None of the questions brought before the first session could be settled, but they were taken up by the more permanent body, the supreme war council, which, as time went on, undertook to co-ordinate the work of the various va-rious committees that had been formed to handle the problems Involved, In-volved, y ; CHAPTER XXIII .A large party, Including Col. E. M. House, the American delegates to the Interallied conference, Ambassador Am-bassador William G. Sharp and Lord Northcliffe, went by special train from Paris December 4, 1917, to our training area, stopping at my Cbaumont headquarters en route. ! On the train I bad an Interesting conversation with Lord Northcliffe of the British air board, regarding the formation of an American army and Its transportation overseas. Lord Northcliffe thought his government gov-ernment should do more to help with shipping, but like most Englishmen Eng-lishmen be believed It best for us to send our. men lor service with the British. He argued ln favor of a proposal that Lloyd George had recently made to Mr. House, that we " should incorporate ' ln their units any Infantry that we might not be able to organize Immediately Immediate-ly into complete-divisions of our own. "; ; ": . nt Is all very well,!' I said, "to make such an appeal to us, but it is Impossible to ignore our national nation-al viewpoint ,The people themselves them-selves would not approve, even though the President and his advisers ad-visers should lean that way.'-We ca,nnot permit our men to serve under another' flag except ln an extreme emergency, and then only temporarily." - - , ' ' '' I also , Insisted that we could contribute more largely to allied success by the use of the American army as a unit Hits Fault Finders. About that time Mr. House told me that Petaln had criticized the American "Ideas of training and also that Louis Loucheur, minister of munitions, had spoken about the rise ln prices cansed by American purchases. " Mr. House wisely suggested sug-gested to these gentlemen, he said, there would be no further action of this kind on his part As a matter of fact, I think the French erroneously regarded House as a sort of special ambassador, and thought that they could ay the foundation for an approach through him to the question of amalgamation. Just before his return to the states House said to me that he entirely agreed with me, and that he felt sure the President and the secretary of war intended to leave the whole question regarding the disposition of our troops to my Judgment Assurance on this point was In no sense necessary, as 1 had full confidence that this was the case. During his stay in France 1 formed a high opinion of House's ability. We formed a, friendship in the beginning which enabled us to discuss all matters most freely and frankly. Before he left for home he and I arranged for confidential confi-dential communication by cable should it become necessary to reach Mr. Baker or Mr. Wilson direct di-rect Tha Missing Turkeys. Immediately upon my return to headquarters at Chaumont December Decem-ber 7, .15)17, ; General ' Harbord reported re-ported there had been a shortage of turkeys and other essentials of a truly American Thanksgiving dinner, and In a facetious manner deplored the heartlessness of a staff at Washington that would so neglect our troops. He stated that the shortage was due to these supplies, which had been ordered In September for delivery de-livery November 1, being burled under a large cargo that could not be unloaded In time. The following follow-ing cable was sent as written by Harbord : - - "On September 18 supplies for Thanksgiving were ordered. Tour cablegram stated mincemeat shipped on Montanan. There was no mincemeat on Montanan. Mincemeat Mince-meat arrived November 26 on Powhatan, Pow-hatan, underneath heavy cargo, which It was necessary to discharge dis-charge before mincemeat could be unloaded.

Sweet potatoes po-tatoes arrived on Dakotan and could not .be unloaded until 'November 'No-vember 22 ; result, some troops did divisions came In time for service early in 1918, the Sixth and Sev-enth Sev-enth arriving to take part ln the fail campaign. CHAPTER XXIV The progress of our preparation ?t kme at this time (December, 1J17) was far from being satisfactory, satisfac-tory, as tests of newly arrived troops showed that their instructions instruc-tions were not up to our standards In France. It was evident that my recommendations recom-mendations were being disregarded. disregard-ed. This faulty training at home threw an extra burden upon us of training officers and men after their arrival. I had urged that we should follow fol-low our own conception of training, emphasizlug the rifle and bayonet as the supreme weapons of the infantry in-fantry soldier, and insisting upon training for open warfare. The training of officers for the general staff, whirh isn nppDcaoriin had to be undertaken in France, was weu unaer way at the general staff school, at Langres, 40 miles south of Chaumont, under the able direction of Major General Mc-Andrew. Mc-Andrew. . We were confronted with the task of building up an army, of millions that would require as many trained staff officers as we had officers offi-cers ln the whole regular army at the beginning of the war. To meet this urgent demand Washington was asked to send over In advance a" small percentage of officers from each division for Instruction, but only a few ever came.

I also told him that French dealer's - were largely to blame If prices had risen, as we had eliminated competition com-petition among ourselves and that our purchases were and had been for some time, actually handled through French "officials. ... I objected to these back-door methods of lodging complaints and emphasized the necessity of frankness frank-ness and directness In all our dealings. deal-ings. I asked him to give instructions instruc-tions that If there was any fault to find with our methods it should be brought to my personal attentlon.-He attentlon.-He entirely agreed with me and expressed chagrin and surprise that ny other course had been followed. fol-lowed. On the face of It there was no other conclusion, however, than that both complaints were made for the purpose of finding out Just the extent of my Independent authority. au-thority. Gets Apology From Petaln. I took occasion a few days later to let Petain know very politely what I thought of the Impropriety of this sort of thing and also criticized him then and there for telling anybody, even Mr. House, as he had done, about the plan to attack the St Mihiel salient as the first offensive by the American army. , I was pleased with Petain's apology and his etatement that hot have sweet "potatoes.

I recommended that regular regiments regi-ments at Honolulu and elsewhere be relieved for this purpose by National Na-tional Guard regiments. These regular troops would more nearly approximate the standards of our allies at' the start, and, more important im-portant still, their use would diminish di-minish the chances of reverses during our first encounters with the enemy.

Hoping to commit the British definitely on the question of tonnage, ton-nage, which up to that time we had not succeeded In doing.
