COMPLETE HISTORY ASSURED

U. S. to Have Hour-to-Hour Narrative of Its Part in World War. Washington, November 25. —The history of the operations of the American army in France will be written with a detail never possible in any prevlpus war. Provision for obtaining the most intimate information of the action of each unit of the army was made by the wa'r department in ordering “war diaries” to be kept by designated officers of each unit. The information thus obtained, Gen. March, chief of staff, said Saturday would provide a day-to-day and hour-fo-hour history of the war so far as the American expeditionary forces are concerned. “The historical public narrative,’’ General March said, "will be so complete that it will be impossible for anybody to add to it. It will be a day-by-day and hour-by-hour record of all actions until demobilization.”
