Her aliies, England, and France, were doing noble work, but thelr resources were becoming depleted. A campaign of preparation had to be inaugurated in the shortest time possible, so that the American forces would be ready against the time of need. Arriving in Washington, General Pershing was informed of the secret plans of the government, and drafted an outline df operations in conjunc- tion with Marshal Joffre, commander of the French army, who was here on | a special mission for his government.
