None has been expected. Home Ports Overcrowded. The difticulty of providing the French with raw material was lurgely traceable to the luck of shipping, and, of course, the unscientific use of wtmt we had. Tlie fact is phut tlie ions al home were overcrowded with all sorts of material aud supplies awaiting ves sels. The French had over (.(Hi.ooo tom of supplies at seaboard, whvh they were unable to move, mid were cium oring for 150,000 tons additional ol steel rails. As the situation in which we found ourselves regarding artillery aumiuni tion was approaching a crisis, it he came necessary to lay tlie whole question before the Interallied munitions hoard. After a full investigation of their resources, both the French amt British concluded that they could un dertake to mee! our requirements, with the distinct understanding that their plants must be greatly increased in capacity and that we should furnish raw materials promptly. The late Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, duel of the War department general staff, represented us in the allied conference and reported results and agreements Lie had brought the latest reached. data from home and his knowledge concerning steel and munitions enabled him to give valuable assistance to my chief of ordnance in our efforts to flud a solution to the difficult munitions problem. A letter from Secretary of War Baker, dated September 10, had only recently - been received, and gave me an Idea of some of his problems. In part he wrote as follows: I am especially concerned that our troops should not be engaged in actual fighting In France until they are there in such numbers and have made such thorough preparation that their first appearance will be encouraging both to their own morale and to the spirit of our people here. I think It goes without saying that the Germans will make a very special effort to strike swiftly and strongly against any part of the line which we undertake to defend, In order to be able to report to their people encouragingly about our participation and also with the object of discouraging our soldiers and our people as much as possible. In tlie matter of selecting corps and division commanders I constantly feel that I ought to have your udviie and judgment. From all that you have said, supplemented by all I have learned elsewhere, the need for young aud physically strong men Is apparent and I am perfectly willing to go any limit in meeting this requirement. It will, of course, necessitate pass ing over a substantial number of our older generals who are very eager to go to France and who, in their own Ideas and that of the country, have But certain right to be preferred. their occupation here In the training of troops Is, of course, a valuable contribution to the cause and, whenever I can feel sure in the selection of the younger man that he actually has the capacity to develop to a sufficient ex tent to justify his being preferred to a man of greater experience I shall not streugtm-ner- t action born. been war council made a The supreme nave the Impres and start favorable conservative l hat a wise and of its really unlimited powers I I I Its actions It reinterfering directly with Bmllitary commanders and operations I Cd confined Itself largely to questions of I f0( policy, such as the co ordination I i.med resources and the conservation distribution of allied strength. l went on, the I .f However, as time assumed greater council war re4ter aut!mri,y over mlll,ary r characterize iCd joined - from :id Questions.

I Inspected the division November 11, 1917, and found the various organizations presented a very creditable appearance. The officers seemed alert and military and the personnel looked strong and vigorous. Their instruction had been carried out under the direction of Brigadier General Traub, one of the brigade commanders, and seemed to be well advanced. Germans Ahead In Man Power. The probable situation as to man power In which the allies would find themselves In the spring was causing much solicitude. The Germans had captured Riga In September. Kerensky's power was at an end and the bolshevik government was established, with Lenin and Ttotzky In control. The situation was such that Russia had become entirely negligible as far as assistance to the allies was buys!
