COUNTY i I EDITOR'S FOREWORD FOR nearly three years the United States of America suffered gross injustices through the trickery and hypocrisy of the Imperial German government, and yet had upheld its strict neutrality. But, when the German government inaugurated her policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, conditions became so unbearable that America, a peace and liberty loving nation, was compelled to take action to protect herself. On April 6th, 1917, news that Congress had declared that a state of war existed between the United States and Germany was flashed to Otter Tail County and to the world. Immediately the fighting blood of America's one hundred mil- lion rose to a raging fire of determination. Patriotism was kindled in every sec- tion of the country as overnight, and the United States became a sober work-shop, her citizens gravely determined that every ounce of her energy should be used to crush the biggest foe to democracy and mankind that had ever existed on the face of the earth. To raise an army of several millions and to send it three thousand miles across the sea; to clothe and to feed and to furnish munitions of war to an army of such huge proportions on active duty across the broad Atlantic, was no small task. Critics in this country as well as abroad, predicted failure on the part of oui democratic form of government to successfully manage the gigantic undertaking which lay before it. While the Hohenzollerns, the Junker War Lords of Germany were jokingly referring to our declaration of war as a "bluff" and belittling the "lightning-trained" soldiery of this country, America was earnestly laying her foun- dations, massing up her huge resources of men, of money and of food, preparatory to her accomplishing the greatest feat in military history. That imperious and domineering autocrat of Germany who has lived to regret his words: "I will take no more nonsense from America," had serenely overslept and woke to find that the "lightning-trained" had, indeed, struck like a bolt from the sky. Just as the colonies at the time of the Revolutionary War had been aroused by Paul Revere in his perilous midnight ride, so America was awakened to the respon- sibilities of the world that lay before her. Thousands of sturdy, red-blooded young men responded to the nation's call, forming an endless stream to the training camps, across the sea and to the active battlefronts. Yes, America was awake to the situa- tion. She realized that this was "a people's war, a war for freedom and justice and self-government amongst all the nations of the world, a war to make the world safe for the peoples who live upon it, and have made it their own, the German people themselves included." With the united co-operation and steadfast loyalty of everyone this huge task progressed with marvelous rapidity, despite the serious handicaps that were en- countered on every side. When finally America and the Allies stemmed the tide of the Teutonic invasion and the Central Powers yielded and signed the Armistice on November 11th, 1918, the American Army numbered more than two million men — two million of the gamiest, snappiest fighting men that had ever stepped on any field of battle. And long will the deeds of valor come to our memory and dim our eyes when we think of that heroic handful of United States soldiers that iiL>^^.>^s.>^«i. >^=^>s^^^^aB.^^.>^g..^g. .:^«5.^^<.^g^Br^>^^-:^^<'^ g<'Sg"^^' i 1(1 T^&^S ^^O'^^^^ TA.IL couKrmrJ S^^^ p the records or pictures of Otter Tail County patriots who should have been given credit for their efforts, it is with the most profound sincerity that we apologize. The Publishers have advertised in every newspaper in the County, have sent out personal letters, have, in fact, done everything possible in their endeavor to make this work complete and authentic. If the magnitude of the undertaking be taken into consideration, then it is believed that criticism will be kept down to a minimum. Beautiful has been our triumph. Dominated by liberty ingrained into the soul of the nation from its birth, our brilliant soldiers have vanquished autocracy. The men of our Navy have swept the seas of that modern pirate. The horrors of war have been made less terrible through the agency of that Christian organization— the Red Cross. Industry's wheels have been whole-heartedly remoulded that vic- tory might be ours. The time honored fields have produced life-giving foods for victory. And most beautiful of all has been the patient spirit of self-sacrifice with which our women have shouldered their burden. In this jjook we have endeavored to commemorate the sacrifices and achievements of all who so manfully answered the call of the nation. Peace is ours.

J. Campbell, Parkers Prairie C. W. Sherin, Pelican Rapids A. D. Baker, Deer Creek K. C. Hanson, Battle Lake H. C. Hanson, New York Mills R. R. Patterson, Henning M. J. Daly, Perham E. A. Solem, Chairman of Publicity R. E. Seaton, Chairman of Speakers' Bureau TTER TAIL COUNTY'S loyal support of the government throughout the war was evidenced in all the circumstances that arose during those troublous times, ■-' whether at home, in the training camps or on the battlefronts of Europe. The |j spirit that actuated the "home firing line" was especially manifested in the splendid jl and generous support this county showed in all the undertakings having to do with ^* the financing of the great war. This county's response to the government's call for money in the five Liberty Loan bond issues was whole-hearted and generous, each of the five loans being over-subscribed. To the last there was no abatement in the zeal for the welfare of the country, the fifth or Victory Loan being over- subscribed by $76,500. jfjfil The splendid financial achievements of Otter Tail County in the war were due lIlHI in a large measure to the thorough organization of the county from the start, under !ej|| the able direction of Elmer E. Adams, Chairman. Mr. Adams' business acumen ![l|l and wide experience in public affairs enabled him, with the assistance of his i|[6|| executive committee, to quickly rally every village and township to put their best I I'll into the work. The local work was loyally supported by the village and township I | committees, and the zealous work of these committees and the support of the people jll'JI at large, resulted in the fine showing made in this phase of war work. ' ' The general organization was the same for all the five Loan drives with a few exceptions. In the Victory Loan drive, George W, Frankberg carried the work ; : ml through, owing to the absence of Mr. Adams, who was attending to his legislative iijijm lij'f duties at St. Paul at the time of this drive. Mr. Frankberg pushed the work with I ! his customary vigor and had the satisfaction of seeing the Victory Loan go "over the top" with a wide margin. lljjj It is regrettable that space forbids a mention of the individual members of the [V(fj Liberty Loan organization, who so willingly put aside their business and home in- terests, to devote themselves so generously to the country's good. As "the end crowns the work," so here the result they achieved must be their greatest reward. Their names will long live in the memory of a grateful people, as those called to a noble service, and whose effective work added new laurels to the fair name of Otter Tail County.

Adams, Vice-chairman Robert Hannah, Secretary E. A. Jewett, Treasurer EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE D. A. Tennant, Chairman Robert Hannah Fred E. Hodgson E. A. Jewett W. J. Breen J. H. Beise C. R. Wright THE Otter Tail County Chapter of the American Red Cross was organized July 23rd, 1917, at Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and as speedily as possible, branches and auxiliaries were established throughout the county. The undertaking was a big one, owing to the size of the county, but the executive committee was loyally supported by the local committees and individuals in all parts of the territory to be covered, so that in a comparatively short time an effective organization, reaching practically every township and village in the county had been perfected. The chapter then consisted of 63 branches and auxiliaries, with a meiribership of about 7,700. This splendid organization carried out the work for which it was brought into being, with enthusiasm and real understanding of the needs of the case. The firstj drive to raise funds took place during the week of June 18th to 25th, 1917, just previous to the organization of the Chapter, and while no accurate record was kept, nearly $14,000 was raised throughout the county. The drive was under the capable direction of Fred E. Hodgson, Local Chairman, and effective work was done in all parts of the county by the local committees and people at large, who responded willingly to the call made upon them. The second drive in May, 1918, under the direction of R. J. Angus, County Chairman, made even a better showing than the first. Mr. Angus devoted his entire time to make the drive a success, laying aside his business duties for the work that was at hand. Under his able management the drive resulted in raising a fund of $60,960.35, a fine tribute to the effective publicity work that had been done during the first year of the society's work. After its organization, the society quickly assumed its duties and responsibilities. Knitting circles were organized to provide for the comfort of the boys in the service; classes in surgical dressing and sewing worked faithfully to keep the hospitals supplied with that which was needed; nurses were enlisted and sent into service; comfort-kits were provided for the soldiers as they left for camp; and in many other ways the Society lived up to its aim of usefulness and service. >^:s^<>^^^g^^^g^^^^::^^.>:^ ^-a E ^-«a^^.-5^^ OTTEMTAII^ COUMrV^ w Mrs. A. B. Cole had charge of the Surgical Dressing work and under her direction the work went forward with great success. The Sewing Department under the direction of Mrs. Elmer E. Adams and Mrs. F. J. Evans also made an enviable record. The Home Service Department, which Miss Gertrude E. Tennant had charge of, did an important work during the war, and it is being continued at the present time. There are 63 branches under Miss Tennant's direction, and to her fell the large share of the enormous work laid out for this department. Its duties were to keep a census of Otter Tail County's 2,000 soldiers, their relatives and addresses; to furnish information to parents and assist in keeping the lines of communication open between the homes and its representatives in the service; to give information and help as to soldiers' allotments, bonuses, travel pay, etc., as occasions demanded. Miss Tennant and her co-workers who have been responsible for its succcess in Otter Tail County have worked hard, and are continuing to do so, now when the glamor of war has more or less dulled the interest of others. Robert Hannah, Secretary of the Otter Tail County Chapter, had active manage- ment of all the departments and branches of the Red Cross. Mr. Hannah's time was continually occupied in Red Cross work during the whole period of the war, and the efficient manner in which the affairs of the society were administered was largely due to his efforts.

M. C. A. DRIVE IN the raising of funds for all philanthropic and patriotic purposes during the war this county showed an open-heartedness and generosity that places it on a level with the best in the State. This fine spirit was revealed time and again on the occasions of the different drives made necessary to properly care for our large army. The Y. M. C. A. drive in December, 1917, is but one of the many examples. It was conducted under the direction of R. J. Angus, County Chairman, whose experience and executive ability made him a singularly happy choice for the posi- tion. The drive took place before a township organization had been perfected, and was therefore conducted from the village centers, each village looking after the country surrounding it. In this way a total of $19,721.02 was raised in a creditably short time. Of this amount the sum of $350.00 was devoted to the War Camp Community Service Fund as it was not thought advisable to make a separate drive for this fund at this time. Detailed Result of Y. M. C.

This drive was also conducted by R. J. Angus, the County Chairman, ably supported by a fine body of loyal workers in all parts of the county. The magnificent total of $71,665.10 was raised, every section of the county responding handsomely. The solicitors deserve much credit for the thorough work done in their respective territories, work, in many instances, done at the sacrifice of personal inclination, business and home interests.

HENNING, MINN. J. S. Billings, Chairman H. H. Wheeler, Chairman William Lincoln, Clerk 0. M. Johnson, Clerk Dr. a. C. Baker, Physician Dr. A. J. Lewis, Physician THE local draft boards provided for by the Selective Service Law of May 18th, 1917, held a most responsible and important position. Upon them rested the duty of registering the county's man-power, classifying the registrants, passing upon exemption claims and of so directing the assignment of men to service as should provide the army needed by the government, and at the same time keep industry and labor conditions at home in a stable and productive condition. This was a work that required much deliberation and sound judgment, as well as much tedious routine work. That this work was done with so little friction and criticism is a fine testimonial to their integrity and faithful service. To facilitate the work in so large a county as Otter Tail, it was divided into two sections; the Western Division with the local draft board at Fergus Falls and the Eastern Division having its draft board at Henning and working under the direction of the county seat board. It is to these six men, who made up the two draft boards, principally that credit should be given for the successful operation of the Selective Service Law in Otter Tail County, the most equitable system of mobilizing an army yet known to the world. Many times during the war, measures were advocated and discussed to remunerate the draft board members for their labors. Commissions were to be given them at one time, and salaries at another, but thus far they have not received anything. They did not want anything and were glad and willing to do their work for their country's sake. lil^Jll OTTEn TAIL. COUNTY % i! i I i i ii pi! 1,4 1^!!'

Rosser, /Vew ForA; MiZ/s THE Otter Tail County Public Safety Commission was organized in May, 1917, under direction of Governor Burnquist and the State Public Safety Commission and served to the end of the war. The Commission had general oversight of all matters affecting the peace of the county and its attitude towards the effective carry- ing on of the war. Under its direction, sedition and doubtful forces were kept down, patriotism and co-operation was encouraged that brought up to a maximum the county's support of the various activities. The Commission as a whole and the members individually are worthy of the grateful acknowledgments of the public for service so faithfully and tactfully rendered. OTTER TAIL COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATION A^ XT is difficult to over-estimate the importance of the hard work done by the Food I'Uj; X Administration, both as a national and local organization. To stimulate pro- duction, eliminate waste, regulate distribution, and to attend to the thousand and one details that were involved in the proper handling of the duties of the Food Administrator required tact and business ability of a high order. Otter Tail County was fortunate in having for its Food Administrator so capable a woman as Mrs. Charles Rolla Wright, who served in 1917 and 1918, and or- ganized the work throughout the county and kept in close touch with the situation at all times. Mrs. Wright was a tireless worker and sacrificed herself willingly for the welfare of her country, giving freely in the public service, her time and energies and best thought, in the work that was under her direction.

BATTERY "E," SECOND MINNESOTA FIELD ARTILLERY THE conflicting circumstances of the history, organization and final disbandment of Battery "E," Second Minnesota Field Artillery, whose career was so checkered during the war, is very familiar to the present generation of Otter Tail County. An attempt to explain the situation to posterity would obviously be futile. Hence only a general resume of the affair, without the disheartening detail, will be given. Acting under provisions of the Act of June 3rd, 1916, the President of the y^'^A United States prescribed, through the Militia Bureau, on May 5th, 1917, that a ii||li second regiment of Field Artillery be recruited in the National Guard forces of ! I||| Minnesota. Complying with this order, the state of Minnesota accordingly recruited ji^^^ and mustered into state service the regiment in July, 1917. The Otter Tail County ijl Battery, which was sworn into the state service on July 24th, 1917, was one imit |||l in the organization of this regiment, which was also composed of Batteries at Albert |i|| Lea, Waseca, St. James, Marshall and Moorhead, Minnesota. i l| Otter Tail County's unfortunate part in this military tangle, which finally ended '0}\ in the regiment's abandonment on April 30th, 1918, began on July 7th, 1917, when ||yi Colonel W. J. Murphy, regimental commander, spoke before a representative num- '*{M ber of Fergus Falls men at the Court House. He outlined the regiment and advised iiii>yi them that Fergus Falls had been chosen to recruit one of the six batteries needed htfijl for the regiment. The Colonel pointed out the advantages of a battery composed j ||j| entirely of home men and explained the added "esprit de corps" which always WM comes from a purely local organization. '||j| A committee of fifteen men was named, which included Dr. A. B. Cole, D. A. i|||l Tennant, F. E. Hodgson, Leonard Eriksson, Robert Hannah, F. J. Evans, C. W. 1 |?| Kaddatz, G. W. Frankberg, W. H. McBride, H. K. Grinager, N. F. Field, John fi Lauritzen, J. W. Mason, 0. M. Haugan and W. J. Breen, to go over the situation and j ll see if the required number of men could be recruited for this Battery. Within four j M days the work of enlisting members was well under way, 124 men agreeing to join. j ||| Widespread interest was shown and great eagerness was manifested among the young j ||i men of the county to join this new organization which wa ssoon to be mustered | ^jj into Federal service and sent into active fighting. The Battery was finally mustered in on July 24th, 125 men taking the oath, the ball park at Fergus Falls being the muster-in grounds. Rev. E. T. Ferry, pastor of the Federated church for a number of years, was chosen as Captain and he re- ceived his commission from Governor Bumquist on August 10th. After the Battery had progressed this far in its organization, popular opinion was certain of an early call by the Federal government, into active service. The order to entrain for camp was expected- weekly, and Captain Ferry, his subordinate '0 officers and men were enthusiastic in their preliminary training at home. Elementary |i;i;]| drill, Field Artillery Drill Regulations, the care and training of horses, the com- ll|l putation of firing data, topography and map making, fire discipline, army communi- i!'|-! cation, reconnaissance and a score of other subjects with which every Field Artil- !![b] leryman must be thoroughly familiar, were diligently studied by the men insofar { ||| li ^^ sd^ k OTTER TAIL, COUNTvT^^^^,^ ^ i i as their limited equipment would permit. Everyone amongst the ranks of Battery "E" took a keen interest, and strong anxiety was shown to move off to a training camp, in preparation for the journey to France. Lieut.-Col. George T. Gorham conducted officers' school two days and three nights a week from September, 1917, to the end of April, 1918. The Battery membership was increased soon to 170 members and the progress of the organization was watched with keen interest by every citizen. Preparations were being made for the Battery to be mustered into Federal service and Capt. W. S. Cook of the 41st Infantry gave Federal inspection on September 5th, but no definite date was set when the Battery to be mustered into Federal service. From this time on the legal status of the organization and its enlisted personnel, insofar as |] they were to be affected by the Selective Service Law, was a constant source of I discouragement to its members, all of whom were anxious to get into active serv- ice. On October 17th, however. Battery "E" was officially recognized by the Federal government, a telegram to this effect being received at headquarters here from Col. Murphy at Washington, and that a call would be made as soon as equipment would be available. After much eloquent interpretation of the various Federal Statutes and War Department regulations affecting the organization by the Secretary of War and by the Judge Advocate General, in which no appreciable light was thrown on the subject for the members, the Governor succeeded in putting in a request to the Secretary of War that the unit be drafted as a battery at an early date, thus pre- serving the organization as a unit. The personnel of the battery, then, would have ,i ,, been exempt from the operation of the draft law. The Secretary's authority for ||||! such action was revealed after a delegation of prominent and influential citizens of I the cities in which batteries were located, called upon the Secretary of War, the Judge Advocate General and the Chief of Militia at Washington, D. C. At the time of this visit the controversy was boiled down to two hypotheses: First, that the Second Minnesota Field Artillery, being in official existence at the time of the President's Proclamation calling National Guard organizations into Feder- al Service on August 5th, 1917, was therefore already in the service of the govern- ment and merely awaiting mobilization orders; or, that the organization, not having been recognized by the War Department at the time of the President's call, was not included in that call to Federal Service and therefore could only be called again through another Proclamation of the President. These were the two mooted questions, the solution of which never seems to have been clearly presented to the public that recruited and supported units of this organization. The members of Battery "E" were all anxious to get into active service, and they had, for over six months, been in continual doubt as to the final outcome and on February 26th they petitioned the Governor to urge that they be called into active service without further delay. The draft of February 24th included many members of Battery "E" and it was decided that they were not subject to this draft on this date. The Battery situation now came to a climax: whether to be called or disband. On March 1st an order wa;s issued that all battery members who were subject to the February draft should be in readiness to leave for camp the following Saturday. Twenty-six men, members of the local battery left on March 2nd for camp, being in the selective draft of February 24th. Even after this time it was hoped that the organization as a unit would be called SI I 111 IM THK V^On.L.D WA.U. and drafting of members again was stopped although a number of members had been drafted during February. When a reasonable time had elapsed and the Secretary of War had still refused to issue an order calling the unit into service, authority was asked to disband the regiment, which was granted. The Second Minnesota Field Artillery was formally disbanded April 30th, 1918, and its mem- bers who had been tied down for so long a time were given the long-looked for opportunity to enter active service. Those Otter Tail County patriots who were the victims of circumstance through their earnest and loyal association with Battery "E," are entitled to more than usual credit for patriotism. The men who enlisted and those who were instrumental in its organization as an Otter Tail unit, worked hard and untiringly in an effort to get into service. Captain Ferry himself gave all his time and effort to the work of preparation for actual field duty, with no remuneration, as did other officers of the battery, many of whom resigned good positions in the hope of serving their country in active duty. The personnel of the Otter Tail Battery were placed in a very embarrassing posi- tion during the long time of association with it. They were in the service technically and yet they wore civilian clothes. All were anxious to get into the trenches but all were helpless to do so. For this reason all the members of the Battery are entitled and have received more than ordinary credit for their forbearance during the many trying days of our Battery, and for their devotion during all the dis- couraging controversies which at last ended so disastrously for all concerned. And may due credit be given those two men, Andrew Wenino and Joseph A. Elliott of Fergus Falls, who died several months before the final outcome was known, and who had been so eager in their patriotic desire to serve the country in which they were bom and were unable to do so, before they were called to rest. Readers of this Memorial in looking over this roster of the county's soldiers, will do well to observe one thing; that is, that the boys whose names appear on the list of Battery "E" deserve a credit which is not given them in their service records. They naturally did not enter the service as early as some of the others, if actual service be taken as an indication. But it was through no fault of theirs. All of these boys enlisted voluntarily in Battery "E" early in 1917, thinking that they would serve with a local organization at an early date. They were disappointed and discouraged many times, and are deserving of just that much more credit for their association with Battery "E," Second Minnesota Field Artillery, a temporary state military force that existed for a time during 1918 in the State of Minnesota. m Roster: Rev.

Regular drills were maintained and a great amount of enthusiasm was shown on the part of its members and the citizens of Fergus Falls. On November 10th, 1918, this Home Guard organization was changed into a Nationail Guard unit and on January 17th, 1919, it was mustered into Federal service. At the present time there are 123 members and officers, all of whom are residents of Fergus Falls and the immediate vicinity. Drills are held weekly at the High School Gymnasium in this city and under the able direction of Captain Lowe and his officers a great showing has been made in the development of this organization.

Pershing on Nov. 20, 1918, to Secretary of War Baker is a document of great historical importance, and hence is reproduced in full. It gives the first comprehen- sive outline of the work of the American soldiers in France at the most critical period of the war, and makes public many details withheld by the censorship from general knowledge. "Nov. 20, 1918.— My Dear Mr. Secretary: In response to your request, I have the honor to sub- mit this brief summary of the organization and operations of the American expeditionary forces from May 26, 1917, until the signing of the armis- tice, Nov. 11, 1918: "Pursuant to your instructions, immediately up- on receiving my orders I selected a small staff and proceeded to Europe in order to become familiar with conditions at the earliest possible moment. The warmth of our reception in England and France was only equaled by the readiness of the commanders in chief of the veteran armies of the allies and their staffs to place their experience at our disposal. In consultation with them the most effective means of co-operation of effort was con- sidered. With French and British armies at their maximum strength, and all efforts to dispossess the enemy from the firmly entrenched positions in Bel- gium and France failed, it was necessary to plan for an American force adequate to turn the scale in favor of the allies. Taking account of the strength of the central powers at that time, the immensity of the problem which confronted us could hardly be overestimated. The first requisite being an organization that could give intelligent direction to effect the formation of a general staff occupied my early attention. General Staff "A well organized general staff throug'h which the commander exercises his functions is essential to a successful modern army. However capable our divisions, our battalions and our companies as such, success would be impossible without thor- oughly co-ordinated endeavor. A general staff broadly organized and trained for war had not hitherto existed in our army. Under the commander in chief, this staff must carry out the policy and direct the details of administration, supply, prep- aration and operations of the army as a whole, with all special branches and bureaus subject to its control. As models to aid us we had the vet- eran French general staff and the experience of the British, who had similarly formed an organiza- tion to meet the demands of a great army. By selecting from each the features best adapted to our basic organization, and fortified by our own early experience in the war, the development of our great general staff system was completed. "The general staff is naturally divided into five groups, each with its chief, who is an assistant to the chief of the general staff. G. 1 is in charge of organization and equipment of troops, replace- ments, tonnage, priority of overseas shipments, the auxiliary welfare association and cognate subjects; G. 2 has censorship, enemy intelligence, gathering and disseminating information, preparation of maps and all similar subjects; G. 3 is charged with all strategic studies and plans, movements of troops and the supervision of combat operations; G. 4 co- ordinates important questions of supply, construc- tion, transport arrangements for combat, and of the operations of the service of supply, and of hospitalization and the evacuation of the sick and wounded; G. 5 supervises the various schools and has general direction and co-ordination of educa- tion and training. "The first chief of staff was Col. (now Maj. Gen.) Ja:mes G. Harbord, Who was succeeded in March, 1918, by Maj. -Gen. James W. McAndrew. To these ofiScers, to the deputy chief of staff, and to the assistant chiefs of staff, who, as heads of sec- tion, aided them, great credit is due for the results obtained not only in perfecting the general staff organization but in applying correct principles to the multiplicity of problems that have arisen. Organization and Training "After a thorough consideration of allied or- ganizations it was decided that our combat division should consist of four regiments of infantry of 3,000 men, with three battalions to a regiment and four companies of 250 men each to a battalion, and of an artillery brigade of three regiments, a machine gun battalion, an engineer regiment, a REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES trench mortar battery, a signal battalion, wagon trains, and the headquarters staffs and military police. These, with medical and other units, made a total of over 28,000 men, or practically double the size of a French or German division. Each corps would normally consist of six divisions — four combat and one depot and one replacement division — and also two regiments of cavalry, and each army of from three to five corps. With four divisions fully trained, a corps could take over an American sector with two divisions in line and two in reserve, with the depot and replacement divisions prepared to fill the gaps in the ranks. "Our purpose was to prepare an integral Amer- ican force which should be able to take the of- fensive in every respect. Accordingly, the develop- ment of a self-reliant infantry by thorough drill in the use of the rifle and in the tactics of open warfare was always uppermost. The plan of train- ing after arrival in France allowed a division one month for acclimatization and instruction in small units from battalions down, a second month in quiet trench sectors by battalion, and a third month after it came out of the trenches when it should be trained as a complete division in war of movement. "Very early a system of schools was outlined and started which should have the advantage of instruction by officers direct from the front. At the great school center at Langres, one of the first to be organized, was the staff school, where the principles of general staff work as laid down in our own organization were taught to carefully se- lected officers. Men in the ranks who had shown qualities of leadership were sent to the school of candidates for commissions. A school of the line taught younger officers the principles of leadership, tactics and the use of the different weapons. In the artillery school, at Saumur, young offixiers were taught the fundamental principles of modern ar- tillery; while at Issoudun an immense plant was built for training cadets in aviation. These and other schools, with their well considered curricu- lums for training in every branch of our organiza- tion, were co-ordinated in a manner best to develop an efficient army out of willing and industrious young men, many of whom had not before known even the rudiments of military technique. Both Marshall Haig and Gen. Petain placed officers and men at our disposal for instructional purposes, and we are deeply indebted for the opportunities given to profit by their veteran experience. American Zone "The eventual place the American army should take on the western front was to a large extent in- fluenced by the vital questions of communication and supply. The northern ports of France were crowded by the British armies' shipping and sup- plies, while the southern ports, though otherwise at our service, had not adequate port facilities for our purposes, and these we should have to build. The already overtaxed railway system behind the active front in Northern France would not be avail- able for us as lines of supply and those leading from the southern ports of northeastern France would be unequal to our needs without much new construction. Practically all warehouses, supply depots and regulating stations must be provided by fresh constructions. While France offered us such material as she had to spare after a drain of three years, enormous quantities of material had to be brought across the Atlantic. "With such a problem any temporization or lack of definiteness in making plans might cause failure even with victory within our grasp. More- over, broad plans commensurate with our national purpose and resources would bring conviction of our power to every soldier in the front line, to the nations associated with us in the war, and to the enemy. The tonnage for material for necessary construction for the supply of an army of three and perhaps four million men would require a mammoth program of shipbuilding at home, and miles of dock construction in France, with a cor- respondingly large project for additional railways and for storage depots. "All these considerations led to the inevitable conclusion that if we were to handle and supply the great forces deemed essential to win the war we must utilize the southern ports of France — Bor- deaux, La Pallice, St. Nazaire and Brest — and the comparatively unused railway systems leading therefrom to the northeast. Generally speaking, then, this would contemplate the use of our forces against the enemy somewhere in that direction, but the great depots of supply must be centrally lo- cated, preferably in the area included by Tours, Bourges and Chateauroux, so that our armies could be supplied with equal fa:cility wherever they might be serving on the western front. Growth of the Service of Supply "To build up such a system there were talented men in the regular army, but more experts were necessary than the army could furnish. Thanks to the patriotic spirit of our people at home, there came from civil life men trained for every sort of work involved in building and managing the organization necessary to handle and transport such an army and keep it supplied. With such REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES assistance the construction and general development of our plans have kept pace with the growth of the forces, and the service of supply is now able to discharge from ships and move 45,000 tons daily, besides transporting troops and material in the conduct of active operations. "As to organization, all the administrative and supply services, except the adjutant-general's, in- spector-general's and judge-advocate general's de- partments which remain at general headquarters, have been transferred to the headquarters of the services of supplies at Tours under a com- manding general responsible to the commander in chief for supply of the armies. The chief quarter- master, chief surgeon, chief signal officer, chief of ordnance, chief of air service, chief of chemical warfare, the general purchasing agent in all that pertains to questions of procurement and supply, the provost marshall general in maintenance of order in general, the director general of transpor- tation in all that affects such matters, and the chief engineer in all matters of administration and sup- ply, are subordinate to the commanding general of the service of supply, who, assisted by a staff especially organized for the purpose, is charged with the administrative co-ordination of all these services. "The transportation department imder the ser- vice of supply directs the operation, maintenance and construction of railways, the operation of ter- minals, the unloading of ships and transportation of material to warehouses or to the front. Its functions make necessary the most intimate rela- tionship between our organization and that of the French, with the practical result that our trans- portation department has been able to improve materially the operations of railways generally. Constantly laboring under a shortage of rolling stock, the transportation department has neverthe- less been able by efficient management to meet every emergency. "The engineer corps is charged with all con- struction, including light railways and roads. It has planned and constructed the many projects required, the most important of which are the new wharves at Bordeaux and Nantes, and the immense storage depots at La Pallice, Montoir and Vievres, besides innumerable hospitals and barracks in var- ious ports of France. These projects have all been carried on by phases keeping pace with our needs. The forestry service under the engineer corps has cut the greater part of the timber and railway ties required. "To meet the shortage of supplies from Amer- ica, due to lack of shipping, the representatives of the different supply departments were constantly in search of available material and supplies in Europe. In order to co-ordinate these purchases and to prevent competition between our depart- ments, a general purchasing agency was created early in our experience to co-ordinate our pur- chases and, if possible, induce our allies to apply the principle among the allied armies. While there was no authority for the general use of appro- priations, this was met by grouping the purchas- ing representatives of the different departments under one control charged with the duty of con- solidating requisitions and purchases. Our efforts to extend the principle have been signally success- ful, aind all purchases for the allied armies are now on an equitable and co-operative basis. In- deed, it may be said that the work of this bureau has been thoroughly efficient and businesslike. Artillery, Airplanes and Tanks "Our entry into the war found us with few of the auxiliaries necessary for its conduct in the modern sense. Among our most important defi- ciencies in material were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to meet our requirements as rapid- ly as possible, we accepted the offer of the French government to provide us with the necessary ar- tillery equipment of 75s, 155 millimeter howitzers and 155 G. P. F. guns from their own factories for thirty divisions. The wisdom of this course is fully demonstrated by the fact that, although we soon began the manufacture of these classes of guns at home, there were no guns of the calibers men- tioned manufactured in America on our front at the date the armistice was signed. The only guns of these types produced at home thus far received in France are 109 75 millimeter guns. "In 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 have provided us with a total of 2,676 pur- suit, observation and bombing planes. The first airplanes received from home arrived in May and altogether we have received 1,379. The first Amer- ican squadron completely equipped by American production, including airplanes, crossed the Ger- man lines on Aug. 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 re- quirements of their own armies. "It should be fully realized that the French government has always taken a most liberal atti- tude and has been most anxious to give us every REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES possible assistance in meeting our deficiencies in these as well as in other respects. Our dependence upon France for artillery, aviation and tanks was, of course, due to the fact that our industries had not been exclusively devoted to military produc- tion. All credit is due our own manufacturers for their efforts to meet our requirements, as at the time the armistice was signed we were able to look forward to the early supply of practically all our necessities from our own factories. "The welfare of the troops touches my respon- sibility as commander in chief to the mothers and fathers and kindred of the men who came to France in the impressionable period of youth. They could not have the privilege accorded European soldiers during their periods of leave of visiting their fam- ilies and renewing their home ties. Fully realizing that the standard of conduct that should be es- tablished for them must have a permanent influence in their lives and on the character of their future citizenship, the Red Cross, the Young Men's Chris- tian Association, Knights of Columbus, the Salva- tion Army and the Jewish welfare board, as auxil- iaries in this work, were encouraged in every pos- sible way. The fact that our soldiers, in a land of different customs and language, have borne themselves in a manner in keeping with the cause for which they fought is due not only to the efforts in their behalf but much more to their high ideals, their discipline and their innate sense of self-re- spect. It should be recorded, however, that the members of these welfare societies have been un- tiring in their desire to be of real service to our officers and men. Combat Operations "During our periods of training in the trenches some of our divisions had engaged the enemy in local combats, the most important of which was Seicheprey by the 26th on April 20, in the Toul sector, but none had participated in action as a unit. The 1st division, which had passed through the preliminary stages of training, had gone to the trenches for its first period of instruction at the end of October and by March 21, when the German offensive in Picardy began, we had four divisions with experience in the trenches, all of which were equal to any demands of battle action. The crisis which this offensive developed was such that our occupation of an American sector must be postponed. "On March 28 (1918) I placed at the disposal of Marshal Foch, who had been agreed upon as commander in chief of the allied armies, all of our forces to be used as he might decide. At his re- quest the 1st division was transferred from the Toul sector to a position in reserve at Chamount en Vexin. As German superiority in number re- quired prompt action, an agreement was reached at the Abbeville conference of the allied premiers and commanders and myself on May 2, by which British shipping was to transport ten American divisions 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. "On April 26 the 1st division had gone into the line in the Montdidier salient on the Picardy battle front. Tactics had been suddenly revolu- tionized to those of open warfare, and our men, confident of the results of their training, were eager for the test. On the morning of May 28, this division attacked the commanding German posi- tion in its front, taking with splendid dash the town of Cantigny and all other objectives, which were organized and held steadfastly against vicious counter-attacks and galling artillery fire. AUhough local, this brilliant action had an electrical effect, as it demonstrated our fighting qualities under extreme battle conditions, and also that the ene- my's troops were not altogether invincible. "The Germans' Aisne offensive, which began on May 27, had advanced rapidly toward the River Marne and Paris, and the allies faced a crisis equally grave as that of the Picardy offensive in March. Again every available man was placed at Marshall Foch's disposal, and the 3d division, which had just come from its preliminary training in the trenches, was hurried to the Marne. Its mo- torized machine gun battalion preceded the other units and successfully held the bridgehead at the Marne, opposite Chateau Thierry. The 2d division, in reserve near Montdidier, was sent by motor trucks and other available transport to check the progress of the enemy toward Paris. The division attacked and retook the town and railroad sta- tion 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 tacti- cal position, with far greater loss to the enemy than to ourselves. On July 1, before the 2d was relieved, it captured the village of Vaux with most splendid precision. "Meanwhile our 2d corps, under Maj.-Gen. George W. Reed, had been organized for the com- mand of our divisions with the British, which were held back in training areas or assigned to second line defenses. Five of the ten divisions were with- drawn from the British area in June, these to relieve the division in Lorraine and the Vosses REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES and two to the Paris area to join the group of American divisions which stood between the city and any further advance of the enemy in that direction. "The great June- July troop movement from the States was well under way, and although these troops were to be given some preliminary training before being put into action, their very presence warranted the use of all the older divisions in the confidence that we did not lack reserves. Elements of the 42d division were in the line east of Reims against the German offensive of July 15, and held the ground unflinchingly. On the right flank of this offensive four companies of the 28th division were in position in face of the advancing waves of the German infantry. The 3d division was holding the bank of the Marne from the bend east of the mouth of the Surmelin to the west of Mezy, opposite Chateau Thierry, where a large force of German infantry sought to force a passage under support of powerful artillery concentrations and under cover of smoke screens. A single regiment of the 3d wrote one of the most brilliant pages in our military annals on this occasion. It prevented the crossing at certain points on its front while, on either flank, the Germans, who had gained a footing, pressed forward. Our men, firing in three directions, met the German attacks with counter- attacks at critical points and succeeded in throw- ing two German divisions into complete confusion, capturing 600 prisoners. "The great force of the German Chateau Thier- r}' offensive established the deep Marne salient, but the enemy was taking chances, and the vulner- ability of this pocket to attack might be turned to his disadvantage. Seizing this opportunity to support my conviction, every division with any sort of training was made available for use in a counter-offensive. The place of honor in the thrust toward Soissons on July 18 was given to our 1st and 2d divisions in company with chosen French divisions. Without the usual brief warning of a preliminary bombardment, the massed French and American artillery, firing by the map, laid down its rolling barrage at dawn while the infantry be- gan its charge. The tactical handling of our troops under these trying conditions was excellent through- out the action. The enemy brought up large num- bers of reserves and made a stubborn defense both with machine guns and artillery, but through five days' fighting the 1st division continued to ad- vance until it had gained the heights above Sois- sons, and captured the village of Berzy-le-Sec. The 2d division took Beaurepaire farm and Vierzy in a very rapid advance and reached a position in front of Tigny at the end of its second day. These two divisions captured 7,000 prisoners and over 100 pieces of artillery. "The 26th division, which, with a French di- vision, was under command of our 1st corps, acted as a pivot of the movement toward Soissons. On the 18th it took the village of Torcy, while the 3d division was crossing the Marne in pursuit of the retiring enemy. The 26th attacked again on the 21st, and the enemy withdrew past the Chateau Thierry-Soissons road. The 3d division, continu- ing its progress, took the heights of Mont St. Pere and the villages of Charteves and Jaulgonne in the face of both machine gun and artillery fire. "On the 24th, after the Germans had fallen back from Trugny and Epieds, our 42nd division, which had been brought over from the Campagne, relieved the 26th and, fighting its way through the Foret de Fere, overwhelmed the nest of machine guns in its path. By the 27th it had reached the Ourcq, whence the 3d and 4th divisions were al- ready advancing, while the French divisions with which we were co-operating were moving forward at other points. "The 3d division had made its advance into Roncheres wood on the 29th and was relieved for rest by a brigade of the 32d. The 42d and 32d undertook the task of conquering the heights be- yond Cierges, the 42d capturing Sergy and the 32d capturing Hill 230, both American divisions join- ing in the pursuit of the enemy to the Vesle, and thus the operation of reducing the salient was fin- ished. Meanwhile the 42d was relieved by the 4th at Chery-Chartreuve and the 32d by the 28th, while the 77th division took up a position on the Vesle. The operations of these divisions on the Vesle were under the 3d corps, Maj.-Gen. Robert L. BuUard commanding. Battle of St. Mihiel "With the reduction of the Marne salient we could look forward to the concentration of our divisions in our own zone. In view of the forth- coming operation against the St. Mihiel salient, which had long been planned as our first offensive action on a large scale, the 1st army was organized on Aug. 10 under my personal command. While American units had held different divisional and corps sectors along the western front, there had not been up to this time, for obvious reasons, a distinct American sector; but, in view of the im- portant parts the American forces were now to play, it was necessary to take over a permanent portion of the line. Accordingly, on Aug. 30 the line beginning at Port sur Seille, east of the Moselle and extending to the west through St. Mihiel, thence north to a point opposite Verdun, was placed un- REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES der my command. The American sector was after- ward extended across the Meuse to the western edge of the Argonne forest, and included the 2d colonial French, which held the point of the salient, and the 17th French corps, which occupied the heights above Verdun. "The preparation for a complicated operation against the formidable defenses in front of us in- cluded the assembling of divisions and of corps and army artillery, transport, aircraft, tanks, am- bulances, the location of hospitals and the molding together of all of the elements of a great modern army with its own rail heads, supplied directly by our own service of supply. The concentration for this operation, which was to be a surprise, involved the movement, mostly at night, of ap- proximately 600,000 troops, and required for its success the most careful attention to every detail. "The French were generous in giving us assis- tance in corps and army artillery, with its per- sonnel, and we were confident from the start of our superiority over the enemy in guns of all cali- bers. Our heavy guns were able to reach Metz and to interfere seriously with German rail move- ments. The French independent air force was placed under my command, which, together with the British bombing squadrons and our air forces, gave us the largest assembly of aviation that had ever been engaged in one operation on the western front. "From Les Eparges around the nose of the salient at St. Mihiel to the Moselle river the line was roughly forty miles long and situated on com- manding ground greatly strengthened by artificial defenses. Our 1st corps (82d, 90th, 5th and 2d divisions), under command of Maj.-Gen. Hunter Liggett, restrung its right, on Pont-a-Mousson, with its left joining our 3d corps (the 89th, 42d and 1st divisions), under Maj.-Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, in line to Xivray, where it was to swing in toward Vigneulles on the pivot of the Moselle river for the initial assault. From Xivray to Mouilly the 2d colonial French corps was in line in the center and our 5th corps, under command of Maj.-Gen. George H. Cameron, with our 26th di- vision and a French division at the western base of the salient, were to attack three difficult hills — Les Eparges, Combres, and Amaranthe. Our 1st corps had in reserve the 78th division, our 4th corps the 3d division, and our 1st army the 35th and 91st divisions, with the 80th and 33d available. It should be understood that our corps organiza- tions are very elastic, and that we have at no time had permanent assignments of divisions to corps. "After four hours' artillery preparation the seven American divisions in the front line advanced at 5 a. m., on Sept. 12, assisted by a limited num- ber of tanks manned partly by Americans and partly by the French. These divisions, accompan- ied by groups of wire cutters and others armed with bangalore torpedoes, went through the suc- cessive bands of barbed wire that protected the enemy's front line and support trenches, in irre- sistible waves on schedule time, breaking down all defense of an enemy demoralized by the great volume of our artillery fire and our sudden ap- proach out of the fog. "Our 1st corps advanced to Thiaucourt, while our 4th corps curved back to the southwest through Nonsard. The 2d colonial French corps made the slight advance required of it on very difficult ground and the 5th corps took its three ridges and repulsed the counter-attack. A rapid march brought reserve regiments of a division of the 5th corps into Vigneulles in the early morning, where it linked up with the patrols of our 4th corps, clos- ing the salient and forming a new line west of Thiaucourt to Vigneulles and beyond Fresnes-en- Woevre. At the cost of only 7,000 casualties, mostly light, we had taken 16,000 prisoners and 443 guns, a great quantity of material, released the inhabitants of many villages from enemy dom- ination and established our lines in a position to threaten Metz. This signal success of the Ameri- can 1st army in it first offensive was of prime importance. The allies found they had a formid- able army to aid them and the enemy learned final- ly that he had one to reckon with. Meuse- Argonne Offensive, First Phase "On the day after we had taken the St. Mihiel salient much of our corps and army artillery which had operated at St. Mihiel and our divisions in reserve at other points were already on the move toward the area back of the line between the Meuse river and the western edge of the forest of Ar- gonne. With the exception of St. Mihiel, the old German front line from Switzerland to the east of Reims was still intact. In the general attack all along the line the operation assigned the Amer- ican army as the hinge of this allied offensive was directed toward the important railroad com- munications of the German armies through Mez- ieres and Sedan. The enemy must hold fast to this part of his lines or the withdrawal of his forces with four years' accumulation of plants and material would be dangerously imperiled. "The German army had as yet shown no de- moralization, and, while the mass of its troops had suffered in morale, its first class divisions and notably its machine gun defense were exhibiting REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES remarkable tactical efficiency as well as courage. The German general staff was fully aware of the consequences of a success on the Meuse-Argonne line. Certain that he would do everything in his power to oppose us, the action was planned with as much secrecy as possible and was undertaken with the determination to use all our divisions in forcing decision. We expected to draw the best German divisions to our front and to consume them while the enemy was held under grave ap- prehension lest our attack should break his line, which it was our firm purpose to do. "Our , right flank was protected by the Meuse, while our left embraced the Argonne forest, whose ravines, hills and elaborate defense screened by dense thickets had been generally considered im- pregnable. Our order of battle from right to left was the 3d corps from the Meuse to Malancourt, with the 33d, 80th and 4th divisions in line, and the 3d division as corps reserve; the 5th corps from Malancourt to Vauquois, with 79th, 87th and 91st divisions in line, and the 32d in corps reserve; and the 1st corps, from Vauquois to Vienne le Chateau, with 35th, 28th and 77th divisions in line, and the 92d, in corps reserve. The army reserve consisted of the 1st, 29th and 82d divi- sions. "On the night of Sept. 25 our troops quietly took the place of the French, who thinly held the line in this sector, which had long been inactive. In the attack which began on the 26th we drove through the barbed wire entanglements and the sea of shell craters across "no man's land," mas- tering all the first line defenses. Continuing on the 27th and 28th, against machine guns and ar- tillery of an increasing number of enemy reserve divisions, we penetrated to a depth of from three to seven miles, and took the village of Montfaucon and its commanding hill and Exermont, Gercourt, Cuisy, Septsarges, Malancourt, Ivoiry, Epinonville, Charpentry, Very and other villages. East of the Meuse one of our divisions, which was with the 2d Colonial French corps, captured Marcheville and Rieville, giving further protection to the flank of our main body. We had taken 10,000 prison- ers, and had gained our point of forcing the battle into the open and were prepared for the enemy's reaction, which was bound to come, as he had good roads and ample railroad facilities for bring- ing up his artillery and reserves. "In the chill rain of dark nights our engineers had to build new roads across spongy, shell torn areas, repair broken roads beyond "no man's land," and build bridges. Our gunners, with no thought of sleep, put their shoulders to wheels and drag- ropes to bring their guns through the mire in sup- port of the infantry, now under the increasing fire of the enemy's artillery. Our atta;ck had taken the enemy by surprise, but quickly recovering him- self, he began to fire counter-attacks in strong force, supported by heavy bombardments, with large quantities of gas. From Sept. 28 until Oct. 4 we maintained the ofi'ensive against patches of woods defended by snipers and continuous lines of mach- ine guns, and pushed forward our guns and trans- port, seizing strategical points in preparation for further attacks. "Other divisions attached to the allied armies were doing their part. It was the fortune of our 2d corps, composed of the 27th and 30th divisions, which had remained with the British, to have a place of honor in co-operation with the Australian corps on Sept. 29 and Oct. 1 in the assault on the Hindenburg line where the St. Quentin canal passes through a tunnel under a ridge. The 30th division speedily broke through the main line of defense for all its objectives, while the 27th pushed on impetuously through the main line until some of its elements reached Gouy. In the midst of the maze of trenches and shell craters and under cross fire from machine guns the other elements fought desperately against odds. In this and in later actions, from Oct. 6 to Oct. 19, our 2d corps captured over 6,000 prisoners and advanced over thirteen miles. The spirit and aggressiveness of these divisions have been highly praised by the British army commander under whom they served. "On Oct. 2-9 our 2d and 36th divisions were sent to assist the French in an important attack against the old German positions before Reims. The 2d conquered the complicated defense works on their front against a persistent defense worthy of the grimmest period of trench warfare and at- tacked the strongly held wooded hill at Blanc Mont, which, they captured in a second assault, sweeping over it with consummate dash and skill. This division then repulsed strong counter-attacks before the village and cemetery of Ste. Etienne and took the town, forcing the Germans to fall back from before Reims and yield positions they had held since September, 1914. On Oct. 9 the 36th division relieved the 2d and in its first ex- perience under fire withstood very severe artillery bombardment and rapidly took up the pursuit of the enemy, now retiring behind the Aisne. Meuse-Argonne Offensive, Second Phase "The allied progress elsewhere cheered the ef- forts of our men in this crucial contest, as the German command threw in more and more first REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES class troops to stop our advance. We made steady headway in the almost impenetrable and strongly held Argonne forest, for despite this re-inforce- ment it was our army that was doing the driving. Our aircraft was increasing in skill and numbers and forcing the issue and our infantry and artil- lery were improving rapidly with each new ex- perience. The replacements fresh from home were put into exhausted divisions with little time for training, but they had the advantage of serving beside men who knew their business and who had almost become veterans overnight. The enemy had taken every advantage of the terrain, which especially favored the defense, by the prodigal use of machine guns manned by highly trained veter- ans and by using his artillery at short ranges. In the face of such strong frontal positions we should have been unable to accomplish any progress ac- cording to previously accepted standards, but I had every confidence in our aggressive tactics and the courage of our troops. "On Oct. 4 the attack was renewed all along our front. The 3d corps tilting to the left followed the Brieulles-Cunel road; our 5th corps took Ges- nes while the 1st corps advanced for over two miles along the irregular valley of the Aire river and in the wooded hills of the Argonne that bor- dered the river, used by the enemy with all his art and weapons of defense. This sort of fighting continued against an enemy striving to hold every foot of ground and whose very strong counter- attacks challenged us at every point. On the 7th the 1st corps captured Chatel-Chehery and con- tinued along the river to Cornay. On the east of Meuse sector one of the two divisions co-operating with the French captured Consenvoye and the Haumont woods. On the 9th the 5th corps, in its progress up the Aire, took Fleville, and the 3d corps, which had continuous fighting against odds, was working its way through Brieulles and Cunel. On the 10th we had cleared the Argonne forest of the enemy. "It was now necessary to constitute a second army, and on Oct. 9 the inunediate command of the 1st army was turned over to Lieut.-Gen. Hun- ter Liggett. The command of the 2d army, whose divisions occupied a sector in the Woevre, was given to Lieut.-Gen. Robert L. Bullard, who had been commander of the 1st division and then of the 3d corps. Ma j. -Gen. Dickman was transferred to the command of the 1st corps, while the 5th corps was placed under Maj.-Gen. Charles P. Summerall, who had recently commanded the 1st division. Maj.-Gen. John L. Hines, who had gone rapidly up from regimental to division commander, was assigned to the 3d corps. These four officers had been in France from the early days of the expedi- tion and had learned their lessons in the school of practical warfare. "Our constant pressure against the enemy brought day by day more prisoners, mostly sur- vivors from machine gun nests captured in fighting at close quarters. On Oct. 18 there was very fierce fighting in the Caures woods, east of the Meuse, and in the Ormont woods. On the 14th the 1st corps took St. Juvin, and the 5th corps, in hand to hand encounters, entered the formidable Kriem- hilde line, where the enemy had hoped to check us indefinitely. Later the 5th corps penetrated fur- tiier the Kriemhilde line, and the 1st corps took Champigneuelles and the important town of Grand- pre. Our dogged offensive was wearing down the enemy, who continued desperately to throw his best troops against us, thus weakening his line in front of our allies and making their advance less difficult. Divisions in Belgium "Meanwhile we were not only able to con- tinue the battle, but our 37th and 91st divisions were hastily withdrawn from our front and dis- patched to help the French army in Belgium. De- training in the neighborhood of Ypres, these di- visions advanced by rapid stages to the fighting line and were assigned to adjacent French corps. On Oct. 31 in continuation of the Flanders offen- sive they attacked and methodically broke down all enemy resistance. On Nov. 3 the 37th had completed its mission in driving the enemy across the Escaut river and firmly established itself along the east bank included in the division zone of ac- tion. By a clever flanking movement troops of the 91st division captured Spitaals Bosschen, a dif- ficult wood extending across the central part of the division sector, reached the Escaut, and pene- trated into the town of Audenarde. These divisions received high commendation from their corps com- manders for their dash and energy. Meuse- Argonne — Last Phase "On the 23d the 3d and 5th corps pushed north- ward to the level of Bantheville. While we con- tinued to press forward and throw back the ene- my's violent counter-attacks with great loss to him, a regrouping of our forces was under way for the final assault. Evidences of loss of morale by the enemy gave our men more confidence in attacks and more fortitude in enduring the fatigue of in- cessant effort and the hardships of very inclement weather. "With comparatively well rested divisions, the REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES final advance in the Meuse-Argonne front was be- gun on Nov. 1. Our increased artillery force acquitted itself magnificently in support of the advance, and the enemy broke before the deter- mined infantry which, by its persistent fighting of the past weeks and the dash of this attack, had overcome his will to resist. The 3d corps took Ancreville, Doulcon and Andevanne, and the 5th corps took Landres et St. Georges and pressed through successive lines of resistance to Bayon- ville and Chennery. On the 2d the 1st corps joined in the movement which now became an impetuous onslaught that could not be stayed. "On the 3d advance troops surged forward in pursuit, some by motor trucks, while the artillery pressed along the country roads close behind. The 1st corps reached Authe and Chatillon-sur-Bar, the 5lh corps Fosse and Nouart and the 3d corps Halles, penetrating the enemy's line to a depth of twelve miles. Our large caliber guns had advanced and were skillfully brought into position to fire upon the important lines at Montmedy, Longuyon and Conflans. Our 3d corps crossed the Meuse on the 5lh and the other corps, in the full confidence that the day was theirs, eagerly cleared the way of machine guns as they swept northward, maintain- ing complete co-ordination throughout. On the 6lh, a division of the 1st corps reached a point on the Meuse opposite Sedan, twenty-five miles from our line of departure. The strategical goal which was our highest hope was gained. We had cut the enemy's main line of communications, and noth- ing but surrender or an armistice could save his army from complete disaster. "In all forty enemy divisions had been used against us in the Meuse-Argonne battle. Between Sept. 26 and Nov. 6 we took 26,059 prisoners and 468 guns on this front. Our divisions engaged were the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 32d, 33d, 35th, 37th, 42d, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 82d, 89th, 90th and 91st. Many of our divisions re- mained in line for a length of time that required nerves of steel, while other were sent in again after only a few days of rest. The 1st, 5th, 26th, 42d, 77th, 80th, 89th and 90th were in the line twice. Although some of the divisions were fighting their first battle, they soon became equal to the best. Operations East of the Meuse "On the three days preceding Nov. 10, the 3d, the 2d colonial and the 17th French corps fought a difficult struggle through the Meuse hills, south of Stenay, and forced the enemy into the plain. Meanwhile, my plans for further use of the American forces contemplated an advance be- tween the Meuse and the Moselle in the direction of Longwy by the 1st army, while, at the same time, the 2d army should assume the offensive toward the rich coal fields of Briey. These oper- ations were to be followed by an offensive toward Chateau-Salins east of the Moselle, thus isolating Metz. Accordingly, attacks on the American front had been ordered and that of the 2d army was in progress on the morning of Nov. 11, when instruc- tions were received that hostilities should cease at 11 o'clock a. m. "At this moment the line of the American sector, from right to left, began at Fort-sur- Seille, thence across the Moselle to Vandieres and through the Woevre to Bezanvaux in the foothills of the Meuse, thence along to the foothills and through the northern edge of the Woevre forests to the Meuse at Mouzay, thence along the Meuse con- necting with the French under Sedan. Relations with the Allies "Co-operation among the allies has at all times been most cordial. A far greater effort has been put forth by the allied armies and staffs to assist us than could have been expected. The French government and army have always stood ready to furnish us with supplies, equipment, and transpor- tation and to aid us every way. In the towns and hamlets wherever our troops have been stationed or billeted the French people have everywhere re- ceived them more as relatives and intimate friends than as soldiers of a foreign army. For these things words are quite inadequate to express our gratitude. There can be no doubt that the rela- tions growing out of our associations here assure a permanent friendship between the two peoples. Although we have not been so intimately asso- ciated with the people of Great Britain, yet their tioops and ours when thrown together have always warmly fraternized. The reception of those of our forces who have passed through England and of those who have been stationed there has always been enthusiastic. Altogether it has been deeply impressed upon us that the ties of language and blood bring the British and , ourselves together completely and inseparably. Strength "There are in Europe altogether, including a regiment and some sanitary units with the Italian Army and the organizations at Murmansk, also in- cluding those enroute from the States, approxi- mately 2,053,347 men, less our losses. Of this total there are in France 1,338,169 combatant troops. Forty divisions have arrived, of which the infantry personnel of ten has been used as re- REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES placements, leaving thirty divisions now in France organized into three armies of three corps each. "The losses of the Americans up to Nov. 18 are: Killed and wounded, 36,145; died of disease, 14,- 811; deaths unclassified, 2,204; wounded, 179,625; prisoners, 2,163; missing 1,160. We have cap- tured about 44,000 prisoners and 1,400 guns, howitzers and trench mortars. Commendation "The duties of the general staff, as well as those of the army and corps staffs, have been very ably performed. Especially is this true when we con- sider the new and difiicult problems with which they have been confronted. This body of officers, both as individuals and as an organization, has, I believe, no superiors in professional ability, in ef- ficiency, or in loyalty. "Nothing that we have in France better reflects the efficiency and devotion to duty of Americans in general than the service of supply, whose per- sonnel is thoroughly imbued with a patriotic desire to do its full duty. They have at all times fully appreciated their responsibility to the rest of the army and the results produced have been most gratifying. "Our medical corps is especially entitled to praise for the general effectiveness of its work both in hospital and at the front. Embracing men of high professional attainments, and splendid women devoted to their calling and untiring in their efforts, this department has made a new record for medical and sanitary proficiency. "The quartermaster department has had diffi- cult and various tasks, but it has more than met all demands that have been made upon it. Its management and its personnel have been exception- ally efficient and deserve every possible commen- dation. "As to the more technical services, the able personnel of the ordnance department in France has splendidly fulfilled its functions both in pro- curement and in forwarding the immense quan- tities of ordnance required. The officers and men and the young women of the signal corps have performed their duties with a large conception of the problem and with a devoted and patriotic spirit to which the perfection of our communications daily testifies. While the engineer corps has been referred to in another part of this report, it should be further stated that the work has required large vision and high professional skill, and great credit is due the personnel for the high proficiency that it has constantly maintained. "Our aviators have no equals in daring or in fighting ability and have left a record of courage- ous deeds that will ever remain a brilliant page in the annals of our army. While the tank corps has had limited opportunities its personnel has re- sponded gallantly on every possible occasion and has shown courage of the highest order. "The adjutant-general's department has been directed with a systematic thoroughness and ex- cellence that surpassed any previous work of its kind. The inspector-general's department has risen to the highest standards and throughout has ably assisted commanders in the enforcement of discip- line. The able personnel of the judge-advocate general's department has solved with judgment and v/isdom the multitude of difficult legal problems, many of them involving questions of great inter- national importance. "It would be impossible in this brief prelimin- ary report to do justice to the personnel of all the different branches of this organization which I shall cover in detail in a later report. "The navy in European waters has at all times most cordially aided the army, and it is most grati- fying to report that there has never before been such perfect co-operation between these two branches of the service. "As to Americans in Europe not in the military services, it is the greatest pleasure to say that, both iri official and in private life, they are intensely patriotic and loyal, and have been invariably sym- pathetic and helpful to the army. "Finally, I pay the supreme tribute to our of- ficers and soldiers of the line. When I think of their heroism, their patience under hardships, their unflinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled with emotion which I am unable to express. Their deeds are immortal, and they have earned the eter- nal gratitude of our country. "I am, Mr. Secretary, very respectfully, "John J. Pershing, "General, Commander in Chief American Ex- peditionary Forces. "To the Secretary of War." REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES MARINE CORPS WINS HONORS Josephus Daniels in his annual report for 1918 pays a glowing tribute to the deeds of the United States marine corps in the fighting on the western front in France. Because of its historical value this part of the report is herewith reproduced in full: This efficient fighting, building and landing force of the navy [the marine corps] has won imperishable glory in the fulfillment of its latest duties upon the battle fields of France, where the marines, fighting for the time under Gen. Pershing as a part of the victorious American army, have written a story of valor and sacrifice that will live in the brightest annals of the war. With heroism that nothing could daunt, the marine corps played a vital role in stemming the German rush on Paris, and in later days aided in the beginning of the great offensive, the freeing of Reims, and partici- pated in the hard fighting in Champagne, which had as its object the throwing back of the Prus- sian armies in the vicinity of Cambrai and St. Quentin. With only 8,000 men engaged in the fiercest battles, the marine corps casualties numbered 69 officers and 1,531 enlisted men dead, and 78 officers and 2,435 enlisted men wounded seriously enough to be officially reported by cablegram, to which number should be added not a few whose wounds did not incapacitate them for further fighting. However, with a casualty list that numbers nearly half the original 8,000 men who entered battle the official reports account for only 57 United States marines who have been captured by the enemy. This includes those who were wounded far in ad- vance of their lines and who fell into the hands of Germans while unable to resist. Stopped Drive, on Paris Memorial day shall henceforth have a greater, deeper significance for America, for it was on that day. May 30, 1918, that our country really re- ceived its first call to battle — the battle in which American troops had the honor of stopping the German drive on Paris, throwing back the Prus- sian hordes in attack after attack, and beginning the retreat which lasted until imperial Germany was beaten to its knees and its emissaries were ap- pealing for an armistice under the flag of truce. And to the United States marines, fighting side by side with equally brave and equally courageous men in the American army, to that faithful sea and land force of the navy fell the honor of taking over the lines where the blow of the Prussian would strike the hardest, the line that was nearest Paris and where, should a breach occur, all would be lost. The world knows today that the United States marines held that line; that they blocked the advance that was rolling on toward Paris at a rate of six or seven miles a day; that they met the attack in American fashion and with American heroism; that marines and soldiers of the Ameri- can army threw back the crack guard divisions of Germany, broke their advance, and then, attack- ing, drove them back in the beginning of a retreat tliat was not to end until the "cease firing" signal sounded for the end of the world's greatest war. In this connection Melville E. Stone, general man- ager of The Associated Press, said, following an exhaustive trip of investigation in Europe: "They [the marines] had before them the best Prussian guards and shock troops — the Germans were perfectly sure they could drive the 'amateurs' back. It was a dramatic situation, for success meant that the Germans could probably push for Calais and other channel ports; but Foch dangled Paris before their eyes by putting raw Americans at a point across the direct road to Paris, in the pocket between Reims and Soissons. Instead of driving back the 'amateurs' the 'amateurs' drove them and gave them also a very sound thrashing. Their losses were heavy, but they did the work, and in doing it also did three things: They saved Paris; they seriously injured the morale of the best German troops, and they set a standard and fixed a reputation for American troops that none other dared tarnish." Such is the opinion of the head of a great news- gathering force regarding the achievements of the United States marines at Chateau Thierry, where in the battle field of Bois de Belleau, now named the Bois de la Brigade de Marine by official order of the French staff, this branch of the navy met the Germans and blocked their drive on Paris. Ordered to Front on Memorial Day It was on the evening of May 30, after a day dedicated to the memory of their comrades who had fallen in the training days and in the Verdun sector, that the 5th and 6th regiments and the 6th machine gun battalion. United States marines, each received the following orders. "Advance information official received that this regiment will move at 10 p. m. May 30 by bus to new area. All trains shall be loaded at once and arrangements hastened. Wagons, when loaded, will move to Serans to form train." All through the night there was fevered activity among the marines. Then, the next morning, the REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES long trains of camions, busses and trucks, each carrying its full complement of United States mar- ines, went forward on a road which at one place wound within less than ten miles of Paris, toward Meaux and the fighting line. Through the town of Meaux went the long line of camions and to the village of Montriel-aux- Lions, less than four miles from the rapidly ad- vancing German line. On this trip the camions containing the Americans were the only trafffic traveling in the direction of the Germans; every- thing else was going the other way — refugees, old men and women, small children riding on every conceivable conveyance, many trudging along the side of the road driving a cow or calf before them, all of them covered with the white dust which the camion caravan was whirling up as h rolled along; along that road only one organiza- tion was advancing, the United States marines. Got Into Line on June 2 At last, their destination reached early on the morning of June 2, they disembarked, stiff and tired after a journey of more than seventy-two miles, but as they formed their lines and marched onward in the direction of the line they were to hold they were determined and cheerful. That evening the first field message from the 4th brigade to Maj.-Gen. Omar Bundy, commanding the 2d division, went forward: "Second battalion, 6th marines, in line from Le Thiolet through Clarembauts woods to Triangle to Lucy. Instructed to hold line. First battalion, 6th marines, going into the line from Lucy through Hill 142. Third battalion in support at La Voie du Chatel, which is also the post command of the 6th marines. Sixth machine gun battalion dis- tributed at line." Meanwhile the 5th regiment was moving into line, machine guns were advancing and the artil- lery taking its position. That night the men and of- ficers of the marines slept in the open, many of them in a field that was green with unharvested wheat, awaiting the time when they should be sum- moned to battle. The next day at 5 o'clock, the afternoon of June 2, began the battle of Chateau Thierry, with the Americans holding the line against the most vicious wedge of the German ad- vance. Battle of Chateau Thierry The advance of the Germans was across a wheat field, driving at Hill 165 and advancing in smooth columns. The United States marines, trained to keen observation upon the rifle range, nearly every one of them wearing a marksman's medal or bet- ter, that of the sharpshooter or expert rifleman, did not wait for those gray clad hordes to advance nearer. Calmly they set their sights and aimed with the same precision that they had shown upon the rifle ranges at Paris island. Mare island and Quantico. Incessantly their rifles cracked, and with their fire came the support of the artillery. The machine gun fire, incessant also, began to make its inroads upon the advancing forces. Closer and closer the shrapnel burst to its targets. Caught in a seething wave of machine gun fire, of scattering shrapnel, of accurate rifle fire, the Ger- mans found themselves in a position in which further advance could only mean absolute suicide. The lines hesitated. They stopped. They broke for cover, while the marines raked the woods and ravines in which they had taken refuge with mach- ine gun and rifle to prevent them making another attempt to advance by infiltrating through. Above a French airplane was checking up on the artillery fire. Surprised by the fact that men should de- liberately set their sights, adjust their range and then fire deliberately at an advancing foe, each man picking his target, instead of firing mere- ly in the direction of the enemy, the aviator sig- naled below "Bravo!" In the rear that word was echoed again and again. The German drive on Paris had been stopped. Fierce Fighting in Bellefiu Wood For the next few days the fighting took on the character of pushing forth outposts and deter- mining the strength of the enemy. Now the fight- ing had changed. The Germans, mystified that they should have run against a stone wall of de- fense just when they believed that their advance would be easiest, had halted, amazed; then pre- pared to defend the positions they had won with all the stubbornness possible. In the black re- cesses of Belleau wood the Germans had estab- lished nest after nest of machine guns. There in the jungle of matted underbrush, of vines, of heavy foliage, they had placed themselves in positions they believed impregnable. And this meant that unless they could be routed, unless they could be thrown back, the breaking of the attack of June 2 would mean nothing. There would come another drive and another. That battle of Chateau Thierry was therefore not won and could not be won until Belleau wood had been cleared of the enemy. It was June 6 that the attack of the American troops began against that wood and its adjacent surroundings, with the wood itself and the towns of Torcy and Bouresches forming the objectives. At 5 o'clock the attack came, and there began the REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES tremendous sacrifices which the marine corps glad- ly suffered that the German fighters might be thrown back. Fought in American Fashion The marines fought strictly according to Amer- ican methods — a rush, a halt, a rush again, in four wave formation, the rear waves taking over the work of those who had fallen before them, pass- ing over the bodies of their dead comrades and plunging ahead, until they, too, should be torn to bits. But behind those waves were more waves, and the attack went on. "Men fell like flies"; the expression is that of an oiEcer writing from the field. Companies that had entered the battle 250 strong dwindled to fifty and sixty, with a sergeant in command; but the attack did not faker. At 9:45 o'clock that night Bouresches was taken by Lieut. James F. Robert- son and twenty-odd men of his platoon; these soon were joined by two re-enforcing platoons. Then came the enemy counter-attacks, but the marines held. Charging on Machine Gun Nests In Belleau wood the fighting had been literally from tree to tree, stronghold to stronghold; and it was a fight which must last for weeks before its accomplishment in victory. Belleau wood was a jungle, its every rocky formation forming a Ger- man machine gun nest, almost impossible to reach by artillery or grenade fire. There was only one way to wipe out these nests — by the bayonet. And by this method were they wiped out, for United States Marines, bare chested, shouting their battle cry of "Eeeee yaahhh yip," charged straight into the murderous fire from those guns, and won! Out of the number that charged, in more than one instance, only one would reach the stronghold. There, with his bayonet as his only weapon, he would either kill or capture the defenders of the nest, and then swinging the gun about in its posi- tion, turn it against the remaining German position in the forest. Such was the character of the fighting in Belleau wood; fighting which continued until July 6, when after a short relief the invincible Ame- ricans finally were taken back to the rest billet for recuperation. Held the Line for Many Weary Days In all the history of the marine corps there is no other such battle as that one in Belleau wood. Fighting day and night without relief, without sleep, often without water, and for days without hot rations, the marines met and defeated the best divisions that Germany could throw into the line. The heroism and doggedness of that battle are un- paralleled. Time after time officers seeing their lines cut to pieces, seeing their men so dog tired that they even fell asleep under shellfire, hearing their Vi^ounded calling for water that they were unable to supply, seeing men fight on after they had been wounded and until they dropped uncon- scious; time after time officers seeing these things, believing that the very limit of human endurance had been reached, would send back messages to their post command that their men were exhausted. But in answer to this would come the word that the lines must hold, and if possible those lines must attack. And the lines obeyed. Without water, without food, without rest, they went forward — and forward every time to victory. Companies have been so torn and lacerated by losses that they were hardly platoons; but they held their lines and advanced them. In more than one case companies lost every officer, leaving a sergeant and sometimes a corporal to command, and the advance continued. After thirteen days in this inferno of fire a captured German officer told with his dying breath of a fresh division of Ger- mans that was about to be thrown into the battle to attempt to wrest from the marines that part of the wood they had gained. The marines, who for days had been fighting only on their sheer nerve, who had been worn out from nights of sleepless- ness, from lack of rations, from terrific shell and machine gun fire, straightened their lines and prepared for the attack. It came — as the dying German officer had predicted. German Crack Troops Repulsed and Beaten At 2 o'clock on the morning of June 13 it was launched by the Germans along the whole front. Without regard for men, the enemy hurled its forces against Bouresches and the Bois de Belleau, and sought to win back what had been taken from Germany by the Americans. The orders were that these positions must be taken at all costs; that the utmost losses in men must be endured that the Bois de Belleau and Bouresches might fall again into German hands. But the depleted lines of the marines held; the men who had fought on their nerve alone for days once more showed the mettle of which they were made. With their backs to the trees and boulders of the Bois de Belleau, with their sole shelter the scatterd ruins of Bouresches, the thinning lines of the marines repelled the at- tack and crashed back the new division which had sought to wrest the position from them. And so it went. Day after day, night after night, while time after time messages like the fol- lowing traveled to the post command: REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES "Losses heavy. Difficult to get runners through. Some have never returned. Morale excellent, but troops about all in. Men exhausted." Exhausted, but holding on. And they contin- ued to hold on in spite of every difficulty. Ad- vancing their lines slowly day by day, the marines finally prepared their positions to such an extent that the last rush for the possession of the wood could be made. Then, on June 24, following a tremendous barrage, the struggle began. The barrage literally tore the woods to pieces, but even its immensity could not wipe out all the nests that remained, the emplacements that were behind almost every clump of bushes, every jagged, rough group of boulders. But those that remained were wiped out by the American method of the rush and the bayonet and in the days that followed every foot of Belleau wood was cleared of the enemy and held by the frayed lines of the Ameri- Praise from French Staff It was, therefore, with the feeling of work well done that the depleted lines of the marines were relieved in July, that they might be filled with re- placement and made ready for the grand offensive in the vicinity of Soissons July 18. And in recog- nition of their sacrifice and bravery this praise was forthcoming from the French: "Army Headquarters, June 30, 1918. — In view of the brilliant conduct of the 4th brigade of the 26 United States division, which in a spirited fight took Bouresches and the important strong point of Bois de Belleau, stubbornly defended by a large enemy force, the general commanding the 6th ar- my orders that henceforth in all official papers, the Bois de Belleau shall be named 'Bois de la Brigade de Marine. "Division General Degoutte, "Commanding 6th Army." Gen. Pershing Personally Congratulates Marines Gen. Pershing's congratulations also were con- tained in the following order, issued by the brigade commander, dated June 9, 1918, to the units of his command: "The brigade commander takes pride in an- nouncing that, in addition to the commander in chief's telegram of congratulation to the 4th bri- gade, published in an indorsement from the divi- sion commander, dated June 9, Gen. Pershing has to day visited division headquarters and sent his personal greetings and congratulations to the marine brigade. He also added that Gen. Foch, commander in chief of the allied armies in France, especially charged him this morning to give the marine brigade his love and congratulations on their fine work of the past week. "By command of Brig.-Gen. Harbord. "H. Lay, Major Adjutant." Gen. Harhord's Commendation On July 18 the marines were again called into action in the vicinity of Soissons, near Tigny and Vierzy. In the face of a murderous fire from con- centrated machine guns, which contested every foot of their advance, the United States marines moved forward until the severity of their casualties neces- sitated that they dig in and hold the positions they had gained. Here, again, their valor called forth official praise, which came in the following: "General Orders No. 46. — France, July 21. — It is with keen pride that the divisional com- mander transmits to the command the congratu- lations and affectionate greetings of Gen. Pershing, who visited the divisional headquarters last night. His praise of the gallant work of the division on the 18th and 19th is echoed by the French high command, the 3d corps commander, American ex- peditionary forces, and in a telegram from the former divisional commander. In spite of two sleepless nights, long marches through rain and mud, and the discomfort of hunger and thirst, the division attacked, side by side with the gallant 1st Moroccan division, and maintained itself with credit. You advanced over six miles, captured over 3,000 prisoners, eleven batteries of artillery, over 100 machine guns, minenwerfers and supplies. The 2d division has sustained the best traditions of the regular army and the marine corps. The story of your achievements will be told in millions of homes in all allied nations to night. " J. G. Harbord, Major-General, N. A." In Battle for St. Mihiel Salient Then came the battle for the St. Mihiel salient. On the night of September 11th, the 2d division took over a line running from Remenauville to Limey, and on the night of September 14, and the morning of September 15th attacked, with two days' objectives ahead of them. Overcoming the enemy resistance, they romped through to the Rupt de Mad, a small river, crossed it on stone bridges, occupied Thiaucourt, the first day's objective, scaled the heights just beyond it, pushed on to a line running from the Zammes-Joulney ridges to the Binvaux forest, and here rested, with the sec- ond day's objectives occupied by 2:50 o'clock of the first day. The casualties of the division were about 1,000, of which 134 were killed. Of these about half were marines. The captures in which the marines participated were 80 German officers, REPORT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES 3,200 men, 90 odd cannon and vast stores. In his congratulations following the battle Gen. Lejeune said: "Sept. 17, 1918.— General orders No. 54:— I desire to express to the officers and men my pro- found appreciation of their brilliant and success- ful attack in the recent engagement. "Our division maintained the prestige and honor of the country proudly and swept the enemy from the field. John A. Lejeune, "Major-General, United States Marine Corps." Capture of Blanc Mont Ridge But even further honors were to befall the fighting, landing and building force, of which the navy is justly proud. In the early part of October it became necessary for the allies to capture the bald, jagged ridge twenty miles due east of Rheims, known as Blanc Mont ridge. Here the armies of Germany and the allies had clashed more than once, and attempt after attempt had been made to wrest it from German hands. It was a keystone to the German defense, the fall of which would have a far reaching effect upon the enemy armies. To the glory of the United States marines let it be said that they were again a part of that splendid 2d division which swept forward in the attack which freed Blanc Mont ridge from German hands, pushed its way down the slopes, and occupied the level ground just be- yond, thus assuring a victory the full import of which can best be judged by the order of Gen. Lejeune, following the battle: "France, Oct. 11, 1918|— Officers and Men of the 2d Division: It is beyond my power of expression to describe fitly my admiration for your heroism. You attacked magnificently and you seized Blanc Mont ridge, the keystone of the arch constituting the enemy's main position. You advanced be- yond the ridge, breaking the enemy's lines, and you held the ground gained with a tenacity which is unsurpassed in the annals of war. "As a direct result of your victory, the Ger- man armies east and west of Rheims are in full retreat, and by drawing on yourselves several Ger- man divisions from other parts of the front you greatly assisted the victorious advance of the allied armies between Cambrai and St. Quentin. "Your heroism and the heroism of our com- rades who died on the battle field will live in his- tory forever, and will be emulated by the young men of our country for generations to come. "To be able to say when this war is finished, 'I belonged to the 2d Division; I fought with it at the battle of Blanc Mont ridge,' will be the highest honor that can come to any man. Page Markmanship Amazes Allies Thus it is that the United States marines have fulfilled the glorious traditions of their corps in this their latest duty as the "soldiers who go to sea." Their sharpshooting — and in one regiment 93 per cent of the men wear the medal of a marks- man, a sharpshooter, or an expert rifleman — has amazed soldiers of European armies, accustomed merely to shooting in the general direction of the enemy. Under the fiercest fire they have calmly adjusted their sights, aimed for their man and killed him, and in bayonet attacks their advance on machine gun nests has been irresistible. In the official citation lists more than one American mar- ine is credited with taking an enemy machine gun single handed, bayoneting its crew and then turn- ing the gun against the foe. In one battle alone, that of Belleau wood, the citation lists bear the names of fully 500 United States marines who so distinguished themselves in battles as to call forth the official commendation of their superior officers. Corps Fulfilled Every Glorious Tradition More than faithful in every emergency, ac- cepting hardships with admirable morale, proud of the honor of taking their place as shock troops for the American legions, they have fulfilled every glorious tradition of their corps, and they have given to the world a list of heroes whose names will go down to all history. Let one, there- fore, stand for the many; one name denote all, one act of heroism that stand forth brilliantly upon the victorious pages of America's participation in this world's greatest war: "First Sergeant Daniel Daly, 73d (machine gun) company, twice holder of the medal of honor, repeatedly performed deeds of valor and great service. On June 5th he extinguished, at risk of life, fire in the ammunition dump at Lucy- le-Bocage. On June 7th, while sector was under one of its heaviest bombardments, he visited all gun crews of his company, then posted over a wide section of front, cheering the men. On June 10th, single handed, he attacked enemy machine gun emplacement and captured it by use of hand grenades and his automatic pistol. On the same date, during enemy attack on Bouresches, he brought in wounded under fire. At all times, by his reckless daring, constant attention to the wants of his men, and his unquenchable optimism, he was a tower of strength until wounded by enemy shrapnel fire on June 20th. A peerless soldier of the old school, twice decorated for gal- lantry in China and Santo Domingo." "John A. Lejeune, "Maj.-Gen., U. S. Marine Corps, Commanding." Complete History of the World JVar from Beginning to End 1914 THE underlying reason for the war, as it developed in the course of the conflict, was the desire of Emperor William II, and the junk- er or military class in Germany to dominate the world. That is now the settled judgment of all unprejudiced students. Other causes were also frequently mentioned immediately after the con- flict began, as follows: 1. Commercial and industrial rivalry, espe- cially as developed between Germany and Great Britain. 2. International jealousy as to power and pre- dominance in the world. This involved — ■ 3. Excessive armaments entailing heavy bur- dens on the people and developing a spirit of — 4. Militarism and growth of military parties and military castes. 5. Conflict of Slav and Teuton races result- ing from national aspirations for territorial expan- sion; racial antagonism. 6. Desire of certain rulers to put an end to internal strife by consolidating public opinion through the agency of a foreign war appealing to the patriotism of the people. 7. Desire to preserve the status quo in Europe by preserving the neutrality and independence of the smaller nations. 8. Revenge resulting from former conflicts, such as the war of 1870 between the German states and France and the more recent Balkan wars. 9. Conflict of national ideals or "cultures." 10. Conflict of democracy as opposed to au- tocracy and bureaucracy. 11. Personal ambitions of men high in posi- tion, authority and power. 12. Persistent talk of war by yellow journals and jingoists. 13. Publication of books, like those of Gen. von Bernhardi, declaring war to be a blessing, a necessity and a great factor in the furtherance of culture and power. 14. Formation of internationl alliances pre- venting the localizing of any conflict. Murder of Archduke Ferdinand The immediate or precipitating cause of the war was the assassination in Sarajevo, Bosnia, June 28, of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, nephew of the emperor of Austria, heir to the throne of the dual monarchy and commander in chief of its army, and his wife, the duchess of Hohenberg, by a Ser- bian student, Gavrio Prinzip, aided by a number of others. It was the outcome of years of ill feel- ing between Serbia and Austria-Hungary due to the belief of the people in the smaller state that their aspirations as a nation were hampered and blocked by the German element in the Hapsburg empire. The countries had been on the verge of war several years before over the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary, and later over the disposition of Scutari and certain Albanian territory conquered in the Balkan-Turk- ish struggle. Ultimatum to Serbia Resentment in Austria-Hungary because of the murder of the heir to the throne was deep and bitter and apparently the authorities decided im- mediately to take radical measures against Ser- bia. July 23 an ultimatum was delivered at Bel- grade with a time limit of forty-eight hours. One of the demands was construed by Serbia and its protector, Russia, as amounting to interference with Serbia's independent sovereignty, a thing to which Serbia could not accede. July 25 a reply was returned which the Austrian government de- clared to be unsatisfactory. Diplomatic relations were terminated, and two days later Austria-Hun- gary formally declared war. Fighting began im- mediately on the Danube and Belgrade, the Ser- bian capital, was bombarded from the Austrian side of the Danube. In the meantime the diplo- mats and statesmen of the principal powers were exchanging telegrams in a final effort to aivert the calamity of a general war. Russia insisted that an attack on Serbia was equivalent to an affront to itself and it began to make military preparations on the western frontiers which indicated that it meant to support its views with the sword. On the last day of July, Germany, as Austria's ally, issued an ultimatum with a twelve hour limit de- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END manding that Russia cease mobilization. Russia demanded assurances from Austria t'lat were not forthcoming, and it continued to mobilize. On August 1 Germany declared war. Mobilization began at once throughout Germany. France also began to mobilize. Britain Enters Conflict Events of world-wide importance followed swiftly. Germany invaded the duchy of Luxem- burg and demanded free passage for its troops across Belgium to attack France at that country's most vulnerable point. King Albert of Belgium refused to consent on the ground that the neutral- ity of his country had been guaranteed by the powers of Europe, including Germany itself, and appealed for diplomatic help from Britain. That country, which, it was asserted, had sought through its foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, to preserve the peace of Europe, was now aroused. August 4 it sent an ultimatum to Germany demanding that the neutrality of Belgium be respected. As the demand was not complied with Britain formally declared war against Germany. Joined with Germany and Austria-Hungary in what is known as the triple alliance was Italy, but that power held that it was not bound by the terms of the compact to assist the others in what it looked upon as a war of aggression. It de- clined to be drawn into the conflict so long as its .own interests were not threatened. The sympathies of its people were openly with the British and French. Its attitude of neutrality, though disap- pointing to Germany and Austria-Hungary, was not a surprise to them nor to the rest of Europe. Before the end of the second week in August Germany and Austria-Hungary were at war with Russia, Britain and its dominions, France, Bel- gium, Serbia and Montenegro. August 23 Japan, Britain's ally in the far east, entered the fray by declaring war against Germany and attacking the fatherland's colony at Kiao-chow in China. Oct. 29 Turkey suddenly attacked Russia and as a de facto ally of Germany was itself attacked a little later by Britain and France. Thus by November 5 ten nations and their dependencies were at war, while Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Roumania, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the three Scandi- navian kingdoms were maintaining a state of armed neutrality. Portugal declared itself ready to join the allies when they should desire it to do so. Occurring as it did in midsummer, the general mobilization caused inconvenience, serious hard- ship and heavy financial loss to thousands of Americans traveling in Europe on business or for pleasure. The war upset the whole system of international credit, the railroads were monopolized for the transportation of troops and for a time the ocean steamship service was at a standstill. Tour- ists suddenly found themselves completely strand- ed, without money that could be used, without means of getting to the seaports, or if they man- aged to get there, without steamers to bring them back to their own country. The automobiles of hundreds were seized for war purposes and many more lost most of their baggage. There were in the early days numerous complaints of harsh and even brutal treatment at the hand of local officials who saw in every foreigner a spy and an enemy of their country. The resentment aroused in America by this treatment brought about a change in the attitude of officials and by the middle of August the tourists had little reason to complain of lack of courtesy or help. In response to urgent appeals for help, congress August 5 appropriated $2,500,000 for the relief of stranded Americans in Europe. The state department also did much to trace missing travelers and place them in com- munication with their relatives at home. Ameri- can ambassadors, ministers and consuls were of immense assistance to their countrymen in enabling them to escape from the war zone. No time was lost by the belligerents in getting their troops into the field. Mobilization in Ger- many proceeded like clockwork and armies were hurried both to the east and the west to attack Russia and France. The largest and strongest force was sent against France by way of Belgium, Luxemburg, Longwy and Nancy. The first real fighting took place at Liege, a strongly fortified Belgian city. It was vigorously defended and was not taken until August 17, after nearly two weeks of fighting in which the Germans sustained heavy losses. The forts were finally reduced by the heavy seige guns built by the Krupps and throw- ing shells having unprecedented destructive power. Brussels, the capital of Belgium, was entered Aug. 20 by the Germans without opposition. The Bel- gian army retreated toward Antwerp, the seat of government having been transferred to that city. Leaving the new capital to be invested by a comparatively small force, the main German armies swept on through Belgium, taking and part- ly destroying Louvain, Charleroi and other towns and cities. The progress of the armed host was attended by much of the waste inevitable in war and by many acts which the Belgians declared to be incompatible with the rules of civilized war- fare. It was claimed, for instance, that noncom- batants were shot without cause, farms and vil- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END lages laid waste without reason and architectural masterpieces wantonly destroyed. By the end of August the Germans were across the French border and were driving back the French and their British allies from one position to another. The British had sent to France an ex- peditionary force of approximately 100,000 men under Field Marshal Sir John French, and Lord Kitchener, the best organizer in the kingdom, had been made secretary of war. The allied forces were numerically inferior to the German armies in Belgium and northern France and were com- pelled to give way. The lighting was of the most desperate character, the Germans probably losing most heavily because of their policy of attacking in mass formations. Their right wing under Gen. von Kluck advanced steadily, taking town after town and position after position, until it was with- in a few miles of the outer defenses of Paris. Ger- man airplanes appeared over that city and dropped bombs into its streets, killing a few persons and doing some damage to property. Halted at the Marne September 2 the government of France was transferred to Bordeaux and on the following day martial law was declared in Paris. The Germans occupied Amiens September 1 and the next day they appeared near Chantilly. Then the thunder of the guns could be heard in Paris. The world expected that the investment of Paris would be attempted. But the Germans after having crossed the Marne river, met such strong opposition that they were suddenly compelled to fall back. They retreated under heavy attacks as far as the Aisne river, fighting vigorously, but losing many men and considerable war material. Here along the Aisne they intrenched themselves and stopped the pursuit. The fighting was desperate for days and weeks. Then the trenches were gradually extend- ed to the northwest, as a result of rival flanking operations to the sea at Nieuport, Belgium. They had previously been extended as far south and east as Switzerland and the German border. Along this long line there were innumerable skirmishes and in some cases violent battles for the rest of the year without material advantage to either side. But this was not all there was of the war, it was only the part of the struggle nearest to the greatest centers of population and news distribut- ing points and consequently it attracted the most attention. There was fighting between huge armies in East Prussia, Russian Poland, Galicia and Ser- bia and on a smaller scale there were combats in South Africa, in the South Sea islands, in China and other places where the belligerents have or had colonies or possessions. In Belgium also the struggle continued to the end of the year, the king and a remnant of his army successfully defending a portion of West Flanders bordering on the North sea. Antwerp was captured by the Germans Oct. 9, the Belgian government going first to Ostend and later to Havre, France. French government officials returned from Bordeaux December 9, and Paris once more became the capital for France. Fighting on the German left and the French right began August 7, when the French forces entered Alsace-Lorraine. There were heavy bat- tles in the vicinity of Muelhausen, which was tak- en and retaken several times by the contending armies. The Germans captured Longwy August 27 and Maubeuge September 7. On Eastern Front One of the first acts of Russia in its campaign against Germany and Austria-Hungary was to promise Poland autonomy, a proclamation an- nouncing this intention being issued by the Rus- sian commander in chief. Grand Duke Nicholas August 15. Two days later a large Russian force had advanced as far as Gumbinnen in East Prus- sia. At first the czar's troops carried everything before them in that part of Germany, driving the defenders back to Koenigsberg and Allenstein by force of superior numbers. The Germans, receiv- ing re-enforcement from the west turned on the invaders and August 29 to September 2 inflicted a heavy defeat on the Russians at Allenstein and at Tannenburg, and in a few days drove them back across the border, where the Germans were them- selves checked. While attacking East Prussia, Russia sent other heavy forces into Galicia. These captured Lem- berg September 2 and advanced as far west as the strong fortress of Przemysl, which was be- sieged, and threatened Cracow, the capital of Aus- trian Poland. They occupied the Carpathian passes and detachments of troops penetrated into Hun- gary. Battling for Warsaw On the center of the Russian line, which ex- tended from near Memel on the Baltic to a point south of Cracow, there was also heavy fighting. The Germans advancing from the direction of Breslau won a number of victories in the vicinity of Lodz, but were checked for a time. Later they made a sudden and swift advance toward War- saw and arrived within a few miles of that city. Then they were decisively defeated by the Rus- sian forces between the Vistula and the Warta rivers, narrowly escaping a complete rout. This COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END was between November 15 and 23. November 25 the Russians won another victory near Lodz. Reorganized and re-enforced the German forces, led by Gen. von Hindenburg, hero of the victories in east Prussia, made another advance toward Warsaw early in the month. They cap- tured Lodz December 6 and drove the Russians eastward. The latter made a stand along the Bzura and Vistula rivers and here many desperate en- counters took place with varying results. The Germans seemed to be determined to take War- saw at any cost and make that city their win- ter headquarters, while the Russians were equal- ly determined to prevent them from doing so. In Galicia the fortunes of war inclined first to one side and then to the other. The Austro- Hungarians had some success in defending Cra- cow and Przemysl, but they also suffered heavy reverses at some points and lost many men and guns to the Russians. Serbia Wins Victories Serbia's veterans, though somewhait exhausted from two recent wars, fought with extraordinary success the Austro-Hungarian legions which invad- ed their country. At the beginning of hostilities in August they defeated the forces of the dual monarchy at Shabats, Jedar, Visegrad and even captured Semlin. Belgrade itself held out against a long bombardment until December 2, when it was occupied by the Austrians. Outnumbered and lacking money and supplies of food and ammuni- tion, the Serbians were compelled to fall back farther and farther into the interior and for a time in the first half of this month it looked as though their power of resistance had been lost. But they suddenly turned the tables on their op- ponents, who, apparently, were overconfident, and drove them out of Serbia, recapturing Belgrade December 14. For this result the Austrian com- mander in chief, Oskar Piotorek, was suspended by the authorities in Vienna December 23. Japan Acts in Orient Japan sent an ultimatum to Germany August 15 to withdraw its warships from Japanese and Chinese waters and to evacuate the neutral terri- tory of Kiaochow by August 23. No attention was paid by Germany to the demand, and on the date named in the ultimatum Japan formally declared war on Germany and began sending land and naval forces to attack the strongly fortified port of Tsingtao at the entrance to the Gulf of Kiao- chow. Japan did this as an ally of Britain and to assist in freeing the Pacific from German cruisers, which were playing havoc with British commerce. It may also be taken for granted that the opportunity to get even with Germany for the part the fatherland played in preventing Japan from acquiring the Liaotung peninsula in 1895 after the war with China, was too good to be over- looked. Though hampered by bad weather and many natural obstacles, the Japanese besieged Tsingtao by sea and land and, v^ith some assistance from British troops, captured the stronghold November 7 without great loss of life. The ultimate dispo- sition of the neutral territory has not yet been determined. Turkey is Involved Turkey, incited by German agents, entered the war October 29 by attacking Russian ports on the Black sea. It was assisted in this enterprise by the possession of the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau, which escaped pursuing British and French warships by entering the Dardanelles and proceeding to Constantinople, where they were "sold" to the Turks. A holy war was proclaimed by the head priests in the Turkish capital against Russia, France and Britain in the hope of caus- ing uprisings among the Mohammedan inhabitants in those countries or in their colonial possessions. This hope was not realized. The Turks threatened the Suez canal and Britain was obliged to divert considerable Australian forces to defend the water- way. Britain Take,s Egypt One of the direct results of Turkey's entrance into the war was the taking over of Egypt by Britain. It was formally announced December 17 that henceforth the land of the Pharaohs would con- stitute a British protectorate. Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece remained neu- tral, though strong efforts were made to induce them to join the allies. Bulgaria, which felt that it had been robbed of the fruits of its victory over Turkey, assumed an independent attitude which caused uneasiness in Serbia, Roumania and Greece and prevented the last two named states from getting into the great conflict. December 22 it was announced that Roumania had restored to Bul- garia most of the territory taken from that coim- try under the treaty of Bukharest, and that in re- turn Bulgaria had agreed not to attack either Greece or Roumania if they entered the war. This was interpreted as meaning that at least two more of the Balkan states would soon be assisting the allies in the field. Portugal which early in the campaign announced that its sympathies were with Britain, took steps through its parliament Decem- ber 23 to give military aid to the allies. Report- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END ed German attacks upon Portuguese colonies in Africa had much to do with this decision. King Gustav V, of Sweden, King Haakon VII, of Norway and King Christian X, of Denmark, met at Malmo, Sweden, December 18 and 19 and en- tered into an agreement to act in concert should the neutrality of their respective countries be threatened or violated. Though maintaining strict neutraility, Holland was obliged to mobilize its army to guard its frontiers and was put to heavy expense in caring for the many thousands of refugees flocking into the country from Belgium. An idea of the heavy burden laid upon this peaceful nation may be gained from the fact that Queen Wilhelmina signed a bill December 23 for a war loan of $110,000,000. Warfare at Sea While the war on land was wide in extent and determined in character, that on the seas was no less so. Of battles between great and evenly matched fleets there were none, but encounters be- tween units or small squadrons were frequent and in some of these the loss of life was large. The main German fleet remained sheltered in or near the Kiel canal; that of Britain was somewhere near the coast of the united kingdom, but just where was not known, and the exact whereabouts of the French fleet was also kept a secret. Very early in the war it became evident that it was Germany's policy to depend upon floating mines and submarines to wear down the British naval strength little by little, and to a certain extent this policy was successful. The German mine laying ship, the Koenigin Louise, was sunk August 5 by a British torpedo boat destroyer; on the evening of the same day the British cruiser Amphion was sunlc when it struck a mine probably laid by the German ship. August 27 the great ocean steam- ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which was being used by the Germans as an auxiliary cruiser, was sunk by the British cruiser Highflyer on the west coast of Africa, and on the following day the German cruisers Ariadne, Mainz and Koeln were sent to the bottom by a superior British squadron near Helgoland. September 4 the British cruiser Pathfinder was struck by a mine or submarine, and September 8 the British auxiliary cruiser Oceanic was wrecked off" the coast of Scotland. Septem- ber 22 the British sustained a serious loss when the cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue were tor- pedoed and sunk in the North sea by one or more German submarines with heavy loss of life. October 28 the British navy lost its first dreadnought, the Audacious, which was sunk by a mine or was tor- pedoed near the north coast of Ireland. Battle Off Chile The first real naval battle of any consequence took place off the coast of Chile November 1, when a German squadron, consisting of the cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Leipzig, Dresden and Nurn- berg, met and sank the large British cruisers Mon- mouth and Good Hope with a loss of 1,450 men. Falkland Islands Battle December 8 the German squadron which had disposed of the Good Hope and Monmouth, and had destroyed many British merchant vessels, ap- proached the Falkland islands in the South Atlan- tic. A strong British squadron, consisting of the battle cruisers Invincible and Inflexible, the armored cruisers Carnarvon, Cornwall and Kent, the second class cruisers Glasgo^v and Bristol, the light cruiser Macedonia and the old battle ship Canopus, had arrived at Port Stanley the day be- fore and were coaling when the approach of the German war vessels was signaled. In the bat- tle which followed the German cruisers Scharn- horst, Gneisenau, Leipzig and Nurnberg were sunk with a total loss of about 2,500 men. The cruiser Dresden managed to escape by its superior speed. The British ships were under command of Sir F. C. Doveton-Sturdee. In commerce raiding the Germans were highly successful, destroying scores of British merchant vessels in various parts of the world. Their ships winning the greatest renown in this respect were the Emden, the Dresden, the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, the Karlsruhe, the Kronprinz Wilhelm and the Koenigsberg. The Emden, after destroying British merchantmen valued at between $5,000,000 and 1110,000,000 and sinking a Russian cruiser and a French destroyer, was put out of commission by the Australian cruiser Sydney at Cocos island November 10. There were other naval encounters and disasters in which the loss fell now on one side and now on the other. One of the most serious was the sinking of the British battle ship Bulwark at Sheer- ness, England, November 26, but this, after an ex- amination, was declared to be due to an internal explosion and not to a hostile act. England received a shock when German cruisers approached its east coast December 16 and bom- barded Scarborough, Whitby and Hartlepool, killing 101 persons and wounding many more. The victims were in many instances women and children, and nearly all were civilians. It was claimed by the Germans that these towns were fortified and subject to attack, but this was denied by the British, especially as to Scarborough and COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END Whitby, where there were no fortifications of any kind. Indiscriminate planting of mines in the North sea caused the sinking of many Norwegian, Swedish and Dutch and other neutral vessels, with a con- siderable loss of life. New Things in the War Some of the modern inventions figured con- spicuously even in the first months of the war. Mention had been made of deadly work of the submarines and the heavy siege guns, especially the 42 centimeter mortar used by the Germans, but an even more important part was played by the flying machines. Airplanes were used exten- sively by all the belligerents for scouting purposes, for range finding and for dropping bombs and steel arrows on the enemy. Dirigibles like the German Zeppelins were also used, but were found more vulnerable to attack. Both airplanes and dirigibles were used in dropping bombs on large cities like Paris and Antwerp, a practice con- demned in many quarters because it necessarily involved the killing of women and children and other noncombatants without inflicting any particu- lar military damage. Automobiles were found ex- tremely useful for the rapid transportation of men, war material and supplies and for ambulance pur- poses. Some were armored and equipped with rapid fire guns. Armored trains on the railroads at the front were found effective at times. Port- able wireless outfits were used as well as the tele- graph and telephone. Effect on Markets When it became evident that the great powers of Europe had decided to engage in a life and death struggle, the whole system of international credit collapsed, and but for such heroic measures as establishing moratoriums and closing the bourses and stock exchanges in all the principal countries of the world, widespread financial ruin would have been inevitable. As it was there were some seri- ous failures in London and New York before these steps were taken. From July 20 to July 30 the depreciation in the value of 387 representative securities dealt in on the London stock exchange amounted to $940,000,000, while from July 23 to July 30 the shrinkage in the capital value of 135 American stocks was $696,900,000. The cotton market suffered severely from the closing of Europe's factories, and but for loans made by the banks the growers in the United States would have been ruined. The "buy a bale of cotton" movement in August and September was intended to help the cotton men in the crisis. United States Neutral To guard against the possibility of the United States becoming involved in any way in the war, President Wilson issued a proclamation of neutral- ity August 4, and, in accordance with its terms, this country maintained a strict attitude of nonin- terference toward all the belligerents. The chief executive also asked all citizens of the country to refrain from expressions of opinion liable to arouse resentment and disorder. This request was generally commended and complied with. Con- gress, in addition to providing relief for Ameri- cans abroad, passed a number of bills designed to protect and increase commerce, such as the act providing for the admission of foreign built ships to American registry (August 16) and the act creating a bureau of war risk insurance. Decem- ber 28 the president protested against the inter- ference of Britain with American shipping. President Wilson August 5 sent a message to the heads of the warring powers offering his serv- ices as a mediator at any time that might be deemed suitable. Courteous replies were received, but no opportunity for mediation came. Free from alliances with or obligations to any of the belligerents, the United States was in a posi- tion to be of special service to all of them. A Red Cross ship was sent to Europe with hospital supplies and nurses to aid in caring for the wound- ed and ill of the combatants, and grain and flour were sent in large quantities to relieve the ex- treme destitution in Belgium. These supplies were distributed by an American committee with the advice and help of the official representatives of the United States, and while privation and suffer- ing on large scale could not be prevented, the unfortunate victims of war were saved from actual starvation. The interests of the warring countries were for the most part looked after by the ambas- sadors, ministers and consuls of this country. To meet the expenses of this extra service congress September 11 appropriated $1,000,000. 1915 IN the early part of 1915 a new Russian army advanced into East Prussia and had things its own way until German troops under Gen. von Hindenburg again came to the rescue. In a bat- tle lasting several days in the second week of February, the Russians were defeated in the Mazu- rian lake region losing, it is reported, 30,000 men in killed and wounded, and 50,000 taken prisoners. In April and May the Germans began an ad- vance into the Russian Baltic region from the COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END East Prussian border. This continued steadily, the invaders capturing Libau, an important port on the Baltic, and other places, the Russians not being able to offer effective resistance. Invasion of Russian Poland Russian Poland was invaded by Austro-Hun- garian troops in the first days of the war, but they were soon driven out by the czar's southern armies. On the last day of August the Austrians were badly defeated near Lemberg and two days later the Russians entered that city to remain there until June 22, 1915, when they were compelled to evacuate it. They advanced to the west and southwest, coming close to Cracow and occupy- ing the principal passes in the Carpathians. Cos- sacks rode down into the plain of Hungary, but their projected raid on Budapest had to be aban- doned when their comrades were forced by re- verses elsewhere to retire from the dearly bought positions in the passes. One of the most brilliant exploits of the Rus- sian forces in Galicia was the capture of the fort- ress of Przemysl. After a siege lasting seven months it surrendered March 22, with its garri- son of nearly 120,000 officers and men. Its fall had a depressing effect upon the Germanic allies and a correspondingly encouraging effect upon the Russians, who counted confidently upon the cap- ture of Cracow and the invasion of hostile terri- tory on the other side of the Carpathians. Fate willed it otherwise and the stronghold had to be abandoned when the combined German and Aus- tro-Hungarian armies began their great drive. Przemysl was recaptured by the Austrians June 3, but the victors this time found little in the way of booty and took few prisoners. In January and February, 1915, the fighting line before Warsaw was along the Bzura river, south of Rawa, thence south to the Pilica river and thence east to Ivangorod. Both sides were pro- tected by trenches and the battles, while bloody, were as indecisive as those in France and Belgium. There were numerous encounters in the course of the winter and spring along the whole line from the Baltic to Bukowina, and the names of such places as Tilsit, Kovno, Grodno, Lomza, Czenstochowa, Jaroslau, Stanislau, Kolomea, Czer- nowitz, Dukla pass, Uszok pass, Stryj, Tarnow, Mlawa and Kielce, with those of scores of others, became familiar to readers of the war news from the east. There were victories and defeats, ad- vances and retreats, following each other in rapid and bewildering succession. Disaster Overtakes Russians On the whole the Russians until May had the advantage in that they occupied nearly the whole of Galicia and Bukowina, and were on the defen- sive only on a line not far from their own frontier in Russian Poland and the Baltic region. Then disaster befell them, chiefly, it was claimed, be- cause of lack of artillery, small arms and ammu- nition. The Germans and Austro-Hungarians, possessing an abundance of these, massed huge armies under Field Marshal von Hindenburg, Field Marshal von Mackensen, Gen. von Buelow, Gen. von Woyrsch and Field Marshal Archduke Frederick against the right -and left wings of the extended Russian lines. The Germans under Hin- denburg advanced to the north of Warsaw, while the Austrians under Archduke Frederick assisted by Gen. von Mackensen made an onslaught on the Russian positions in the neighborhood of the Car- pathians in western Galicia. The "drive" was a spectacular one, especially in Galicia, where the Russians were forced to give up all their con- quered territory. They had to abandon succes- sively the Dukla and Lupkow passes, Malatow, Gorlice and Gromik, losing 100,000 men in prison- ers alone. In June they were forced to give up Stryj, Radom, Przemysl, Stanislau, Mosciska, Gro- dek and Lemberg. In July the Teuton armies had driven the Russians entirely out of Galicia and back to the last line of forts defending Warsaw. Hindenburg and his hosts came back from the west and north, and Mackensen and Woyrsch from the south and southeast. The Russians made a stand at the fortress of Novo Georgievsk on the north and Ivangorod on the south. The fortress of Ossowetz, farther to the north, which had with- stood a siege of many months, also was a rallying point for Grand Duke Nicholas"* hard pressed forces. On August 5 the Germans entered Warsaw and captured Ivangorod. Thereafter it was a contin- ual retreat by the Russians until finally they made a stand at Riga and Dvinsk far to the north in the Baltic region. For a time it was thought that the Germans would succeed in taking Riga and also reach Petrograd. Lengthening communica- tions, bad roads and some naval disasters on the Baltic prevented this outcome of the campaign. The Russian retreat was conducted skillfully by Grand Duke Nicholas until he was deposed by the czar and sent to Transcaucasia, his place being taken by the czar himself with Gen. Russky sec- ond in command. In December Gen. Russky was also relieved of his command. Russia was more successful against Turkey than COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END against her nearest European foes. Late in Decem- ber and early in January several Turkish army corps invaded the territory of Kars in the south- western part of the Caucasus. One column got as far as Ardahan to the northwest of Kars, while an- other was operating in the vicinity of Sari Kamysh. Both these columns were routed, the one at Sari Kamysh losing an entire corps consisting of 38,400 men, who were nearly all captured. The Rus- sians inflicted further losses on the Turks at Kara- Urganff and Jenikici. Turkish operations in the region of the Caucasus were thereafter of a less serious character, though 30,000 Ottomans and Kurds attempted to invade the Khori-Dilam region, close to the borders of the Caucasus and Persia, in the latter part of April. The Russians defeated them in a two days' battle, the Turks leaving 3,500 dead on the field. The Dardanelles Campaign Turkey, as a matter of fact, could not spare many troops to fight Russia, as it had its hands full in combating strong enemies much nearer home. The warships of the allies bombarded some of the fortified Turkish positions on the coasts late in December and in January, but no serious work was attempted until February 19, when a combined fleet of British and French war- ships began to shell the forts at the Aegean sea en- trance to the Dardanelles. These, after a bombard- ment lasting until February 26, were finally reduced and men were landed at Kum Kale and Sedd-el-Bahr. Efforts were made to clear" the straits of mines and to reduce the inner forts by bombarding them heavily from both sides of the Gallipoli peninsula, but it was soon discovered that this could not be done without the assistance of large forces of infantry. Before this conclusion was arrived at the British lost the battle ships Irre- sistible and Ocean and the French the battle ship Bouvet with many men. The vessels were said to have been sunk by torpedoes from shore. Strong forces of British, Australian and French troops, with the co-operation of the naval forces, succeeded in making a landing April 25, at sever- al points at the tip of the Gallipoli peninsula, suffering heavy casualties in so doing. Here they maintained themselves for a considerable time, though fiercely attacked by large Turkish forces with German officers and bombarded by heavy artillery. They inflicted a number of severe de- feats on the foe and progressed slowly in the direction of Krithia and the fortress of Achi Baba. They lost more than 40,000 men in killed, wound- ed and missing. In May the British battle ships Goliath, Triumph and Majestic were torpedoed and sunk. The British land operations on the peninsula were under command of Gen. Sir. Ian Hamilton. Gen. Liman von Sanders, a German, was in command of the Turks until he was wound- ed. Gen. H. J. E. Gouraud, commander of the French expeditionary force, was also wounded. In August a landing was made at Suvla bay and considerable ground was taken, but the move- ment eventually proved a failure, and the soldiers were re-embarked and taken elsewhere. The British and French lost more than 100,000 men in their operations on the Gallipoli peninsula. Deadlock in the West Though a number of bloody battles were fought on the western front in the course of the year, the line remained nearly as it was at the close of 1914. Here and there the British and French advanced a few miles at the cost of thousands of men killed or wounded, and at tremendous expendi- ture of ammunition; on one or two occasions the Germans did the same, but there was never any substantial gain. The fiercest conflicts of the year on this front were at Soissons, January 8-13; at Neuve Chapelle, March 10, 11 and 12; at Ypres, April 23-28, and at Champagne in the last days of September and the first days of October. Entrance of Italy Into War Italy, after remaining neutral nearly ten months, declared war on Austria-Hungary May 24, 1915. Though a member of the triple alliance, Italy con- sidered that Austria-Hungary had broken the treaty by making an unjust war on Serbia. May 4 Italy itself formally renounced the alliance after vainly attempting to secure certain concessions from Austria-Hungary. These were: The exten- sion of the Italian boundary in Trentino, a new boundary on the Isonzo, special provision for Trieste, the surrender of certain islands of the Curzolari archipelago, the abandonment of Italian claims in Albania, the recognition of the Italian possession of Aylona and the islands in the Aegean sea, which Italy occupied in its war with Turkey. Prince von Buelow, on behalf of Germany, made strong efforts to induce Italy to remain neutral, but Austria-Hungary was obstinate and nullified his work by failing to meet the Italian demands except to a very unsatisfactory extent. There was also a strong feeling among the people that the British, French and Russians were fighting the battles of democracy and defending the rights of the smaller nations. Having decided upon its course of action, Italy formally joined the triple entente on equal terms, making it a quadruple entente. Its military forces COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END of something like 1,000,000 men, which had been kept in readiness for months, were set in motion under the leadership of Lieut.-Gen. Cadorna, chief of staff, and of King Victor Emmanuel himself. The first step was to throw a strong force of in- fantry and cavalry across the Austro-Hungarian frontier and occupy a stretch of territory along the River Isonzo. They took Caporetto, Cormons, Cer- vignano and Terzo and subsequently captured Mon- falcone and besieged Goritz and Malborgeth. The Austrian positions, strong by nature, had been heavily fortified and progress was necessarily slow and costly. The Alpine regiments in the Italian army performed surprising feats in taking some of these positions by climbing the high peaks dominat- ing them. The Italians spared the towns as much as possible, as the majority of the inhabitants were of their own race, and directed their atten- tion chiefly to attacking the Austrian troops in such a manner as to do little damage to property. The fighting along the Isonzo continued with heavy losses on both sides, but with the Italians taking the initiative and going forward steadily. This was also true of their advance along Lake Garda in the direction of Trent. The Italians fought well and accomplished some remarkable feats in cap- turing difficult positions, but up to the close of the year neither side had won a decisive victory. Defeat in Mesopotamia Numerous encounters between British-Indian troops advancing up the Tigris and Euphrates val- leys in Mesopotamia and Turkish troops sent from Bagdad and Constantinople took place in the spring and later in the year. In April a Turkish force of from 15,000 to 20,000 was badly defeated near Shaiba. The battle was considered of importance in that it placed the British in possession of that part of Mesopotamia through which the projected German railway from Bagdad to the Persian gulf was to run. In July the British won another vic- tory at Sukesh-Sheyukh on the Euphrates river. They advanced until they were close to Bagdad, but in October they were attacked by a strong force of Turks and driven back as far a Kut-el- Amara. Fighting Near Suez Canal In January the Turks assembled considerable forces on the Sinai peninsula for the purpose of taking or destroying the Suez canal. They were led by Djemel Pasha and they carried with them a number of pontoons with which to cross the canal. They succeeded in crossing the desert and early in the morning of Feb. 3 attacked along the greater part of the eastern canal front between Serapeum and Toussoum. The Britsh had been advised of their approach and met them with such a deadly fire that they were compelled to flee at all points, leaving 400 killed and 600 prisoners. It was estimated that the attacking party numbered 12,000 men, who were supported by six batteries. The main attack was at Toussoum, but there was also an assault at El Kantara, which was easily repulsed. The British loss was small, while the total casualties of the Turks on the expedition were about 3,000. No further attacks were made on the canal, though it was reported that mines had done some damage to shipping. Massacres by Turks Turkish forces occupied Tabriz, capital of the province of Azerbaijan, Persia, in January, for the purpose of making it a base for attacking the Russian positions in the province of Erivan, north of the Persian border and south of Tiflis. Taking advantage of the warlike situation, bands of Kurds and in some instances Turks began making raids on the Christian population of the Urumiah dis- trict, killing hundreds. It was later estimated that between 5,000 and 10,000 persons had met their death by violence or by starvation in their efforts to escape. Safety came only when the Russians reoccupied Tabriz at the end of the month. Thous- ands were saved by taking refuge in the American mission stations under the protection of the Amer- ican flag. Uprising in South Africa In October, 1914, an uprising by German sym- pathizers, led by Col. Solomon G. Maritz, Gen. Christian R. DeWet, Gen. Christian F. Beyers and others, occured in the Union of South Africa. Gen. Louis Botha, premier, and Gen. J. C. Smuts, min- ister of defense, remained loyal and after a cam- paign lasting into January routed the rebels and captured most of their leaders. Gen. Botha then turned his attention to German Southwest Africa, and here, too, after a strenuous campaign ending July 9, 1915, he succeeded in capturing all the German military forces and taking possession for Great Britain of a territory having an area of 322,450 square miles. Other British forces were operating against the Kamerun and German East Africa, the only colonies remaining to Germany. Before the conquest of German Southwest Africa Germany had lost to Australia and Japan all its possessions in the Pacific ocean. Bulgaria Helps to Crush Serbia .Bulgaria, after making a bargain with Turkey for certain territorial and railway concessions, cast her lot with Germany and Austria and in October COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END declared war on Serbia. That country, after its successful campaign a;gainst the Austrians in 1914, was exhausted and was moreover attacked by a severe epidemic of typhus fever. It remained at peace for eight or nine months, in which time it reorganized its army to some extent and with anything like an even chance might have put up another successful fight. But Serbia had only about 200,000 men to pit against 600,000 Austrians, Ger- mans and Bulgarians, well equipped with heavy guns and an abundance of ammunition and other supplies. The result was a foregone conclusion. After a campaign of about six weeks almost the en- tire country was in the hands of the enemy, the army was scattered and tlie king and government officials were in flight. With a view of helping the Serbians, French and British troops were landed in Saloniki, Greece, early in the fall, but they were not strong enough to accomplish anything. Greece managed to keep out of the war, though subjected to great pressure on both sides. As in Bulgaria, popular sympathy seemed to be with the allies, but the royal faimilies and military chiefs were with the Germans at heart. M. Venizelos, the leading statesman of Greece and the strongest friend of the entente, was in power from June to October, but was then practically forced out by King Constantine, who did not approve of the premier's pro-ally policy. War on the Sea Jan. 24, 1915, a fight occurred in the North sea between a British squadron under command of Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty and a German squadron, the most important result of which was the sinking of the German cruiser Bluecher with heavy loss of life. No other general encounters occurred between the fleets, the bulk of the British navy being kept in reserve to the north of Scot- land, while the most powerful vessels of the Ger- man navy were sheltered in the Kiel canal or its vicinity. The cruiser Dresden, after escaping from the battle at the Falkland islands, was sunk by British warships at Juan Fernandez island in the Pacific March 14, 1915. The Karlsruhe was bottled up in the Rufiji river. East Africa, Oct. 30, 1914, and was finally destroyed July 11, 1915. The Prinz Eitel Friedrich and the Kronprinz Wilhelm took refuge at Newport News, Va., March 10 and April 11, respectively, and were interned for the remain- der of the war. Floating mines planted by the belligerents in the North Sea and other waters caused many dis- asters, especially to merchant vessels, those flying neutral flags included. They were less effective against ships of war, as these took greater pre- cautions. Activity of the Submarines Submarines played a conspicuous part in the war at sea, and also in diplomatic controversies arising from the manner in which they were used in violation of international law. German under- sea craft torpedoed and sank the British battle ships Formidable, Triumph and Majestic; the cruisers Pathfinder, Aboukir, Cressy, Hogue and Hermes; the auxiliary cruisers Oceanic and Bayano and various other naval ships. The undersea craft winning the most renown in this work were the U-29, commanded by Capt. Otto Weddingen, and the U-51, commanded by Capt. Otto Hersing. The latter submarine traveled 5,000 miles from Ger- many to the Dardanelles, where it sank two British battle ships. The former, after destroying three British cruisers and a considerable number of mer- chant vessels, was itself sunk in March by a British vessel. The French, Italians and Russians also suffered from the activities of German and Austro- Hungarian submarines. The French lost the cruiser Leon Gambetta, the Italians the cruisers yWalfi and Giuseppe Garibaldi and the Russians the bat- tle ship Panteleimon and the cruiser Pallada. On the other hand, British submarines destroyed the German cruiser Hela, the Turkish cruiser Medjidieh and battleship Messoudieh. An English undersea boat caused the destruction of Turkish craft not only in the Sea of Marmora but in the harbor of Constantinople itself. It was, however, in the destruction of merchant vessels that the submarines showed the greatest activity. There being no German freight or pas- senger vessels on the seas anywhere after the first week or two of the war, the victims of the under- sea terrors were necessarily craft belonging to other nations. Britain naturally suffered the most, its merchant fleet being the largest in the world and its ports beipg near Germany; but the other bel- ligerent countries had to pay their share of the toll. The German submarine warfare was not con- fined to attacks upon the vessels of the countries with which the empire was at war. They extended in numerous cases to vessels belonging to neutral countries, when such craft ventured into the so called "war zone," covering the waters about the coasts of the British Isles, France, Germany, Rus- sia and Italy. Scores of ships belonging to Nor- way, Sweden, Holland, Denmark and the United States were sent to the bottom in the North Sea, the English channel, the Irish sea and the Baltic, COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END in some cases without warning and without giving the crews a chance to escape with their lives. Reply to Starvation Policy Germany held that it was justified in adopting this mode of warfare, because Great Britain had blockaded German ports and was attempting to starve the people of the empire by preventing the admission of food supplies, either directly or through the Scandinavian countries and Holland. Feb. 4 the German government issued a proclama- tion declaring the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ireland, including the whole English channel, to be a war zone. "On and after Feb. 18, 1915," continued the proclamation, "every enemy mer- chant ship found in the said war zone will be destroyed without its being always possible to avert the dangers threatening the crews and passengers on that account. Even neutral ships are exposed to danger in the war zone, as, in view of the mis- use of neutral flags ordered on Jan. 31 by the Brit- ish government and the accidents of naval war, it cannot always be avoided to strike even neutral ships in attacks that are directed at enemy ships." Between Feb. 18 and July 30 more than 300 merchant vessels had fallen victims to the German submarines. This included steamers and sailing craft ranging in size from the 32,000 ton Lusitania to fishing boats. The number of noncombatants losing their lives in this warfare was nearly 2,000. When Germany issued the proclamation of Feb. 4 the United States, through Secretary of State William J. Bryan, notified Germany that "if commanders of German vessels of war should act upon the presumption that the flag of the United States was not being used in good faith and should destroy on the high seas an American vessel or the lives of American citizens, it would be difficult for the government of the United States to view the act in any other light than as an indefensible vio- lation of neutral rights which it would be very hard to reconcile with the friendly relations now so happily subsisting between the two governments. If such a deplorable situation should arise the imperial German government can readily appre- ciate that the government of the United States would be constrained to hold the imperial German government to a strict accountability for such acts of their naval authorities and to take any steps it might be necessary to take to safeguard Amer- ican lives and property and to secure to Amer- can citizens the full enjoyment of the acknowl- edged rights on the high seas." Sinking of the^ Lusitania This plain statement of the position taken by the American government apparently had no effect on the German submarine policy, as the American Page vessel Gulflight was torpedoed May 1, as a result of which two or more American citizens met their death, and the liner Lusitania, on which it was known that a large number of Americans were pas- sengers, was torpedoed and sunk off the coast of Ireland May 7. More than 1,000 persons, of whom 102 were Americans, lost their lives on that occa- sion. The world was horrified that a passenger ship carrying such a large number of noncombat- ants, including women and children, should be sent to the bottom without a moment's warning by an unseen craft. President Wilson on May 13 addressed a note to the German government calling attention to the position taken by the United States with regard to the German war zone proclamation of Feb. 4 and asking the German government to take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so ob- viously subversive of the principle of warfare for which it had previously contended. "The imperial German government," read the closing paragraph of the note, "will not expect the government of the United States to omit any word or act necessary' to the performance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment." Contention of Germany It was contended by the German government that it had the right to destroy the Lusitania be- cause it carried war supplies. It was also pointed out that Americans had been warned by advertise- ments inserted in leading newspapers in the Unit- ed States that it would be dangerous to take passage on the vessel. The claim was further made that the Lusitania was armed with concealed cannon, but this was emphatically denied by the port author- ities of New York. In the correspondence which followed Presi- dent Wilson contended that the principles of humanity and international law must be main- tained in spite of the fact, upon which Germany laid stress, that the invention of the submarine had created a new situation to which recognized international law was not applicable. The presi- dent insisted that citizens of the United States had the right to travel in safety upon the mer- chant vessels of belligerent nations and that such vessels could not be sunk under any circumstances until the safety of those on board had been as- sured. In his note dated July 21 the president, after impressing upon the German government the necessity for a scrupulous observance of neutral rights, concluded: "Friendship itself prompts it (the government of the United States) to say to the imperial gov- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END ernment that the repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of those rights must be regarded by the govern- ment of the United States, when they affect Ameri- can citizens, as deliberately unfriendly." These and other notes which were exchanged resulted in a promise by Germany that no more liners should be sunk, but the promise was not kept. Gushing and Falaba Incidents Diplomatic correspondence with Germany was also had concerning an attack April 28 by a Ger- man airplane on the American steamer Gush- ing; the torpedoing of the British steamship Fala- ba, March 27, by which at least one American life was lost; the torpedoing of the American steamship Nebraskan on the evening of May 25 and the des- truction of the American steamship William P. Frye on January 28, by the German armed cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich. In the last named case it was contended by the United States and admitted by Germany that the sinking of the ship was in contravention of the Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1828, which provided that contraband belonging to the subjects or citizens of either party cannot be confiscated by the other in any case, but only detained or used in consideration of pay- ment of the full value of the same. Germany insisted, however, that the case should be sub- mitted to the German prize court, and to this the United States refused its consent. In this connec- tion it is of interest to note that another American steamer, the American ship Leelanaw, carrying a cargo of flax, was sunk off the Orkney islands July 25 by a German submarine after it had taken off the crew. The case was held by the American authorities to be identical with that of the Wil- liam P. Frye. Germany entered a protest April 11 against the exportation of munitions of war from the United States to the entente powers. This it de- clared to be contrary to the spirit of true neutral- ity. In reply the American government maintained that any change in its own laws of neutrality which would affect unequally the relations of the United States with the nations at war would be an unjustifiable departure from the strict neutrality by which it had sought to direct its actions. In other words, the United States could not be re- sponsible for the fact that the German empire, owing to Britain's command of the sea was un- able to import war supplies from the United States. Resignation of Mr. Bryan Owing to a difference of opinion as to the proper manner of conducting the diplomatic cor- respondence with the belligerent nations and es- pecially with Germany concerning the Lusitania case, the American secretary of state, William Jennings Bryan, resigned his position June 8. He maintained that both he and President Wilson de- sired to keep the United States from becoming embroiled in the European war, but that they disagreed as to methods. Mr. Bryan was succeed- ed by Robert Lansing, counselor of the state de- partment. British interference with American commerce, not only with Germany and Austria-Hungary, but with neutral countries, by the seizure and deten- tion of ships under its "orders in council" led to much correspondence between the state department in Washington and the foreign office in London. This covered a wide and intricate field and the views expressed appeared at times to be irrecon- cilable. American exporters were annoyed by the delays they experienced in the British prize court, while British officials held that matters were expedited as much as possible and that there was less complaint from American business men and bankers than from government officials and inter- national lawyers. The correspondence was con- ducted with moderation and restraint and there was no hint that the differences could ?iot be amic- ably adjusted through the ordinary diplomatic channels. Cases calling for the exchange of notes included those of the Wilhelmina, which, with its cargo of foodstuffs destined for the civil population of Germany, was seized by Britain; of the Greenbrier, which was similarly seized with a cargo of cotton, and of the Dacia, also loaded with cotton. The last named vessel, with its cargo, was subsequently seized by the French authorities, but the owners of boat and cargo received satisfactory compensa- tion. Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, a former colonial secretary in the German foreign office, was engaged in presenting the German side of the European war to the people of this country. Some remarks made by him after the sinking of the Lusitania aroused criticism of a kind which led him to end his mission here and return to Berlin. Plots in the United States Not all of the international troubles of the Washington authorities were occasioned by deeds on the other side of the Atlantic. Many originated in the United States through the propaganda of COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END official representatives of the belligerent nations and of the machinations of self-appointed agents of these countries. Some of the mischief-makers were undoubtedly men in whom love of the land of their birth was greater than love of the land of their adoption and who thought they were doing their fatherland a service by burning or blowing up munition factories. Still others were danger- ous cranks such as come to the surface in all times of popular excitement. Early on the morning of February 2 an at- tempt was made to blow up with dynamite the international bridge between Vanceboro, Maine, and New Brunswick, Canada. Werner Horn, claiming to be a German reservist, was arrested. He admitted the act and tried to justify it on the ground that his country was at war with Canada. He was held on the technical charge of illegally transporting explosives. Frank Holt, also known as Erich Muenter, an educator, attempted to blow up the capitol in Washington, D. C, July 2, and on the following day tried to kill J. Pierpont Morgan, the financier, at Glen Cove, L. I. Both attempts were failures; the damage to the capitol was slight and Mr. Mor- gan's wounds proved not serious. The motive al- leged in each case was to put an end to the war in Europe. Holt, who seemed to be mentally un- balanced, was arrested, but on the night of July 6 he committed suicide by throwing himself to the ground floor of the Mineola (L. I.) jail from a height of twenty feet. It was learned that he had been making fire bombs which, on being hidden in vessels, would cause them to burn at sea. On October 24, two Germans were arrested near New York city while they were testing explosives in a secluded wood. One of them gave the name of Robert Fay and said that he was a lieutenant in the German army. He claimed that he came to New York at the insta;nce of the German secret service to develop means of blowing up munition ships leaving New York for Europe. Four other men were arrested and all were subsequently in- dicted for conspiracy. Charles C. Crowley, a private detective, was arrested in San Francisco, Calif., November 26, charged with plotting to dynamite ships carrying munitions to the allies. Karl Buenz and a number of other officials of the Hamburg-American line were placed on trial in New York city in November on the charge of conspiracy to deceive and defraud the United States by dispatching ships with supplies to Ger- man cruisers at sea in the early part of the war. They were found guilty and sentenced to prison terms. Dumba, Von Papen and Boy-ed Constantin Dumba, ambassador of Austria- Hungary to the United States, was understood to be particularly active in fomenting strikes in Amer- ican munition factories, but positive proof was lacking until James J. F. Archibald, an American war correspondent, was detained by the British naval authorities at Falmouth, England, when he arrived there August 30 on his way to Germany and Austria. Among the papers found on him was one from Constantin Dumba addressed to Baron Stephan Burian, the Austro-Hungarian min- ister of foreign affairs. In this letter the ambas- sador wrote, among other things: "It is my impression that we can disorganize and hold up for months, if not entirely prevent, the manufacture of munitions in Bethlehem and the middle west, which, in the opinion of the Ger- man military attache, is of great importance and amply outweighs the expenditure of money in- volved." Because of the statements made in this letter, and also because he employed as a messenger an American citizen carrying American passports, the recall of Ambassador Dumba was asked by the United States government, and after some delay the demand was complied with by the Vienna authorities. Capt. von Papen, the German naval attache, also lost standing in Washington by the publication of one of his letters found in the possession of Mr. Archibald. Referring to the sinking of the Arabic, Capt. von Papen wrote: "I always say to these idiotic Yankees that they had better hold their tongues." It was not until later in the year, or December 3, to be exact, that Capt. von Papen and Capt. Boy-ed, the German military attache, were de- clared no longer acceptable to the government in Washington. Their recall followed as a matter of course, though, as they were the personal appointees of Emperor William, their enforced departure caused a sensation both in this country and in Europe. Raids by Zeppelins Many raids by Zeppelin dirigibles were made over the eastern counties of England in the course of the year. In all 177 persons were killed and 384 injured, the victims in practically all instances being civilians, including women and children. The property loss was considerable. The most serious raid was that of October 13, when the central part of London was bombarded, with a loss of fifty- six killed and 114 injured. From a military point of view the raids were apparently of no value. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END Execution of Edith Cavell Miss Edith Cavell, an English nurse, was arrested by the Germans in Brussels, Belgium, August 5, and was executed October 12, after hav- ing been convicted of assisting fugitive British and French soldiers to escape from Belgium. Brand Whitlock, American minister to Belgium, and his assistants made every effort to save her life, but their pleas were ignored. In December, 1915, Gen. Sir John French, com- mander of the British forces in France was re- called to England, and his place given to Gen. Sir Douglas Haig. Gen. Joffre, the commander in chief of the French, was given greater authority and began to make many changes among the divi- sion generals in the field. 1916 THE outstanding features of the war in 1916 were these: The struggle for the possession of Verdun, the battle of the Somme, the naval battle on the North sea off Jutland, the great Rus- sian offensive in Galicia and Bukowina, the con- quest by the Germans of Roumania, which had entered the struggle on the side of the allies, the restoration of the Polish kingdom by Germany, and the death by drowning of Earl Kitchener, the great military organizer. Struggle for Verdun It is probable that the desire of the Germans to take Verdun was based upon the moral effect which such a victory would have, and not upon the military value of the position. It is equally probable that the same reason impelled the French to defend the fortress so heroically and success- fully. Defeat at this point would have discour- aged soldiers and citizens, though it might not have impaired the line of defense to any serious extent. Fighting in this region began February 22, and with temporary intermissions continued until the end of the year. It was continuous or nearly so until September, though the attacks of the Germans were less determined than they were before the battle of the Somme began in July. At the beginning of September the Germans were within about three miles of Verdun itself and shells fell into the city regularly. Then on September 9, the French made a swift advance and recaptured Fort Douamont, one of the strongest of the outer forts. This was followed five weeks later by another rapid advance which brought back into French possession nearly all the territory east of Verdun lost to the Ger- mans since February. How many lives were lost and how many men were maimed for life in this region in the course of the year cannot be told, as no reliable figures were made public, but the number must have been appallingly great. Prob- ably no other area of similar size on any of the battle fronts has been more thoroughly drenched in human blood. Battle of the Somme Partly to relieve the pressure on Verdun and partly to take the initiative from the enemy the British and French began a vigorous offensive north and south of the Somme river, July 1. It was preceded by a severe bombardment, which caused much havoc among the German trenches, and when the infantry moved forward the resist- ance, at least at the start, was comparatively weak. The allies advanced over a thirty mile front to a depth of a mile or more. In the course of the following weeks and months progress was made from time to time until the allies reached a line running parallel with the road between Peronne and Baupaume. In some places they even crossed that road. German defensive works, which had taken more than a year to construct and which were supposed to be impregnable, were battered down by the heavy guns of the allies until they could no longer be successfully held. Greatest Naval Battle in History What is generally recognized as the greatest naval battle in history was fought between the main British and German fleets on the North sea fifty miles west of Jutland May 31. It was by no means a decisive encounter, as both sides claimed the victory. The losses were heavier on the British side both in ships and men, but it was claimed that relatively the German loss was the more serious. The tonnage of British ships lost was 114,100, while that of the German ships lost was 63,015. In men the British lost 6,104 killed and 513 wounded, the Germans 2,414 dead and 449 missing. Both fleets returned to their bases for repairs and both in the course of a few weeks were ready for another encounter. The Germans sent out several raiding squadrons, which did some damage, but the main fleet remained in its home port and the British remained in control of the sea until the end of the war. Britain Loses Kitchener Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, British secretary of state for war, met an untimely death June 5 when he and his staff were on their way to Rus- sia. The cruiser Hampshire struck a mine or COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END was torpedoed while passing the Orkney islands. A heavy sea was running and such boats as were launched were smashed or swamped. Only a dozen men who clung to a raft escaped with their lives. Earl Kitchener went down to death with the others on the ship. His death was greatly regretted by the allies, but it was also felt that the better part of his work as an organizer had been completed. Russia Takes Initiative During the winter and spring of the year, the Russians, who, in the fall of 1915 had been driven out of Galicia, Bukowina and a part of the northwestern provinces, reorganized and re- equipped their armies, which, under the able lead- ership of Gen. BrussilofF, began a sudden offen- sive resulting in the recovery of a considerable part of the lost territory in the southwest and the cap- ture of a large number of prisoners. The whole of Bukowina was taken and in Galicia the Rus- sians came within a short distance of Lemberg before they were stopped. On the northern part of the front there was little change, the lines on both sides being thinly held while greater opera- tions were in progress elsewhere. Grand Duke Nicholas carried on a successful campaign in the Caucausus and Armenia, captur- ing among other places the important towns of Trebizond, Erzerum, Baiburt, Bitlis and Erzingan. Kut-el-Amara Disaster Two reverses were suffered by the British in the east, Maj. Gen. Charles Townshead, with a force of about 12,000 men, was forced to sur- render by the Turks at Kut-el-Amara in Mesopo- tamia April 29. Prior to that the British had to evacuate the Gallipoli peninsula, where so many lives were lost in 1915 in an attempt to get com- mand of the Dardanelles. Several attempts were made by the Turks to approach the Suez canal, but all were disastrous failures. In Africa the Germans managed to re- tain some remote sections of their colony of East Africa, but otherwise their possessions in the dark continent passed into enemy hands. In the Saloniki region the event of the year was the return of the rehabilitated Serbian army, which with French, British and Italian help, recap- tured the city of Monastir November 19. Rus- sians assisted in the Macedonia campaign and also on the front in France. Italians Lose and Win On the Austro-Italian front there were two movements of importance. One was by the Aus- trian forces which, beginning May 15, drove the Italian troops to their own frontier. The latter, under the direct command of Gen. Codorna, ral- lied and not only stopped the Austrians, but drove them back about to the line from which they had started. The other movement was by the Italians, who took the Austrian trenches along the Isonzo river and finally, on August 9, took Goritz by assault. Later they occupied a number of strong positions on the Carso plateau and threatened Trieste with capture. Roumania Meets Serbia's Fate Roumania declared war on Austria-Hungary August 27 because among other things the dual empire had violated its assurance that the war against Serbia was not inspired by a spirit of con- quest for territorial gains. Generally the people of Roumania were in sympathy with the allied cause and there was also a desire to incorporate the Roumanian part of Transylvania into the king- dom. Immediately after declaring war the Rou- manian authorities sent their armies across the Carpathians into Transylvania, where Krondstadt, Hermannstadt and various other towns were taken. This success was merely temporary, for the Ger- mans under Field Marshal von Mackensen invaded Roumania from the south, east and north and advanced with such rapidity that by December 6 they took possession of the capital, Bukharest, and all but annihilated the defending armies. Jassy was made the temporary capital of Romnania. Polish Kingdom "Restored" Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph issued a manifesto November 5 proclaiming the restoration of a hereditary monarchy and consti- tutional government for the Polish districts taken from Russia. Subsequently Archduke Carl Stephen of Austria was chosen to be regent of the new state. Venizelists Join Allies Greece was divided into two camps. The royal- ists, led by King Constantine, favored the central powers, while a large proportion of the people, with the statesman Venizelos at their head, sym- pathized with the entente. The Venizelists set up a provisional government, organizing regiments of troops and after declaring war on Germany took an active part in the fighting in Macedonia. The allies gradually deprived King Constantine of power to do harm and to enforce their demands upon him they declared a blockade of all the ports of Greece. Ireland Scene of Revolt In addition to carrying on a gigantic war against the central powers Britain was called upon to face COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END a serious revolt in Ireland. This uprising, which seems to have been fostered mainly by the Sinn Fein society and to have had assistance from cer- tain sources in America and Germany, lasted one week, or from Monday, April 24, to Sunday, May 1. It was confined to Dublin and one or two smaller places and was suppressed without great difficulty, but not until some 300 persons had been killed and more than 1,000 wounded. In Dublin 179 buildings were burned and wrecked by shells, the value of the property destroyed amounting to $15,- 000,000. About 1,000 of the insurgents were cap- tured and fifteen of the leaders were executed after trials by court-martial. Many others were sen- tenced to various terms of imprisonment. Among those executed were Padraic H. Pearse, provisional president of the proposed Irish republic, Thomas J. Clarke, Thomas MacDonagh, Joseph Plunkett, John McBride and Edmund Kent. One of the most prominent men connected with the revolt in Ireland was Sir Roger Casement, a former consular official, but a resident of Germany after the beginning of the war. He induced the German government to send him with a cargo of arms to Ireland, but on arriving there April 21, he was arrested and the vessel carrying the arms was sunk to avoid capture. He was tried for treason, found guilty and executed in Pentonville jail August 3. Zeppelins Raid England Zeppelins continued to raid England at inter- vals, confining their operations chiefly to the sea- coast counties, but occasionally getting as far in- land as London, and as far north as Scotland. They killed some 200 civilians and destroyed some pro- perty, but caused no appreciable military damage. The defensive air service of Britain showed a marked improvement and several of the raiding Zeppelins were brought to earth or sea in flames, their crews perishing under the most appalling conditions. In the course of the year more than a dozen of the German dirigible ships were de- stroyed and a number of others were wrecked by storms. On all the fronts the work of the airmen was an important feature of the year's campaigns. Their aid in directing artillery fire was invaluable and their raids on enemy bases, railroad and ammuni- tion depots were in numerous cases successful. Among the noted airmen who lost their lives were Immelmann, Wintgens, Mulzer and Boelke, Ger- mans, and Chapman, Rockwell and Prince, Ameri- cans fighting for France. French and Belgian Deportations In April and May some 25,000 French women and girls were forcibly taken from their homes in Lille, Turcoing and Roubaix and sent by the Ger- man authorities to work in the harvest fields and factories in the Aisne and Ardennes districts. In October the German authorities in Belgium began forcibly removing able-bodied men from their homes and sending them into Germany to do such work as might be assigned to them. This raised an outcry not only throughout Belgium but through- out the civilized world, but it had no effect on the policy adopted by Germany, and defended by it as necessary to counteract the evil effects of un- employment. President Wilson, in a note present- ed to the German foreign office November 29, strongly protested against these deportations. Execution of Capt. Fryatt One of the painful events of the year was the execution in Bruges, Belgium, July 27, of Capt. Charles Fryatt, commander of a British steamship. He had been captured with his ship and was tried on the charge of attempting, though a noncom- batant, to ram a German submarine. He was found guilty and shot. "Tanks," or armored tractors, made their ap- pearance in the battle of the Somme and proved successful. It was a British invention which took the Germans by surprise and caused no little com- motion among them. The so called tanks or land ships ran over all kinds of obstacles and even crossed trenches. Ordinary rifles and machine guns were ineffective against them. Merchant Marine Suffers Heavily Germany continued its submarine warfare not only against the merchant vessels of the entente powers but against those of neutral countries as well. Norway, which is a maritime nation, was a heavy loser, and at one time when its coasts were virtually blockaded by the underwater boats it looked as though friendly relations with Ger- many might have to be discontinued. Complaint was general that even when the crews of the ves- sels destroyed were given time to take to small boats they were often left far out at sea, exposed to great peril and hardship. It was also charged that in numerous cases, contrary to the promises made by the German government, merchant and passenger vessels were torpedoed without warning, involving in some instances a considerable loss of life. The operations of the German "U" boats extended from the Arctic ocean to the Mediter- ranean, and from the eastern to the western boundary of the Atlantic. Some German and COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END Austrian vessels were sunk by entente submarines, but they were comparatively few, owing to scarcity of Teutonic ships venturing out upon the seas. Break with Germany Near Germany's submarine policy which came near causing a break in the friendly relations of the empire with the United States after the sinking of the Lusitania May 7, 1915, again brought about a critical situation when on March 24, 1916, the French channel steamer Sussex was torpedoed without warning. About eighty of the 325 passen- gers aboard were killed or wounded, the victims including a number of Americans. The circum- stances were patiently investigated and it was established beyond a doubt even to the satisfaction of the German authorities that the channel steamer had been attacked without warning. Feeling ran high and on April 19 President Wilson appeared before congress in joint session, explained the situation in detail and announced that unless Ger- many changed its method of dealing with passen- ger and freight vessels the American government would have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the German government. Germany's response to the speech was an an- nouncement made May 4 that no more merchant vessels would be "sunk without warning and with- out saving human lives." The reply was accepted as satisfactory and the crisis ended, though numer- ous cases arose after that requiring investigations by the agents of the American government as to whether the promise made to it by Germany had been kept or disregarded. The torpedoing by a German submarine of three British, one Norwe- gian and one Dutch vessel off the Rhode Island coast October 8 did not improve the situation. Congress Sustains President Beginning early in January there was a move- ment among certain members of the house of representatives and the senate in Washington to warn Americans to refrain from traveling on armed merchantmen or liners belonging to the European belligerents. Resolutions to this effect were introduced by Congressman Jeff McLemore and Senator Thomas P. Gore, but were strongly opposed by the president and those who believed with him that American rights should not be abridged in any degree. Both the resolutions were defeated by decisive majorities. Germany Offers "Peace" On December 12 Germany in a formal note offered to enter into peace negotiations, but did not specify any terms. The offer was practically rejected by the entente powers, which had been making extensive preparations to carry on the war with greater energy. The cabinets of Britain, France and Russia had been reconstructed with a view to concentrating power in few hands and thus obtaining quicker and more decisive action. In Britain Herbert H. Asquith was succeeded as prime minister by David Lloyd George, who in a speech delivered in the house of commons Decem- ber 19 declared there would be no peace except on the basis of reparation, restitution and guaranties by Germany. In France Gen. Nivelle was made commander in chief and Gen. Joffre was created marshal of France. Wilson Suggests Pacific Step President Wilson in a note dated December 18 and addressed to all the belligerent nations asked them to indicate precisely on what terms they would make peace. Deutschland Visits America Germany partially evaded the allies' blockade by sending to the United States a merchant sub- marine, the Deutschland, commanded by Capt. Paul Koenig. The craft brought a valuable cargo of dyestuffs and other articles, and took back rubber and various articles badly needed in the father- land. Two trips were made, one in July and August, and the other in November and Decem- ber. Another merchant submarine, the Bremen, left Germany between the first and second voyages of the Deutschland, but waj lost at sea. Plots against the neutrality of the United States were not so numerous or successful as in 1915, prior to the recall of the Austrian ambassa- dor and the German military and naval attaches. There were a number of suspicious explosions in munitions factories and an explosion and fire in Jersey City, N. J., July 30, causing a loss of about $20,000,000, which was attributed to the enemies of the entente powers. Campaign for National Defense National defense or "preparedness," as it was popularly called, occupied the attention of the public and congress during a large part of the year, as it did to some extent in 1915. The con- troversies with Germany and Great Britain and the Mexican trouble made the military weakness of the United States more apparent than ever, and there was a strong demand that the country should be placed in a position that would defy aggres- sion from any quarter. President Wilson made a tour of the east and middle west in January and February advocating the formation of a reserve COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END of 500,000 citizen soldiers to assist the regular army. The secretary of war, Lindley M. Garrison, advocated larger national forces, holding that be- cause of constitutional limitations no reliance could be placed upon state troops in time of emer- gency, no matter how efiBcient they might be as soldiers. The president disagreed with this view, and the result was that Mr. Garrison resigned February 10. He was succeeded by Newton D. Baker of Cleveland, Ohio. In May, June and July elaborate preparedness parades were held in some of the chief cities of the country with a view of impressing upon con- gress the earnestness of the people's desire for a stronger national defense. The largest of these parades took place in New York city May 13 and in Chicago June 3. In each city more than 125,- 000 persons were in line. Congress responded by passing laws for in- creasing the size and efficiency of the army and the navy, for a larger number of cadets at West Point and Annapolis, and for stronger fortifica- tions on the coasts. Appropriations amounting to nearly $700,000,000 for these and similar pur- poses were passed. The bill for increasing the navy was especially noteworthy. It provided for the building of ten first class battle ships, six bat- tle cruisers, ten scout cruisers, fifty torpedo boat destroyers, sixty-seven submarines and various oth- er ships. It also provided for a government armor plant and additional navy yards, as well as for the extension of the yards already in existence. 1917 NATURALLY, from the American point of view, the entry of the United States into the war was the great outstanding feature of 1917. The chances are that history will so record it, for it proved to be the decisive factor in the struggle. Aside from that history will note that the year 1917 marked the departure of America from its traditional policy of political isolation from Europe. It will also note that is was not a volun- tary but a forced departure, due to the total dis- regard shown by Germany for American rights on the seas. Second in importance only to the entrance of America into the war was the revolution in Rus- sia. Some might even rank it first because of its unexpected and sensational features. That the United States would eventually take a hand in the struggle between autocracy and democracy in Europe was more or less of a foregone conclu- sion in 1916, but that the czar of Russia should be deposed was not foreseen until Nicholas II. had actually lost his crown and was a prisoner. Pro-German Greek King Ousted In glancing back over the developments in 1917 there are a number of other things that stand out with some distinctness. One is the forced abdi- cation of the pro-German king of Greece, Con- stantine, and the substitution in his place of his son Alexander as nominal and M. Venizelos as the virtual ruler of the nation. Another is the capture of Jerusalem by the British — an event not of great military importance, perhaps, but of tre- mendous sentimental and moral significance. The taking of Bagdad and a large portion of Mesopo- tamia by the British, considered in connection with the success of the Palestine campaign, was also a matter of moment in that it vastly strengthened the position of the allies in the Moslem world — a world in which the Germans were ambitious to rule, and in which before the war they were rapid- ly obtaining pre-eminence. In December, 1916, Germany and her allies made a peace offer without giving definite terms, but referring in boastful language to their victor- ious armies. That offer was rejected by the allies in January, 1917, with emphasis. Wilson's Peace Address President Wilson appeared before the senate on the 22d of that month and made his famous "peace without victory" address, in which he ad- vocated a world league for peace. His views, were received sympathetically in most quarters, though the allies pointed out that no peace based on the condition of things existing before the war could be durable and that as matters stood it would be a virtual victory for the Germanic alli- ance. This address was the last effort made by the president to bring peace to the world without resorting to armed force. He could see then that America was rapidly being forced into a position where no argument save that of the sword would avail. It was also the last appeal for peace made by any person commanding respectful attention save that issued by Pope Benedict XV. on August 15, to which President Wilson himself was obliged to reply firmly in the negative. He had then come to the conclusion that no peace treaty with the autocratic rulers of Germany would be worth the paper it was written on and that any peace to compensate for the huge price paid by the demo- cratic nations of the world must be peace based on victory over autocracy. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END German Peace Resolutions On July 19 the German reichstag adopted reso- lutions in favor of peace on the basis of mutual understanding and lasting reconciliation among the nations. The resolution sounded well, but they were accompanied by expressions indicating that Germany in this war was the victim of aggres- sion, and that it approved the acts of the govern- ment. They referred to the "men who are defend- ing the fatherland," to the necessity of assuring the freedom of the seas and to the impossibility of conquering a united German nation. The allies, which with nearly all neutral nations were con- vinced that the German government was the real aggressor and that the freedom of the seas had never been restricted except by Germany herself, were not in a mood to accept this as a serious move toward peace. The resolutions figured large- ly in German internal politics, but elsewhere they were without effect. There were a number of peace conferences in Stockholm, but as the parties concerned were social- lists of an extreme type, and others holding views usually classed as anarchistic, no serious attention was paid to them. The "pacifists" in the allied and neutral countries were more or less active, but received little encouragement. Their arguments did not appeal to thinking or patriotic people. Within a week after President Wilson's "peace without victory" speech before the senate the Ger- man government replied to it by announcing that beginning on February 1 it would carry on un- restricted submarine warfare in certain extensive zones around the British Isles, France and Italy. It would, however, graciously permit the United States to use a narrow lane to Falmouth with one sailing a week, providing the American ships were painted red and white and carried various sorts of distinguishing marks. Bernstorff Dismissed This program was, of course, in direct viola- tion of all the promises made by Germany to the United States, and President Wilson acted prompt- ly. On February 3 at a joint session of the house and senate he announced that Ambassador Berns- torff had been given his passports and that all diplomatic relations with the Teuton empire had been severed. Mr. Wilson asked the co-operation of other neutral nations in ending the submarine depredations, but for various reasons none of them at that time could see their way clear to do so. The United States senate approved the ac- tion of the president in breaking with Germany by a vote of 78 to 5. The five voting in the negative were Kirby, Vardaman, Gronna, Works and LaFollette. On February 26 the president appeared before congress and asked for formal permission to arm American merchantmen so that they could pro- tect themselves from attacks by submarines. This permission was promptly granted by the house, which appropriated $100,000,000 for the arming and insuring of American merchant ships. In the senate, however, a similar measure was defeated by means of a filibuster led by Robert M. LaFol- lette of Wisconsin. This was made possible by the rules of the senate, which did not provide for clo- ture. Congress expired by limitation March 4, but the senate was called into extra session and within four days it adopted a cloture rule acceptable to the president. It may be said at this point that Senator La- Follette's anti-war activities and especially some of his utterances in public speeches outside the senate led to a demand for his expulsion from that body. An investigation was ordered, but no action was ever taken. Deeming himself authorized by existing law to arm merchantmen defensively. President Wilson gave formal notice March 12 that American ships traversing the barred areas of the seas would car- ry armed guards for the protection of the vessels and the lives of the persons on board. Ruthless "U" Boat War On In the meantime the German submarine com- manders were doing their best to carry out the policy of sinking all ships found in the barred zones without warning and without taking any steps to insure the safety of crews or passengers. On March 18 it became known that the American steamers City of Memphis, Vigilancia and Illinois had been sunk in this manner and that at least fifteen lives had been lost. It was felt that action could no longer be delayed and a special session of congress was called for April 2. The national lawmakers assembled on that day, and in the eve- ning President Wilson delivered a message ask- ing that war be declared against Germany. In this message, which has become historic, he said that armed neutrality had proved to be impracticable and that in the end it would draw the country into the war without its having the status of a belligerent. "With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragical character of the step I am taking," he said, "and of the grave responsibility which it involves, but in unhesitating obedience to what I deem my constitutional duty, I advise that the con- gress declare the recent course of the imperial German government to be in fact nothing less COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END than war against the government and people of the United States; that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it and that it take immediate steps not only to put the country in a more thorough state of defense, but also to exert all its power and employ all its resources to bring the government of the German empire to terms and end the war." Congress Votes War April 6 Congress was overwhelmingly in favor of the course advised by the president and on April 6 a joint resolution was adopted formally declaring the existence of a state of war between the United States of America and the imperial German gov- ernment. Only six senators and fifty representa- tives voted in the negative. After taking this mo- mentous step, congress, urged by the president, passed measures providing for the immediate crea- tion of a national army and the increase to war strength of the national guard, the marine corps and the navy. It passed laws against espionage, trading with the enemy and the unlawful manu- facture and use of explosives in time of war. It provided for the insurance of soldiers and sailors, for priority of shipments, for the seizure and use of enemy ships in American harbors, for conserv- ing and controlling the food and fuel supply of the country, for stimulating agriculture, for in- creasing the signal corps of the army, especially in the matter of aviation, for extending additional credit to foreign governments, for issuing bonds and for providing additional revenues for war ex- penses by increasing old and creating new taxes. War Budget is $21,390,730,940 Between April 2, the day when the extra ses- sion began, and October 6, the day it adjourned, the 65th congress passed all these measures and others of less importance. Altogether it appro- priated or authorized the expenditure of $19,321,- 225,208.41. Including the amount appropriated at the second session of the 64th congress the total reached the enormous sum of $21,390,730,940.46. Most of the acts of the new congress were accepted with approval by the people of the country as a whole, though objection was made to certain fea- tures of the taxing policy, which were deemed by many to be unfair and confiscatory. At the regular session of congress beginning December 3, President Wilson asked for a declara- tion of war on Austria-Hungary, and this ac- tion was taken. This was received with especial favor by Italy, which had been urging the United States for some time to take the step. War to Victory, U. S. Slogan Once having determined its course, the United States bent all its energies toward prosecuting the war to a successful conclusion. Its first step was to increase its armed strength by the creation of a new national army through the selective draft system and by securing as many volunteers as pos- sible for the national guard, the marine corps and the navy. The enlistments were numerous, but it was soon seen that without the selective draft satis- factory results would not have been achieved. To provide for officers for the new army, which was capable of almost indefinite expansion, training camps were established in various parts of the country. The course was about three months, and as two series of these training schools were held thousands of promising officers were turned out. Men between the ages of 21 and 30 inclusive registered June 5 under the act of May 18 provid- ing for the temporary increase of the military establishment of the United States. The total num- ber thus inscribed was 9,683,445. The quota of men to be supplied by each state and territory was determined according to its population. The total number to be summoned on the first call was fixed at 687,000. The official drawing of num- bers took place in Washington July 20. The men whose numbers brought them within those subject to its first call were then summoned, examined and either accepted or rejected. Training a Great Army In the meantime sixteen great cantonments had been constructed at convenient points in the coun- try and on September 5 the first contingents of the new troops were sent to them to begin training. Soon thereafter half a million men or more were in these camps, and in spite of some drawbacks, such as lack of sufficient guns and other equip- ment, rapid progress was made in making soldiers out of them. Only a few companies of men hav- ing special technical qualifications were sent from the national army to join the American expedition- ary forces in France in 1917. Mobilization camps were established for the national guard in the south, and there, with the exception of those sent to France, they underwent intensive training. The guardsmen had much to do early in the spring and summer in the way of guarding bridges, canals, tunnels and other points where German plotters could work mischief. They did excellent work and were highly commended by the authorities. The naval training stations and the regular army mobilization camps were also scenes of great and continued activity. The COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END middle west was an especially fruitful field in pro- ducing candidates for the navy and the marine corps. The mobilization of the national guard by President Wilson was proclaimed July 9. Great activity was also shown in building up the aviation service of the country. Congress made liberal provision for the manufacture of airplanes and the training of aviators. The invention of the Liberty motor was hailed as a distinct triumph in the field of aviation. This motor, or one similar to it, was adopted for use in the trucks with which the army was supplied. Many college and univer- sity men entered the aviation service. Hoover as Food Administrator But increasing the military strength of the country was only one step, though a most important one. The conservation of the country's material resources, especially its food and fuel, and their proper distribution, was another step. Congress supplied the needed legislation and President Wil- son provided the administrative machinery. He appointed Herbert C. Hoover as food adminis- trator August 19 and on August 23 Dr. Harry A. Garfield was appointed fuel administrator. The food administration was throughout the year ex- tremely active in impressing upon the people the necessity of economy in the preparation and use of foods. To save wheat and meat for the allies wheatless and meatless days were established in homes, hotels and restaurants, with excellent re- sults. The whole country was placarded with cards and posters, proclaiming the value of food economy as a factor in winning the war. Through the council of national defense, its advisory commission and its numerous committees an immense amount of work was done in classify- ing and making available the country's resources for defense and war. It was especially active in providing and standardizing munitions, in the pur- chase of army supplies, in stimulating inventions and research, and in co-ordinating the work of the states and departments. It enlisted women in the cause of national defense, and in every way promoted the objects for which it was created. Some of the leading business and professional men of the country devoted all their time and energy, without cost to the government, to the na- tional cause. Creation of the Shipping Board To counter-act the ravages of the submarine warfare the United States undertook to provide enough merchant tonnage to supply the transporta- tion needs of the allies as well as of the United States. This was to be accomplished through the agency of a shipping board, created by the act of September 7, 1916. Maj. Gen. George W. Goeth- als, the builder of the Panama canal, was made manager of the construction department and Wil- liam Denman chairman of the board. Unfor- tunately irreconcilable differences of opinion arose between them as to the policy of building steel or wooden ships, and the result was that in July President Wilson accepted the resignations of both men. Edward N. Hurley became chairman, Charles Piez manager of the Emergency Fleet Cor- poration and Edward F. Carry the director of the department of operations. Issues of Liberty Bonds To meet in part the tremendous expense in- volved in creating an adequate army and navy, in carrying on the war and in making loans to the allies, the secretary of the treasury issued bonds, the first series bearing interest at the rate of 31/2 per cent and the second series 4 per cent. The loans were known as "liberty loans" and the bonds as "liberty bonds." The first bonds were offered May 2 and the second series October 1. The allotments were $2,000,000,000 and $3,000,- 000,000, respectively. The subscriptions for the 3V2 per cent bonds amounted to $3,035,226,850 and those for the 4 per cent bonds to $4,617,532,- 800. The secretary of the treasury, however, ac- cepted only 50 per cent of the oversubscription on 4 per cent, bringing the total to $3,808,766,150. Besides being called upon for subscriptions to bonds, the people of the country were asked to contribute to the American Red Cross, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Knights of Colum- bus, the Salvation Army and various other agencies doing relief work in Europe and America, or pro- viding comforts for the soldiers at the training camps and in the field in France. To the Red Cross more than $100,000,000 was given in May and June and additional millions in December. In November $35,000,000 was raised in a week for the Y. M. C. A. fund. All the agencies named were active. The Red Cross, after creation by President Wilson of a war council under the chair- manship of Henry P. Davison, was especially active in France, Italy and Russia, and brought relief to unnumbered thousands. Work of the Navy When America entered the war the United States navy became active. Its operations were veiled in more or less secrecy, but it was known that it relieved ihe other allies of patrolling the greater part of the seas outside the submarine area, and that within that area it had a fleet of des- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END troyers under command of Vice-Admiral William S. Sims, chasing submarines — and destroying some of them — and acting as convoys to troopships and merchantmen. In this duty it met with some losses. The destroyer Cassin was torpedoed October 16, one man being killed and five wounded, but was not sunk. The patrol boat Alcedo was sunk November 6 with the loss of twenty-one lives. The destroyer Jacob Jones was torpedoed and sunk December 6 with a loss of sixty-four lives. The destroyer Chauncey was sunk in a collision November 19 and a score of men were drowned. The transport Antilles was sunk October 17, when it was homeward bound, and seventy lives were lost. The transport Finland was torpedoed October 28, but not sunk, though nine lives were lost, due to a panic on board the ship. The Expeditionary Force It was announced May 14 that an expeditionary force of about one division of regulars under command of Maj.-Gen. John J. Pershing would be sent to France. Gen. Pershing had become well known in connection with the expedition to Mexico, and the choice was a popular one. He arrived in England June 8, and in France June 13. The first contingent of troops reached France June 27, and the second contingent a little later. It afterward became known that the departure of the troops had been communicated to Germany and submarines were lying in wait for the transports. Only the vigilance of the American destroyers convoying the transports prevented the sinking of one or more of them with heavy loss of life. The first arrivals in France were at once given inten- sive training in the methods of modern warfare, their teachers being veteran French officers and troops. Their numbers were augmented from time to time until all branches of the service were represented. The commander of the American forces in France was raised to the full rank of general by act of congress. First American Army Casualties To give the troops actual experience in trench fighting, a number of them, including artillery and infantry, were sent into a part of the line held by the French. Here the first casualties occurred. On November 3, a German raiding party attacked a trench occupied by the Americans, killing three, wounding five and taking eleven prisoners. A num- ber of other men were killed or wounded by shell fire. What casualties the Germans suffered was not learned, as they were able to carry off their dead and wounded. While American sailors and soldiers were fac- ing the enemy on sea and on land, the people at home were menaced in various ways by German plotters. Some of these were alien enemies and others, citizens of the United States of German birth or descent. To recount all the acts of vio- lence committed and attempted would require much more space than is here available. They were mainly in the direction of destroying munition plants, bridges, food depots, ships and everything of military value. Hundreds of lives were lost through explosions, undoubtedly caused by per- sons acting for Germany, either officially or of their own accord. Even Ambassador Bernstorff himself was concerned in some of these plots in- volving bribery and violence. Other plots took the form of pacifist propaganda, lies about the liberty bonds and the Red Cross work, strikes and general obstruction to the government's war work. In this campaign the German agents were assisted by the majority of the socialists and by the notori- ous Industrial Workers of the World, many of whose leaders were arrested September 5 in vari- ous parts of the United States. Zimmermann and Luxburg In connection with the underground work of the German government the most sensational dis- closures were made by the state department. Every- thing made public was capable of documentary proof, and the enemies of the United States soon learned that it was inadvisable to deny anything coming from this source. The revelation Febru- ary 28, of the attempt by the German foreign secretary. Dr. Alfred Zimmermann, to cause Mexi- co and Japan to make war on the United States, helped materially to bring about the break in the relations between this country and Germany. An- other revelation which aroused world-wide interest, was the publication of the famous Luxburg cables from Buenos Aires to the Berlin foreign office ad- vising that Argentine ships be sunk without trace ("spurlos versenkt") and speaking of the acting minister of foreign affairs in the republic as a "notorious ass and Anglophile." Because of plottings similar to those recounted, but chiefly because of the feeling of animosity aroused by Germany's continued violation of in- ternational law, and the laws of humanity through her submarine campaign, the following nations in 1917 followed the example of the United States in formally declaring war on Germany: Cuba, Panama, Brazil, Greece, Siam, Liberia and China. In addition the following severed diplomatic rela- tions with Germany: Bolivia, Guatamala, Hon- duras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Costa Rica, Peru and Uruguay. Thus at the end of the year nineteen COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END countries with a combined population of nearly 1,300,000,000 were arrayed against Germany, Aus- tria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria, with a popu- lation of a little more than 142,000,000. The Russian Revolution With regard to the upheaval in Russia, the facts are briefly these: The duma was dissolved by the czar March 11, but on the following day it declared that the government had been over- thrown, and that a new democratic government was in process of formation. In the town of Pskoff on March 15, Czar Nicholas was forced to abdi- cate, and was imprisoned in his place at Tsarskoe- Selo. Later he was sent to Tobolsk. The new government at first was in the hands of such well known men as Michael V. Rodzianko, Prince George E. Lvoff and Prof. Paul N. Milyoukov. It soon developed, however, that the more radical ele- ments of the revolutionists were in control of the army and the working classes in the cities, and that these were determined to quit the war and make peace according to their formula of "no an- nexations and no indemnities." Because the new government did not stick close enough to this formula, but preferred to keep faith with the allies by refusing to make a separate peace, it was compelled in May to give way to a new ministry, in which Alexander Keren- sky, a socialist, was the ruling spirit. Recognizing the difficulties the Russian democracy had to deal with, the United States sent several important mis- sions to Petrograd to give such assistance as might be deemed possible. One of a political nature was headed by Former Senator Elihu Root; an- other was an engineering commission led by John F. Stevens, and a third was a Red Cross mission led by Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago. On July 20 Kerensky became premier, and in spite of increasing insubordination in the army continued in the saddle for some weeks. One of the incidents of his career as the head of the state was the proclamation on September 14 of Russia as a republic. Kerensky, however, was not radical enough for the extremists, and on November 7 he was deposed by a counter-revolu- tion led by Leon Trotsky and Nikolai Lenin. Later Lenin was made premier and Trotsky foreign min- ister, and they promptly made overtures to Ger- many for an armistice. This was granted and peace negotiations were under way in December. The country was in a state of anarchy, with Finland, the Ukraine, Siberia and other districts proclaim- ing their independence, and with the Cossacks fight- ing the bolsheviki, as the ruling extremists called themselves. A constituent assembly was elected November 24-26, but the bolsheviki, fearing that they could not control it, threatened forcibly to prevent its holding a session. Constantine Deposed Constantine I., king of Greece, was deposed by the protecting powers — France, Great Britain and Russia — June 12, and his place on the throne was given to his second son. Prince Alexander. The provisional government led by Eleutherios Venizelos was merged with the new administra- tion in Athens, and war was formally declared on the Teutonic powers and their allies. Constan- tine, it was shown, had contemplated attacking the allies in Macedonia from the rear, and it was apparent that his removal from authority came none too soon. Many Submarines Sunk In their ruthless submarine warfare the Ger- mans had less success than had been predicted by them. The sinking of merchant vessels were seri- ous enough and for a time constituted a menace to the food and other importations of Britain, but after the United States entered the war and sent its fleet of destroyers and submarine chasers across the Atlantic for patrol work, the danger gradually lessened. Many submarines were sunk in the course of the year and their operations were gradually restricted, until it was felt that there was no longer any danger that they would be- come a decisive factor in the war. Naturally the British were the heaviest losers in this species of warfare, but other nations suf- fered severely, especially seafaring Norway, which thus lost about one-third of her vessels and some 700 sailors murdered. Some of the actions of the German submarines and raiders were so atro- cious as to arouse the resentment of the nation to the verge of war, even in the face of tremendous odds. No naval battles of importance were fought in 1917. All the engagements were between destroy- ers and other light craft. Germany continued to send air raiders across to Britain, to bombard the coast towns and in- terior cities, including London. No appreciable military losses were caused, but many innocent lives were taken. The announced purpose of the British to retaliate in kind was generally approved, it being felt that Germany must be given a dose of her own medicine. Events on the Fighting Fronts On the fighting fronts in Europe, Asia and Africa the developments in the course of the year COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END were numerous and important. Beginning with Africa, it may be noted that the last vestige of German authority on that continent was extin- guished by the forces under Gen. Vandeventer, when on December 1 they had cleared East Africa of the enemy. Germany at the present moment has not a single colony left in the world. In Mesopotamia, the British under Gen. Freder- ick Stanley Maude, recaptured Kut-el-Amara toward the end of February, and on March 11 entered the city of Bagdad, which had been the goal of Gen. Townshend's ill-fated expedition the previous year. They drove the Turks far beyond that city, and joined hands with the Russians who had come down through Persia. Gen. Maude died November 18. Capture of Jerusalem British forces from Egypt carried on a suc- cessful campaign against the Turks and Germans in Palestine. In January they routed the enemy troops at Rafa, and on March 26 inflicted a severe defeat on them in the vicinity of Gaza. Under the able leadership of Gen. E. H. Allenby, the Brit- ish pressed on toward the north, taking Beer- sheba October 31, Gaza November 7, Jaffa Novem- ber 17 and Jerusalem December 11. On Christ- mas day it was announced that Bethlehem had also been taken by the British. This successful cam- paign in Palestine appealed strongly to the entire Christian world. Austrian Invasion of Italy On the Italian front there were two swift changes in the course of the year. In May and again in August Gen. Cadorna inflicted severe de- feats on the Austrians on the Carso and Bainsizza plateaus. Then in October, heavy Austrian and German forces under the leadership of Field Mar- shall von Mackensen attacked the northen part of the Isonzo line and, aided by the treacherous weak- ening of certain Italian troops at Caporetto, drove Gen. Cadorna's forces first to the line of the Tag- liamento, and then to the line of the Piave. Here the Italians made a stand and were able to hold back the enemy in the face of the most furious attacks, especially in the mountainous region toward the northwest, where the Austrian forces made desperate efforts to force their way down to the plains, and turn the left flank of the Italian lines. The Italians lost heavily in men and material during the retreat, but the forces were reorganized and re-enforced by French and British infantry and artillery. On the east front the Russians made their last advance July 1, when in eastern Galicia they cap- tured Brezazany, Halicz, and other places with some 30,000 prisoners. After that the Russian armies refused to obey their commanders, and it was an easy matter for the Germans to recover the lost ground and advance still farther. In the early part of September the Germans crossed the Dvina river, and Riga soon fell into their hands, together with certain islands in the Baltic. Then came the truce and the peace negotiations. In Macedonia little was accomplished by the allies. Gen. Sarrail, the commander in chief, was recalled in December. Fierce Struggles on West Front Fierce and bloody fighting continued on the western front throughout the greater part of the year. The advantage in the main was with the British and the French, who maintained the initia- tive and delivered many telling blows. The Ger- mans were not able to do much in the way of re- taliation, though they won a measure of success against the British at the extreme northern end of the line in Belgium and on November 30th at Cambrai. On the other hand the British won notable victories in the vicinity of Lens, Arras and along the Ypres-Menin road. One of the not- able features of the fighting was the capture by Canadian troops of Yimy ridge in April. Gen. Sir Julian Byng won a brilliant victory by a surprise attack in the Cambrai sector November 20-22. He took a considerable area of fortified territory and about 10,000 prisoners, but the effect of the triumph was offset to some extent by the successful coun- ter-attack made by the Germans a few days later. The French also carried out a number of success- ful offensives. On April 16 they took the Ger- man first and second lines on a twenty-five mile front in the Soissons-Rheims sector, and captured 20,000 Germans, together with about seventy-five heavy guns. On May 4 they captured Craonne and the adjacent territory. They fought success- fully along the Chemin des Dames, on the Cali- fornie plateau, at Cerny and many other places. All the efforts of the German crown prince to advance in the Verdun sector proved costly fail- ures. On October 23 the French smashed through the German lines north of the Aisne to a depth of more than two miles, taking the strong-holds of AUemant, Vaudesson, Malmaison fort and Chavignon. In the air the year was one of increased activity. Numberless raids were made on all the fronts, and it became increasingly apparent that to be successful modern armies must be supple- mented by large aerial forces. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END Foreign Missions to America Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Russia, Japan, Roumania, Serbia and other countries sent some of their distinguished men to the United States on military and political missions. Some of them after completing their work in Washing- ton, made extended tours through the country. Great Britain sent Arthur James Balfour, its for- eign minister, and Lord Cunliffe, governor of the Bank of England. France was represented by Rene Viviani, minister of justice, and Gen. Joflfre, mili- tary adviser of the French government. Italy had as the head of its mission Prince Ferdinando di Savoja of Udine. Russia sent Boris A. Bakhme- tieff. Belgium, Baron Ludovic Moncheur, Rou- mania, Count Vassile Stoica, Norway, Dr. Fridt- jof Nansen and Japan Baron Ishii. Some of the leaders of these missions gave addresses before the houses of congress and laid wreaths on the tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon. 1918 WHEN the year 1918 opened the attention of the world was chiefly directed toward the negotiations in progress between Germany and the bolshevik extremists in Russia, led by Lenin and Trotsky. The parleys were held at Brest-Litovsk, begin- ning December 22, 1917, and ended March 3, 1918, when the Russian delegation signed a peace treaty, the terms of which were essentially in violation of all they had contended for, and virtually dis- possessed Russia of some of her richest provinces. The bolshevik leaders made a curious attempt to end the war without any formal peace pact, but they were quickly brought to their senses when the German army resumed operations and cap- tured Dvinsk, Lutsk, and others cities, and even threatened Petrograd to such an extent that it was abandoned as the seat of government in favor of Moscow, where the central soviet, or executive body of the soldiers, peasants and workmen have since had their headquarters. The bolsheviki were greatly chagrined at the outcome of the peace nego- tiations, but at a congress of Soviets held in Mos- cow March 14-16 last, the terms of the peace imposed by the Germans were finally ratified. President Wilson sent to this gathering a message of sympathy because of the check suffered by Rus- sia in her struggle for freedom. To this message the soviet returned a somewhat cold expression of appreciation. Since the peace treaty was signed, Russia has been in a most deplorable state. The Ukraine, one of the richest grain districts of the former em- pire, was the first to break away, declaring its independence and entering into a separate peace treaty with the central powers. Finland became the scene of civil war between the "red guards" representing the Russian bolshevik government and the "white guards," organized by the Finns with the help of Germany. In the end the white guards triumphed, and a Finnish government abso- lutely under the control of Germany was estab- lished in Helsingfors. The landed proprietors sent agents to Berlin and entered into a secret agree- ment by which the country was to be turned into a kingdom., with a German prince on the throne. Germany's collapse in November put an end to this scheme, as well as many others. Siberia Forsakes Bolsheviki Siberia also broke away from the bolsheviki, and set up an independent government, which is now seeking to establish its control with allied and other aid. Other provinces also declared their independence. In the meantime famine and pestilence have been raging in many localities, while anarchy has reigned virtually everywhere. The whole of the immense Russian army, obsessed with the idea of a peace without annexations or indemnities, and the self-determination of the rights of peoples, melted away, and left nothing to take its place, except such small bodies of inefficient and undisciplined troops as the Soviets were able to maintain. This, of course, liberated millions of German and Austro-Hungarian soldiers for service on the Italian and French fronts, where before this the strength of the opposing armies had been nearly equal. Roumania, it may be noted in this connection, kept up the fight against the central powers, as long as she had support from Russia, but when the latter made peace it was no longer possible to continue the struggle. On May 6 she signed a treaty of peace by which she lost the province of the Dobrogea, and also control over her fine oil fields, which under a long time lease were to be exploited by a German concern. Her western frontiers were "rectified" and she was obliged to submit to numerous economic restrictions. Thus Roumania, as well as Russia, was lost to the allies. It having become apparent even before the close of the third year of the war, that Russia could no longer be counted upon for support, the allies began preparations to meet, especially on the west- ern front, the attack of the German armies soon to be immensely strengthened by forces released from the eastern front. All eyes were turned to COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END America, for France, England and Italy had almost reached the limit of their man power. America to the Rescue America responded quickly with men, money and material. The training of national army men, national guards and officers in the numerous cantonments was intensified and hurried, and as fast as the men were brought into condition, they were shipped to France. At first much of the space on the transports was devoted to supplies and materials for the camps and depots in France, but as the situation became critical owing to suc- cessful ofi'ensives in Italy and France, fewer sup- plies and more men were sent. The number of transports was largely increased, with the result that each month, with one exception, showed a decided improvement in the movement of troops. The troop movement record, in view of the danger from submarines, was a wonderful one, and by November there were more than 2,000,000 American troops in France, England and Italy. This immense number of men was carried over without the loss of a single east bound American transport. The only disasters were those which occurred to the British transports Tuscania and Otranto, with the loss of several hundred Ameri- can soldiers. While soldiers were being sent across the seas at a rapid rate, the assembling and training of new men at home was continued with accelerated speed. There were new registrations for the selective draft, the idea of the war department being to have more than 4,000,000 men in Europe by the summer of 1919, when it was thought Ger- many might finally be conquered. The number of warships in commission was largely increased, especially in the matter of destroyers, submarine chasers and lighter craft. Next in importance to the increase of the army and the navy, was the building of merchant vessels to offset the ravages of the submarine warfare. The shipping board was reorganized and galvanized into a high state of efficiency. Under the leader- ship of Charles M. Schwab, director-general of the Emergency Fleet corporation, and Edward N. Hur- ley, chairman of the board, the work in the ship- yards on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and on the great lakes was speeded up until ships were being built at the rate of 5,000,000 tons a year. In the first three weeks of July twenty-three ships of 122,771 dead weight tons were completed, mak- ing a total of 223 new vessels built under the direction of the board, the aggregate tonnage be- ing 1,415,022 tons. On July 4 alone, eighty-two vessels were launched. This speed was main- tained and even exceeded until the signing of the armistice, when the need for haste became less urgent. This with the increased tonnage put out by the British, French and Italian shipyards, to say nothing of the output of neutral countries friendly to the allies, practically put an end to the sub- marine peril. It addition the United States requisitioned seventy-seven Dutch ships with an aggregate tonnage of about 600,000. Arrange- ments were made with Sweden for about 400,000 tons and contracts were let for the building of a considerable number of ships in Japanese yards. In the matter of building fighting airplanes and heavy ordnance there was some delay, owing partly to experimental work and partly, perhaps, to mismanagement in certain quarters, but better progress was made later. A fair number of fight- ing planes was shipped to Europe. Food Economy Aids Allies With fairly good harvests in 1917, with the practice of economy in the consumption of wheat flour and meats, in accordance with the recom- mendations of the food administration, and with increased shipping facilities, the United States was enabled not only to feed its own soldiers and sailors well, but to help out Britain, France and Italy to such an extent that they were relieved of the fear of starvation and want. The American record in this respect won many expressions of gratitude and admiration from the allies. Prices of food and clothing and commodities in general advanced, but so did wages, and there was no acute suffering on account of war condi- tions on this side of the Atlantic. The adminis- tration took many steps to relieve the situation, such as fixing the prices of certain important articles like wheat, regulating exports and imports, taking over the main railroad lines and settling labor controversies without the intervention of disastrous strikes. The taking over of the railroad lines was one of the most radical steps taken by the adminis- tration. It was done for the purpose of bringing to an end the congestion of freight, confusion in shipments and other serious evils which could be obviated by unified management and control. The express companies were also brought under one management. Later, because of the threat of a strike by operators, congress passed a resolution authorizing the president to take over the tele- graph, cable and telephone systems of the coun- try, and this was done. These arrangements, like many others, were for the duration of the war. In January a national war labor board was COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END created for the purpose of furnishing an adequate and stable supply of labor to war industries, and in March a war industries board was appointed for the purpose, among others, of creating new facilities and improving present facilities for the production of military material and for making purchases for the allies. Coal Shortage Owing to transportation difficulties, and also to the exceptionally severe character of the win- ter, the coal situation became acute, and on Janu- ary 16, the United States fuel administration issued an order restricting the consumption of coal to cer- tain industries and setting aside specified days on which no coal should be used. The head of the fuel administration. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, was criticised for some features of this order as un- necessarily drastic, but he defended the step as a war measure. Afterward the country was divid- ed into zones and the source of supply for each was designated. In times of peace the government spent less than 81,000,000,000 a year; in 1918 the outlay by midyear was at the rate of $50,000,000 a day. The actual outlay for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, was more than $12,600,000,000. The United States before the end of the war had loaned to the allies more than $8,000,000,000. Two more liberty loans were issued by the gov- ernment in 1918— one for $3,000,000,000, and one for $6,000,000,000. In both cases the amounts were largely oversubscribed. To meet the heavy expenditures of the govern- ment. President Wilson in a speech delivered be- fore Congress on May 27 asked for new tax legis- lation, and a committee of the House started fram- ing a revenue law designed to bring in $8,000,000,- 000 through taxation. That was the figure sug- gested by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, who estimated that the expenditures during the present fiscal year will amount to $24,000,000,000. Besides buying war bonds the people of the United States in May contributed considerable more than $100,000,000 to the American Red Cross war fund. They also subscribed heavily to the Young Men's Christian Association fund, to the Knights of Columbus, the Salvation Army, and to numberless other organizations of a similar char- acter. It was a year of generous giving. New Laws by Congress Congress was engaged almost solely in war legislation. Here are a few of the measures en- acted into law: Extending protection to the civil rights of members of the military and naval estab- lishments; providing for the operation of trans- portation systems while under federal control; providing credits for industries and enterprises in the United States necessary to the prosecution of the war; authorizing the issue of additional bonds; to conserve the gold supply of the United States and to stabilize the price and encourage the pro- duction of silver; amending the espionage act; authorizing the president to provide housing for war needs; authorizing the president to consolidate executive bureaus and offices; providing for voca- tional rehabilitation of disabled soldiers and sail- ors; making appropriations amounting to billions of dollars for the army and navy and other de- partments of the government. In the main these and other war measures were passed without divi- sion on party lines. In the course of the year President Wilson made a number of notable addresses, all attracting world-wide attention. The peace discussion in which he, David Lloyd George, Chancellor Count von Hertling, Count Czernin, Richard von Kuehl- man and others of lesser note engaged, drew from him a speech before congress on January 8, in which he demanded the righting of the Alsace wrong, the liberation of Poland, the evacuation of all Belgian and Russian territory, and a readjust- ment of the frontiers of Italy. These and other terms were laid down in brief and remarkably businesslike Utterances. Chancellor von Hertling in reply rattled the German sword, but Count Czer- nin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, replied in more conciliatory language. Four Basic Peace Principle^ On February 11 President Wilson again ad- dressed congress, and laid down four basic princi- ples as essential to a just and lasting peace. These were: The final settlement must be just; peoples and countries must not be bartered about by the powers like chattels; territorial settlements must be for the benefit of the peoples concerned, and all well defined national aspirations should be granted so far as might be consistent with future peace. These principles were indorsed by the al- lies, but not by the central powers. Previously to this the president had replied to Pope Benedict, who on August 13, 1917, ap- pealed to the belligerents to negotiate for peace on the basis of the restoration of Belgium and Serbia, and the return of the German colonies, that the German government as constituted could not be trusted and the United States would only negotiate with persons more truly representative of the German people. Pope Benedict made another appeal for peace at Easter, 1918, but without ef- fect on the belligerents. President VVilson's other addresses were: Febru- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END ary 6, asking congress for more power in direct- ing war operations; April 6, in Baltimore, on first anniversary of America's entrance into the war; May 18, in New York city, opening the Red Cross fund campaign; on July 4, to diplomats and for- eign born at Mount Vernon; and on Labor Day, September 2. In most of these he reiterated in eloquent language the war aims of the United States. Nations declaring war in 1918 were: Guate- mala against Germany, April 21; Nicaragua against Germany, May 7; Costa Rica against Ger- many and Austria-Hungary, May 24; Haiti against G€rmar.y, July 15; Honduras against Germany, July 19. Until March, 1918, the American troops in France saw little actual warfare, though a number of them were under fire while getting the finish- ing touches of their training in the front trenches. On January 21 Americans took informal charge of a sec^r of the French front near Toul. Minor encounters occurred January 30 and February 4, the latter on a Lorraine sector which the Ameri- cans were holding, several casualties being suf- fered. Other similar affairs took place from time to time. On February 26 five Americans were killed, and 100 or more disabled by a gas attack. On March 1 in the Toul sector they repulsed a heavy German raid, killing many. On March 6 it was announced that the Americans were holding an eight mile front in France alone. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker arrived in France March 10 and inspected the American forces in France. He also visited England and Italy, conferring with the authorities there, and returned home April 16. The result of his trip and the beginning of the great German offensive March 21 was a tremendous increase in the mili- tary activities of the United States, particularly in rushing troops to Europe. German Offensive in March On March 21 the Germans attacked along the British front from the Oise to the Scarpe, a dis- tance of fifty miles, and drove Gen. Haig's troops back for twenty miles or more, capturing Chauny, Ham, Peronne, Bapaume, Nesle, Roye and many other places. The French were also driven back and lost Montdidier, Noyon and other towns. The Germans attempted by driving toward Amiens to separate the French and British armies, intending to roll up each in turn, but after some victories in Flanders and on the French front they were finally stopped. They had advanced some thirty- five miles and retaken the greater part of the ground abandoned in the Hindenburg retreat. The allies lost heavily in killed, wounded and prisoners, but the Germans, being the aggressors, lost still more men. This was especially true in the battle of Ypres on April 9, when they were defeated by the British and French. On March 28, in the height of the great battle, the allies came to an agreement to place all their forces from the Arctic ocean to the Mediterranean under one supreme command. The man chosen was Gen. Foch, a leading French strategist. On March 29 Gen. Pershing placed all of the Ameri- can forces at Gen. Foch's disposal and the offer was accepted. On the following day the Ameri- can troops not already at the front began their march to take part in the battle. Since then they have been brigaded with the French and British all the way from the North sea to Switzerland. On April 8 the Germans began a new offen- sive on the whole British front and won a num- ber of victories in the La Bassee canal region and elsewhere, forcing the defenders to evacuate Armentieres and pushing them back to the line of Wytschaete, Messines ridge and Ploegsteert. They also attacked the French lines. By April 19 the Germans had taken Merris, Neuve Eglise, Bailleul, Wulverghem, Wytschaete, Poelcapelle, Passchen- daele and Langemark, and part of Messines ridge. Review of Great Battle In an illuminating cable message on April 21, sent by Paul Scott Mowrer, staff correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, with the French armies, he said: "Exactly a month ago today, the world's great- est battle began. T^'Tiat has happened in this month? "The history of such vast and complicated events never can be written until long afterward. Not only are all the facts not yet collated, but many facts cannot yet be revealed because they would be useful to the enemy, who is much wor- ried at present because he cannot discover whether the French army is still practically intact. Never- theless, I will attempt in this dispatch to give a more detailed account of the month's developments than any other hitherto published. "This account is in no way based on official reports, to which, indeed, I have not had access, but merely upon personal observations and opinions, and to some extent upon the collation of miscellaneous information which has already been published. "I shall not dwell upon the picturesque side of the battle; neither upon the myriad acts of in- dividual heroism, nor upon the skill and devo- tion of the French and British armies as a whole. I shall confine myself to stating what I conceive COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END to be the broad outlines of the battle. For clear- ness I shall number the heading from 1 to 9. German Preparations for Blow "1. German Preparations — Having definitely settled the Russian situation, the German great general staff with the kaiser's consent decided in February to make a final effort to win a complete victory over the allies by vanquishing Britain and France before the United States could transport a decisive number of fighting men to Europe. The front to be attacked was chosen and the date set for March 2L The preliminary preparations had already been made. All that remained was to con- centrate troops and material. "This concentration was effected with the great- est secrecy. The troop trains were unlighted and ran only by night. Subdivisions while on the way were kept under shelter and out of sight in the daytime. Two Hundred Divisions Gathered "Little by little about 200 divisions were gath- ered in France. Half of them, being destined to take part in the coming battle, were assembled in reasonable proximity to the British front. Not only were the divisions all raised to full strength, newly equipped, and re-enforced with various kinds of specialists, but every possible contingency was foreseen and material provided accordingly. The troops were excited to a high pitch of en- thusiasm and the greatest confidence prevailed. Preparations by the Allies "2. In the expectation of a big German offen- sive the allies took important measures. The Brit- ish took over the section of the French front be- tween St. Quentin and Chauny in order to free more French divisions for maneuvering purposes. The question of a unified command was agitated but resulted in a compromise, namely, the crea- tion of the Versailles council, which was to hold all the allied general reserves at its disposition. These general reserves were estimated by the Germans at forty-five French divisions and fifteen British. The allied reserves were carefully distributed at strategic points. "I am not conversant with what took place behind the British lines, but behind the French there was a vast amount of labor, the digging of position behind position with trenches and barbed wire complete to a depth of many kilometers. Aimed to Split Allies' Lines "3. The German Plan — The Germans' concep- tion was Napoleonic. They designed to break the French and British armies apart at the point of junction, then crush the British army by turning its right while leaving a strong force defensively opposite the French left. The death blow to the British was to be given by a second attack in Flanders following the first one on the Somme. "The means whereby they were certain they would succeed were: (a) The vast secret concen- tration, (b) The surprise which would end everything before the allies' reserve could arrive. "The German railways radiate to many points on the front, whereas the allies' railways mostly run in semicircles parallel with the front, thus giving the enemy a decided advantage. Allies Expected Big Blow "4. The Allies' Plan — The allies' plan was simply to allow the Germans to attack and sustain the blow successfully. They expected the Ger- mans to attack in the region of St. Quentin, but there were also reasons to suppose that the Ger- mans would attack in the Champagne. The allies were no less confident of their ability to sustain the shock than the Germans were confident of victory. Hit from Arras to Chauny "5. First Phase of the Battle — The sector chos- en for attack was the front of eighty kilometers (forty-eight miles) from Arras to Chauny, held entirely by the British. Against two armies three powerful German armies were concentrated. The British generals were Byng on the north, and Gough on the south. The German generals from north to south were Von Beulow, Von Marwitz and Von Hutler. The British were outnumbered two to one, both in men and guns. "What happened? Gen. Byng's army held admirably, maintaining die positions on the left and retreating on the right only to keep in contact with Gen. Gough. The latter's army, which had to bear the brunt of the German blow, was broken in two. Retreat was imperative. Road to Paris Put in Danger "'The pecularities of this retreat were: (a) Its rapidity. (b) Its direction. Instead of re- treating elastically and keeping in loop forma- tion around the Germany advance, the British re- tired first due west and then northwest toward Amiens. The entire Oise valley, which is on the direct road to Paris, was in danger. The Ger- mans' original objective had been Amiens. Two days after the battle began their objective became Paris. "But the Germans had reckoned without the French. The French army began to check the dan- ger in the Oise valley on March 23. The fighting literally was one against three. The general in command retired foot by foot and by March 26, COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END having received re-enforcements, began to hold firmly along the line Chauny-Noyon. "The Germans on March 31 made their last great attempt to break through the valley of the Oise. They were soundly repulsed. Paris ceased to be the German objective. Field Marshal von Hindenburg again turned his attention to Amiens. Connecting Link is Formed "Meanwhile another French army had begun intervention on March 27, on the left of the army that blocked the road to Paris, forming a connect- ing link between it and the remnant of Gen. Gough's army. On the first day the French along a twenty kilometer (twelve mile) front from Hangard to Til- loy fought literally one to ten, yet disputed every foot of the ground. By March 31 this French army, having received re-enforcements, was hold- ing firm along the lines from the Somme to Mont- didier, to which the commander had now extended his left. "The last general offensive against Amiens was made April 4. The French and British fighting against odds of two to one, repulsed the Germans with heavy loss. The Germans when stopped were still fifteen kilometers (nine miles) from Amiens. The first phase of the battle was ended. Second Phase of Big Battle "6. Second Phase — Of the second phase, which began April 9 and 10 against the British and Portuguese on a front of about twenty-five kilo- meters (fifteen miles) from La Basse to near Ypres, less can be said, for it is more recent and more- over I am less fully informed. The Germans broke the British center, which was being held by three Portuguese divisions. The situation on April 12 was critical, but since then it has been steadying and improving. "There can be little doubt now that the Ger- mans have been stopped. French re-enforcements have arrived and the offensive here will probably die out as did the offensive on Amiens, Methods of Foe in Attack "7. German Tactics — The German method of attack was as follows: "A preparatory bombardment, brief but in- tense, began at midnight on March 21 and lasted about six hours. Within this period 1,500,000 shells were fired by one single army. Most of the shells contained gas and were intended less to destroy the British trenches than to destroy their occupants. "The infantry attacked in successive waves. The waves swept right over the zone of trenches, leaving such groups of British as still resisted to be dealt with by groups of special troops which followed the waves. Once in the open the waves advanced successfully under cover of a constant rifle and machine gun barrage. All units had orders to advance as far and as fast as possible. The troops were provided with three days' rations and two days' water. Tactics Pursued by Allies "The Allies' Tactics — The allies' tactics were not complicated. Once open fighting was resumed they had simply to defend their ground stub- bornly with rifle and machine gun fire, counter- attacking with the bayonet whenever that seemed expedient. They were outnxmibered and reserves were used sparingly. "The first French troops engaged were cavalry, who fought dismounted. The infantry was trans- ported on camions, which, during the critical days, went right into the zone of fire, the troops climb- ing down and forming a firing line immediately in a ditch along the road. The allies' artillery in most instances reached the battle field before the Germans and played a great part in checking the German advance. This was especially true of the French field-pieces. As the allies were constantly endeavoring to stabilize the lines they dug trenches wherever possible. Allies Superior in the Air "Throughout the battle the allies' aviation serv- ice completely dominated that of the enemy. French and British fighting planes attacked the German infantry from low altitudes with machine guns, while bombing planes both day and night dropped bombs not only on the enemy's reserves but on the actual firing line, thus temporarily re- placing the heavy artillery. Overestimated Their Strength "9. Conclusion — The Germans' plan was well conceived, and executed with good strategy, good tactics and good morale, but reckoned on a superi- ority which they did not possess. The allies' preparation, strategy and tactics also proved good, and the situation, momentarily critical both in Picardy and Flanders, has apparently been firmly re-established. "The Germans claim to have taken from the British more than 100,000 prisoners and about 2,000 guns, including trench mortars, and from the French 2,000 prisoners. The French and British each have taken about 2,000 German prisoners. Fail to Separate Armies "In their purpose to separate the French and British armies and crush the latter, the Germans COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END have absolutely failed. The allies' lines have everywhere been re-established and the allies' command now is united. The Germans thus far have thrown into the fighting about 126 divisions. Their losses will probably reach more than 300,- 000. They have still more divisions which they can use for a new offensive, and which will form the third phase of the mighty battle. This offen- sive, like the two preceding it, will fail. Then will come the allies' turn." Americans^ First Real Fight On the 20th of April the Americans had their first serious encounter with the Germans. This was at Seicheprey, a village near Renners forest. The Germans captured the place, but the Ameri- cans by a counter-attack recovered the lost ground. On the 25th and 26th the Germans took Mount Kemmel, Dranoutre and St. Eloi, while the British recaptured Villers-Bretonneaux. Fighting of a more or less local character continued throughout the rest of the month and in May with varying fortunes. Third Phase of Offensive On May 27 the Germans began another great offensive taking the Chemin des Dames from the French and crossing the Aisne. On the follow- ing day they crossed the Vesle river at Fismes. On this day also the Americans won their first notable victory by capturing the village of Cantigny and taking 200 prisoners. This position they held against many subsequent counter-attacks. Soissons was taken by the Germans May 29 and on the 30th they occupied Fere-en-Tardenois and Vezily. On the 31st they reached Chateau Thierry and other points on the Marne, where they were halted by the French. Fighting of a spirited character continued for a few days longer, but the Germans could advance no farther in that direction at the time. Chouy and Neuilly-St. Front fell to the Ger- mans on June 1. On the following four days they took Pernant and a few villages, but the French by counter-attacks recaptured Longpont, Corey, Troesnes and some other places. On June 6 American marines by a spirited attack gained two miles on a two and a half mile front near Veuilly-la-Poterie, taking Hill 142 near Torcy and entering Torcy itself. On the following day, with French aid, they completed the capture of Vilny, Veuilly-la-Poterie, Bussaires, Belleau and the heights southeast of Haute Vesnes. In a second battle northwest of Chateau Thierry the Ameri- cans advanced nearly two and a half miles on a six mile front, taking about 300 prisoners. In these battles the American troops confirmed the impression that as fighters they were equal to their allies and that with more experience they would be as good as the best. Fourth Phase of Offensive On June 9 the Germans began the fourth phase of the offensive by attacking between Montdidier and the Oise, advancing about four miles and taking several villages. On the next day they took the villages of Mery, Belloy and St. Maur and claimed the capture of 8,000 French. On this day the American marines took the greater part of Bel- leau wood. On June 11 they completed the cap- ture of Belleau wood, taking 300 prisoners and several machine guns and mortars. The French at the same time defeated the Germans between Rubescourt and St. Maur, taking 1,000 prisoners. There were other battles on the 12th and 13th, but on the 14th the German offensive was pronounced a costly failure. From this time to the end of June the fighting was of a less serious character, though the Ameri- cans in the Belleau and Vaux region gave the Germans no rest, attacking them continually and taking prisoners. Public attention at this period was directed toward Italy, where the Austrians took the offensive. July 2 President Wilson announced that there were 1,019,115 American soldiers in France. July 4 was celebrated in England, France and Italy, as well as in the United States. On that day Ameri- cans assisted the Australians in taking Hamel, with many prisoners. On the 8th and 9th the French advanced in the region of Longpont and northwest of Compiegne. On the 12th they took Castel and other strong points near the west bank of the Avre river. July 14, the French national holiday, was observed in America and by the American soldiers in France. Fifth and Last Pliase Then on July 15, the Germans began the fifth and last phase of the offensive they initiated on March 21, attacking from Chateau Thierry on the west to Massignes, along a sixty-five mile front and crossing the Marne at several places. At Chateau Thierry the Americans put up a strong resistance, but by persistent efforts the enemy succeeded in gaining a footing on the south bank. The battle continued both east and west of Reims, with the allies holding strongly every- where, and the Germans meeting heavy losses. The latter aimed at Chalons and Epernay and hoped by turning the Reims position to capture the cathedral city without having to assault directly its formidable defense. Gen. Gouraud, the hero of Gallipoli, was in charge of the French forces on the right, while Gen. Mangin and Gen. De Goutte COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END held the left. Most of the Americans taking part in the fighting were under the command of these three noted warriors, and strong Italian and Brit- ish detachments were with Gouraud's forces. While the Germans were trying to force their way regardless of cost in the direction of Chalons and Epernay, Gen. Foch, who seems to have had advance information of the German crown prince's plans, was preparing a surprise in the Villers-Cot- terets forest on the German right flank. Large forces were gathered, including some of the best French regiments, together with the foreign legion, the Moroccan regiment and other crack troops and many Americans. On Thursday morning, July 18, a heavy blow was launched at the Ger- mans all along the line from Chateau Thierry on the Marne to ihe Aisne river northwest of Soissons. Turn of the Tide The Teutons were taken wholly by surprise and town after town was taken with comparatively little resistance. Later the resistance stiffened, but the allies continued to advance. Mounted cavalry- men assisted the infantrymen, and tanks in large numbers helped to clear out machine gun nests. The Americans, who fought side by side with the French, did their work in a manner to excite the admiration of their comrades. Thousands of pris- oners were taken with large numbers of heavy cannon and great quantities of ammunition, to say nothing of thousands of machine guns. It was a master stroke by Gen. Foch and his officers. By the 20th Soissons was threatened. The Ger- mans, finding themselves caught in a dangerous salient and attacked fiercely on both flanks by the allies, hurriedly retreated to the north bank of the Marne, and still farther. They were in such a critical situation that the crown prince was forced to call for assistance from Prince Rup- precht in the north. Austrian Offensive in June On the Italian front there were also indications that the Germanic alliance was in difficulties. After its reverse in October, 1917, and its retreat to the line of the Piave river the Italian army was re- organized and strengthened under Gen. Diaz, who had succeeded Gen. Cadorna. French and British regiments were sent to help hold the line. Later some American troops were also sent. On June 15 the Austrians, urged on by the Germans, began an offensive along a 100 mile front, crossing the Piave in several places. On that day and the following two days they con- tinued violent attacks, especially on the Montello plateau, along the Piave from St. Andrea to San Dona di Piave and at Capo Sile, twenty miles from Venice, where they made some progress. Then the Italians, British and French counter-attacked with impetuosity and within two or three days had turned the Austrian offensive into a great rout, killing thousands, taking other thousands prisoners and obtaining possession of a large amount of war material, including many of the Austrian heavy caliber guns. The whole Austrian scheme to ad- vance into the rich Italian plains, where they hoped to find great stores of food for their hungry sol- diers, failed miserably. The defeat added to the dissatisfaction in the dual empire and increased the bad feeling between Austria-Hungary and Germany. Emperor's Peace Letter a Bomb In this connection it may be noted that Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, was forced to resign his position on April 15, 1918, following the publication of a letter, pub- lished by the French government showing that Emperor Charles had favored giving Alsace-Lor- raine to France and restoring Belgium and Serbia in order to bring about peace. The letter caused a sensation and added to the ill feeling existing be- tween the central powers. Naval Affairs On the seas the year 1918 was without events comparable in importance to the battle of the Falk- land islands or of the Skager-Rak, though there were some minor affairs in which great heroism was shown. This was notably the case in the British attacks on Zeebrugge and Ostend by which these enemy naval bases were made practically useless. The entrances to the ports were obstruct- ed by sinking old ships across the harbor entrances April 22 and again on May 9. The British lost many brave men in the operations, but it was worth the sacrifice, for the activities of the Ger- man submarines were greatly hampered thereby. In an encounter between British light craft and Turkish war vessels at the entrance of the Dar- danelles January 20, 1918, the Breslau, a former cruiser, was sent to the bottom and the Goeben damaged. Both were flying the Turkish flag. The British lost a destroyer and a small monitor. Two or three minor encounters occurred in the North sea. The German high seas fleet did not venture out since the battle of Skager-Rak until it surrendered in accordance with the armistice terms. Most of the Russian warships in the Baltic escaped seizure by the Germans after the collapse of the Russian army, some being sunk by the Russians themselves and others taking refuge at Kronstadt. The Germans, however, obtained possession of some of the craft in the Black sea ports. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END Italians' Notable Naval Feat Through the skill and bravery of Commander Pellegrini and Commander Rizzo of the Italian navy Austria-Hungary lost three battle ships and one coast defense ship. These were torpedoed either while lying in harbor or proceeding along the Dalmatian coast protected by swarms of tor- pedo boats. The coast defense ship Wien was sunk in December, 1917, and the battle ships in May and June, 1918. No finer exploits of this kind were produced by the war. Some losses were suffered by the American navy, but under all the circumstances they were not heavier than might have been expected. Among the vessels lost by torpedoing or through other causes may be named the destroyers Jacob Jones and Chauncey, the collier Cyclops, the cruiser San Diego, the supply ship Westover, the tugs Chero- kee and Mariner and a number of ships used as troop transports. Fortunately these were home- ward bound and the loss of life was not large. The work done by the navy was of a most arduous and exacting character, but it met every emergency and established a record, especially in the matter of convoying transports to Europe, of which it has every reason to be proud. Several transport were lost, but in each case they were homeward bound. The transport Tuscania, on which more than 200 American soldiers lost their lives February 5, and the Moldavia and Otranto were British. The largest American transports lost were the President Lincoln, May 31, 1918, and the Covington, July 1. Notwithstanding that many ships of the allied countries and neutral nations were sunk in the course of a year, it became apparent that the Ger- man policy of ruthless submarine warfare was doomed to failure. The seas around the British isles became so unpleasant for the "U" boats that they ventured farther from their bases and even came to this side of the Atlantic. In June they sank about a dozen ships off the American coast. Torpedoing of Hospital Ships "Frightfulness" continued to be a strong fea- ture of the German war policy, both on sea and land. Hospital ships were attacked and sunk on sight wherever they were encountered. The most striking example of this was the sinking of the British ship Llandovery Castle, seventy miles off the Irish coast on the night of June 27, with a loss of 234 lives, among them a number of Canadian women Red Cross nurses. On land the German aviators bombed many hospitals and continued their aerial raids on London and Paris. Long Range Gun Bombafds Paris The French capital was also subjected to a bombardment by guns having a surprisingly long range — said to be sixty or seventy miles — causing some loss of life. The greatest fatality occured when a shell struck a church in Paris, where serv- ices were being held on Good Friday, killing sev- enty-six persons. British, French and other avia- tors, in retaliation for the bombing of defenseless towns back of the battle line, dropped explosives on some of the Rhine towns, sparing as much as possible, however, civilians, while attacking factories and public works. This action caused great alarm, and the inhabitants demanded that an understanding should be reached on the subject of aerial bombardments outside the war zones proper. Throughout the year the allied aviators con- tinued to manifest their superiority over the Ger- man flyers. Fatalities on both sides were heavy and some of the greatest aces were killed. Among the dead may be mentioned Maj. Baraca, Italian; Frank L. Baylies, Arthur Blumenthal, W. Vernon Booth, A. Courtney Campbell, Charles W. Chap- man, James R. McConnell, Raoul Lufbery, Paul Pavelka, Quentin Roosevelt, American ; Baron Richt- hofen, German; George Guynemer, French, and James B. McCudden, British. In the training areas in America there were many fatal aerial accidents. Among the deaths attracting most attention were those of John Purroy Mitchell, former mayor of New York, and Vernon Castle, the noted dancer. Lichnowsky Mepioirs Revelations made by Prince Lichnowsky, Ger- man ambassador in London at the time the war began, laying the blame for the great struggle on German and Austrian shoulders, caused a great sensation early in the spring of this year. His statement of the causes of the war confirmed the claims of the British and other allies and was a severe setback to the German assertion that the war was forced on the central powers and that they were fighting in self-defense. Gavrio Prinzip, the man who killed Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and thereby precipitated the European war, died in a fortress near Prague, Bohemia, April 30, 1918, of tuberculosis. Decisive Campaign Having noted some of the less important oc- currences of the year we may now turn to the cam- paigns which resulted in the downfall of Germany and her allies. Bulgaria was the first of the quad- ruple alliance to give up the struggle. In July Italian and French troops began an operation be- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END tween the Adriatic coast and the Tomorica valley and in five days advanced from fifteen to twenty miles on a sixty mile front, until the whole of southern Albania was cleared of the enemy. Bulgarians Forced to Surrender There were some minor operations in August, but Gen. Franchet d'Esperey, who was the com- mander in chief of the allied forces in Mace- donia, waited until his preparations were com- plete. An official report issued by the French war office gave his concise account of the brief but brilliant campaign that followed: "The operations began (Sept. 14) when a Ser- bian division moved forward and carried by as- sault the formidable mountain barriers of Vetrenik, Dobropolje and Sokol. By September 22 they had succeeded in cutting the communications of the first Bulgarian army operating along the Vardar and those of the Bulgarian second army and the Germans north of Monastir. "Displaying extraordinary endurance, courage and a spirit of sacrifice, all the allied forces joined in the attack September 18 against the enemy at Doiran, capturing this region from important Bul- garian forces. "Beginning September 21, the Italian, Greek and French troops in the region of Monastir moved forward in their turn. On September 22 a general pursuit began. It was conducted with ardor and splendid energy. Allies Cross Vardar "On the 23d the Serbians and French crossed the Vardar in the direction of Krivolak. On the 24th French cavalry entered Frilep. On the 25th Ishtib and the formidable barriers to Veles were captured. The British opened up the road to Strumnitza, which they entered September 26. The same day the Serbians reached Kochana and Veles and the Ital- ians, French and Greeks were marching on Kiche- vo. "On the evening of September 26 the Bulgarians asked that hostilities be suspended, announcing they were sending plenipotentiaries. "At 11 p. m., on September 29 the plenipoten- tiaries delegated by the Bulgarian government signed an armistice at Saloniki. On September 30 at midday hostilities between Bulgarians and the allies ceased." Though the Bulgarians had surrendered, the Austrian and German detachments in the Balkans offered some resistance. It was feeble, for they were meeting with severe reverses elsewhere and could spare no troops for this war theater. The allies, and particularly the Serbians, advanced steadily and occupied all the main towns and strategic centers. The Germans speedily found themselves cut off from Turkey, the famous Berlin to Bagdad line being cut and communication by the Danube closed. Before the war ended the Serbians were back in their old capital, Belgrade. Abdication of King Ferdinand King Ferdinand had been in bad health and mentally depressed for some time before the sur- render came. His pro-German cabinet resigned and another favorable to the allies came to the helm under the leadership of M. Malinoff. It was this government which made the surrender at Saloniki, King Ferdinand abdicated Oct. 3 and was succeeded by Prince Boris. In giving up the throne King Ferdinand issued the following manifesto: "By reason of a succession of circumstances which have occurred in my kingdom and which de- mand from each citizen much sacrifice, even to the surrendering of oneself for the well being of all, I desire to give as the first example the sacrifice of myself. "Despite the sacred ties which for thirty-two years have bound me so firmly to this country, for whose prosperity and greatness I have given all my powers, I have decided to renounce the royal Bul- garian crown in favor of my eldest son, his high- ness the prince royal, Boris of Tirnovo. "I call upon all faithful subjects and true patriots to unite as one man about the throne of King Boris, to lift the country from its difficult situation and to elevate new Bulgaria to the height to which it is predestined." The abdication of King Ferdinand was an- nounced by the premier Malinoff at a crowded session of parliament and the news was received by the deputies with great interest. It was announced on Nov. 2 that King Boris had also abdicated and that Bulgaria had been changed into a republic. Dispatches from Sofia were conflicting and details of the formation of the new state are lacking. Turkey Next to Give Up Having been cut off from Germany, the Turkish government found itself in a hopeless position, which was made all the more so by the complete defeat of its army in Palestine by the forces under Gen. Allenby. The beginning of the decisive cam- paign in this part of the world was described thus in an official British communication issued from the war office in London Sept. 20: "During the night of Sept. 18 our troops com- menced a general attack on the front between the Jordan and the sea. East of the Jerusalem-Nablus road British and Indian troops advanced success- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END fully and intercepted the Turkish road communi- cation leading southeast from Nablus. "At 4:30 a. m. of the 19th the main attack, in which French troops participated, was launched after a sharp bombardment between Rafat and the coast. Our infantry made rapid progress, overrun- ning the entire hostile defensive system on this frontage by 8 a. m. and penetrating to a maximum depth of five miles before swinging east. "The latest available reports indicate the Tul- keram railway junction was occupied by our in- fantry in the course of the afternoon, while a bri- gade of Australian light horse reached the main Tulkeran-Messudieh railway and the road in the vicinity of Anesta, cutting off large bodies of re- treating enemy with their guns and transports. "Meantime a strong cavalry force of British, Indian and Australian troops moving northward on the coast had seized the road junction at Hu- deira Lektera, nineteen miles from the point of departure, by midday. "East of the Jordan a strong detachment of Arab troops of the king of the Hedjas, descending from the Turkish railway junction of Beraa, sev- ered rail communications leading north, south and west from that center. "The operations continued. By 8 p. m. of the 19th more than 3,000 prisoners had passed through our corps cages and many more were reported as not having been counted. Large quantities of ma- terial have been taken." Another official statement issued by the British war office Sept. 22 said: "By 8 p. m. on Sept. 20 the enemy resistance had collapsed everywhere save on the Turkish left in the Jordan valley. "Our left wing, having swung around to the east, had reached the line of Bidieh, Baka and Messudieh junction, and was astride the rail and roads converging at Nablus. "Our right wing, advancing through difficult country against considerable resistance, had reach- ed the line of Kahn Jibeit, one and one-quarter miles northeast of El Muheir and Es-Sawieh, and was facing north astride the Jerusalem-Nablus road. "On the north our cavalry had occupied Nazar- eth, Afuse and Beisan, and were collecting the disorganized masses of enemy troops and transports as they arrived from the south. Close Trap on Turks "All avenues of escape open to the enemy, ex- cept the fords across the Jordan between Beisan and Jisr-ed-Dameer, were thus closed. "East of the Jordan Arab forces of the king of the Hedjas had effected numerous demolitions on the railways radiating from Beraa, several im- portant bridges, including one in the Yurmak val- ley, having been destroyed. "Very severe losses have been inflicted on the masses of Turkish troops retreating over the dif- ficult roads by our air service. "A German airplane, later ascertained to have been carrying mails, landed in the midst of our troops at Afule. The pilot, who believed the place still to be in Turkish hands, destroyed the machine and its contents before he could be secured. "By 9 o'clock on Saturday night on our left wing the infantry about Biratur had reached the line Beitdejan-Samaria-Kirafmer, shepherding the enemy on the west of the Jerusalem-Nablus road into the arms of our cavalry operating southward from Beisan. Airmep, Harass Fugitives "Other enemy columns vainly attempted to es- cape into the Jordan valley in the direction of Jisr-ed-Dameer, which still is held by us. These columns suffered adversely from our aircraft, which constantly harassed them with bombs and machine gun fire from low altitudes. "In the vicinity of Lake Tiberias our cavalry detachments hold Nazareth and the rail and road passages over the Jordan at Jisr-ed-Dameer. Al- ready 18,000 prisoners have been captured and 120 guns collected." In the course of the next few days the entire 7th and 8th Turkish armies were virtually an- nihilated. The mobility of the allied forces and the boldness of Gen. Allenby's plan of hitting at the strongest point in the Turkish defenses added to the success. The rush of the British cavalry completed the enemy's discomfiture. The Turkish reserves consisted of troops which recently arrived from the Caucasus. Field Marshall Liman von Sanders, commander of the Turkish forces, and his staff escaped capture by only six hours. British cavalry, pushing up the Mediter- ranean coast of Palestina, occupied Haifa and Acre. The capture of these ports represented an advance of sixty miles in the operations. Allied troops reached Es-Salt, fifteen miles northwest of Amman. Damascus Taken Troops of an Australian mounted division en- tered Damascus Monday night, Sept. 30. At 6 a. m. Oct. 1 the city was occupied by the British forces and by a portion of the Arab army of King Hussein. More than 7,000 prisoners were taken. British troops entered Aleppo Oct. 26. Surrender Announced The surrender of Turkey was announced in the French chamber of deputies Oct. 31 by Admiral Leygues, minister of marine, who said: COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END "A few days ago Gen. Townshend was freed to go to inform the British admiral commanding in the Mgean sea that the Turkish government asked that negotiations be opened with a view to conclu- sion of an armistice between Turkey and the allies. "Rear-Admiral Calthorpe replied that if the Turkish government sent regularly accredited plen- ipotentiaries he had the necessary powers to inform them of the conditions under which the allies would consent to cease hostilities and that he had the power to sign on behalf of the allies an armis- tice based on these conditions. "The Turkish plenipotentiaries arrived at Mu- dros at the beginning of this week. ' The armistice was signed last night (Oct. 30) by Rear- Admiral Calthorpe on behalf of the allies, and it became effective this noon. "It is impossible to publish the complete terms, but they include: "Free passage of the allied fleets through the Dardanelles to the Black sea. "Occupation of the Bosporus and the Dardan- elles forts as necessary to guarantee the security of this passage. Must Return Prisoners "The immediate release and return of all allied prisoners of war." Gen. Townshend was commander of the Brit- ish Mesopotamia force which surrendered at Kut- el-Amara on April 29, 1916. Gen Townshend had been sent as a prisoner to an island in the Sea of Marmora. Collapse of Austria The collapse of Austria-Hungary followed close on the heels of that of Turkey. There were many minor engagements along the Piave and in the mountainous regions after the ill-fated Austrian drive in June, but there was nothing like a general offensive until after the middle of October. On the 23d of that month the Italians, aided by the French and British, attacked in the Monte Grappa region and on the Asiago plateau. They also struck along the upper reaches of the Piave river and before the 25th had taken 3,000 prisoners. On the Piave they captured the islands of Grave di Pappadopolo and Maggiore, which are in the vicinity of Odrizo. They took prisoner the enemy garrisons of these islands. A little farther to the north and west the Italians made important progress in the region of Monte Grappa, the scene of some of the hardest fighting of the war. They crossed the Ornic river and captured Monte Solaro lo and part of Monte Prassolan and Monte Pertica. On the Asiago plateau they took Monte Sisemol. An official Italian communique issued on Oct. 28 said: "Our army, in conjunction with allied contin- gents, has crossed the Piave river by force of arms, engaging in bitter battles against the enemy, who strove desparately to bar the way. "Between the slope and heights of Val Dob- biadene and the mouth of the Soligo torrent our infantry assault troops passed during the night, under violent fire, to the left bank of the river, broke into the enemy's front lines and carried them. "Supported by the fire of the artillery on the right bank they gained ground and repulsed enemy counter-attacks throughout the day. "To the south the 10th army, taking advantage of the successes of the British at Grave di Pappa- dopolo, compelled the enemy to retire and repulsed two counter-attacks in the direction of Borgo Mal- anotte and Roneadelle. "The prisoners taken yesterday aggregated more than 9,000. Fifty-one guns were captured." By the night of the 29th the allied troops were nearly eight miles east of the Piave river and still were driving the disorganized Austrians before them. Cavalry and light infantry detachments forced a crossing of the Monticano river, routed the enemy rear guards at Vazzola and headed in the direction of the Livenza river to the east. Over the forty mile front from the region of Monte Grappa, in the north, eastward and then south nearly to Ponte di Piave, twenty miles north of the sea, Italian, British and French troops everywhere reported a victorious advance. At the north end of the attack line on the Piave, Italian troops stormed Val Dobbiadene, swept up and took the heights of Colfosto, over- ran the Susgena plain, and took the town of that name. Conegliana, five miles northeast of the left bank of the Piave, was occupied and passed in the advance. North of the Montello the French took Monte Pionar by storm, while Italian troops, north and west, crossed the Ornic river, an east and west stream which flows into the Piave, and drove the Austrians from Alano di Piave. British units, far to the west of the Brenta, raided the enemy trenches opposite Asiago and found them unoccupied. The captures in material were heavy, including not only field artillery, but cannon of large calibre. American troops under Maj.-Gen. Charles G. Treat crossed the Piave river with the 10th army, composed of British, Italians and Americans, under Lieut.-Gen. the Earl of Cavan. This was the first army to begin operations by establishing a bridge- head across the Piave river at the island of Grave di Pappadopolo. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END By October 30 more than 50,000 Austrian pris- oners had been taken, with 300 guns and great quantities of military stores. An official statement from Rome said that hordes of the enemy were streaming in rout from the mountain passes, seek- ing to cross the Tagliamento river, about ten miles east of the Livenza. The Italian, British and French troops crossed the Livenza at several places along its headwaters and were headed for the Tag- liamento, beyond which lie the Isonzo and the Austrian frontier. To the south the 3d Italian army, which forced several passages of the lower Piave on the 29th was driving the enemy before it, despite some show at resistance. Italian troops reached Ponte delle Albi, north- east of the city of Belluno, in the north, thus definitely dividing the Austrian armies. "The enemy is completely defeated east of the Piave," said an official Italian dispatch, "and is with great difficulty sustaining the incessant pres- sure of our troops in the mountain region, in the plain, and in the Alpine foothills of Venetia. Our armies are aiming irresistibly toward the objec- tives which have been designated. "The enemy masses are streaming in confusion down the mountain valleys in an attempt to reach passes on the Tagliamento. Prisoners, guns, war material and storehouses, scarcely touched, fell in- to our hands. "The 12th army, after having completely taken possession of the height of Ceseme, is fighting to conquer the pass of Quero. The 8th army has con- quered the ridge between the valley of Follina and the valley of the Piave, and has occupied the pass of Seravelle, advancing toward the plain of Can- siglio, aiming at the plain of Pordenone. The 10th army has brought its front on the Livenza. "The 3d army is pushing ahead, overwhelming and capturing the enemy, who offers a bitter re- sistance. Czecho-Slovak troops are participating in the action. "In the Grappa region our troops renewed their attack, and this morning succeeded in conquering Col. Caprile, Col. Banatto, Asolone, Monte Prasso- lan, the salient of Solaro, Monte Spinoncia and the plateau of Asiago." On November 1 the official Italian account of the battle operations read: "The battle continues all along the front. The enemy is strongly maintaining his resistance from the Stelvio to the Astico, but he is wavering be- yond the Asiago plateau and is in utter rout all along the rest of the front. The greatest defense that the enemy has is the natural obstacles along the road of its retreat. "Our troops are full of enthusiasm and are fol- lowing the enemy relentlessly. "The 12th army, after conquering the pass of Quero, has rapidly advanced south of Belluno, and after brilliantly rounding the depression of Vadalto, has advanced on Belluno and occupied the city. "The 3d army, re-enforced also by a regiment of marines, has occupied the whole intricate zone along the Adriatic. "In the direction of Udine the Italian troops are also fast advancing. Pordenone has fallen in- to our hands. At the extreme eastern sector of the front Italian marines have occupied Caorle. "Great numbers of airplanes are preceding our troops and are operating their machine gams on the retreating enemy columns. "The number of prisoners is increasing rapidly and continuously. More than 700 guns captured have already been counted. The booty captured is of an enormous quantity." Report of November 2 On November 2 Rome reported: "The Austrian armies have been completely defeated. The Italians already have captured 80,- 000 prisoners and 1,600 guns. The entire Aus- trian army in the Trentino has been cut off and another Austrian army on the southern end of the front is in the same situation. "The Italians are on Austrian soil. The north- ern army crossed the frontier into Austrian terri- tory in the Sugana valley yesterday evening, cut- ting the Austrian forces in that region in two. "East of the Brenta the pursuit continues. On the Asiago plateau the enemy is resisting to give time for the masses in the rear to retire, but the troops of the 6th army have crossed by force of arms the pass between Rotza and Roanan, car- rying in a bitter struggle Monte Cimone and Monte Lisser, and are advancing in the valley of the Nos. "The 4th army has occupied the heights north of the hollow of Fonzaso and has pushed forward columns into the Sugana valley. The old frontier was passed yesterday evening. Alpine groups, hav- ing crossed the Piave with improvised means, in the neighborhood of Busche, have spread out in the area between Feltre and San Giustina. "Italian troops which yesterday won in heavy fighting at the Passo di Boldo, the hollow of Fa- dalto, are going up the Cordevole valley. They have passed beyond Ponte delle Alpi and are marching toward Longarone. "On the plains an Italian cavalry division under the count of Turin, having overcome the stubborn resistance of the enemy at Costello d'Aviano, Rov- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END eredo in Piano, San Martino and San Querino, occupied Pordenone and passed the Cellina- Medu- na line. "Our own and allied aviators are complete masters of the air, and continue without pause their daring activities. An Italian airship bom- barded the railway station in the Sugana valley at night. "It is not possible to calculate the number of guns abandoned on the lines of battle now dis- tant from the fighting front and in the roads. More than 1,600 have been counted. "More than 80,000 prisoners have been count- ed. Our soldiers have liberated several thousand prisoners from capitivity." Austria Raises White Flag Even before this stage of the battle had been reached the Austrian authorities realized that it would be useless to continue the struggle any further, and steps were taken to secure an armistice. This proceeding was thus described by a cor- respondent of the London Times: "Toward the evening of October 29 an Aus- trian officer was seen coming from the enemy trenches close to Serravalle above Ala, in the Adige valley. It became evident at once that the white flag was genuine and Italian officers went forward to meet him. "The officer, who was a captain, declared that he had come to discuss the conditions of an armistice. Taken to a neighboring command and questioned, he was found not to have any author- itative papers and was sent back with a message that a more representative and duly accredited mission should be sent if the matter was to be pursued. "On Wednesday evening a white flag was again hoisted. The Austrians having evidently determined to make due sacrifice of their pride, this time more fitting personalities appeared. At the head of a small group that approached the Italian trenches was the Austrian Gen. von Weber, a corps commander. The party consisted of eight persons and included another general and naval and military officers. There were also civilians, either diplomatic, or government representatives, and secretaries and typists. "They were treated with every courtesy, and when Gen. von Weber had formally stated his mission and shown that he was the bearer of proper credentials, he and his party were driven next day in motor cars to the Villa Giusti, close to Gen. Diaz' headquarters. At 9 o'clock in the morning Gen. Badoglio, the chief of the staff, drove with an escort of cavalry to the villa, and on his arrival all the troops present saluted and the bugles were sounded. "Entering the villa. Gen. Badoglio found all the Austrian mission standing in a line in the drawing room awaiting him. Gen. von Weber was in full uniform, wearing the stars and ribbons of his orders. Gen. Badoglio saluted him and upon seating himself asked the Austrian general his errand. Gen. von Weber replied that he had come to ask the conditions upon which an armistice would be granted. Gen. Badoglio answered that within an hour he would let him know the general lines of such an armistice contained in a written message. He then left the room and the written message in question was at once sent to the villa. "Meanwhile telegrams were exchanged with Versailles, and during the afternoon the precise details under which an armistice would be granted were received from Sig. Orlando, the Italian prime minister, and again in written form handed to Gen. von Weber. During the evening one of the Austrian envoys left by motor car for Serraville with a draft of the conditions to communicate to the Austrian government. "The Austrian plenipotentiaries were very much depressed and did not show themselves out- side the villa nor walk in its ample gardens." Armistice Signed The terms of armistice offered by the allies were accepted by the Austrian government and the document was signed by Gen. Diaz and the Austrian representatives on the afternoon of Sun- day, November 3. At 3 o'clock on the following day hostilities ceased all along the line. On the evening of Monday the Italian war office issued the following statement: "The war against Austria-Hungary, which under the high guidance of the king, the supreme leader of the Italian army, inferior in numbers and ma- terial, began the 24th of May, 1915, and which, with unbending faith and tenacious valor has been conducted uninterruptedly and bitterly for forty- one months, has been won. "The gigantic battle engaged in on the 24th of October, in which fifty-one Italian divisions and three British, two French, one Czecho-Slovak and one American regiment participated against sixty- three Austro-Hungarian divisions is ended. "The daring and very rapid advance of the 29th army corps on Trent, closing up the enemy's armies in Trentino, who were overcome to the west by troops from the 7th army, and to the east by the 1st, 6th and 4th armies, brought about the total collapse of the enemy's front. "The Austro-Hungarian army is destroyed. It COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END suffered heavy losses in the fierce resistance of the first days of the struggle, and in pursuit it has lost an immense quantity of material of all kinds, nearly all its stores and depots, and has left in our hands about 300,000 prisoners, with their com- mands complete, and not less than 5,000 guns. "This defeat has left what once was one of the most powerful armies in the world in disorder, and without hope of returning along the valleys through which it descended with haughty assur- ance." Victory Hour for the Allies On the anniversary of Britain's entry into the war August 4, Field Marshal Haig, commander in chief of the British forces in France, issued this special order of the day: "The conclusion of the fourth year of the war marks the passing of the period of crisis. We can now with added confidence look forward to the future. "The revolution in Russia set free large hostile forces on the eastern front, which were transferred to the west. It was the enemy's intention to use the great numbers thus created to gain a decisive victory before the arrival of American troops should give superiority to the Allies. "The enemy made his effort to obtain a de- cision on the western front and failed. The steady stream of American troops arriving in France has restored the balance. The enemy's first and most powerful blows fell on the British. "The superiority of force was nearly three to one. Although he succeeded in pressing back parts of the fronts attacked, the British line re- mained unbroken. "After many days of heroic fighting, the glory of which will live for all time in the history of our race, the enemy is held. At the end of four years of war the magnificent fighting qualities and spirit of our troops remain of the highest order. "I thank them for the devoted bravery and unshaken resolution -with which they responded to my appeal at the height of the struggle, I know they will show like steadfastness and courage in whatever task they may yet be called upon to per- form." That the field marshal spoke truly was proved by after events. The period of crisis had been passed, for thereafter and until the surrender the Germans moved only in one direction, and that was in the direction of their own frontier. There was much sanguinary fighting, but it was a defen- sive war they waged, with numerous counter-offen- sives to give their harassed troops time to get away with guns and supplies. No real offensive was attempted after the end of July. To give merely an outline of what happened on the western front between August 1 and Novem- ber 11 is difficult because of the extended battle line, the number of troops engaged and the rapid- ity with which the allied commanders struck the enemy heavy blows in widely separated sections. An attempt will, however, be made to touch upon some of the more important movements from the North Sea to the Swiss border in the order in which they occurred. Capture of Fismes On August 3 and 4 Gen. Pershing was able to report: "The full fruits of victory in the counter- offensive begun so gloriously by Franco-American troops on July 18 were reaped today, when the enemy, who met his second great defeat on the Marne, was driven in confusion beyond the line of the Vesle. The enemy, in spite of suffering the heaviest losses, has proved incapable of stem- ming the onslaught of our troops, fighting for liberty side by side with French, British and Italian veterans. In the course of the operations 8,400 prisoners and 133 guns have been captured by our men alone. Our troops have taken Fismes by as- sault and hold the south bank of the Vesle in this section." Foch Made Marshal of France On August 6 the French council of ministers elevated Gen. Ferdinand Foch to tlie rank of mar- shal of France. In connection with this event Premier Clemenceau said: "At the hour when the enemy, by a formidable offensive, counted on snatching the decision and imposing a German peace upon us Gen. Foch and his admirable troops vanquished him. "Paris is not in danger, Soissons and Chateau Thierry have been reconquered and more then 200 villages have been delivered. "Thirty-five thousand prisoners and 700 can- non have been captured, and the enemy's high hopes of the week before have been crushed. The glorious allied armies have thrown him from the banks of the Marne to the Aisne. Such are the results of the high command's strategy, superbly executed by incomparable commanders. The con- fidence placed by the republic and by all the allies in the conqueror of St. Gond, the Yser and the Somme has been fully justified." Smash in Picardy On August 8 the British and French launched an offensive in Picardy and on a front of more than twenty miles astride the Somme pressed for- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END ward from six to seven miles, taking more than 10,000 prisoners and capturing Moreuil, Hamel and numerous other places. In his report of the first day's operations Gen. Haig said: "The operations commenced this morning on the Amiens front by the French 1st army under command of Gen. Debeney and the British 4th army under Sir Henry Rawlinson are proceeding successfully. The assembly of allied troops was completed under cover of night, unnoticed by the enemy. "At the hour of assault French, Canadian, Aus- tralian and English divisions, assisted by a large number of British tanks, stormed the Germans on a front of over twenty miles from the Avre river at Braches to the neighborhood of Morlancourt. The enemy was taken by surprise, and at all points the allied troops have made rapid progress. "At an early hour our first objectives had been reached on the whole of the front attacked. Dur- ing the morning the advance of the allied infantry continued actively assisted by British cavalry, light tanks and motor machine gun batteries. "The resistance of German divisions in the line was overcome at certain points after sharp fight- ing, and many prisoners and a number of guns were captured by our troops. The French troops attacking with great gallantry, crossed the Avre river, and despite the enemy's opposition carried hostile defenses. North of the Somme the great part of our final objectives were gained before noon, but in the neighborhood of Chipilly parties of the enemy offered prolonged resistance. In both localities the fighting was heavy, but ulti- mately our troops broke down the opposition of the German infantry and gained their objectives. "South of the Somme the gallantry of the allied infantry and the dash and vigor of their attack had gained during the afternoon the final objec- tives for the day on practically the whole of the battle front. "Assisted by our light tanks and armored cars, cavalry passed through the infantry and beyond our objectives, riding down the German transports and limbers in their retreat, and capturing villages and taking many prisoners." Chipilly Ridge The hard fighting at Chipilly ridge mentioned in Gen. Haig's dispatch was done chiefly by Aus- tralian troops, but they were ably assisted by American soldiers, former national guardsmen from Chicago and vicinity, whose work won the highest praise. They fought like veterans and contributed materially to the victory. The battle was thus described in the dispatches of August 10: "Details of the brilliant battle which the Americans and British fought for the spur are now available. In order to go over the top at the ap- pointed time yesterday afternoon the Americans were forced to make a rapid march in the last part of which they ran so as to be in the fight. "The American machine gunners and infantry went into battle with their traditional enthusiasm. They met the Germans and defeated them here, just as they did along the Marne. "At places stiff resistance developed, but all along the line the Americans, British and French smashed through the harrassed enemy, who was trying to hold up their advance. "Chipilly spur, north of the Somme, was cap- tured by the American and British troops at 6 o'clock. The attack began at 5 o'clock, when the allies drove forward between the Ancre and the Somme. They were supported by tanks and were preceded by a heavy barrage fire. The enemy was driven toward Bray, northeast of Chipilly. "In the American attack the German infantry held for a while and then broke, and the Ameri- cans kept going, at some places without the assist- ance of the tanks. The ground pitted with deep gullies, was unsuited for tank warfare. "There were no trenches, but a thin smoke screen blowing across the ground indicated where the enemy's positions lay. At the same time the German artillery became active and dropped shells in the direction of the American troops which inflicted a few casualties. The Americans, how- ever, ran on and reached the smoke line just as it lifted. There they found themselves at grips with the enemy. "Meanwhile certain American units had reached positions in front of a wood when the Germans opened fire with machine guns. Many of these enemy gunners came up from deep dugouts after the American barrage had ceased and they placed their guns in prepared pits. The Americans faced a hail of bullets here. The Germans continued to fire until the Americans and English put them out of action." On August 14 Gen. March, chief of staff, an- nounced that the American regiment officially commended for valorous deeds in the battle of Chipilly ridge was the 131st infantry, formerly the 1st Illinois infantry, from Chicago. The regi- ment was commanded by Col. Joseph B. Sanborn. Fall of Montdidier Montdidier was taken by the French on August 10 and further ground was gained. The British also continued to advance, and by the 11th the allies had taken 36,000 prisoners, including 1,000 COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END officers, and had captured more than 500 guns. It was a heavy blow and even the Deutsches Zei- tung of Berlin was compelled to say: "The events between the Somme and the Avre constitute the first serious defeat of the war." On the Oise-Aisne front Gen. Mangin's 10th French army delivered an attack on August 19-20 which netted 8,000 prisoners, and liberated many towns. In the Lys salient to the north the British also advanced several miles. On the 21st Lassigny was taken by the French. This was the corner- stone of the German position south of the Avre river after the fall of Montdidier. At the same time Gen. Haig attacked on a ten mile front from Arras to Albert, advanced about three miles and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. On August 24 the British captured Thiepval and Bray and reached the vicinity of Bapaume. On the 26th Canadian troops captured Wancourt, Monchy-le- Preux and pressed on beyond. By the 28th the French had taken Chaulnes and Nesle. Battle of Juvigny Accompanied by a fleet of tanks and covered by a heavy artillery barrage, the American troops swept forward early on August 29 against the German lines on the Juvigny plateau. The bat- tle was thus described by a correspondent: "The Americans took the village of Juvigny after bitter resistance. Their positions extended north toward Chavigny late this afternoon, when the battle had developed into one of the most desperate in which Americans had yet fought. The Yankees' advance was slowed up by the bitter de- fense of the Germans as the afternoon advanced. The German positions were shelled most vigorously by heavy guns, mortars and light pieces, firing almost point blank, as well as by long range naval guns, which searched the positions far and near. And then the infantry advanced. "Up over the plateau the infantrymen went toward Juvigny and across the little railroad running north and south. The Germans imme- diately began to employ the tactics of similar retreats, leaving their rear defended by a line of machine guns hidden behind every clump of brush, promontory and woods. Only a few detachments of infantry were left, the army again adopting meas- ures calculated to save the most men possible. From Couronne woods and another little wood standing like sentinels behind Juvigny and the American lines the German guns delivered a deadly crossfire. Juvigny is only a village, but located along the side of a hill, it offered a peculiar opportunity for defense, until the advancing forces moved into position from which they were able to make it untenable. The resistence then stopped, the Germans retiring farther east into more broken ground." On the same day that the Americans took Juvig- ny, the French captured Noyon, an important center for which there had been severe fighting. The British reached the west bank of the Somme, opposite Brie and Peronne, and captured Bapaume. On August 31 the British announced that the whole of the Lys salient, including the famous Mont Kemmel, the "key to Ypres," had been taken. On September 1 they captured Peronne, Bulecourt, and St. Denis. On the same day Americans for the first time fought on Belgian soil and captured Voormezeele. On September 2, the British pierced the Drocourt-St. Quent "switch line" and began a drive toward Douai and Cambrai. By the 4th they had crossed the Canal du Noyrd. At the same time the Germans evacuated Lens. On this day the Germans were retreating on a front of 130 miles from Ypres south to Noyon. They withdrew before the Americans in the Vesle re- gion. On September 6 the French took Ham and began a drive on La Fere. By the 9th the Ger- mans had been driven back to the original Hin- denburg line, where their resistance began to strengthen. Enepiy's Effort Spent On September 10 Field Marshal Haig issued the following order of the day to the British armies in France: "One month has now passed since the British armies, having successfully withstood all the at- tacks of the enemy, once more took the oflfensive in their turn. In that short space of time, by a series of brilliant and skillfully executed actions, we have repeatedly defeated the same German armies whose vastly superior numbers compelled our retreat last spring. Wihat has happened on the British front has happened also on the front of our allies. "Already we have pressed beyond our old battle lines of 1917, and have made a wide breach in the enemy's strongest defenses. "In this glorious accomplishment all ranks, arms and services of the British armies in France have borne their part in the most worthy and honorable manner. "The capture of 75,000 prisoners and 750 guns in the course of four weeks' fighting speaks for the magnitude of your efforts and the magnificence of your achievement. "We have passed through many dark days to- gether. Please God, these never will return. The enemy has now spent his effort and we rely con- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END fidently upon each one of you to turn to full advantage the opportunity your skill, courage and resolution have created." Battle of St. Mihiel September 12 will always be a red letter day in the American military annals, for it was on that day that the 1st army under the leadership of Gen. Pershing won the first really large operation under- taken by the expeditionary force in France. This was the attack on and wiping out of the famous St. Mihiel salient. A dispatch written on the first day of the attack described it as follows: "The attack, which started early this morning, extended on the southern side for a distance of twelve miles, from St. Mihiel northeastward to Pont-a-Mousson and northward from St. Mihiel for a distance of eight miles. "French troops, co-operating with the Ameri- cans and under Gen. Pershing's direction struck at the southern point of the salient at St. Mihiel. The offensive, the first undertaken on a pretentious scale by the Americans, was planned by the Ameri- can staff and is being executed by American of- ficers and troops. Tanks, artillery, airplanes, even down to the narrow gauge roads rushing forward ammunition — all are manned by Americans. "To the east of St. Mihiel the Americans have captured Thiacourt, Pannes and Nonsard. North of St. Mihiel, Gen. Pershing's men have taken Com- bres and have reached the western outskirts of Donmartin La Montaigne, about six or seven miles up toward Verdun, as well as Les Eparges and the neighboring hills, it is reported. "The attack was launched this morning at 5 o'clock after a tornado of artillery preparation which lasted four hours. Light, medium and heavy artillery swept the German positions with gas, high explosives and shrapnel shells. The en- tire triangle for miles back was an inferno of blasting metal, fairly smothering the enemy positions. "In many oases smoke screens were used to add to the demoralization of the boche and to render uncertain the aim of his machine gunners. "Promptly at the zero hour the American troops left their trenches; some deployed as skir- mishers where the nature of the ground permitted, others in platoon formation, Avave following wave. There was not a hitch along the entire line. The infantry advance was synchronized with the artil- lery behind an intense rolling barrage timed for an advance of 100 meters every four minutes. "When the infantry started to advance, a per- fect storm of aerial missiles was loosed over the German rear lines to supplement the devastation of the artillery. "Railroad centers, bridges, hangars, munition supply centers, billeting areas and everything of value were subjected to an intense rain of bombs dropped by American aviators. "Within a comparatively short time reports came back through liaison ofiBcers and signal corps cen- ters that the advance was moving with clock-like regularity. The first objectives were reached early, and the troops, whose fighting is described as mag- nificent, stormed ahead to the next objective. "In many instances the progress was so rapid that the troops reached their designated points ahead of schedule, and it was necessary to read- just the artillery fire. Soon after their progress was such that the order came back from the obser- vation stations for the artillery to move forward. While certain batteries speeded up their fire, others hastily hooked up, and with horses galloping, rolled forward to new positions. "The tanks did splendid service. Heavy con- crete 'pill boxes,' sheltering machine guns, were encountered at frequent intervals, as well as other naturally strong machine gun emplacements. These the American manned tanks put out of action, either by direct fire or by charging over them, killing the crews and wrecking the pieces. Heavy belts of barbed wire also were torn apart for the advance of the infantry. "After the first hour there was never a question of who held supremacy in the air. At the outset of the assault there were a few boche fliers aloft, but within a few minutes they had been crashed by the American pilots or were speedily winging their way toward the rear lines. "This left the American observation planes free to check and direct the artillery fire without molestation, while the heavy bombers worked without interference save for anti-craft guns, many of which were soon located and put out of action by the American light artillery. "The enemy artillery fire fluctuated in intensity and accuracy. At some points the German heavies responded with a strong fire at first, while at other places the 'arriving' shells were infrequent and fired spasmodically. The enemy artillery at no time was able to interrupt the infantry schedule, and on the whole was altogether ineffective. "As the action progressed the enemy's big gun fire dwindled, indicating that the Germans, aroused by the progress of the Yankees, were withdraw- ing their heavies for fear of losing them. "Prisoners declared they had been expecting a drive by Gen. Pershing some place east of Ver- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END dun, but were uncertain as to the exact sector in which it would be made. They explain the recent raids made by their troops and the bonuses offered for American prisoners had been actuated by the desire of the commanders to keep track of the American units in the line in this region and the sectors farther east. "The first village fell into the hands of the Americans within forty-five minutes, and from then on came reports of other villages that had been occupied. "Meanwhile American cavalry was waiting at advantageous points for the order to move. When it seemed that the infantry had secured a sufficient break-through the horse troops galloped off along the hilly roads of this region and soon were re- ported operating several miles to the north, where they seized and held important places, ready to cut down fleeing enemy soldiers or to intercept the movement of reserves toward the front. "By the 13th the St. Mihiel salient had been wiped out and the enemy is now virtually with his back on the famous Wotan Hindenburg line, with the American and French forces paralleling him from Verdun to the Moselle." Battles in Argonne Forest Gen. Pershing's troops continued fighting steadily and systematically advancing here and there and wearing out the Germans by a steady pressure. On September 26 after due prepara- tion they began another offensive, attacking along a front of twenty miles from the Meuse westward through the Argonne forest. The start of this bat- tle, which developed into one of the bloodiest in the war for the Americans, was described thus by an Associated Press correspondent: "The Americans attacked on a front from the Meuse river northwest of Verdun through the Ar- gonne front to the Aisne. This front is northwest of the lines established by the Americans after wiping out the St. Mihiel salient. "It was the St. Mihiel victory — Gen. Pershing's first great drive — that made possible today's offen- sive, because it freed the allies of flank attack from the old St. Mihiel salient and opened up necessary communication to supply the troops north and west of Verdun. The battle was opened with a terrific bom- bardment of the German lines, lasting eleven hours. The last hour of shelling consisted of intensive drum fire barrage. "In a thick fog, at 5:30 o'clock this morning, Americans and French went over the top. "Resistance at first was rather weak, but stif- fened sharply as the Americans and French advanced. The Germans, according to all indica- tions, were expecting the attack, and as the bom- bardment proceeded, withdrew a large part of their troops to rear positions. "Evidently fearing loss of artillery, they also withdrew their cannon, leaving only machine gunners to harass the advance. As a result the losses of Americans and French were remarkably light. "Pennsylvania, Kansas and Missouri troops of Ma j. -Gen. Liggett's corps took Varennes, Mont- blainville, Vauquois and Cheppy by storm. "Other American corps fought their way across Forges brook, northwest of Verdun, and captured the Bois de Forges. They wrested from the enemy the towns of Malancourt, Bethincourt, Montfaucon, Cuisy, Nantillos, Septsarges, Danneoux and Ger- court-et-Drillancourt. Prisoners began coming back soon after the attack opened, and before nightfall the Americans had counted more than 5,000." Break Hindenburg Line On September 29 British and American troops smashed through the Hindenburg line at its strong- est point between Cambrai and St. Quentin and advanced several miles beyond it. British troops entered the suburbs of Cambrai and outflanked St. Quentin. Many large towns and scores of villages were freed of the invader. Twenty-two thousand prisoners and more than 300 guns were captured. Meanwhile the Belgian army to the north tore a great hole in the German lines run- ning from Dixmude ten miles from the North sea, southward. Dixmude was captured and the Belgians pressed eastward, winning many important towns and heights, until they were within two miles of Roul- ers, the center of communication for the German lines in the whole of Flanders and for the German submarine bases of Ostend and Zeebrugge. The Belgians captured 5,500 men and 300 guns. "The breaking of the Hindenburg line below Cambrai was accomplished by one of the most remarkable feats of the war," wrote a corres- pondent. "The attack began when one English division crossed the wide and deep Scheldt canal near Belleglise on floats, rafts and improvised bridges, storming the line on the heights to the east. While they were sweeping over these lines and up the rising ground to the east, other troops crossed to the north and south to give support. It was a surprise for the Germans and the success is measured by the swiftness of the advance, once the canal was crossed. "Town after town fell until the city of Cambrai was passed both on the north and the south. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END "The Canadian troops rushed down from the northwest to be the first to enter the city, and soon won their way into the northwestern suburbs, but it is doubtful that they were the victors in the race, as almost at the same time the 63d naval division entered the southern outskirts. "The stage where the American troops took part in the world drama was a little to the north of where the British divisions swam the river. At this point the canal is tunneled underground. The Americans advanced against the main Hinden- burg line and captured the town of Bellecourt and Naury. The Americans who made this ad- vance were from New York, Tennessee, and North and South Carolina." Tribute^ to Americans "Never in this war have we seen keener or braver soldiers or more intelligent, high minded men than the two divisions in the fighting north of St. Quentin," wrote the official correspondent with the Australian forces in France, in describing the American assault on the Hindenburg line in the direction of Joncourt on Sunday. "Some day, when the full story of this battle can be told, the Ameri- can people will thrill with pride in these magni- ficent troops upon whom a tremendous task fell. They were faced by the most formidable task that could be imposed upon them— the breaking of two double systems of the greatest defense line the German empire ever constructed. "On the left of their attack there was some uncertainty regarding the situation and this in- creased the difficulty of their work, yet these troops, working under the enthusiasm of their high ideals, carried through their assault, penetrated deeper even than had been intended and delivered a blow which attracted the greater part of the enemy's resistance. Beyond all question they made it possible to break the great defensive line in a posi- tion of the utmost importance to the allied cause." Early in October the Germans began evacuat- ing Lille and other towns in northern France and in Belgium, and to remove their heavy artillery from the Belgian coast. On October 3 the French launched three drives — one north of St. Quentin, another north of Reims and a third to the east in Champagne. All were successful, netting much territory and many prisoners. On October 4 the Americans resumed the at- tack west of the Meuse and advanced their lines from one to three miles, taking Hill 240 and the villages of Gesnes, Fleville, Chehery and La Forges. In the face of heavy artillery and machine gun fire, troops from Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsyl- vania, Virginia and West Virginia forced the Ger- mans back to the so called Kriemhilde line. In the Champagne, American and French troops struck to the north and west, capturing St. Soup- let and other places, this success having been made possible by the previous capture of Blanc Mont with some 3,000 prisoners. On the 6th the Ameri- cans captured St. Etienne. On October 9, the Americans pressed on to the southern outskirts of Xivry and entered Chaune wood. In the course of the operation they took 2,000 prisoners. On the same day (October 9) the dispatches from the front told of the first great, clean break through the Hindenburg system on the west. The armies of Field Marshal Haig, under Generals Home, Byng and Rawlinson, re-enforced by Ameri- can divisions, swept through a twenty-mile gap torn in the enemy defenses. At its deepest points the advance, led by cavalry, swept from nine to twelve miles beyond the Cambrai-Le Catelet-St. Quentin line and almost reached the line of the La Selle and Sambre rivers. Caudry, Clary, Bo- hain and a score of villages were freed. The advancing victorious divisions marched unopposed through the towns hastily deserted by the fleeing enemy. Le Cateau was taken by the British October 10, and the advance was continued all along the line practically on the whole front. The enemy was forced to give up his positions north of the Suippe and the Arnes; on the 11th French cavalry entered Laneauville. The Argonne forest was finally cleaned up by the Americans and not a German remained in that great wooded area which had been the scene of such sanguinary fighting. Congratulated by Rawlinson On October 12 Gen. Sir Henry Rawlinson, com- manding the British 4th army, with which an American division had been operating, sent to the general commanding the division, comprising troops from Tennessee and the Carolinas, the fol- lowing telegram: "On this occasion I desire to convey to you and all the members of the staff, as well as all other ranks of the division, my heartiest con- gratulations on your victory. "The gallantry of your infantry and the pre- cision with which the staff arrangements worked fJl me with admiration and it has given me great pleasure to report your unqualified success to Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig." Capture of La Fere French troops on October 13 captured the for- tress of La Fere, the strongest point on the whole of the south end of the old Hindenburg line. They COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END also entered Laon and occupied the forest of St. Gobain. In the north French troops captured Roulers on the 14th while the Belgians captured Hage- brook, Gitsberg and Beverein, with 3,000 pris- oners. On October 15 the Americans took and passed St. Juvin after desperate fighting. Taking of Grandpre The American troops on October 16 occupied the town of Grandpre, on the north bank of the Aire river, north of the Argonne forest. Grandpre is only a village and its normal population is less than 1,500, but the place is of great strategic im- portance. It was the junction of the railways feeding a great part of the German army. After their long struggle for mastery in the Argonne woods, the Americans moved several companies of infantry over the Aire river, which cuts across the northern end of the wood south of Grandpre, and under cover of heavy artillery fire moved al- most without stopping, along the eastern flank of the position and into the town. On the western side the French had advanced along the roads, making possible a junction of the American 1st army and the French 4th army. German Retreat in Belgium By this time (October 16) it was made clear that the Germans had started a retreat on a tre- mendous scale from northern Belgium. French cavalry approached Thielt, seven miles from the banks of the Ghent-Bruges canal. The canal itself is only ten miles from the border of Holland. So fast was the enemy retreating that the French, British and Belgian infantry, at least in the center of the battle front, lost touch entirely with the enemy. The Belgians, advancing astride the Thou- rout-Bruges and Thourout-Ostend roads, defeated the Germans, who retreated rapidly. Bruges and Ostend Taken October 17 was a day of rejoicing for the allies, for Belgian cavalry entered Bruges, Zee- brugge was abandoned, the British occupied Os- tend, Lille was taken, practically undamaged, while the Germans, farther south, evacuated Douai. King Albert and Queen Elizabeth entered Ostend the same day. Northeast of Bohain, American and British troops, attacking over a nine mile front, gained nearly three miles at points. These advances were made despite seven German divisions hurled against them. Some 3,000 prisoners were taken. The Americans on October 11 advanced north of Romagne, taking Bantheville without artillery preparation. The Americans pushed the German infantry and machine gunners back after fighting that lasted all day. Northwest of Grandpre the Americans cap- tured Talma farm in the face of a stiff machine gun resistance. There was much fighting at close quarters throughout the day. Praised by Field Marshal Haig High praise was given to the 27th and 30th divisions of the 2d American army by Field Mar- shal Haig in a special communique devoted to their exploits, issued October 19. He said of these divisions: "During the course of the last three weeks the 27th and 30th divisions of the 2d American army, co-operating with the 4th British army, have par- ticipated with great gallantry and success in three or more offensives and a number of lesser attacks. "In the last three days the two divisons have fought their way forward to the high ground west of the Sambre-Oise canal, repulsing many counter- attacks and advancing five miles. They took 5,000 prisoners and may guns. Valenciennes, the last city of importance re- maining in German hands in French Flanders, was reached by the British October 20, and on the fol- lowing day they drove through strong German defenses over a fifteen mile front extending from Valenciennes down to a point east of Le Gateau. Nearly a dozen villages were taken in the advance. Victories Unbroken On October 23 American troops captured strong- ly fortified hills in the Meuse region and took Talma farm and the village of Bellejoyeuse north- west of Grandpre. Victories continued to be an- nounced from day to day on all parts of the front. Sometimes they were of comparatively lit- tle importance, but oftener they recorded decisive triumphs over large forces of the enemy. Armis- tice negotiations had been begun before this, but the allies on the one hand were pressing their advantage to the utmost, while the Germans in response to appeals from Marshal von Hindenburg, the crown prince and other leaders were resisting the best they could. One of the last heavy battles in which the Americans took part was that on November 1, when the 1st army took Champigneulle and Landres-et-St. Georges after a heavy artillery prep- aration. Their advance on this occasion and previously enabled them to threaten the enemy's most important line of communication, for which reason the opposition to them was stujjborn. Val- enciennes was finally taken by the British Novem- COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END ber 2. Gen. Haig's forces then pressed on forward toward Maubeuge. On November 4 the Americans reached Stenay and on the 6th they crossed the Meuse. By the 7th they entered Sedan, the place made famous by the downfall of Napoleon III, in the war of 1870. On another part of the Ameri- can front, the enemy retreated so fast that the infantry had to resort to motor cars to keep in touch with the foe. It was the same on the other fronts. By November 10 Brussels was within range of Gen. Haig's guns. Here is the descrip- tion of the last day's fighting on November 11 as given in an Associated Press dispatch: Final Fight by Americans "Thousands of American heavy guns fired the parting shot to the Germans at exactly 11 o'clock this morning. The line reached by the American forces at 11 o'clock today was being staked out this afternoon. The Germans hurled a few shells into Verdun just before 11 o'clock. "On the entire American front, from the Moselle to the region of Sedan, there was artillery activity in the morning, all the batteries preparing for the final salvos. "At many batteries the artillerists joined hands, forming a long line as the lanyard of the final shot. There were a few seconds of silence as the shells shot through the heavy mist. Then the gunners cheered. American flags were raised by the soldiers over their dugouts and guns and at the various headquarters. Northeast of Verdun the American infantry began to advance at 9 o'clock this morning after artillery preparation in the direction of Ornes. "The German artillery responded feebly, but the machine gun resistance was stubborn. Never- theless, the Americans made progress. The Ameri- cans had received orders to hold the positions reached by 11 o'clock, and at those points they began to dig in, marking the advanced positions of the American line when hostilities ceased. Along the American front the eleventh hour was like awaiting the arrival of a new year. The gun- ners continued to fire, counting the shells as the time approached. The infantry were advancing glancing at their watches. The men holding at other places organized their positions to make themselves more secure. "Then the individual groups unfurled the stars and stripes, shook hands and cheered. Soon after- ward they were preparing for luncheon. All the boys were hungry, as they had breakfasted early in anticipation of what they considered the great- est day in American history." Last French Communique The last French communique was as follows: "In the fifty-second month of a war without precedent in history, the French army, with the aid of the allies, has achieved the defeat of the enemy. "Our troops, animated by the purest spirit of sacrifice, and giving, during four years of unin- terrupted fighting, a sublime example of endurance and heroism daily, have fulfilled the task confided to them by the mother country, meeting at times with indomitable energy the enemy's assaults and at other times themselves attacking, thus bringing victory. "They have, after a decisive offensive of four months, thrown into disorder, beaten and thrown out of France the powerful German army. They have compelled it to beg for peace. "All the conditions required for the suspension of hostilities having been accepted by the enemy, an armistice came into force today at 11 o'clock." Last British Report Field Marshal Haig sent the following report to the British war office on the evening of Novem- ber 11: "Shortly before dawn this morning Canadian troops of the 1st army under Gen. Home cap- tured Mons. "At the cessation of hostilities this morning we had reached the general line of the Franco- Belgian frontier, east of Avesnes, Jeumont,, Xivry, four miles east of Mons, Chievres, Lessines and Grammont." Part Played by American Soldiers In a brief review of the part played by the American troops in the fighting on the front in France, Junius B. Wood, correspondent of the Chi- cago Daily News attached to the expeditionary forces from the start, cabled November 13, 1918, two days after the signing of the armistice: "Gen. Pershing's offer to throw in the Ameri- can troops wherever Marshal Foch deemed it neces- sary was taken advantage of continually. The French also put in a certain number of their own divisions under the command of the Americans, but they were inconsiderable. "European newspapers mentioned American troops as assisting in the latest Belgian activities in Flanders. Military reasons have made it inad- visable to disclose the exact number of these troops, but they may be roughly indicated by the fact that the Belgian fighting force was composed of rather more than three Americans to every four Belgians. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END "The Americans in the French, British and Italian armies were much less numerous in propor- tion to the total strength of the men of those nations. However, in these days when the fight- ing strength of armies is computed in millions of men, it may be said that the fighting strength of the Americans in Europe was not far from half of that of the French and British combined. "One thing clearly stands out. When Ameri- can divisions were included in the French and British armies they invariably received their full share of the fighting against the enemy. Time after time these fresh young soldiers from across the Atlantic were either the driving wedge in the allied attacks or the center around which the others rallied to withstand the German onslaughts. In either case they acquitted themselves nobly to their task. "This policy was started when the American 1st division was put in north of Montdidier on April 26. It was the division which was then the best trained American unit in France and it was used as the driving wedge in the attack to cut off the Montdidier salient. This is a piece of his- tory which hitherto has not been told. The French realized that the Americans were keen to show their valor and that it was a gallant thing to offer the Americans an opportunity to cover their arms with glory. The German offensive interfered with that plan and all the division did was to capture Cantigny, which was the first American offensive operation. "On June 1 the 2d division, composed of a brigade of marines and a brigade of infantry rest- ing near Gisors, received maps showing the billeting villages on the different nights when they were to march north to relieve the 1st division. On the same night a countermanding order came to pre- pare instantly to take motor trucks for a secret destination. "Before daylight thousands of French motor trucks driven by Chinese entered the different vil- lages and loaded up. The next afternoon the divi- sion was in the midst of a fight with the German wave that was sweeping toward Paris. The 2d division met the Germans on that Sunday afternoon at Le Thillot-Faure crossroads on the national highway between Chateau Thierry and Paris. "The fight which fell to the lot of this Ameri- can division was the high water mark of the hitherto successful German offensive of 1918. The fighting at Belleau wood, Vaux and Torcy followed. "On the same day the 3d division and the 28th division, which were training in the area, helped the French to hold back the Germans at the bridgehead of Chateau Thierry on the western bank of the Marne. These gallant fights, where the young American soldiers received their bap- tism of blood, told at that time, as well as in the days of bitter fighting by the 2d division, before the Germans realized that their advance had been halted. "War-tired Europe sparred for breath until July 15, when the Germans launched their last offensive. The American 42d (Rainbow) divi- sion received the brunt of the attack north of Chalons-sur-Marne. The French largely outnum- bered all the others on the long battle front, though British and Italian units and the 93d American di- vision, composed of negro infantry from Chicago, New York, Washington, South Carolina, Ohio, Maryland, Tennessee and Mississippi, were in- volved. The allied line never budged and Ger^ many was on the defensive from that time on. "Before the Germans had time to catch their breath the great allied offensive of July 18 was launched and turned the tide of the war. The 1st and 2d American Divisions were again selected as the driving force. With a Moroccan division be- tween them and with other French divisions on eith- er side they smashed in opposite Soissons at day- break, while other American divisions, co-operating on the Chateau Thierry side of the salient, started hammering. Before the Aisne was reached after weeks of fighting the 3d, 4th, 26th, 28th, 32d, 42d and 77th American divisions had taken part. "Divisions trained with the British were in the meantime getting action on the northern front. The participation of the 33d division in the fight- ing at Hamel and Albert won the personal praise of King George. Real fighting on the British front fell to the 27th and 30th divisions early in October, when they with a portion of the British forces were breaking the Hindenburg line across the Canal du Nord. The British took the outer works and the Americans swept over the main defenses. Australians who took part in the action on the following day said it was the hardest battle in their entire four years of desperate fighting. "The American divisions rapidly rounded into shape and the 1st army was organized, with Gen. Pershing in command, just before it nipped off the St. Mihiel salient on September 12. This salient had been a troublesome thorn in the side of France for four years. The 52d, 89th, 42d and 1st divisions, with the 2d division in reserves, at- tacked on the south side of the salient. The 26th division, accompanied by the 15th French divi- sion and the 2d French cavalry, struck the hitherto impregnable Eparges on the north side. This COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END brilliant operation, whicli was entirely American, was completed in twenty-two hours, when the French entered St. Mihiel. "Then on October 3, almost on the identical spot north of Chalons, where the 42d division three months earlier had stopped the German drive, the American 2d division was the center or driving wedge in the French attack which forced the Ger- mans back pellmell and liberated Reims and later Laon, with many square miles of country. "The rest of the fighting came in the last offen- sive, when the Americans were given the toughest spot on the entire line between Switzerland and the North Sea — ^the hinge position pivoting on Verdun and swinging from the Meuse to the Aisne. The 33d, 18th, 4th, 79th, 37th, 91st 35th, 28th and 77lh divisions made the initial attack on September 26, with the 3d, 32d, and 92d divi- sions in support. Later in the days of fighting the 1st, 5th, 26th, 29th, 42d, 78th, 82d and 90th divi- sions took their places in the line. "In the midst of all this fighting some of these divisions and other new divisions were trans- ferred to the 2d army, which had then been formed." Determining Cause of Victory- Gen. Pershing, in the name of President Wil- son, presented the distinguished service medal to Marshal Joffre, the victor of the Marne, the ceremony taking place in Paris, November 13, 1918. Gen. Pershing said: "This medal is a symbol of our respect for your noble character and of our admiration for the great task you accomplished. Your name will always be associated with the results we have ob- tained." Marshal Joffre in thanking Gen. Pershing said: "I am proud to have been the godfather of the noble American army which was the determining cause of our victory. I love the American soldiers as though they were mine." Negotiations for Armistice Long before the last shots were fired in the war the Germans, seeing that there could be but one outcome to the conflict, asked for terms of an armistice. On October 3 Chancellor von Hert- ling resigned his office and was succeeded by Prince Maxmilian of Baden, who immediately set about getting peace for his sorely tried country. He announced his policy to the reichstag and on October 5 he addressed a note to President Wilson asking him to acquaint all the belligerents with Germany's request for an armistice. On October 29 the supreme council and its military advisers had agreed upon tentative armis- tice terms, a resume of which was sent to President Wilson for his approval. The men attending the conferences at which the decisions were reached divided the work into three sections. One attend- ed by Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Minister Balfour of Britain, Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino of Italy, Col. E. M. House, repre- senting the United States, and the leaders of the French government, dealt with the whole question in a broad manner. A second section dealt with the strictly military questions. The United States representatives on this was Gen. Tasker Bliss. A third conference dealt with naval affairs, and Ad- miral Benson and Yice-Admiral Sims of the Amer- ican navy took part in this with the representatives of all the allied navies. The first formal meeting of the representatives of the entente powers took place October 31. An informal conference took place at the home of Col. E. M. House, President Wilson's personal representative, in the forenoon prior to the as- sembling at Versailles. Among others present were M. Clemenceau and M. Pichon, respectively the French premier and foreign minister; Sig. Or- lando and Baron Sonnino, Italian premier and for- eign minister, and David Lloyd George, the the British prime minister. In addition to the French, Italian and British representatives. Dr. M. R. Vernitch, the Serbian minister to France, and Eleutherios Venizelos, the Greek premier, attended. The Americans present, in addition to Col House, were Arthur H. Frazier, secretary of the American embassy; Joseph C. Crew and Gordon Auchincloss, who acted as secretaries for Col. House; Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, United States representative in the war council, with Gen. Lockridge and Col. Wallace as secretaries, and Admiral Benson, with Commander Carter and Lieutenant Commander Russell as his secretaries. The last to arrive at the conference was Marshal Foch. He was alone, without aid or orderly. At Versailles the business was over in a couple of hours and a long line of automobiles with the representatives of the powers returned to Paris. Terms Are Drafted On November 1 another conference took place soon after noon. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, representa- tive of the United States, was the first delegate to reach the Trianon palace, arriving at 1:50 p. m. He was followed shortly afterward by Premier Clemenceau, Marshal Foch, Field Marshal Haig, Col. E. M. House, President Wilson's personal representative, and David Lloyd George, the Brit- ish minister. COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END The session was held in ihe large chamber on the main floor of the Trianon palace, with win- dows overlooking the garden. The hall had little ornamentation beyond a marble clock and can- delabra upon a mantel topped with massive mir- rors. Immediately in front of this extended a wide mahogany table the entire length of the room, with the members facing one another on two sides. Col. House sat on the left side next to Premier Orlando of Italy, with Premier Clemenceau directly opposite. The deliberations proceeded with complete privacy. Guards along the Boulevard of the Queen kept the crowds from approaching the iron gate leading to the palace. After several sessions the armistice terms Vi^ere drafted and signed at Ver- sailles November 4, complete harmony having been reached by the conference. On November 5, Pres- ident Wilson notified the German government that Marshall Foch was authorized and ready to re- ceive accredited representatives to whom he would communicate the terms of armistice agreed upon by the supreme war council at Versailles. Germany Sends Envoys On the evening of November 7, the following information was officially published in Paris: "There was received the seventh of November at 12:30 a. m. the following from the German high command by order of the German govern- ment to Marshal Foch: " 'The German government, having been in- formed through the president of the United States that Marshal Foch had received powers to receive accredited representatives of the German govern- ment and communicate to them conditions of an armistice, the following plenipotentiaries have been named by it: " 'Mathias Erzberger, Gen. H. K. A. Winter- feld, Count Alfred von Oberndorff, Gen. von Grue- nell and Naval Captain von Salow. " 'The plenipotentiaries request that they be informed by wireless of the place where they can meet Marshal Foch. They will proceed by auto- mobile with subordinates of the staff to the place thus appointed.' "Orders were given to cease fire on the front at 3 p. m., until further orders. "On November 7, at 1:25 a. m., Marshal Foch sent the following to the German command: " 'If the German plenipotentiaries desire to meet Marshal Foch and ask him for an armistice they will present themselves to the French out- posts by the Chimay-Fourmies-La Capelle-Guise road. Orders have been given to receive them and conduct them to the spot fixed for the meeting.' "A German wireless dispatch received Novem- ber 7, at 1 p. m. said: " 'Germ.an general headquarters to the allies' general headquarters: The German commander- in-chief to Marshal Foch: The German pleni- potentiaries for an armistice leave Spa today. They will leave here at noon and reach at 5 o'clock this afternoon the French outposts by the Chimay-Fourmies-La Capelle-Guise road. There will be ten persons in all, headed by Secretary of State Erzberger.' "The following wireless dispatch in German was received at 1:50 p. m. : " 'German general headquarters to the allied general headquarters: The supreme German comm^and to Marshal Foch: From the German outposts to the French outposts our delegation will be accompanied by a road mending com- pany to enable automobiles to pass the La Capelle road, which has been destroyed.' "The following wireless in German was re- ceived at 6 p. m. " 'The German supreme command to Marshal Foch: By reason of delay the German delega- tion will not be able to cross the outpost until between 8 and 10 o'clock to-night at Haudroy, two kilometers northeast of La Capelle.' " In London on the same day it was announced that the British naval representative at the armis- tice negotiations would be Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first sea lord of the admiralty. On Thursday, November 7, a false report that the armistice had been signed was sent broad- cast and caused premature celebrations through- out the world. Delegates Meet French Marshal The following official note was given out in Paris on the afternoon of November 8: "The German delegates arrived this morning at Marshal Foch's headquarters. They made a formal demand for an armistice. The text of the conditions of the allies was read and delivered to them. They asked a cessation of arms. It was refused them. The enemy has seventy-two hours to answer." Marshal Foch reported that the German plen- ipotentiaries arrived at his headquarters with full power from the chancellor. Soon after Marshal Foch had presented the allies' terms to the Germans the courier carrying them started for Spa. He was preceded by a wireless message from the German delegates. "From the German plenipotentiaries for an armistice to the imperial chancellor and the Ger- man high command," the message read, "Friday COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END morning at allied general headquarters the pleni- potentiaries received the conditions of an armis- tice, as well as a formal demand that they be accepted or refused within seventy-two hours, ex- piring on Monday morning at 11 o'clock, French time. "The German proposal for an immediate con- clusion and provisional suspension of hostilities was rejected by Marshal Foch. "A German courier bearing the text of the conditions of the armistice has been sent to Spa, no other means of communication being prac- ticable. "Please acknowledge receipt and send back courier as soon as possible with your latest in- structions. Sending of fresh delegates is not necessary for the moment." The French wireless service also gave out a dispatch sent by Gen. Winterfeld of the German armistice delegation to the German high com- mand, announcing that the courier, Capt. Hell- dorff, would cross the lines between 6 and 8 p. m., and that the French command had taken meas- ures for his safety. Describing the arrival of the German envoys at the French lines, the Intransigent said the automobiles carried white flags and were preceded by a trumpeter. Some French soldiers under an officer approached them on the road just outside the line of the left wing of Gen. Debeney's army near La Capelle, at 10 o'clock on the evening of November 7. The delegates established their identity and showed their credentials. The eyes of the mem- bers of the German party were then blindfolded and the delegates proceeded to the place where they spent the night, arriving there about 2 o'clock on the morning of November 8. The company of German road menders which accompanied the envoys did not cross the lines. The party started early in the morning for the French headquarters, arriving there at 6 o'clock. Gen. Winterfeld and Gen. von Gruennel wore uniforms of the rank of general. Von Salow was in the uniform of an admiral of the fleet. Mathias Erzberger and Count von Oberndorff were in plain civilian dress. Historic Meeting Described The Paris correspondent of the London Times described the historic meeting somewhat more in detail. He telegraphed on November 10: "The German parliamentaries did not reach the French lines until after 9 o'clock on Thursday evening, when the French party awaiting them near La Capelle saw three motor cars advancing, together with a working party of pioneers. The journey of the German delegates had been ex- ceedingly difficult. The French had lit up the road with searchlights and fires. "At La Capelle a French guard, under the command of a superior officer, met the delegates and scrutinized their papers, and a French motor car with officers attached to the German party, placed itself at the head of the convoy, and an- other French staff car brought up the rear. The mission proceeded at once to the Chateau Franc- port, quite close to Choisy-au-Bac, which had been set aside as their residence. There members of Marshal Foch's staff" met them. "On Friday morning the delegates were con- ducted to Rethondes station, in the forest of Compiegne, on the Compiegne-Soissons line, where Marshal Foch's special train was lying. Marshal Foch was accompanied by Gen. Weygand and Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first sea lord. "Herr Erzberger at once informed Marshal Foch that he had been instructed to ask for an immediate suspension of hostilities. Marshal Foch in reply informed them that this request had been foreseen in the terms of the armistice settled at Versailles and could not be granted. With cold military precision Marshal Foch then read the full text of those terms. "The delegates returned by car to their tem- porary residence at Francport, and after a brief consultation, requested authorization to send a courier to German headquarters at Spa. A wire- less message was dispatched from the Eiffel tower informing the Germans of the journey of this courier so as to obtain a cessation of fire along the front in the neighborhood of La Capelle to enable him to return to his lines. The bombard- ment, however, increased in violence when he reached the front, and in spite of all efforts by wireless to persuade the Germans to cease fire the bombardment was maintained with great intensity throughout the night. In the morning the Ger- mans suggested that it might be possible to get their messenger to German headquarters by air- plane. The French high command at once agreed and the Germans, by wireless, undertook that the French airplane, which should bear two large white streamers, should not be fired upon. A French airman was told to get ready for this unique journey and almost immediately after- ward a further wireless came from the Germans announcing that the orders given for the cessa- tion of fire along La Capelle road were going to be carried out, and that the German officer COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END could, therefore, proceed by road to his desli- quarters at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, Novem- nation." ber 10. Capt. Helldorf was long delayed, while The German courier bearing the text of the the German batteries persisted in bombarding' ihe armistice conditions arrived at German head- route he had to follow, but he finally got through. Armistice Signed THE new German government considered the armistice conditions at a sitting, late Sunday, in Berlin. Having decided to accept them, it tele- phoned instructions from Berlin to Spa, German headquarters, authorizing the delegates to affix their signatures to the agreement. The courier, who was waiting at Spa, departed immediately for the lines and crossed them with- out incident north of Chimay. He reached the Chateau de Francport at about 2 o'clock Monday morning and found the German plenipotentiaries waiting for him. They asked after they had read their instructions to see Marshal Foch, who was in his special train on a switch near the chateau. Marshal Foch, with Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first lord of the British navy, received them. A discussion took place upon certain clauses, particularly that concerning the mainte- nance of the blockade. The German delegates signed the document at 5 o'clock. The news was immediately sent by telegraph, cable, telephone and wireless to all parts of the world, causing one of the most tremendous outbursts of enthusi- asm in the history of the world. In Paris and London the celebration lasted three or four days. Joy in Paris Scenes of the wildest enthusiasm were enacted in the chamber of deputies when Premier Clemen- ceau read the conditions of the German armistice. The whole chamber rose to greet the premier, while the galleries, in which was a predominance of soldiers in uniform and women, cheered for several minutes. Prolonged cheering greeted the announcement that Alsace-Lorraine would be occupied, and the name of Marshal Foch, as the signer of the docu- ment, was enthusiastically received. The municipal council of Paris had the fol- lowing posted on walls in all parts of the city: "Citizens, victory is here — triumphant victory! The vanquished enemy lays down his arms. Blood ceases to flow. Let Paris emerge from her ordered reserve. Let us give free course to our joy and enthusiasm and hold back our tears. "Let us testify to our infinite gratitude to our grand soldiers and their incomparable chiefs by festooning our houses in the colors of France and our allies. Our dead can sleep in peace. The sublime sacrifice they have made for the future of their race and the salvation of their country will not be in vain. "The day of glory has come. Long live the republic! Long live immortal France!" In London Waving flags and cheering, an enormous crowd pressed into Downing street before noon on the 11th shouting "Lloyd George! Lloyd George!" Finally the cheers and shouts brought the premier and Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, to a second floor window of the premier's residence. When they appeared pande- monium ensued. For five minutes the crowd cheered and waved flags frantically, and then they sang. "For he's a jolly good fellow." The premier stood passive and unsmiling, but his face was serene. When order and silence had been secured he be- gan to speak, as follows: "You are entitled to rejoice. The people of this country and of their allies and the people of our overseas dominions and of India have won a glorious victory. It was the sons and daughters of the people who have won it. It is the most wonderful victory for liberty in the history of the world. Let us thank God for it." Premier Lloyd George bowed and disappeared. Chancellor Bonar Law, after kissing his hand to the crowd as he pulled down the window, moved away. Hardly had the premier finished talking when a long file of shouting soldiers — British, Cana- dians, Australians, Americans, and a few from other allied countries — wedged their way through the throng and managed to reach the front of the premier's house, where they gave him a great ovation. A great multitude, waving flags, appeared be- fore Buckingham palace shortly before noon and cheered until the king and queen. Princess Mary and the duke of Connaught appeared on the bal- cony. The national anthem was sung repeatedly by the crowd. Speaking from the balcony, King George said: "With you I rejoice and thank God." Page : COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WAR FROM BEGINNING TO END At the admiralty there were calls for a speech from Sir Eric Geddes, the first lord. The crowds had collected there and hastily improvised plat- forms were erected for the first lord and the board of admiralty. Sir Eric Geddes called for three cheers for Vice-Admiral Beatty (commander of the grand fleet), and these having been given with great fervor, the crowds again asked for a speech, but the cheering drowned all else. The first lord called for cheers for the British blue- jackets. A special service of prayer was held at St. Paul's in the afternoon, the lord mayor and sher- iffs attending. Bands and the pipers of the Scots guards paraded through Whitehall, playing martial and patriotic airs. They were accompanied by sing- ing crowds who time and again sang the national anthem. In the United State.s President Wilson issued the formal proclama- tion on Monday morning, November 11, 1918: "My Fellow Countrymen: The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober, friendly counsel, and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world. "WOODROW WILSON." Secretary of State Lansing, issued the follow- ing statement: "The American people can rejoice that their patriotism, their loyalty and their splendid spirit of service and sacrifice have been rewarded. Prus- sian militarism is ended; it no longer menaces liberty and justice. But before us lie new tasks and new burdens, which we must assume with the same unity of purpose, the same devotion and zeal, as have characterized the republic during this great war. Let us, while we celebrate this day of victory, look forward to the future, conscious of our supreme duty to humanity, and confident in the united will of the nation."
