W. M. Black, chief of engineers; l.Ieut. Col. M. L. Brett, Commander ICIT White Of the navy, and Ralph Ila.ves, his secretary. It was essential that the secretary receive every opportunity to Inspect our whole layout, from the front areas to the services of supply, that he might become familiar with plans, observe the progress made toward their comInforma pletion. and obtain tlon of our requirements, all of which he was especially anxious to do. Leaving Paris March 12 we Inspected our most Important ports, depots, hos motor pnrks pitals, regulating-station- s, and schools, and returned March 17 to my headquurtersat Chauinont.
