X4 HOOVER IS GUEST A7 PRESS BANOUET THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO. D. C, FEBRUARY 22, My Experiences in the World War BY GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING, Commander in Chtef of the American Expeditionary Forces. Dther Notables Attend Affalr,Bm,sh Ask Artillerymen + of White House Cor- respondents. ‘The White House Correspondents’ As- sociation gave its ninth armual banquet last night in the ball room of the Willard Hotel, having _among~ the many guests President Hoover, every member of his cabinet, the PFrench, German and British Ambassadors and the Minister from the Irish Free State. This array of notables included also Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of the House, & number of Senators and Representatives and high ranking offi- cers of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, as well as a number of editors, publishers and writers from all parts of the country. There were nearly 500 persons seated st the banquet, and the scene was a most_colorful one. The Marine Band, which furnished the incidental music was attired in the scarlet jackets of that famous organization. Behind the President, the forelgn representatives, the members of the cabinet and Maj. Gen. Benjamin Fuller, commandan of Marines, were hung the official flags of their office or country. President Speaks Briefly. Following an established custom of the White House correspondents, there was an absence of oratory. In response to a toast drunk standing in his honor, President Hoover spoke briefly. The features of the dinn°r were arranged and carried out under the direction of George E. Durno of the International News Service. Contributors to this interesting program were George H. O'Connor and Matt Horne, and a num- ber of radio stars of the Columbia Broadcasting System. The banquet struck a note of mirth calculated to center around the Presi- dent and his “newspaper family” with the view to making him forget the troubles of state. As President Hoover entered the banquet hall the Marine Band played “Hail to the Chief.” When he was seated and the cheering had .quieted the hall was darkened, a spot light played upon a replica of the White House in the middle of the stage, when suddenly there was an explosion, blow- ing off the roof, which was explained 88 being caused by the first plece of news coming out of the White House since Secretary Akerson departed. This unusual news was the announcement by President Hoover that the next day ‘would be the anniversary of the birth of George Washington One of the outstanding features of the entertainment was the throwing on the screen of a sound film, entitled “The Strange Inauguration of President Mallon, or Our Error,” in swift moving farce taken by the Fox Movietone and directed by Arthur De Titta. €. B. 5.

This fully bore out & pre- diction I had cabled Washington that the allies would be asking artillerymen | before long. It will be readily understood, how- | ever, that once the allies had made a | demand for infantry and machine gun- ners, they all joined in concerted effort | to bring it about, regardless of what | their real needs might be. In reply I reminded Marshal Haig that the abbeville agreement giving pri- ority to infantry and machine gun ship- ments would prevent the arrival of our artjllerymen for some time. m fulfilling our part in military co- operation we had already gone far be- yond the mere recognition of the prin- ciple of unity of command and had be- gun to bring over hundreds of thou- sands of men, almost regardless of the organizations to which they belonged, that -they might be available in the event of extreme necessity. In selecting units available for tem- porary service and training with the | British the Secretary of War desired | to include & colored division, but the military attache at Washington, acting under instructions from his government, protested. CHAPTER XLIL N the heels of all the clamor for nothing but infantry and m chine gunners I received a re- Surprised at Attitude. I was surprised they should take this attitude, inasmuch as the French were anxious to have these troops by divi- sions or by regiments and, as has been mentioned, four regiments had been lent them tempordrily. Attempting to clear up the matter, I wrote Marshal Haig, sending an identical letter to Lord Mil- | ner, British minister of war: “My Dear Sir Douglas: “Some time ago I received a cable from my Government that it was nec- essary to list one of our colored divi- sions for early shipment to France. As you know, all of our infantry and ma- chine gun units to be embarked in the near future are destined for service, for the time being, with your forces. “1 aceordingly lied to the cable ¢ toihy ‘ect that the 92d (colored) Division could be included in the troops to be assigned to the forces under your command. It now appears, however, that the British military at- tache in Washington has made a pr¢ test against including any colored glb talions among the troops destined for service with your forces and that he | has stated lbll this protest was made | T1in behalf of your war office. jtother, Dr. Otto Kiep, % association and their st H.

Ak e E e “You will, ‘of course, appreciate my position in this matter, which, in brief, is that these negroes are American citizens. My Government, for reasons which concern {tself alone, has decided to organize colored combat divisions and now desires the early dispatch of one of these divisions to France, Naturally I can not and will not dis- criminate against these soldiers. “I am informed that the 92d Division is in a good state of training, and I have no reason to believe that its em- ployment under your command would be accompanied by any unusual diffi- culties. “I am informing my Government of this letter to you. May I not hope that the inclusion of the 92d Division among the American troops to be placed under | your command is acceptable to you and | that you will be able to overcome the | objections raised by your war office. Milner to Pershing A few days later I received the fol- | lowing letter from Lord Milner: “My Dear General: | “Your letter about the employment | of colored divisions with our British forces in France. I am rather hoping this difficult question may not, after all, be going to trouble us, for I see, from & telegram received from General Wagstafl, that the divisions 50 far ar- rived for training with the British do not include the 92d. “I hope this is so, for, a3 a matter of fact, & good deal of administrative trouble would, I think, necessarily arise if the British Army had to undertake the training of a colored division.” My cable to the War Department was to the effect that if the Secretary still desired to send this division over I should adhere to my former recom- mendation that it be included among those to go to the British for training. However, the War Department evidently did not wish to insist upon it, as the division came over shortly afterward and was not included among those sent to the British. ‘To give a resume of our situation as to manpower at this time, it may be said that the number of men in the Army at home and in Europe amounted 0 1,900,000, of whom 488,224 were in Prance and England. Of these, there were eight complete divisions in France and five incomplete, which, with regiments and smaller units of | auxiliary troops, made a total of 290,765 | combat troops. Of the complete units, | the 1st, 2d, 26th and 42d Divisions were occupying ' positions in quiet sectors, and the 24 was ready for such serv- ice. With the troops then in line we were holding an aggregate of 35 miles of front, or more than double that then held by the Belgians. Distribution of Troops.

French and British Ambassadors are again asking the President for additional infantry and machine gun units. Washington cables that cavalry organized for A. E. F. now needed on border.” It was my custom throughout the war, as both & duty and w pleasure, | to Visit the troops as frequently as pos sible to keep in touch with the suk‘ of efficiency and the morale of officers and men. As Bundy's 2d Division, with Harbord and E. M. Lewis as brigade commanders, was leaving the qulet sec- | tor south of Verdun en route to the billeting and training area to finish preparation for battle, the moment was opportune to meake a brief inspection. | I had an opportunity to talk with & | number of lfie officers in command of smaller units. I especially discussed | the question of supply with officers charged with that duty. ‘Troops Complimented. I visited Harbord's brigade of Ma- rines and found those I inspected in good shape and their billets well kept. The troops of the division that were seen on the march, especially the | trains, did not look so well. In an army like ours the care of imals is | difficult to teach. Cruikshank's artil- | lery looked well. The entraining at Ancemont was carried out in an or- | derly and systematic manner. General Blondiat, in whose corps the | 2d had been serving, spoke very highly of the troops but, contrary to the view of most French officers, he thought differences in language and tempera- ment were serious handicaps to com- bined work, and he was of the opinion that Americans should do their own | training. It was exceptional to hear an expression from French sources that agreed so completely with our own. The favorable impression obtained of this unit was very soon to be.confirmed on the battlefield, where its distinguished | service was to make its name immortal. Upon my return to Chaumont a | cable was handed me from the Secre- | tary of War on the unwelcome nubject‘ of ‘more infantry and machine gun units, as_ follows: “The President asked me to say to you that he has been very much lm-, pressed_and disturbed by represent tions omcially made to him by French | and British Ambassadors showing the | steady drain upon French and British | replacements and the small number of | replacement troops now available. He | feels that you on the ground have full | opportunity to know the situation and | fully trusts your judgment as to how far we ought to give additional priority to infantry and machine gun units, in view of the fact that such troops seem to be the most immediately serviceable and urgently needed.” Wanted Sympathetic Hearing. After saying that the Abbevillg agreement provided less priority than recommended by the Supreme War Council, the cable stated further: “It has been suggested to the Presi- dent that Gen. Foch may reopen this subject with you, and the President hopes you will approach any such in- terview as sympathetically as possible, particularly if the situation s to re: placements, which has been presented to him, is as critical as it seems.” | My reply set forth the principal argu- | ments used at Abbeville against the un- | limited shipment of the classes of troops | the allies requested. I pointed out that at that conference indicated that pos- | sibly enough tonnage would be forth- | coming o enable us to ship complete ! divisions, and that all concerned seemed | to be satisfied with the concessions we | made. ‘T added further: “I think we have fully and fairly met the situation. We have given the g:#me ‘War Council all it asked at villle, * * * It is believed that the Sctioniats Abbevine S ot ered as the deliberate expression of the Supreme War Council’s latest view. * * * Otherwise, as long as there is the slight- hope of getting_ concessions, there will be a_continual clamor, regardless of how it affects us. * * * Judging from what occurred at Abbeville and from the ex- pressions of approyal by Gen. Foch, 1 the subject until the question of July needs arises.” Judge Lindsey Calls.

Lunched with Ambassador Sharp, who says Clemenceau, Cambon and otners highly praise American troops. “Baw Foch at Versailles today and spoke again of building up an Ameri- can sector, which he seems to approve. | He expressed satisfaction with Ameri- can aid and especially with the as- signment of our aviators to the French. Had a talk with Bliss.” ‘There was, the service that gave us more trouble than aviation. Although Brig. Gen. Foulols, at his own request and that he might assume charge of aviation in the advance section, had been superseded by Maj. Gen. Patrick, his desire to ob- tain general co-operation, not only among the allles, but in our own serv- ice, made him a valuable assistant, and but for his experience and his | efforts we might not have avoided so many of the pitfalls tbat lay in our way. Form Aviation Committee The demands of the allles for ma- terial, for mechanics, for the adoption of this or that type of plane or engine, their efforts to get preferential jreat- ment from us or from each other, to say nothing of our own interior diffi culties in organization and manufac- ture, made accomplishment of tangible results very difficult. ‘The Interaliled Aviation Committee, established in Paris in the Fall of 1917, with the French undersecretary of aeronautics as chairman, was presum- ably concerned with the requirements |of the allies in aircraft material, but it resulted in nothing practical in the way of co-operation. Meanwhile, to co- ordinate our own needs as well as assist the allies, a Joint Army and Navy Aviation Committee in France was | formed. Generally speaking, this com- mittee did some effective work, but in the competition among the ailies for special advantage the interests of avia- tion as a whole were often overlooked. The French aviation control under- took, through the Interallied Aviation Committee, to ignore the American Army and Navy Committee's action in allocating_ material by appealing to the Supreme War Council, and as a conse- quence the council established its own | subcommittee, an outcome that really strengthened the American Army and Navy Committee and aided materfally in_ bringing about better co-operation among_ manufacturing interests and in the different countries. Meanwhile training of aviators was being carried on, and although the con- ditions were unfavorable, our fiyers were being sent to duty with the French at the front, where their serv- ices were receiving commendation.

Nearly always there were a few guests at meals, in- vited from among the visitors, both French and American, who came to headquarters. Officers from French G. H. Q. were frequent guests and we were always glad to have them. It was s welcome relief from the cares of the day when our dinner guests proved to be entertaining or in- teresting. If the guest was inclined to be more serious, he, too, was encour- aged in his particular line. Irvin 8. Cobb came along, and in his inimitable character as an entertainer gave us an exceptional evening. As a rule there was a ban on every- thing in the way of shop talk and the rule was rarely broken, and then only when we had speclal guests seeking enlightenment or information regarding our policies and activities. The mem- bers of the mess always Jooked forward to the occasion of meals as one of pleasure and relaxation. The mess was no place for one to pour out his woes or unnecessarily discuss the business of the day or the duties of the morrow.

The Vital Infantry Harbord and I were both from the cavalry, and the cavalry member of the staf? felt that he had at least & sympa- thetic audience. The infantry aide, however, always held his own in any discussion, as no matter how specious the arguments or perhaps the gibes at his e , we all knew that without the infantry the other arms would ac- complish little. The associations of such a m\ln are never forgotten, and even a od was enough to es- tablish a ptrlnlnent and affectionate relationship. Rotation in office was early adopted as a principle to be applied to the staff in general, and although it was never possible fully to carry it out, most of the officers of my staff got their chance st & tour with combat troops. Majs. Collins and Shallenberger, two of aldes who went with me to France, were the first to go to other duty, bef replaced by Mals. Quekemeyer a: Bowditch. Col. Boyd, who joined me as aide shortly after my arrival in Prance, remained throughout the wér. ‘When Gen. Harbord's turn came his place as chief of staff was taken by Gen. McAndrew. Several of the higher officers of the general staff had a tour with® troops, not only that they might have the opportunity to serve at the front, which is every soldier's ambition, but because they would return to staff duty with a broader and more sympa- thetic understanding of the line officer's point of view, and appreciate more fully the consideration that he deserves at the hands of the staff. According to the plan for the rota- tion of officers between line and staff several others were relieved and sent to serve_with troops. Among them were Col. Frank R. McCoy, secretary of the nnenl staff, relieved by Maj. James H Collins, and Col. W. D. Connor, chief of staff G-1, relieved by Col. G V. H. Moseley, Tonnage Still Problem. Our members of the Interallied Maritime Council were wide awake at this time in their search for additional tonnage. Dwight Morrow reported prospects of some increase, besides call- ing attention to tonnage that was idle or not being used to the best advantage. ‘The immense shipment of American troops contemplated the use of all avallable passenger-cargo carrying ships, British, American and neutral. As very little of any space would be left in such ships for cargo, the latter class of ships was in greater demand than ever. Meanwhile, the amount of world car- go tonnage bullt during the preceding five months was scarcely equal to the losses and the ships we were manufac- turing had only just begun to be turned out for service. It was at once evident that the immense program of troop shipments would call for extraordinary concessions on the part of all con- cerned. Indeed, there was some doubt in ship- ping circles whether enough cargo ships could be provided for us without neg- lecting the requirements of other na- tions for food and supplies. The pros- pects of increased tonnage from Ameri- can yards within the next few months, | thoufh little was ready at the moment, enabled the Shipping Control to take some chances and it the use of accumulated supplies various coun- SERVICE 1836—1931 1% LINER CHRISTENED BY MRS.
