The success of this division and of the First at Cantigny and the Third on the Marne, following as they did the crisis of May 27, were loudly acclaimed by the French, and for the time being had a very stimulating effect upon French morale. With the transfer of activities to the French front northeast of Paris, our plan to build up aa American corps near Amiens had become impracticable, and as I had offered General Petain the services of our divisions wherever they might be needed it now appeared possible to form at least a corps and possibly an army sumewliere along the Marne salient.
