Pershing's ac count of his stewarcbbip as corn mander of the American expedi tionary forces is iven to the public by Secretary Baker. It is ia ihe form of a preliminary re port to the secretary, : covering operations op to November .20, altctf the."; German collapse.

Their deeds are immor tal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our country." The report -begins with Gen. Pershing's departure for France. Its striking feature is the section devoted to "combat operations, ' where it tells the story of fight "fr by the man who directed it. Tiae first crisis jof the German drive had been reached in Pic- ardy on March 21. ,On March 2S I placed at the disposal of Varshal Foch all of our forces to be used as he might decide. At his request the 1st division was transterred from tho Trul sector to a position in re srve at Chaumont ooVcsin.. As German, superiority iu numbers required prompt action, an agree ment was' reached by which .Brit- transport Amcrrcan aivisio army area, where they were to be trained and equipped, and addi tional British shipping was to be provided for as many divisions as possible for use elsewhere. On April t'6 the 1st division hid gone into the line in the Montd idier salient aidy battle front. on the Pic Tactics had I. j e this brilliant action had an elec-' tr.cal effect, as it demonstrated our fighting qualities under ex. ' trvtne battle conditions. and also - tliat tnc enemy s troops were not altogether mvtnci ri . There followed i 11- ; mmediately the German thrust toward Fari3 . Pershinc aavs. across the Aisne The allies." Gen. 'faced a crisis i - i equally as grave as that of the ; cr P-ardy offensive m March. A-v i placed at Marshal Foch's dis posal, and the 3rd division, which had just eome from its prelimi nary training in the trenches, was hurried to the Marne. Its motorized machine gun battalion preceded the other units and suc cessfully held the bridge head at ! s?rv near Montd idler, was sent oy motor trucKs ana otner avail able transport td check the prog ress of the enemy toward Paris. The division attacked and retook the town and railroad station at Bouresches and sturdily held its ground against the enemy's best guard divisions. In the battle of Bllcau wood, which followed, our men proved their superiority anJ gained a strong tactical posi tion, with far greater loss to the envmv . than to oursftlrp. O.

Our.men, firing in three directions, met the German at tacks with counter attacks at critical ' points and -succeeded in throwing two German divisions into complete confusion, captur ing 600 prisoners." . . Thus was the stage set for the counter-offensive which, begin- ning with " the;, smashing of the enemy's M arne salient brougnt overwhelming -victory ao 'the al lies and the United States inthe eventful months ...that have fol lowed. The intimation is strong that Gen. Pershing's advice Ijelp ed Marshal Foch to reach hisile cision to strike". Gen. Pershing continues.: - r- - "The great force of the Qer man Chateau . .Thierry offensive, established the deep Marne; Sal ient, but the army was-takinf this pocket to attack might ,1ae turned to his disadvantage. Self ing this opportunity to support my conviction every division with any sort .oi training- was made available for use in a coun ter-offensive. The place of hon or 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 man, laid down i.s rolling barrage at dawn, while the infantry began its charge.

Pershing writes, he could turn to the organization of the 1st Amer ican army and the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient long plan ned as the initial purely Ameri-can"enterprise.- A troop concen tration, aided by generous ; con tributions of artillery and air units by the French, began in volving the movement, mostly at night, of 600,000- men. A sector - reaching from 'Panti-sur-Seilic, T east of the Moselle, westward through St. frihiel toVerdlin and later enlarged to, 'carry it to the edge of the forest of Argonne, was taken, over, - the 2d-colonial French holding xthe tip of the Salient , opposite St, 1 Mihiel. and the French 17th : corps, ontbe heights abveer' - fron-fnrr Vtn a. v Pershing's command The wm- bined French, -British and; Amer-- ican air forces mobilized for thecour5e -ls unj uemgnsuratea oy battle, the report says,ahhe larita vtatibtUfssein en agesi 3 ajne west e jni roii t up rtctmein iileoger0rl; "1 Ofiihe Bucnt heStAft- hief saheht Gen.vPershmg says: ; w'rlour preparation the ,: seven Arnerican tvioii?intheSfron ynced at .5 a m. on : September 12, sstst ed .by va jl imited number tylSnflJpartiy :-byA"nier; icaij:ndpartbyBthe KffnK4li irresistible waves; on ;scneaaie UmlsWekingown rail idefense enemy aemorauzea , oy in e npuri'suddeti ;apprbacfrout of theitog. ; Uur 1 $ t corps" ad vane eq iqr,hiacourt while, our 4th corps curved ?, back to i the south west thfluff h Nonsard: The 2d coibn ia rFrench corps made.

The Am erican army moved at once tow ard its crowning achievement, the battle of the Veuse In all. 40 enemy divisions had been used against us in the Meuse-Argonue battle. Between September 26 and November 6, we took 26,059 prisoners and 468 gfuns on this front.
