CHAPTER ll—Continued The secretary of war, much to the disappointment of Colonel Roosevelt, wisely made an adverse decision In ' his case, which was confirmed by the President. It was evident that both Mr. Wilson and Secretary Baker were looking for trained leaders and were determined to avoid the embarrassment President Lincoln exj>erienced In the Civil war, when he was more or less driven to fill many high positions with p<d:ti>-;>l appointees who, in the end. had To be replaced by men trained In the military profession. Roosevelt’s Plea for Sons. The following letter from Colonel Roosevelt, dated May 17. 1917, will ■ show his own fine attitude:"My Dear General Pershing: - "I very heartily nmgrat Ulate you. and especially .the people of the United States* upon your ae* lection to lead the expeditionary force to the front. When 1 w«9 endeavoring to persuade the secretary of war to permit me to raise a division or two of volunteers. I stated that if you. or some men like* vou. were to command the expeditionary force I could raise the divisions without trouble. "1 write you now to request that my two sons.

our country, and a slight modification of the chamber only was necessary to make it fit our ammunition. The total production of this rifle exceeded 2,OOO.OtW during Hie war. As to machine guns, it was reported to the conference that we had a few less than 1.500. and these were of four types. Congress in 1916 had appro I priated $12,000,000 for machine guns, but the War department had not deI cided definitely to adopt any particu- ! lar one for our army, although an order had been placed late in 1916 for a quantity of the heavy VickersMaxiius. Short on Ammunition. Os artillery ammunition, except for the three-inch, we did not have enough to provide more than nine hours’ supply, even for the limited number of guns on hand, firing at the rate ordinarily used in laying down barrage fur an Infantry attack. The situation at that time as to aviation was such that every American ought to feel deeply chagrined to hear It mentioned. Os 65 officers and about 1,000 men in the air service section of

the signal corps there were 35 officers who could fly. With the exception of five or six officers, none of them could have met the requirements of modern battle conditions and none had any technical experience with aircraft guns, bombs, or bombing devices. We" had some fifty-five training planes in various conditions of usefulness. all entirely without war equipment. Os these planes it is amusing Ji ;? Col. Theodore Roosevelt. now to recall that the-national advis ory committee for aeronautics, which had been conducting an allege) scientific study of the problem of flight, advised that fifty-one were obsolete ami four others obsolescent. We could not have put a single squadr. n in the field, although It was estimated that we should eventually med at least ;Um> 'squadrons, each to be cninj>osed on the average of s*»n»e 24 officers, 180 men arid 18 planes, besides a large reserve of planes for replacements c Among other subjects considered with die seen tary was the assembly -for training of the National Guard and the men to cihne in under the draft. In lieu of any previous plans, -the secretary contemplated the construction of cantonments in different parts of the country, and May 7 the commanding generals of the several departuients were directed to select aites. The actual construction of cantonments was not begun until nearly three months after we were tn the war, and so great was the task of erecting buildings and putting in wat**r works and sewers .That some ninety ‘lays more elapsed by the time these centers of instrm tion were ready to receive- troops. Thus It was, with some exceptions, practically six nwinfhs before the training of our army was unj der way. Even then several of these, j camps were not favorably located, and training was seriously .handicapped during the fall and winter months. Rivalry for Our Troops. About this time the allies brought up the question of utilizing our men to build up their armies. As we shall see. the subject arose from time to time In one form or another, and we had to fight against it until the emi of the war. - Roth the French and British missions, under M. Rene Vivian! and Arthur G. Balfour, respectively, then in our country, were very keen to have us consent to fill'up the ranks of their armies with Americans. I was decidedly ; against our becoming a recruiting agency for eithef the

French or British, and at that time this was the attitude of the War department also. While fully realizing the difficulties. It was definitely understood heiween the secretary of wgf and me that we should proceed to organize our own units from top to bottom and build a distinctive army of our own as rapidly as possible. The evident rivalry between the British and French for Control and use of our forces, even before we had an army In the field, confirmed my impression that those two governments were not working entirely in harmony. As to their armies, it had been ap;mrent for some time that there was a lack of co-oj>eration between them. Their efforts were often separate and distinct—that is, first one and then the other would attack. iFriends Sought to Go Along. Although it was not generally known that I was to go abroad, there was a flood of applications to accompany me. One of them was a personal appeal for service in any capacity by my old friend, Robert Bacon, who had been ambassador to France. He bad aL

A few days before my departure, while at lunch at the Metropolitan club with Charles E. Magoon, ei-gov-ernor of Cuba, Charles G. Dawes joined us. The three of us had been friends in rite days when we were together at Lincoln, Neb. Magoon and Dawes as young lawyers, the latter with a decided talent for business, and I as military instructor at the state university. Dawes was an applicant for a commission in one of the engineer regiments then being organized under the direction of Samuel Felton, from volunteers with experience in railroud- . ,ing, and wanted me to help him get the appointment, I asked him whether he knew anything about engineering, and he said that when a youth he had carried a chain a month or so for a surveyor in Ohio. In was not much Impressed with his pretentions as an engineer or as a prospective military possibility, but 1 did have knowledge of his business ability and Experience, and knew that he would be valuable in some position requiring his qualifications. spoke to the secretary of war in his behalf. Requests from National Guard officers and from governors for the early acceptance of their state units literally poured into the War department. The clamor became so general and so insistent that the secretary of war happily conceived the idea of forming . a composite division to include troops from every state in the Union. 1 thought the suggestion a good one and gave it my hearty imiorsement. This was the origin of the Forty second (•Rainbow) division, which was later to distinguish itself in several engagements. CHAPTER IV. My. first and my only meeting with President Wilson .until after the armistice occurred May 24. 1917, when I called on him with Secretary of War Raker. After some conversation with Mr. Baker on shipping, Mr. Wilson turned to me. “General, we nre giving yon some difficult tasks these days.” said the President. “Perhaps so," ?I replied, "but that i« w hat vve are trained to expect, Mr. President.” The President then mentioned my experience in Mexico and inquired about my acquaintance with France. I had expected him to say something about the part our army should play in the war. hut he said nothing. Promised Full Support. Upon leaving. 1 said: "Mr. President. I appreciate the honor you have conferred upon me by the assignment you have given rue, and 1 realize the responsibilities it entails, but you can count upon the best that is in me.” To this the President replied: “General, you were chosen entirely upon your record, and I have every confidence that you will succeed; you shall have my full support.” , The President then asked me to convey to the king of Great Britain and to the Presiilent of France his greetings and best wishes. His manner was cordial with his poise and his air of determination. His assurance of confidence in me was gratifying, but in the difficult situ ations that arose later regarding the manner of aiding the allies, he. was inclined to yiehl to the persistent importunities of the allied representatives in Washington. o - In the actual conduct of operations 1 was given entire freedom, and in this respect was to enjoy an experience unique in the history of American wars. , Letter Making Him Chief. May 27. 14)17, the day before 1 was to sail from New York. Secretary Baker sent me a letter of instructions concerning my command, authorities and duties in Europe, which is quoted in full: “The President directs me to communicate to you the following: "I. The President designates you to wniniand all the 'innd forces of the United States operating in continental Europe and In the United Kingdom of Great • Britain and Ireland.

United States Close to War With Spain in 1873

The “Virginius affair’’ In 1873 almost caused war between the United States and Spain. The Virginius. ship of American registry as the property of an American citizen, was capture ! by a Spanish war vessel on the high seas and taken to Santiago. Cuba was then engaged in the ten years’ war against Spain and the Spanish officials contended that the Virginius was about to land arms and men for the rebels. Spain was at that time a republic under President Castelar. and while the President was having an investigation made, pending his reply to the demand of this country that the Virginius be released. Spanish authorities in Cuba took matters into their own hands. On November 7, 1873. CapL Joseph Fry of the Virginius and 36 members of his crew were shot, and the following day 12 of the passengers were similarly executed. Numerous Indignation meetings -were held in the United States, with loud demands for war If

BAKER.” Party Sails in Secrecy. On the date of my sailing. May 28, 1917. my party assembled at Governors island. New York. All had been instructed to proceed with the utmost secrecy, even wearing civilian clothes until they ere aboard the steamship Baltic. , ' Although we ourselves stole silently out through the fog and down' the bay. the large number, of quartermasters and other officers stationed near New York dashing around in uniform rather ostentatiously that day really amounted to an' announcement something < fut of ,!1V ordinary was happening. But it must be sal 1 to 'he credit of ,the - pr,ess representative* that they were most discreet, as the papers generally published nothing about us until we were in Europe.

Spain did not make amends. It developed. however, that the Virginius i really had no’right to fly the American flag at the time of her capture. The vessel was turned over to the” United States navy on December 16, and the surviving passengers and crew released. Spain was not required to salute the American flag and the incident was closed. Famous Gothenburg Gothenburg, second largest city In Sweden, owes its eminent position to Its illustrious founder, Gustavus Adolphus, who was one of history's most famous generals. In addition he wrote excellent prose and his “Speeches” hold an Important place in the literature of the Seventeenth century. To visit Gothenburg without seeing its gardens is unthinkable. Students of medieval history, folklore and geology revel in Gothenburg as a storehouse of legend and history.

Irony in Story of the Famous “Fireside Song” The erection of a boulder memorial to Eben G. Rexford, author of “Sil- I ver Threads*Amdng the Gold?’ in a | churchjard at Shiocton. Wis., is a re- ' minder of the ironic story connected j With i the writing of the song. Rexford, who wrote the words while a student at Lawrence college, spent most of his life qb a quiet Wisconsin homestead in away befitting the author of the nation's fireside song, but Hart P. Danks, composer of the music, knew an altogether different life. Fortunately Danks and his bride in 1874. secure in youth, could sing their pledge that would make no difference without forseeing the separation w hich tlie future held for them. Danks died friendless and alone long before the tranquil evening of. their dreams, and she who inspired tlie song was equally as lonely years afterward. After the composer’s death a son and daughter lived bitter lives, spent wrangling about royalties. At one* time the j quarrel reached such a pitch that the j sister sought her brother’s arrest for I failure to turn over w hat site felt was her share. Even such a story as that cannot tarnish the song, whose acceptance by the Atfterican people was not on account of tlie greatness of either its words or niusic, but because it furnished a means for thousands :o express one of their deepest feelings.—St..
