By the morning of the 28th the gains of the enemy were such that the French high command was compelled com-pelled to relieve much of the reinforcing re-inforcing artillery behind the First division and transfer It to that front. The enemy's artillery within range of Cantigny thus became superior su-perior to ours and was able to concentrate con-centrate a terrific fire on the unsheltered un-sheltered truop3 in the -captured position. po-sition. Ills reaction against our troops was extremely violent and apparently he was determined at all cost to counteract the excellent effect the American success had produced upon the allies. Under cover of heavy bombardment bombard-ment a series of counterattacks were made by the enemy, but our young Infantrymen stood theh ground and broke up every attempt to dislodge them. The regiment sustained severe casualties from the large caliber shells poured down upon It and had to be reinforced rein-forced by a battalion each from thf-Highteenth thf-Highteenth and Twenty-sixth regi meuts.

U. 8. Troops to Chateau Thierry. The alarming situation had caused General Fetaln to call on me on the 80th for American troops to be sent to the region of Chateau Thierry. The Third division (Dick-man), (Dick-man), then In training near Chau-mont, Chau-mont, being the only division within with-in reach, besides the Second, was ordered to move north Immediately. Dickman started his motorized machine-gun battalion' over the road on the afternoon of May 30. The infantry and engineers entrained the same night, and the division's supply trains marched overland. The first element to reach Chateau Cha-teau Thierry was the machine-gun battalion, which arrived the afternoon after-noon of May 81, and Immediately went Into action against the enemy, who then held the half of the town north of the Marner By daylight on June 1 all available guns had been provided with cover and were in their positions, one company with eight guns, defending the main wagon bridge,' and another with nine guns about 500 yards to the east, guarding the approaches to the railroad bridge. From these positions they repulsed all attempts by the Germans to cross the Marne. Meanwhile, as the Infantry of the division came up on June 1 Us battalions were put Into line to reinforce the French from Chateau Thierry east to Dormans. The conduct con-duct of the machine-gun battalion In this operation was highly praised by General Petaln In a citation Issued Is-sued later. Stopped German Drive on Paris. The Second division fRnnilvl May 30 ; was near Chaumont-en-Vexin and was nrennrinff to move northward the next .day for concen tration near ueauvais to relieve the First division at Cantlsmv.

Reaching there, the leading elements were hurried forward in the direction of Chatean Thlerrv. The roads were crowded with French troops and refugees.

In the early morning morn-ing of June 2 the Twenty-third Infantry, In-fantry, then on ths left, was replaced re-placed by the French One Hundred Sixty-seventh division, and when reinforced re-inforced by one battalion of the Fifth marines, the Fifth machine-gun machine-gun battalion and some engineers, it was deployed to the right between be-tween the Sixth marines and the Ninth Infantry, to fill a gap In the French line, and by June 5 the entire en-tire division became eagaged. Considering that this was Its trst experience In battle, this division made a splendid defense, repulsed all German attacks, and by Its timely time-ly arrival effectively stopped the German advance on Paris. The sndden appearance and dramatic dra-matic entrance of the Second and Third divisions Into the shattered and broken fighting line and their dash and courage In battle produced a favorable effect upon the French Pollu. It must have been with a decided feeling of relitf that the worn and tired French army, retreating re-treating before vastly superior num bera, caught sight of Americans arriving ar-riving in trucks at Meaux and marching thence on foot, bats off. hurrying eagerly forward to battle. And the Germans, who had been filled with propaganda deprecating the American effort and the quality of ear training, must have been surprised and doubtless rather disconcerted by meeting strong resistance re-sistance by Americans on different portions of this active battle front, especially when our troops ad vanced at once to meet rh .mi. In open combat This defeat of the French furnished fur-nished the second striking confirmation confir-mation of the wisdom of training troops for open warfare. Replies to French Criticism. After the success of our troops we were In no mood to listen to self -appointed critics. M. Andre Tardleu called on me upon my return re-turn to Paris and undertook to point out that our staff was inefficient ineffi-cient and offered criticisms of our orgunlzwlon. As this was something some-thing he could not possibly know about, I replied that he had got an entirely erroneous Impression and that our staff was second to none In either ability or efficiency. I advised him that we had quite enough of this sort of thing from the French, either military or civilian, civil-ian, and suggested that If his people peo-ple would cease troubling themselves them-selves so much about our affairs and attend more strictly to their own we should all get along much better. I did not fall to appreciate M Tardieu's ability and his helpfulness helpful-ness on many occasions, but this constant Inclination on the a certain element among the French to assume a superiority that did not exist then or at any later period, added to the attempts ol some of them to dictate, had reached the limit CHAPTER Xtlll The sixth session of the supreme war council was convened June 1, 1918. The Important matter of furnishing fur-nishing shipment of American troops was taken up. As already Indicated, it was my opinion that neither the character of the troops to be sent over nor their disposition was within the province of the council to decide, but that these questions should be 'n my Judgment In this matter. At nothing was being aecompllihed, and hoping the numbar of partlcl-' Pants la the discussion might be limited, I proposed we adjourn until the following day. CHAPTPER XUV. Further conversation at ths season sea-son of the supreme war council showed the uncertainty In the minds of the allies. Prime Minister Minis-ter Lloyd George, reverting to losses, said that before the great German attack In May he had been Informed positively the Germans had only 4IXJ.000 replacements left, and Hint now, after the most violent vio-lent fighting, In which It was re ported the Germans had suffered very heavy losses, they still had more than 300,000 replacements. The allies also had 300,000, but It was now contended, he said, that the British army was on the decline de-cline while that of the enemy was not. Mr. Lloyd George asked if that could be cleared up. to which General Gen-eral Foch replied that It was he-cause he-cause the enemy managed better, and he went on to say that Germany, Ger-many, with a population of 68,ouu,-000, 68,ouu,-000, could maintain 204 divisions, while Great Britain, with 45,0tio.000 Inhabitants, could keep up only 43. After further argument on discrepancies dis-crepancies of various figures, and insistence by General Foch that the number of divisions be maintained, the consideration of the transportation transpor-tation of American troops In Juno and July was resumed. The decision de-cision having reached an Impasse, It was suggested that Lord Mllner, British war minister, General Foch and I should undertake to draw up a program. In the consideration of the question ques-tion by us the point of my contention conten-tion was won when General Wey-gand, Wey-gand, who was Foch's principal ad- D t Hi it " -4 f Doughboys Bringing in German Prisoners. determined by ourselves according to circumstances and after discus-Bion discus-Bion with the allies. So I obiected to their considera tion by the council, as such, and suggested a , meeting outsiae me the council, which was approved. Accordingly, In the late afternoon, General Foch, Lord Milner, British war minister; General Weygand and L with Colonels Conner and Boyd, met in the premier's room. General Foch began by stating the serious condition of the allies and proposed the continued shipment from America of nothing but infantry infan-try and machine-gun units in June and July, in effect 250,000 In each month. Every one realized the gravity of the allied situation as strongly as he did, but, as previ ously and persistently contended by me, there were two sides to the question. I was prepared to make some concessions and stated my views, but neither facts nor arguments seemed to make any Impression. General Foch especially was very positive and earnest, and, In fact, became quite excited, waving his hands and repeating: "The battle, the battle; nothing else counts." With equal emphasis I urged that we must build up our organization as fast as possible to carry on the battle to the end, and that our program pro-gram had been seriously interrupted interrupt-ed by concessions already made. I called attention to the fact that the railways all over France were on the point of breaking down for lack of efficient operators and of skilled workmen to repair rolling stock; that our ports would be hopelessly blocked unless we eould improve the railways; that his plan wnnid Iahva ns 200.000 men short I tn nmniet combat units and fill up special organizations mat were absolutely necessary in me o. u. o., on finoiiv thnt the restriction of ! our shipments to infantry and ma-t ma-t chine-gun units would be a very dangerous and short-signiea poucy. To much of this he paid little or no attention and replied that all these things could be postponed. Wanted Wilson Informed. Graeme Thompson, British expert on transportation and supply, came into the room at this point with Mr. Lloyd George and Gen. Sir Henry Wilson, and took part In the discussion. dis-cussion. Mr. Lloyd George sa d he thought President Wilsoa would be deeply .Interested to get General Foch's view of the situation and added that as America had no prime minister present he thought it would be Inconvenient for us to make a decision, but that this subject sub-ject should be brought before the whole councIL . I then called attention to a cable from Secretary of War Baker . already al-ready quoted, showing that the President ftad been much embarrassed embar-rassed by representations made to him personally by the French and British ambassadors, and bat I suggested sug-gested that the matter might be settled by a conference between General Foch and myse f. I pointed point-ed out that the cable did ot mention men-tion the supreme war counc L and I again stated my opposition to making the subject one of general discussion by all allied representatives represen-tatives and their staffs. I did not fall to point out fur ther that the President was trust- viser, remarked that it would be as well to leave the new drafts to be trained at home a month or so longer. Although my argumeuts had failed to make anv imnresftlon on General Foch he at once approved Weygand's suggestion. Agreement on U. 8. Troops. With this out of the wav we soon drew up the agreement embodied In the following cablegram sent to Washington June 2: "(a) For June: First absolute priority shall be given the transpor tation of 170,(JOO combatant troops (viz., six divisions without artillery, artil-lery, ammunitions trains or supply trains, amounting to 126,000 men and 44,000 replacements for combat troops) ; second, 25,400 men for the service of railway, of which 13.400 have been asked by the French minister of transportation; third, the balance to be troops of categories cate-gories to be determined by the commander com-mander In chief, American expeditionary expedi-tionary forces. "(b) For July: First, absolute priority for the shipment of 140,000 combatant troops of the nature defined de-fined above, four divisions minus artillery, etc., amounting to 84,000 men plus 50,000 replacements; second, sec-ond, the balance of the 250,000 to consist of troops to be designated by the commander In chief, American Ameri-can expeditionary forces. "(c) It Is agreed that If available avail-able tonnage In either month allows al-lows the transportation of a larger number of men than 250,000 the excess ex-cess tonnage will be employed in the transportation of combat troops as defined above. (d) We recognize that the combatant com-batant troops to be dispatched In July may have to Include troops with Insufficient training, but we consider the present emergency to justify a temporary and exceptional iionnrtiire hv the United States from sound principles of training, especially as a similar course Is being be-ing followed by France and Great Britain.

RICHARDSON QN THE way to the train to meet her daughter and the six-months-old grandson, Isabel Bingham did not feel like a grandmother. grand-mother. In addition she knew that Henry Wiltshire had not suspected the unwelcome relationship. Half a dozen times this altogether handsome hand-some eligible lad seemed to be tottering tot-tering on the brink of a proposal. Now If he discovered the existence of the grandson he would forever be deterred. She could not In her wildest imagination picture the debonair Wiltshire In the role of grandfather. Indeed, she must ward off his visits until after Peggy and the baby left Isabel elbowed her way toward the train. There was Peggy in one arm the baby and In the other an assortment of pillows and pink blankets. The rebellious re-bellious grandmother first shuddered shud-dered and then gathered the pink and white bunch of bouncing hu manity in her arms. ' "Why, mother, I never saw you looking so young," Peggy said. "What have you been doing to yourself" your-self" "Just forgetting realities," Isabel replied, leading the way to a taxi. 'I'm willing to be an old-fashioned grandmother though to give you the rest you need. While you're here, the baby's my charge." The girl sighed as she settled herself her-self in the corner of the seat "That will be heavenly," she said. "I was never so tired." Poor Peggy I During the two weeks of her visit Peggy must be as free as she was In the old days, must play with the girls until the tired look left her eyes. That afternoon while Peggy and the baby slept Isabel called Henry Wiltshire's office. Waiting for the connection, she remembered frantically fran-tically that she had thought of no reason for requesting Henry Wiltshire Wilt-shire not to call. Then she heard his voice on the wire, "A most unemected thine has happened," she faltered. "I can't see you for two weeks. I I may have to be away. I I'll call you when I am free again." There was real concern In Henry Wiltshire's tone. "Can I be of service to you?" he asked. "In this er In this case," Isabel stammered, "there's nothing you can do. There are others Involved besides myself." When Isabel hung up she felt that Henry Wiltshire might conjecture a number of frightful things. Why, she had sounded positively melodramatic melo-dramatic I Falling In love at forty-five forty-five was more demoralizing by far than falling In love at sixteen. Isabel Bingham had known Henry Wiltshire only two months. The company of which he was president pres-ident was establishing a branch In her city, and he found it necessary to be there almost constantly until the new offices were under way. Henry Wiltshire's courtship, beginning be-ginning at once, had combined all the fire of youth and all the determination deter-mination of middle age. Isabel from the first was swept off her feet Recently, however, she had been a bit disturbed by his fuilure to propose. The first days of Peggy's visit were so full that Isabel found little time to grieve over the absence of Wiltshire.. Strangely, Isabel was rather enjoying her new duties. At the close of a day during which Isabel had had the baby all to herself while Peggy went to a bridge luncheon a terrible possibility possibil-ity nr-mrrpd to her.
