V'iltcw t'ottcuts, the object being to concentrate several of our divisions cut the west of the Macro salient, primarily as a precaution sprains' an enter >u-nnan,; rnensive tncre, but ultimately for possible use on the offensive. The Second. Thirty. Twcn i ty-sixth tth.H Braffi-?ww.d votv in j that area and wit'KKjJie. FbsSjrtfc and I Twenty-eighth there.. was a force tquieaknl to twelve- French divisions. An encouraging circuutstance at the .moment was the success of the French in holding Von Huiier's atiacf: ot; the Monldidiev-Koyon fionv. This fourth phase of the German offensive was an effort not only to widen the vulnerable Marne pocket but to secure the railway between ! Cpr.peigne and Soissons and open : the wav to Paris. CHAPTER XLVI ViThe demands for American divisions wore pressing. The- First. Second and Thi'd had already become actively engaged, the First being dated- to I go to thc reserve near the Chateau Thierry salient when relieved from; . Cantigay. The Second -< as sti!! in line a! Belieau Wood, end thc Ttiiru i ?vf_;Tm? !jMnrrif- : SaHl<: Bo ' neral Foch asked for five ' f the divi.sinr.ir recently arrived that were training with the British. Of these ,-'ie Fourth and Twenty-eighth while en route to the quiet Yosge-s sector to relieve French divisions; had been divetted to the reserve near' the western face of the Marer. r.adent. The Twenty-fifth had moved to the vicinity of Epinal and the Seventy-seventh was about tc enter the trencher in the Baecaret sector to | replace the Forty-second, which was to reinforce Gouaud's army east of Rheitiw. The Eighty-second had started for the 3.!ouh sector to relieve the Twenty-sixth, which in turn was soon to relieve the Second. Thus there were three American divisions in quiet sectors and seven : either in the battle line or he'd in readiness to meet any eventuality j which might result from further ac-i ; tivity of the Germans in the great j wedge they had driven toward Paris. British Displeased The British were displeased at the \ transfer of our divisions from their area, claiming priority to retain them joy reason, of having brought them j over. When General Foch inquired of ! the conditions under ,which these i troops were serving the British, my reply made it clear that be had en THE WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EY] Itirc- authority to direct where they should go in the emergency, as witfcj out it the theory of a supreme jjom snand would fall. i The rapid succession of German joffensives hod seriously crippled the allies, and not only materially re-1 duced their powers of resistance out had depressed then morale and caused the darkest misgivings anion? them. They grew more and more fearful lest the enemy might still hacoj untold reserves ready to swell his forces. That the morale of the allies was low was show n by the con-1 I elusions c t many of their soldiers re: vurn;::- from the-.front to tfe rem j areas. j feM from the British front i nv or v.- no oe?tev.
