had been falling for a day.” The saying, “It is an ill wind that blows no good,” may with time be ap- plicable to the drought, as by means of the food orders supplied to sufferers hundreds of persons are learning the use of healthful foods hitherto un- known to them. Conservation and | “The Red Cross has been giving food orders to every family in drought areas | who are in need.” sald Mr. Godwin. | | “The order not oniy helps the sufferers, | but also the local merchants, as the | food order is used in stores of the com- munities. As the order is for foods which have been found to contain the best health-giving properties by author- | ities of the Department of Agriculture who have co-operated with the Red Cross, there is quite a variety of food- | stuffs contained in the order.” Given New Foods. Mr. Godwin declared that not only the food orders of the Red Cross, but the seed supply which has been sent for the past two weeks will give to hun- | dreds of people foods which they have | never before known. | _“Through certain sections where the ipeople have been living on the three | m's,” he said, “meat, meal and mo- lasses, they are now learning to eat tomatoes dnd other fresh vegetables, which are new to them.” It was pointed out that Spring gar- den packets contain beans, beets, cab- bage, carrots, corn, lettuce. kale, mus- tard, okra, onions, peas, spinach, toma- toes, turnips, collards and squash.” The Red Cross relief work has been of particular benefit to school children, it was sald. Mr. Goodwin reported that in some of the most deeply affected areas, children had been found carrying in their small lunch tins nothing but hard cakes of cornmeal, made by mixing | crude ‘meal and water. In some cases, the food was so inedible that the chil- dren had thrown it away. Five thousand pounds of sun-dried Corinthian currants were sent by chil- dren of the Greek Jurior Red Cross, to the American Junior Red Cross. The currants were turned over to domestic sclence classes in schools throughout the country and members of the classes used them for cookies to send to the lit- tle ones in the drought States. The cookies were sent in lots of from 50 to 300 dozen. | GEN. KREGER' WILL FACE ARMY RETIRING BOARD |Judge Advocate General Seeks to Quit Service Due to Physi- cal Disabilities. Maj. Gen.
