Marshal Halg sent the following message to General Read regarding the operations of the second corps: "I wish to express to you personally and to all the officers offi-cers and men serving nnder yon my warm appreciation of the very valuable and gallant services serv-ices rendered by you through-out through-out the recent operations with the Fourth British army. Called upon to attack positions of great strength, held by a determined de-termined enemy, all ranks of the Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth Thirti-eth American divisions under your command displayed an energy, en-ergy, courage and determination determina-tion In attack which proved Irresistible. It does not need me to tell you that in the heavy fighting of the past three weeks you have earned the lasting last-ing esteem and admiration of . your British comrades-in-arms, whose success you so nobly shared." The main objective of our Initial attack September 26 nad been reached. Falling to capture It In our first attempt we had deliberately, deliber-ately, systematically and doggedly stuck to the task In the face of many difficulties and discouragements. discourage-ments. CHAPTER LXIII The demands of incessant battle had compelled our divisions to fight to the limit of their capacity. Troops were held In line and pushed to the attack until deemed Incapable of further effort because of casualties or exhaustion; artil lery once engaged was seldom with drawn. Many batteries fought until un-til practically all the animals were casualties, leaving the guns to be towed out of line by motor trucks or by hand. Our men as a whole showed unrivaled un-rivaled fortitude in this continuous fighting during inclement weather and under the many disadvantages of position. Through such expert ence the army had developed into a powerful machine and had supreme su-preme confidence in Its ability to carry through successfully. October 23 the combat strength of the A. B. F. was l,2.r)6,478, of which 592,300 were In the First army. , The First army also included in-cluded 1 approximately 100,000 French combat troops. While the high pressure of our dogged' attacks was severe on our troops, it was calamitous to the enemy. He had been so hard pressed that once a division was engaged in the fight It became practically Impossible to effect its relief. The enemy was forced to meet recurring crises by breaking up tactical organizations and hurriedly hur-riedly sending detachments to different dif-ferent portions of the line. Every member of the American expeditionary forces, from the front line to the base ports, was straining every nerve. Extraordinary Extraor-dinary efforts were exerted by the entire services of supply to meet the enormous demands. Obstacles which seemed insurmountable were overcome daily In hastening the movements of replacements, ammunition, am-munition, and supplies to the front, and of sick and wounded to the rear. Now that the end was In prospect pros-pect everybody was In much better mood. M. Glemenceau was In fine humor when I saw him In Paris October 22, and was profuse In his compliments on the success of our army. The object of my visit was to urge his assistance In obtaining more horses for our artillery, which was almost immobile. The French bad furnished us 130,000 horses, but they were Inferior and were rapidly used up. Consider Armistice Terms. My diary records: "Paris, Monday, October 28, 1918. Met Marshal Foch and . allied commanders at Senlis Friday to consider terms of armistice. Petal n's views were stlrTer than Marshal llalg's and mine more stringent than either. ' "Have been laid up with grip since Saturday." At the opening of the conference Marshal Foch said In substance: "You ar doubtless aware that the Germans are negotiating for an armistice through the intermediary of the American government, and declare themselves ready to accept the fourteen points of President Wilson as a basis." , He went on to say that he bad called us together to obtain our views, and that he thought "the terms should be such as to render Germany powerless to recommence operations In ease hostilities are resumed." One of his officers then read aloud from a newspaper the fourteen points. Defers to British and French. Foch then asked my opinion as to conditions that should be Imposed, Im-posed, and I replied that as It was a matter of greater concern to both Great Britain and France than to the United States, and that as their armies bad been engaged en-gaged longer and bad suffered more than ours I thought It appropriate ap-propriate for Sir Douglas Halg and General Petain to express their viewa first Marsha Halg said In substance that the German army was far from being disintegrated and was still capable of. withdrawing to a shorter front and making a stand against equal or greater forces. On the other band, the allies were pretty well exhausted. The total shortage of men for the British and French armies, he said was about 250,000 each, with none available to fill the gaps. The American army, he further said, was not yet complete, and some time must elapse before It would be large enough to relieve the diminishing di-minishing allied armies. He thought the terms should be such that the Germans would not hesitate hesi-tate to accept them. ne then proposed immediate and complete evacuation of Invaded Invad-ed Belgian and French territory; occupation by the allies of Alsace, Lorraine, and the fortresses of Metz and Strasbourg; restitution of all rolling stock seized by the Germans in France and Belgium, or its equivalent, and repatriation of Inhabitants In-habitants of Invaded territory. Pershing Against Leniency. Marshal Foch then asked my views. I replied, in effect: "The general view that an armls tice should provide guarantees against a resumption of hostilities, give the allies a decided advantage, and be unfavorable to Germany In case hostilities should be resumed, meets with my approval. I think that the damage done by the war to the interests of the powers with which the United States Is assocl- a may be recalled, but the follow- 'B uy ne suDinitted Ills report to Prime Minister Clerueihc-nu. Mar shal Foch's reeommendiitloim embraced em-braced the main points proposed by the commander-ln inef, and were accepted by the supreme war council with practically no change. President Wilson'a comments ou my cable of October 23 were received re-ceived on the twenty-ninth, as fol lows : "The President directs me to say that he Is relying upon your counsel coun-sel and advice In this rrvitter, and in making the following comment he will be glad to have you feel entirely en-tirely free to bring to his attention any consideration he may have overlooked which In your Judgment ought to be weighed before settling nnnJly. ... "In general, the President approves ap-proves of your first subparagraph, but suggests wisdom of retention of at least part of German heavy guns, in pledge, and specific enu meratlon of territory to be evacuated evacu-ated other than France and Belgium. Bel-gium. This has to do especially with territory to the east and southeast, but should not Luxembourg Luxem-bourg be also included? "With regard to your second subparagraph, the President raises the question whether It Is necessary neces-sary for allied or American (forces) actually to occupy Alsace and Lorraine Lor-raine when evacuated under armistice. armis-tice. "With regard to your third sub paragraph, the President doubts ad-visibility ad-visibility of requiring allied or American occupation on eastern side of the Rhine, as that is practically prac-tically an Invasion of German soil under armistice. "The President concurs In your fourth subparagraph to the extent of continuing transportation for supplies for troops then In France, but would not Insist on right to in- W- CI "7 1.

"The ' present military situation is very favorable to the allies. The German forces since the beginning of the counter-offensive July 18 have been constantly In retreat and have no't been able to recover since that time. The condition of the French and British armies can best be Judged by the fact that they have been continuously on the offensive since then and that they are now attacking with much vigor. "As to the American army, the part it has taken in the operations since July 18 has not been inconsiderable. incon-siderable. It is constantly increasing increas-ing in strength and training; its staffs, Its services and Its higher commanders have improved by experience, ex-perience, so there is every reason to suppose that the American army will be able to take the part expected ex-pected of it In the event of resumption re-sumption of hostilities. I therefore there-fore propose: "1. Evacuation of France and Belgium within 30 days and of all other foreign territory terri-tory occupied by Germany without delay. "2. Withdrawal of the Ger- - man armies from Alsace-Lorraine and occupation of those territories by the allied ar-mles. ar-mles. ' "3. Withdrawal of German armies to the east of the Rhine and the possession of such bridgeheads on the eastern east-ern side of the Rhine by the allies as may be necessary to Insure their control of that river. "4. Unrestricted transportation transporta-tion of the American army and Its material across the seas. "5. Immediate repatriation of all nationals of foreign territory ter-ritory now or heretofore occupied occu-pied during the war by Ger- ""of Surrender of all U-boats and U-boat bases to tbe control con-trol of a neutral power until their disposition Is otherwise determined. 7 Return to France and Belgium Bel-gium of all railroad rolling stock that has been seized by Germany from those countries." coun-tries." Marshal Foch expressed his thanks for what I bad said, and added that while it was true the American army was still young, Its spirit was splendid and It was tremendously tre-mendously increasing every day In efficiency and in numbers. He then asked Marshal Halg whether, in view of what General PetaUi and I had said, be cared to modify his views on the terms of vmJL.L;rm which Halg re- 1 riled in the negative.

I cabled a reoort of the proceedings S Washington, includins my proposals pro-posals in detail as enumerated In the previous chapter. Marshal Foch did not definitely express h!, views at the conference. crease American forces during armistice. arm-istice. "With regard to your fifth Bub-paragraph, Bub-paragraph, if this means repatriation repatria-tion of troops now In German army which have been recruited from non-German soil occupied by Germans, Ger-mans, or repatriation of civil population pop-ulation deported from occupied territory, ter-ritory, the President approves. "With regard to your sixth, the President believes it would be enough to require Internment of U-boats In neutral waters as a further fur-ther pledge, and also to further unrestricted un-restricted transportation of American Amer-ican material referred to In your fourth, but does not think terms of armistice should suggest ultimate disposition of such U-boats, nor that U-hoat bases should be occupied occu-pied under armistice, as that would mean allied or American occupation occupa-tion of German soil not now in their possession. "Your seventh subparagraph the President approves. "In general, the President feels the terms of the armistice should be rigid enough to secure us against renewal of hostilities by Germany, but not humiliating beyond be-yond that necessity, as such terms would throw the advantage to the military party In Germany. "The President would be glad to have yon confer with Colonel House, who Is now in France, show Ing him copies of your dispatch and this answer, and generally discuss dis-cuss with him all phases of this subject." Gives Views to Council. Upon receipt of this cable I handed hand-ed to Mr. House October 30, for presentation pre-sentation to the supreme war council, coun-cil, the letter I had prepared, and In view of the first paragraph of the message I also cabled the substance sub-stance of the letter to Washington : "In considering the question whether or not Germany's request for an armistice should be granted, the following expresses my opinion from the military point of view: "1. Judging by their excellent conduct during the past three months the British, French. Belgian Bel-gian and American armies appear capahie of continuing the offensive Indefinitely. Their morale Is high and the prospects of certain victory vic-tory should keep it so. '"2. The American army Is constantly con-stantly Increasing in strength and experience, and should be able to take an increasingly important part In the allied offensive. Its growth both In personnel and material, with such reserves as the allies may fur nish. not counting the Italian army, should be more than equal to the combined losses of the allied armies. "a German man power Is constantly con-stantly diminishing and ber armies have lost over .MOW prisoners and over onethird of their artillery during the past three months in their effort to extricate themselves from a difficult situation and avoid disaster. " "4. The estimated strength of the allies on the western front, not counting Italy, and tf Germany, In rifles Is: Allies, lrf3.0H0: Germany. 1 134,000 an advantage In favor of the allies of 37 per cent "In gunsi Allies. 22.413; Ger many. 16,405 an advantage of 35 per cent in favor of the allies. If Italy's forces should be added to the western front we should have a still greater advantage, s. dermany-g morale Is un doubtedly low, her allies have asserted her one by one, and Bhe can no longer hope to win. Therefore There-fore we should take full advantage of the situation and continue the offensive until we compel ber unconditional un-conditional surrender. "6. An armistice would revivify the low spirits of the German army and enable It to reorganize and resist later on, and would deprive de-prive the allies of the full meusure of victory by falling to press their present advantage to Its complete military end. "7. As the apparent humility of German leaders In talking of peace may be feigned, the allies should distrust their sincerity and their motives. The appeal for an armistice armis-tice is undoubtedy to enable the withdrawal from a critical situation situa-tion to one more advantageous. "8. On the other hand the Internal Inter-nal political conditions of Germany, if correctly reported, are such that she Is practically forced to ask for an armistice to save the overthrow of her present government, a consummation con-summation which should be sought by the allies as precedent to permanent per-manent peace. Sought German Capitulation. "9. A cessation of hostilities short of capitulation postpones If It does not render Impossible the Imposition of satisfactory peace terms, because It would allow Ger-many Ger-many to withdraw her army with Its present strength, ready to resume re-sume hostilities If terms were not satisfactory to her. "10. An armistice would lead the allied armies to believe this the end of fighting, and it would be difficult if not Impossible to resume hostilities hostil-ities with our present advantage In morale in the event of failure to secure at a peace conference what we have fought for. "11. By agreeing to an armistice under the present favorable military mili-tary situation of the allies and accepting ac-cepting the principles of a negotiated nego-tiated peace rather than a dictated peace, the allies would Jeopardize the moral position they now hold and possibly lose the chance actually actu-ally to secure world peace on terms that would Insure Its permanence, "12. It is the experience of history his-tory that victorious armies are prone to overestimate the enemy's strength and too eagerly seek an opportunity for peace. This mistake mis-take is likely to be made now on ac- count of the reputation Germany nas gainea mrougn ner victories or the last four years. "13. Finally, I beJIeve the complete com-plete victory can only be obtained by continuing the war until we force unconditional surrender from Germany, but If the allied governments govern-ments decide to grant an armistice, the terms should be so rigid that under no circumstances could Germany Ger-many again take up arms. "Respectfully submitted: , "JOHN J. PERSUING. "Commander-in-Chief, A. E. F." That evening I received a note from Mr. House asking me about the views of the other comniand-ers-ln-ehlef. In conversation with my aide, Colonel Boyd, Mr. House said the question whether an armistice should be grauted was purely political and that all the prime ministers were In favor of it He had shown my letter, he said, to Clemenceau and to Lloyd George. I then wrote Mr. House a note to the effect that my opinion was based upon military considerations. 1 also advised Marshal Foch, through Colonel Mott. that I thought we should demand unconditional uncon-ditional surrender. The following day a message came to me at Sojilly from Colonel Mott saying that the Marshal Mar-shal was much pleased, as he held similar views. ' Tbe correspondence which led up to the armistice began, as we have seen, as far back as October 5, by the application of the German government gov-ernment to President Wilson for an armistice on the basis of the Fourteen Four-teen Points set forth In his speech to congress January 8, 1918. German compliance with the President's demands, following an exchange of notes that continued through the month, was expressed In a note October 27, and November 5 tbe Germans were advised to apply ap-ply to Marshal Focb for terms of an armistice. In the light of later events we know Germany was more nearly beaten than the allied leaders realized real-ized at that time, and was. In fact, In no position to resume the fight-, Ing even had her government re mained Intact Her last division was In line, her supply system was demoralized, and the congestion behind be-hind her lines made It practically impossible for her to move her armies In the face of the aggressive aggres-sive allies.
