The cahlegram and Pershing’s re- ply are quoted in part in the mono- graph, “The Genesis of the Ameri- ican First Army,” Just published by the historical section of the army war college. It is the first complete official account of difficulties which beset Pershiug in building an Amer- ican army in the World war, and throws a flood of light on recent dis- cussions of the relations between Pershing and Marshal Foch. “Roth Rritish and French pressing upon president their desires to have your forces amalgamated with theirs by regiments and companies and both express belief in impending heavy drive by Germans somewhere along lines of western front,” Baker cabled. “We do not desire loss of identity of our forces, but regard that as secondary to meeting any critical situation by most helpful use of {roops at your command. *“The president desires . . you te have full authority ‘to use the forces at your command as you deem wise in consultation with the T'rench and British commanders in chiet.” . Pershing Steadfast On January §, Pershing answered: “Have expressed willingness to aid in any emergency, but do net think %ood reason yet exists for us to break up own divisions and scatter regiments for service among French and British, especially under guise of instruction Every endeavor will be made to arrive at satisfac- tory agreement conaistent with maintenance of our own national military identity.” From then on to the eve of the Argone battle, when he faced Foch with the unwavering demand that American forces be ‘permitted to fight as an American army under its own fiag and its own commanders, Pershing had no rest from the de- mand for employment of his troops in allies armies. That final scene was August 30 with Foch mapping a “concentric at- tack” . on the Wwavering German lines, pivoting on the Argonne drl\:e toward Mezieres but with Pershing's first army to be broken into divi- sions or corps in French armies. Pershing resisted, demanding a front of his own in the Argonneror any- thing else. Foch Convinced “Do you wish to go to the battle Foch, balked by Pershing's insis- tence on an American army, thun- dered at him. “Most assuredly; but as an Amer- fean army.” Pershing answered without hesitation or heat. The historian’s comment is that “the decision affected more than a million Americans.” When Pershing, 10 days later, won his point the ¥rench generalissimo and the Amer- ican commander were again on the hest of terms. In their final confer- erce as to this decision. Foch said: “T have never doubted the senti- m-nts which animate you.” | Thus it came that despite the months of disagreement from Janu- | ary to September in the last year of the war. these two commanders were again as they were in March lv made generaliseimo, to offer him American troops to do with “as you choose in the mighty battle” pre- cipitated by the German assault on the British front. = - Monmths of Friction Yet in between these dates in March and September there was un- ending friction and stern insistence bty Pershing upon allied acceptance of the principle that there should be ereated an American Aarmy on an American front. Time and again the army monograph tells in details cf postponements in accomplishments of his plans to gather hia fitet army together under his own direct com- mund. The Americn first army actually was assembled with Pershing him- #s¢lf in command only on the eve of #t. Mihiel, shortly before the Ar- gonne offensive. And it was then Foch came with his plan azain to scatter it in French armies and the wills ‘of the two leaders clached for the last time. The hair of men is said to be finer than that of women.

Suits Against Tria Heard in City Court Evidence was heard today in city court before Judge Morris 1). Saxe in three separate actions against Victor Tria, architect of parts un- known. The suits were brought by Sam Waskowi(z and Bernard Berko- witz, who had advanced money to the architect in the construction of three houses on Wells street. The amount of the notes in each instance $3,650 with 81,620 advanced in all. The rest was to be advanced as the work on constructing the houses progressed. Tria however, defaulted in continuing the work and left the city for paris unknown. The plain- tiffs now seek to recover amounts ad- vanced with interest to date. Judge £axe ordered counsel for the plain- tiff and counsel for co-defendants to file briefs, Attorncy M. 8. Gordon represented the plaintiffs and Cyril Gaffney was counsel for the co-de- fendants.
