A. Clubhouse ia Manhattan Is popular to the extent of showing a 20 per cent higher occupancy than the average New York hostelry, according to 1930 statistics compiled by leading hotel accontants. Net profits for 1930, after all the operating charges, in tereet and taxes, were 184,236.42. Opened in March, 1929, and built for the purpose of providing a hame in New York for business and pro fessional women, as well as the transient women guest, the twenty- seven stoity Clubhouse, popullarly known as the A W A, was made possible throoggb the efforts of the 5,000 members of the American Wo-' man’s Association whose Clubhopse it is and from whon it takes Its name. This excellent management show ing is only part of an increasing ar- trial world. The 1930 census showed 10,000,000 women eng^^ in gain ful occupations. It has been esti mated that women control 41 per cent of the niuon*s wealth and speix from 85 to 90 per, cent of it4 money.

A SUGGESTION by your Fertilizer Dealer No. 5 in a Series appearing ie this newspaper Q'IDE dressing with Chilean Nitrate gives crops the push that sends them along with big-paying yields—and this year you can buy the best nitrogen—Chilean Nitrate—at lowest price in years. I am selling more Chilean Nitrate khan ever, because more of my farmers want it and want more of it. Better get your order in. Delivery jvhen you want it 1 I I - • 1 E xperience of thousands of farmers with Chilean Nitrate proves that this nat ural nitrogen fertilizer comes out on top with bigger yields. Improves quality, too. Get Chilean in the new 100-lb. bag—the bag without a backache. Be sure to say “Chilean” when you order your nitrate. “Chilean” is the real thing—^the natural nitrate.

M Utmmtmrm or InformatUmt pfauM refer to Ai No. 68 FOREWORD My primary purpose in writing this story of the American expeditionary forces in France is to render what I conceive to be an important service to my country. In that adventure there are many lessons useful to the ^American people, should they ever again be called to arms, and I felt it a duly to record then, as I saw them. The World war found us absorbed ia the pursuits of peace and quite unconscious of possible threat to our security. We would listen to no warnings of danger. We had mAe small preparation for defense and none for aggression. So when war actually came upon us we had to change the very habits of our lives and minds to meet its realities. TTie slow processes by which we achieved these changes and applied our latent power to the problems of combat in Europe, despite our will, our numbers and our wealth, I have endeavored to describe. Therein lie the lessons of which I write. I wish to dedicate this modest work to the men of all ranks who served with me in France, and es pecially to those who gave their lives to the cause for which we fought. To my comrades of the allied armies I wish to say that I am not attempting to write a history of the World war or of the epic part they took in it. I write of our own army and for our own people, and 1 have not consciously magnified or mini mized the effort of any army or any people. There is credit for all of us in the final triumph of our united arms. The struggle of the allies was much longer, their sacrifices very much greater, than ours. I am grateful to President Wilson and* Secretary Baker for selecting me to command our armies and for the whole-hearted and unfailing support they accorded me in France. No com mander waa ever privileged to lead a foer force; no commander ever de rived greater inspiration from the per- fonnance of hia troopa. JOHN J. PERSHING. CHAPTER I On May 8, 1917, four weeks after the United States had declared war on Germany, I received the following telegram from my father-in-law, the late Senator F. B. Warren, In Wash ington : "Wire me today whether and how much you speak, read and write French." At this time I was stationed at Fort Sam Houston, which adjoins San An tonio, Texas, and was In command of the southern department with the rank of major general. Naturally, Senator Warren’s telegram suggested that I was to be assigned to some duty in France, but as no intimation had been given out regarding the extent of our active participation la the war, the message was somewhat puzzling. However, I telegraphed the follow ing reply: “Spent several months in France nineteen-eight studying language. Spoke quite fluently; could read and write well at that time. Can easUy reacquire satisfactory working knowl edge.” Quotes Warren*! Letter. My reply, to be sure, was rather op timistic, yet it was coinparatlvely ac- enrate and perhaps was justified by the possibilities to be Inferred from Senator Warren’s telegram. A few days later I received from him the following letter: “Dear Jack: "This Is what happened: Last nli^t, about ten o’olotdc, tbs More- taiT of war rang laa op aad wiot- ed to know If I would mil tat and am hhB thla morning, and I io> ‘ ipmdod that I womi It t oo«id reach him ui nine o’clock. This is the first time he has ever asked me to call for a consultation. “When I reached him he said in the most distant and careless way: ‘Oh, by the way, before I discuss the matter about which 1 asked you to call—do you happen to know whether Pershing speaks French? (This is the first time your name was ever mentioned be tween the secretary of war and me, direct.) “I said I was not certain about that; that I knew he was a lin guist along the lines of Spanish and, to some extent, Japanese, and all of the Phillpjdne dialects (a pardonable exaggeration by one’s father-in-law)—^that perhaps my wife might know, as she speaks French a little and reads It readily. “He said: ‘Well, It Is of no spe cial consequence, only I happened to thltik of it at this moment.’ I 'i replied :■ ‘Well, I'll ask my wife about It today and see whether she knows, and will let you know.’ He then said: ‘If you don’t mind, do so.’ ■ “And then he proceeded to dis cuss quite fully some appropria tion matters on which I intended to go to work upon Iny arrival at the Capitol. “I hope you will wire me promptly upon receipt of my tele gram so that 1 may tell the sec retary ‘what ray wife said about It (?).’ “Affectionately, “F. E. WARREN.” Message Promises Command. Shortly after the receipt of the pri vate wire and before the above letter reached me, a telegram dated May 2 came from Maj. Gen Hugh I* Scott, chief of staff, containing the opening words, “For your eye alone,” followed by a message In code: “Under plans under consideration la one which will require among other troops onr Infantry regiments and one artillery regiment from your depart ment for service in France. If plana are carried ont yon will be in eom- mand. Yon' will be in command of the entire force. Wire me at once desig nation of the regiments selected by you and their present stations.” I construed this message to mean that these troops were to form a di vision, whiph, together with such other troops as might be sent over at once, would be under my command. Within a day or so after the receipt of Scott’s telegram It was intimated to Col. M. H. Barnum, my chief of staff, that we might be called upon for a recommendation, and after con sultatlbn with him I selected the Six teenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-sixth and Twenty-eighth regiments of Infantry and the Sixth field artillery. These, together with two other artillery regi ments and the necessary auxiliary units, were later organized as our first division. Surprised by Developments. I bad scarcely given a thought to the possibility of my being selected te be in supreme command of onr forces, as afterward developed, although my old friend, Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell, had written me that be thought ny selection almost certain.
