CHAPTER XVIIL (Copyright, 1918, by William Fox) B\' July 20, 1917, General Pershing had arranged with the govern- ment at Washington to provide a regular trans-Atlantic transport service for provisioning and bringing general war supplies to the American Expeditionary Force Thus the United S es was to sup- ply all the food for the troops. There avas a world shortage in food in the | summer and fall of 1917. The enor- mous armies maintained by the Allies | had made a stupendous drain upon | all kinds of foodstuffs. The use of i all the available man power by these same nations had created a shortage of labor for the fields, and the supply of grains and other foods was less than ever before The United States, before entering the war,.had been sending Eng and France all the supplies that c be spared Now that America raising a huge army of her own had an additional call upon her re- sources, and some way had to be de- vised t oprovide for the world's food supply. Upon the request by General Persh- ing that the food situation be taken in hand, the United States govern- ment appointed a Food Administrator, and the whole country set out upon a. policy of food conservation. All available food was sent to Pershing and his army and to our allies. After America’s food reserves had been thus applied, the people saved enough out of their normal consumption to supply the American and allied armies until the following harvest. Since vast numbers of required to transport troops food, and the number of ships constantly decreasing owing to submarine activities of the Germans, General Pershing put in operation a plan by which many of the supplies | needed by the army could be manl- factured in France out of raw ma- | terials brought from America. The | raw material would take up only | small percentage of the space that the manufactured goods would occupy. Artillery and ammunition was needed at once and in large quantities. The United States had no immediate facilities for turning out guns in the quantities needed. The French army had a large numbdr of the best guns that could be devised and facilities for turning them out in vast numbers. Pershing decided it was better that the United States purchase these guns from the French government than to wait upon the American fac- tories. In every detail that related to the efficiency of the army General Persh- ing believed in getting the best that was available—in food, in clothing, and in equipment. He knew that nothing so seriously impairs morale of an army as ill-fed and dis- satisfled men. He knew that disease often kills more men than the bullets of the enemy, and he resolved that this should not be the case with his army. Pershing not only had to see that his men underwent a severe training to prepare themselves for their en- trance into the front-line trenches but he knew that he must undergo a simflar trsining himself in order to be fitted to 1 d them the time came, Lvery moment that could be spared from hig organization work he spent ships were and operations The first of the opposing armies, of these visits to th efront was on June 20, 1917, when he visit- ed Sir Douglas Halg, the commander-in-chief, After this he was frequently at the front—especial~ ly when the forces of either side were engaged in some large ment. %bus he had eppertunity to observe was | the | a | i every the | properly when at the front observing the trmnt-ndnuq.

On Augus great preliminar: in Paris and, w his army, moved 31 he had completed his organization work shing to be nearer to his headquarters to a town nearer the training camp, of | the American Expeditionary Forces. He wanted to supervise personally the | training of his men, so that they | would be able to take their places in the trenches at the earliest possible moment. The American army was increasing weekly by thousands. All stages of training were to be seen in the various camps. All of this training work was new to both officers and men. The | world war had brought new weapons. | new methods of using weapons, and | tactics that were unfamiliar. French | and British officers and men had been | detailed to teach the Americans the | use of these weapons and methods. The Americans proved apt students, and in a very short time some of them | had become more expert than their instructors.
