GENERAL PERSHING PA YS
HIGH TRIBUTE TO YANKS
IN FIGHTING THE EN EM Y
Reporting on fCar American Commander-in-chieJ
Tells How His Men 'Became Veterans Over
Night and Entered Conflict as Though
Thoroughly Seasoned
Washington, Dec. 5. General
John J. Pershing's account of his
work as commander of the Amer
ican Expeditionary Forces was given
to the public yesterday. It is in
the form of a preliminary report to
Secretary or War Baker, covering
operations up to November 20 af
ter the German collapse. It closes
with these words from the leader
of the great army in France, ex
pressing his feeling for those who
served under him:
"I pay the supreme tribute to our |
officers and soldiers of the line. ,
When I think of their heroism, their
patience under hardships, their un
flinching spirit of offensive action, I!
am tilled with emotion which 1 am j
unable to express. Their deeds are j
Immortal, and they have earned the
eternal gratitude of our country." j
The report begins with General j
Pershing's departure for France to j
pave the way for the army that
was to smash German resistance on j
the Meuse and give vital aid to the
Allies in forcing Germany to its:
knees nineteen months later. Its j
striking feature is the section devot- !
ed to "combat operations." where is j
told the story of fighting by the man
who directed it.
General Pershing views the en-1
counters before March 21, of this j
year, in which American troops :
participated as a part of their train- i
ing and dismisses them briefly. Ori j
that date, however, the great Ger- •
man offensive was launched, and a ■
crucial situation quickly developed j
in the Allied lines which called for ;
prompt use of the four American
divisions that were at that time j
"equal to any demands of battle ,
action."*
The first crisis of the German j
drive had been reached in Picardy..
The crisis which this offensive
developed was such," General Per- :
shing says, "that our occupation of
an American sector must be post
poned. On March 2S I placed at,
the disposal of Marshal Foch, who
had been agreed upon as comman- j
der-in-chief of the Allied armies, i
ail of our forces to be used as he
might decide. At his request the
First division was transferred from
the Toul sector to a position in re
serve at Chaumont en Vexin.
"As German superiority in num
bers required prompt action, an |
agreement was reached at the Abbe- |
viile conference of the Allied pre- j
miers and commanders and myself!
on May 2 by which British shipping !
was to transport ten American divi
sions to the British army area,
where they were to be trained and
equipped, and additional British
shipping was to be provided for as
many divisions as possible for use
elsewhere.
Where Foe Was Measured
"On April 26 the First division
had gone into the line in the Mont- .
didier salient on the Piardy batne;
front. Tactics had been suddenly
revolutionized to those of open war
fare, and our men, confident of the
results of their training, were eager
for the test. .
"On the morning of May 28 tnis
division attacked the commanding I
German position in its front, tak- ,
ing with splendid dash the town of j
Cantigny and all other objectives, ,
which were organized and held j
steadfastly against vicious counter
! attacks and galling artillery fire.
I Although local, this brilliant action |
I had an electrical effect, as it demon-
I strated our fighting qualities under
! extreme battle conditions, and also
i that the enemy's troops were not
! altogether invincible."
i There followed immediately the
German thrust across the Aisne to
ward Paris.
"The Allies," General Pershing
says, "faced a crisis equally as grave
as that of the Picardy offensive in
March. Again every available man
was placed at Marshal Foch's dis
posal. and the Third division, which
had just come from its preliminary
I training in the trenches, was hur
| ried to the Marne. Its motorized
; machine-gun battalion preceded the
other units and successfully held
j the bridgehead at the Marne, oppo
site Chateau Thierry.
"The Second division, in reserve
near 'Montdidier, was sent by motor
trucks and other available transport
I to check the progress of the enemy
toward Paris. The division attack
ed and retook the town and rail
road station at Bouresches and
sturdily held its ground against the
enemy's best guard divisions.
"In the battle of Belleau wood,
which followed, our men proved
their superiority and gained a strong
tactical position, with far greater
loss to the enemy than to ourselves.
On July 1, before the Second was
relieved, it captured the village
of Vaux with most splendid precis
ion.
"Meanwhile our Second corP®- UI V"
der Major General George W. Read,
had been organized for the command
of our divisions with the British,
which were held back in training
areas or assigned to second-l ne de
fenses. Five of the ten dmsions
w4re withdrawn from the Brltlsh
area in June, three to rlev ® '"V?"
slons in Lorraine and the V
and two to the Paris area to Join the
group of American divisions which
stood between the city and any fur
ther advance of the enemy in that
direction."
By that time the great tide of
American troop movements to
France was in full swing, and the
older divisions could be used free
ly. The Forty-second in line east of
Rhelms, fuced the German assault
of Julv 13 and held their ground
unflinchingly"; on the rightJlank
four companies of the Twenty
eighth division faced advancing
waves of German infantry, and the
Third division held the Marne line
opposite Chateau Thierry against
powerful artillery and infantry at
tacks. "A single regiment of the
Third wrote one of the most bril
liant pages In our military annals
on this occasion," General Pershing
says.
"It prevented the crossing at cer
tain points on its front, while, on
either ilank. the Germans, who had
gained a footing, pressed forward.
Our men, tiring in three directions,
met the German attacks with coun
terattacks at critical points and suc
ceeded in throwing two German
divisions into confusion,
capturing 600 prisoners.
Thus was the stage set for the
counterattacks which, beginning
with the smashing of the enentj
Marne salient, brought overwhelm
ing victory to the Allies and the
United States in the eventful months
that have followed. The intimation
is strong that General Fershings
advice helped Marshal * och t0
reach his decision to strike.
The great force of the German
Chateau Thierry offensive established
the deep Marne salient, but the en- j
emy was taking chances, and the I
vulnerability of this pocket to at
tack might be turned to his disad
vantage. Seizing this opportunity to
support my conviction, every division |
with any sort of training was made,
available for use in a counter-of- |
tensive. The place of honor in the <
thrust toward Solssons on July Is (
was given to our First and Second!
divisions in company with chosen
French divisions.
"Without the usual brief warning ;
of a preliminary bombardment, the
massed French and American artil
lerv, firing by the map. laid down!
its rolling barrage at dawn, while
the infantry began its charge. The
tactical -handling of our troops under
these trying conditions was excel
lent throughout the action.
"The enemy brought up large num
bers of reserves and made a stub
! born defense, both with machine guns
and artillery, but through five days'
! fighting the First division continued
i ?o advance until it had gained the
heights above Soissons and captuted
! the village of Brezy-de-sec. The
Second division took Beau Repair©
' farm and Vierzy in a very rapid ad
' vance and reached a position in front
l of Tisny at the end of its second day.
Thee divisions captured 7,000
1 prisoners and over 100 pieces of ar
-1 l ' The report describes in some detail
I the work of completing the reduction
' of the salient, mentioning the opera
! tions of the Twenty-sixth, Third,
I Fourth, Forty-second, Thirty-second
I and Twenty-eighth divisions. With
I the situation on the Marne front thus
relieved. General Pershing writes, he
could turn to the organization of the
i First American army and the reduc
! tion of the St. Mihiel salient, long
| planned as the initial purely Ameri-
I can enterprise.
j "A troop concentration, aidpd by
! generous contributions of artillery
! and air units by the French, began,
j involving the movement, mostly at
night, of 600,000 men. A sector reach
ing from Port sur Seille, east of the
Moselle, westward through St. Mihiel
to Verdun and later enlarged to carry
it to the edge of the forest of Ar
gonnc, was taken over, the Second
colonial French holding the tip of
the salient opposite St. Mihiel; and
the French Seventeenth corps, on the
heights above Verdun, being trans
ferred to General Pershing's com
mand.
The combined French. British and
American air forces mobilised for the
battle, the report says, was the larg
est aviation assembly ever engaged
on the western front up to that time
in a single operation.
Of the reduction of the St. Mihiel
salient. General Pershing says:
How St. Mihiel Was Taken
"After four hours' artillery prep
aration the seven American divisions
In the front line advanced at 6 a. m.,
on September 12, assisted by a lim
ited number of tanks, manned partly
by Americans and partly by the
French. Those divisions, accompanied
by groups of wire cutters and others
armed with bangalore torpedoes, went
1 through the successive bands of
ibarbed wire that. protected the en
emy's front line and support trenches
in Irresistible waves on schedule
time, breaking down all defense aft
an enemy demoralized by the great
volume of our artillry fire and our
sudden approach out of the fog.
1 "Our First corps advanced to Thiau
court, while our Fourth corps curved
back to the southwest through Non
sard. The Second colonial French
corps made the slight Advance re
quired of It on very difficult ground,
and the Fifth corps took Its three
ridges and repulsed a counterattack.
A rapid march brought reserve regi
ments of a division of the Fifth corps
into Vigneulles In the early morning,
where It linked up with patrols of
Our Fourth corps' closing the salient
and forming a new line west of
Thlaucourt in Vlgnaulles and beyond
Fresnes-en-Woevre.
"At the cost of only 7,000 casu
alties. mostly light, we had taken
16,000 prisoners and 443 guns, a great
quantity of material, released the
inhabitants Of many villages from
enemy domination and established

"This signal success of the Amerl- .
can First army In Its first offensive j
was of prime Importance. The Allies
found they had a formidable army to
aid them, and the enemy learned that j
he had one to reckon with."
The report shows for the first time
officially that with this brilliantly
executed coup General Pershing's men
had cleared the way for the great ef
fort of the Allied and Amfttcan forces
to win a conclusive victory. The I
American army moved at once to- I
ward its crowning achievement, the i
battle of the Meuse.
The general tells a dramatic story j
of this mighty battle in three distinct
phases, beginning on the night of
September 27, when Americans quick
ly took the places of the French on
the thinly held line of this long.qulet
sector. The attack opened on Sep
tember 26 and the Americans drove
through entanglements, across No j
Man's Land to take all the enemy s
first-line positions. Closing the
chapter. General Pershing sayz:
"On November 6 a division of the
first corps reached a point on the
Meuse opposite Sedan, twenty-five
miles from our line of departure. The
strategical goal, which was our high
est hope, was gained. We bad '.ut the (
enemy's main line of communication,
and nothing but surrender or an
armistice could save his army from!
complete disaster.
•"In all forty divisions had been'
used against us in the Meuae-Argonne t
battle. Between September 26 and No-,
vember 6 we took 26.059 prisoners and
468 guns on this front. Our divisions
engaged were the First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Twenty-sixth. Twenty
eighth, Twenty-ninth, Thirty-second,
Thirty-third. Thirty-fifth, Thirty-sev
enth, Forty-second, Seventy-seventh,
Seventy-eighth, Seventy-ninth, Kight-
Utli Eighty-second. Eighty-ninth,
Ninetieth and Ninety-first. Many of
our divisions remained In line for a
length of time that required nerves
of steel. whUe others word sent in
again after only a few days of rest.
The First. Fifth. Twenty-sixth, Forty
second, Seventy-seventh, Eightieth,
Eighty-ninth and Ninetieth were in
the line twice. Although sonic of the
divisions were fighting tho } r " j
t-attle they soon became equal to tne
best. * .
The commander-in-chief does not
lose sight of the divisions operating
with French or British armies during
this time. He tells of the work of
the Second corps, comprising the
lons in the British assault on the
Hindenburg line, where the St. Quen
tin canal passes through a tunnel; cf
how the Second and Thirty-sixth di
visions got their chance in October
by being assigned to aid the French
in the drive from Rhoims and of the
splendid fighting of the Thirty-sev
enth and Ninety-first divisions sent
to join the French army In Bel
glum. * #
Of the total strength of the expe
ditionary force, re
ports:
"There are in Europe altogether In
cluding a regiment and some tanltary (
units with the Italian army and thej
organizations at Murmansk, also in-,
eluding those en route from the states. |
approximately 2.053.347 men. less our!
losses. Of this total there are In I
France 1.338,169 combatant troops. |
; Forty divisions have arrived, of which
I the infantry personnel of ten have
iteen used as replacements, leaving
thirty divisions now in France or
ganized in three armies of three
corps each."
Of their equipment he says:
Army Lacked In Material
"Our entry into the war found us
with few of the auxiliaries necessary
for its conduct in the modern sense.
Among our most important defici
encies in material were artillery, avi
ation and tanks.
"In order to meet our. requirements
as rapidly as possible we accepted
the offer of the French government
to provide us with the necessary ar
tillery equipment of 755, 155 mm.
howitzers and 155 G. P. F. guns from
their own factories for thirty di
visions. . . "
"The wisdom of this course is fully
demonstrated by the fact that, al
though we soon began the manufac
ture of these classes of guns at home,
there were no guns of the calibers
mentioned manufactured in America
on our front at the date the armis
tice was signed.
"The only guns of these types pro
duced at home thus far received In
I-'rance are 109 75-mm. guns.
"In the aviation we were in the
same situation, and here again the
French government came to our aid
until our own aviation program
should be under way. We obtained
from the French the necessary planes
for training our personnel, and they
havf provided us with a total of 2,-
6T6 pursuit, obesrvatton and bomb
ing planes.
"The first airplanes received from
home arrived in May. and altogether
we have received 1.379. The first
American squadron completely equip
ped by American production, Includ
ing airplanes, crossed the German
lines on August 7. 1918. As to tanks,
we were also compelled to rely upon
the French. Here, however, we were
less fortunate, for the reason that
the French production could barely
meet the requirements of their own
armies.
"It should be fully realized that the
French government has always taken
a most liberal atti'tuA and has been
the most anxious to give us every
possible assistance in meeting our
deficiencies in these as wall as in
other respects.
"Our dependence upon France for
artillery, aviation and tanks was, cf
course, duS to the fact that our in
dustries had not been exclusively de
voted to military production. All
credit is due our own manufactiiurers
for their efforts to meet our require
ments, as at the time the armistice
was signed we were able to look for
ward to the early supply of prac
tically all our necessities from our
own factories."

The Giant Kelp Plants, Stretching !'
Their Ribbony Forms From the Sea j
Bottom, Offered (he Precious Chem-! i
ical Curiously Collected From the! i
Water by Its Cells. f i'
There is, a very Interesting story In ; j
the utilization of the bedp of giant j,
kelp on the California coast for the; I
production of potash to nmko us for-! 1
ever independent of the potash deposits j
of Germany, the possession of which I
was one of her advantages over other! i
nations when she started the war. '
The kelp is now being systematic
ally reaped on the Pacific coast, with
aquatic harvesting machines, which i
are barges carrying cutting apparatus,
similar in mechanical principle to
grain-reapers, but operating at a
depth of from two to four feet
beneath the surface of the water.
During the past year, the journal
of the California Fish and Game
Commission reports, nearly 400,000
tons of kelp were cut and treated
•the extraction of potash the amount
of the latter obtained averaging one I
and a half per cent, per ton, which!
makes G.OOO tons. In additiou, con- j
siderable quantities of iodine, nitro
! gen, and other by-products are oh- i
j tained. It Is a new Industry and :
various methods are being invented
land upplied In its development.
I The war forced It, and in so doing'
has bestowed an unintended benefit j
upon the world at large, besides add-!
ing another to America's indojH'ndent ]
resources. Several years before the
war the Department of Agriculture
had awakened to the value of Call-,
fornia kelp as a source of potash, but
it was not until the war-mad German
Kaiser bottled up his country's mer-;
chant fleets, and cut the ground from
,beneath the home industries which!
were as favoring winds blowing those
fleets into all the world's parts, that
Mother Necessity called loudly for:
potash and the Golden State re-!
sponded by unlocking another of her
hidden treasures.
The species of kelp that most;
abounds on the California coast Is the
Macrocystis pyrfera, or "ribbon-kelp,"
whose stems are often a hundred feet
1 or more in length, stretching up from
the rocky ledges or scattered rocks of
the shallow waters off snore, and;
spreading into floating beds of leaves 1
at the surface.
The long stems do not branch, but!
starting from a "holdfast" at the J
bottom, make their way to the top of j
the water, giving off a few lamina, or j
leaves, at comparatively long inter-1
vals, until the surface Is approached, j
when the leaves become relatively j
abundant' The "harvesters" sweep
over the beds with the reaping knives,
cutting off the plants a yard or more
I below the surface.
As often happens through the com
mercial or industrial development of
newly utilized products of nature, the
harvesting of kelp for the sake of
the potash which it extracts from the
sea is leading to a more careful
scientific study of habits and peculi
arities of the plant.
Mr. Edward Porteous, who has
devoted three years to this study, says
that after a harvester has cut a bed
clean to the depth of four or five feet
the old kelp may be seen standing in
an upright position with its growing
ends cut off, looking not unlike a
poplar tree. This gradually disiute

entirely disappeared from view It Is
hidden b.v the fresh shoots coming up
from the boitom. It takes from 170
to 180 days for the kelp to grow from
the "holdfast" to the surface. The
best growing periods are from July to
September, and from January to
April.
The ability of the cells of this plant
to absorb dissolved potash front the
sea water Is a remarkable example
of selective action, exercised as for a
special purpose. Thus Mr. Porteous
points out that while the water sur
rounding the kelp contains In solu
tion three per cent, of chloride of
sodium, 1. e., common salt, and only
four one-hundredths of one per cent,
of potash, yet inside the cell these
proportions are so altered by ad
mitting potash and rejecting sodium
that the percentage of the former has
increased to one and eight one
hundredths, while that of the latter
has decerased to only six-tenths of
one per cent.
A similar selection is shown in
favor of lodine, for although the sea
water contains so little of that sub
stance In solution that there is only
one part of iodine in thirty million
parts of water, yet the kelp cells
manage to absorbe three one-hundred
ths of one per cent, of their weight of
iodine.

ive power of absorption possessed by
these cells Is showu by the fact,
stated by Mr. Porteous, that while It
takes a ton of sea water to supply a
single grain of gold, green kelp has
been known to absorb from the water
20 cents' worth of gold for eve.ry ton
of kelp. For some reason it has no
