LLOYDGEORGEFOE " PERSHING N 11 Baker Reveals War Premier Desired Remov=! of U. S. Comma._icr. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 11—Newton D. Baker, President Wilson's Secretary of War, has revealed that the then Premier David Lloyd George of Great Britain at one time apparently desired the removal of Gen. John J. Pershing as commander in chief of the American expeditionary force in the World War. In 2 letter to Col. Lloyd C. Griscom, former lizison officer between Gen. Pers| d the British war office, Mr. Baker,wrote that the war-time premier he American Army was useless™ to the British forces on the verge of asking for Gen, Pershing’s recall, Baker’s Reply Praised. Col. Griscom, now publisher of the Nassau Daily Ster, commented in that newspaper “that Mr. Lloyd George failed actually to make this demand was perhaps due to the spirited and masterly ner in which Mr. Baker met the onslaught.” At the cenclusion of a dinner in London in 1918, Mr. Baker wrote, M Lloyd George “with vehement emph complained that the American Army in France was of no service to the British at all in spite of the fact that Great Britain had stripped necessary empire services of ships in_order to carry American troops to France, and that they had scarcely gotten to France be- fore Gen. Pershing pulled them away from the British and took them into his own custody on another part of the line. “This description was most earnest and vehement, resulting in the final declaration of Lloyd George that so far as Great Britain was concerned the American Army was perfectly useless and the ship service devoted to bring them over wasted.” Premier Changes Subject. Mr. Baker replied that from his own observation on the front lines, he was convinced that the American troops were “at least detaining that many German divisions which might other- wise be added to the concentration sgainst the French and British.” He countered with an offer to dis- continue the transportation of Ameri- can soldiers on British ships and move only such forces as could be carried on American vessels. The premier changed the subject and the matter was not dis- cussed again. The next morning, Mr. Baker re- called, Lord Reading. former viceroy to | India, said with “diplomatic casual- ness” that Mr. Lloyd George “asked me to say to you that you should think no more about the matter which he raised for discussion last night at dinner.” CALLS U. .
