Then, much to my surprise, he proposed that the objectives in the St. Miluel operation be restricted and the attack made on the southern face only, and that upon its completion two other operations be undertaken by combined Ameiican and French, a number of our divisions going under French command. Pershing Insists on U. S. Army. I repented what I had often said, that the American government and people expected the army to act as a unit and uot be dispersed in this way. I pointed out that each timp we were about to complete the organization of oe- - armv, some proposition like this was presented to prevent it Tlie discussion was somewhat heated and much of it was earned on so rupidly that it could not be translated. He continued to reiterate ins demands for tlie adoption of his plan, but I had learned that It was necessary to he very firm in dealing wuh him, and I finally said, in effect: 'Marshal Foch, you have no nu thority as allied commander In chief to cull upon me to yield up my command of the American armv to have it scattered among the allied forces, where it will not be an American army at all. He was apparently surprised at rny resentment of Ills attempt to confine American effort to subordinate roles, and said, I must Insi- -t upon tlie arrangement," to which I replied, ns we both rose: I on may Insist all yon pleisp, but to your I decline absolutely to will fight Wlnle our army plan. wherever you may decide, It will not fight except ns an independent American army. t do vvtiat II -- aid tie was he could tovvaid forming an Nmeru.m He then pi. bed up hi- - map-nn- d army papeis and n ft. very pa e ml np e door say mg at patently xliati-te- d me tin met nu an him of a- - lie handed th il his ptiposal ill it lie thong! afti r candid study I -- hould arrive at tlie same eencliision he hud Agreement is Reached My tin. f of stalT.
