Detailed Report of How U. S. Men
Won Battles.
CRISIS CAME ON MARCH 21
Says American Operations Previous to
That Date Were Only a Part of
Their Training Pays Su
preme Tribute to Army.
Washington, Dec. 5. Gen. John .1.
Pershing's account of his stewardship
as commander of the American expe
ditionary forces was given to the pub
lic Wednesday by Secretary Baker.
It Is In the form of n preliminary re
port to tho secretary, covering opera
tions up to November 20, nfter the
Orninn collapse. It closes with theao
words from the leader of the great
army In France, expressing his feeling
for those who served under hlin:
"I pay the supremo tribute to our
olllccrs und sofdlcrs of tho line. When
I think of their heroism, their patience
under hardships, their unflinching spir
it of offensive action, I am filled with
emotion which I am unable to express.
Tlilr deeds aro Ir.:mortal and they
have earned the eternal gratitude of
our country."
Tho report begins with General
Pershing's departure for Franco to
pave the way for the army that was to
smash German resistance on the
Meuse and give vital aid to the allies
, In forcing Germany to Us knees 19
months later.
Crisis on March 21.
General Pershing views the encoun-
j tors before March 21 of this year, In
j which American troops participated as
, a part of their training, and dismisses
j them briefly. On that date, however,
) the great German offensive wns
t launched and a crucial sltuutlon quick
ly developed In the allied lines which
called for prompt uso of the four
American divisions that were at the
time "equal to any demands of battle
action."
"The crisis which this offensive de
veloped was such," General Pershing
says, "that on March 28 I placed at
the disposal of Marshal Foch, who had
ooen agreed upon as commander In
hief of the allied armies, all of our
forces. At his request the First divi
sion was transferred from the Toul
sector to a position In reserve at Chau
inont en Vexln.
"As German superiority In numbers
required prompt action, an agreement
was reached at the Abbcvlllo confer
ence of the allied premiers nnd com
manders and myself on May 2 by
which British shipping wns to trans
port ten American divisions to the
British army area, whore they were to
ho trained and equipped, nnd addition
nl British shipping was" to bo provided
for as many divisions as possible for
uso elsewhere.
Men Eager for Test.
"On April 20 tho First division had
?one Into the line In the Montdldler
snllent, on tho Plcnrdy Jmttle front.
Tactics had been suddenly revolution
ized to those of open warfare, and our
men, confident of tho results of their
training, were eager for the test. On
the morning of May 28 this division
ittackod the commanding German po
sition In Its front, taking with splendid
'lash the town of Cnntlgny nnd all
other objectives, which were organized
and held steadfastly against vicious
Dounter-nttacks and galling artillery
(Ire.
"Although local, this brilliant action
iad an eleetrlcnl effect, as It demon
strated our fighting qualities under
extreme battle conditions nnd also that
the enemy's troops were not.nltogether
Invincible."
Hold Foe at Chateau Thierry.
There followed Immediately the Ger
man thrust across the Alsne river to
ward Paris. He continues:
"The Third division, which had just
come from its preliminary training In
the trenches, was hurried to the
Mnrne. Its motorized machine-gun
battalion preceded the other units and
successfully held tho bridgehead at
the Mnrne, opposito Chateau Thierry.
"The Second division, in reserve
near Montdldler, was sent by motor
trucks nnd other available transport
to check tho progress of the enemy
toward Paris. The division aftacked
and retook tho town and railroad sta
tion at Bouresches and sturdily held
its ground against tho enemy's best
guard divisions.
"In the battle of Belleau wood, which
followed, our men proved their su
periority and gnlned a strong tactical
position, with fnr greater loss to the
enemy than to ourselves. On July 1,
before tho Second wns relieved, It cap
tured tho village of Vaux with splen
did precision.
Stand Between Paria and Foe.
"Meanwhile our Second corps, under
Mnj. Gen. George W. Read, had been
organized for tho eommnnd of our
divisions with tho British, which were
held back In training areas or as
signed to second-lino defenses. Five of
the ten divisions were withdrawn from
tho British area In June, three to re
lieve divisions in Lorraine and the
Vosgcs and two were sent to tho Paris
area to Join tho group of American
divisions which stood between the city
and any further advanco of the enemy
tn that direction."
By that time the great tide of Amer
ican troop movements to France was
In full swing and the older divisions
ould be used freely. The Forty-sec
ond, In line east of Reims, faced tho
German assault of July 15 and "held
their groimd unflinchingly;" on the
right flank four companies of the
Tweniy-clghth division faced "ad
vancing waves of German Infantry,"
and tho Third division held tho Mnrne
line, opposite Chateau Thierry, ngalnst
powerful ailllleiy and infantry iillack.
Slnglo Regiment Checks Enemy.
"A single regiment of tho Third
wrote one of tho most brllllnnt pages
In our military annals on this occa
sion," General Pershing snys. "It pre
vented tho crossing nt certain points
on Its front while, on either Hank,
tho Germans who hnd gained a foot
ing pressed forward. Our men, firing
in thrco directions, met tho Germnn
attacks with counter-nttneks at criti
cal points and succeeded In throwing
two Gorman divisions Into complete
confusion, enpturing COO prisoners."
Thus wns the stage set for tho
counter-offensive which, beginning
with the smashing of the enemy's
Mnrno salient, brought overwhelming
victory to the allies and the United
States In the eventful months that
havo followed. Tho Intimation Is
strong that General Pershing's advice
helped Mnrshal Foch to reach Ills de
cision to strike.
Counter-Offenslve Opens.
General Pershing continues:
"Tho great force of tho German
Chateau Thierry offensive established
the deep Marne salient, but the enemy
wns taking chances, and the vulnera
bility 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 wns made availnblo
for uso In n counter-offensive. The
place of honor In the thrust toward
Solssons on July 18 was given to our
First nnd Second divisions In com
pany vlth chosen French divisions.
"Without the usual brief warning of
n preliminary bombardment, tho
massed French and American artillery,
firing by the map, laid down Its rolling
bnrrage at dawn while the Infantry be
gan Its charge. The tactical handling
of our troops under these trying condi
tions was excellent throughout the ac
tion. "Tho enemy brought up large num
bers of reserves nnd made a stubborn
defense both with machine guns nnd
artillery, but through five days' fight
ing tho First division continued to ad
vance until It hnd gained the heights
above Solssons nnd captured the vil
lage of Berzy-le-Sec.
"The Second division took Beau Ite
palre farm and Vlerzy in a very rapid
vanco and reached a position in
front of Tlgny nt the end of its second
day. These two divisions captured 7,
000 prisoners and over 100 pieces of
artillery."
First American Army Formed.
The report describes In some detail
the work of completlnggtho reduction
of the snllent, mentioning the opera
tions of the Twenty-sixth, Third,
Fourth, Forty-second, Thirty-second,
nnd Twenty-eighth divisions. With
the situntlon on the Mnrne front thus
relieved, General Pershing writes, he
could turn to the organization of the
First American army and the reduction
df the St. Mlhlel salient, long planned
as the Initial purely American enter
prise. A troop concentration, nlded by gen
erous contributions of artillery and air
units by the French, began, Involving
the movement, mostly at night, of
COO.000 men.
A sector reaching from Port sur
Sellle, east of the Moselle, eastward
through St. Mlhlel to Verdun and Inter
enlarged to carry It to the edgeof the
forest of Argonnc wns taken over, the
Second Colonlnl French, holding the
tip of the snllent opposito St. Mlhlel
and the French Seventeenth corps, on
the heights above Verdun, being trans
ferred to General Pershing's command
Tho combined French, British, nnd
American air forces mobilized for the
battle, the report says, was the largest
aviation assembly over engaged on the
western front up to thnt time In n sin
gle operation.
Battle of St. Mlhlel.
Of the reduction of the St. Mlhlel
salient General Pershing says:
"After four hours' nrtlllcry prepa
ration the seven Amerlcnn divisions
In the front line advanced nt fi a. m.
on September 12, assisted by a limit
ed number of tanks manned partly by
Americans and partly by the French.
"These divisions, accompanied by
groups of wire-cutters nnd others
nnned with bnngnlore torpedoes, went
through the successive bands of
barbed wire that protected the ene
my's front lino nnd support trenches
In Irresistible wnves on schedule time,
breaking down nil defense of an en
emy demoralized by the great volume
of our artillery fire and our sudden
approach out of tho fog.
"Our First corps advanced to Thlnu
court, while our Fourth corps curved
back to the southwest through Non
sard. The Second Colonial French
corps made tho slight advanco re
quired of It on very difficult ground,
and the- Fifth corps toolc Its three
ridges and repulsed a counfer-nftack.
"A rapid march brought reserve reg
iments of n division of the Fifth corps
Into Vlgneulles in the enrly morning,
where- It linked up with patrols of our
Fourth corps, closing the snllent nnd
forming a new line west of Thlnueourt
to Vlgneulles und beyond Fresncs-rn-Woevre.
16,000 Prisoners Taken.
"At a cost of only 7,000 casualties,
mostly light, we had taken Ml.fKX) pi Is
oners and -1-J3 guns, a great qiiniiMty
of material, released the Inliiihltints
of many villages from enemy domina
tion and established our lines in ti po
sition to threaten Metz.
"This signal success of the Ameri
can First army In Its first offensive
was of prime Importance. The ulllw
found they hnd n formidable army fo
nld them, and the enemy learned final
ly flint ho had one to reckon with."
The report shows for tho first time
officially that with this brilliantly exe
cuted coup, General Pershing's men
hnd cleared tho way for the great ef
fort of the allies and American forces
to win n conclusive victory. The
American army moved nt once townrd
Its crowning achievement, the battle
of the Mouse.
The general tells a dramatic story
of this mighty bnttlc In thrco distinct
phases, beginning on tho night of
September 27, when Americans quick
ly took the places of tho French on
tho thinly held lino of this long, quiet
sector. Tho attack opened on Septem
ber 20, and tho Americans diovo
through entanglements, across No
Man's Land, to tako all the eminy's
first-line positions.
Battle of the Meuse.
Closing tho chapter, General Per
shing snys:
"On November 0 a division of tho
First corps reached a point on tho
Mouse opposito Sedan, 25 miles from
our lines of departure. Tho strategi
cal goal which was our highest hope
was gained. We hud cut tho enemy's
mnln line of communications, nnd
nothing could save ills army from
complete disaster.
"In all forty enemy divisions hnd
been used against us In the Meuse
Argonne bnttle. Between September
20 and November 0 wo tbok 20,059
prisoners nnd 408 guns on this front.
"Our divisions engaged were the
First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth, Twenty
ninth, Thirty-second, Thirty-third,
Thirty-fifth, Thirty-seventh, Seventy
eighth, Seventy-ninth, Eightieth,
Eighty-second, Eighty-ninth, Ninetieth
and Ninety-first.
"Mnny of our divisions remained in
line for n length of time that re
quired nerves of ateel, while others
were sent In ngnln nfter only u few
days of rest. The First, Fifth, Twenty-sixth,
Forty-second, , Seventy-seventh,
Eightieth, Eighty-ninth and
Ninetieth were In the lino twice.
Although some of the divisions
were fighting their first hnttlc,. they
soou became equal to tho best.
Other Corps Active.
The commander in chief does not
lose sight of tho divisions operating
with French or British armies during
tills time.
He tells of the work of the Second
corps, comprising the Twenty-seventh
nnd Thirtieth divisions, In the British
assault on the Hlndonburg line where
the St. Quentin canal passes through
a tunnel ; of bow the Second nnd Thirty-sixth
divisions got their chance In
October by being nsslgned to aid the
French In the drive from Reims, and
of the splendid fighting of the "Thirty
seventh and Ninety-first divisions, sent
to join the French army in Belgium.
Of the total strength of tho expedi
tionary force, General Pershing re
ports :
"There are In Europe nltogether, In
cluding a regiment nnd some snnltary
units with the Italian army, and the
organizations at Murmansk, also In
cluding these en route from the Stntes,
approximately 2,053,347 men, less our
losses."
"Of tills total there aro In France
1,338,109 combatant troops."
Problem of Equipment.
Of their equipment lie says:
"Our entry Into the war found us
with few of the auxiliaries necessary
for its conduct in tho modern sense.
Among our most Importnnt deficiencies
In material were artillery, aviation
and tanks.
"In order to meet our requirements
as rapidly as possible, wo accepted the
offer of the French government to pro
vide us with the necessary artillery
equipment of 70s, one 55-mllllmeter
howitzer and one 55 G. P. F. gun from
their own factories for 30 divisions.
"The wisdom of this course Is fully
demonstrated by the fnct that, al
though we soon began tho manufac
ture, of these classes of guns nt home,
there were no guns of the calibers
mentioned manufactured In America
on our front at the date the armistice
was signed. The only guns of these
types produced at home thus fur re
ceived In France are 109 75-mllllmeter
guns.
First U. S. Planes In May.
"In aviation wo were In the same
situation, and here again the French
government came to our aid until our
own nvintlon program should be under
wny. We obtained from the French
the necessary plapes for training our
personnel, and they havo provided us
with n total of 2,070 pursuit, observa
tion, und bombing plnnes.
"The first airplanes received from
home arrived in May, and together
wo have received 1,379. The first
American squadron completely
equipped by Amerlcnn production, in
cluding airplanes, crossed the German
lines on August 7, 1918.
"As to tanks, we were compelled
to rely upon the French. Uere,
however, we were less fortuiiate, for
the reason that tho French produc
tion could barely meet tho require
ments of their own armies.
"It should be fully renlized that the
French government has always taken
a most llhclal attitude and hns been
most anxious to give us every possi
ble assistance In meeting our deficien
cies In these as well as In other
respects. Our dependencies upon
France for artillery, aviation nnd
tanks wns, of course, due to the fact
that our Industries hnd not been ex
clusively devoted to military produc
tion. "All credit Is duo our own manu
facturers for their efforts to meet our
own requirements, as at the time tho
armistice was signed we were able to
look forward to the early supply of
practically aJl ovir ueceanltles froir
our own factories.''
