MARSHALFOCH
SINGS PRAISES
OUR TROOPS
Marshal Foch, commander-in-chief
of all the allied forces on the Euro
pean fighting fronts, has given to a
Paris magazine, France-Amerique, a
concise statement of the "final effort”
of the American forces in France. Its
value lies in its military clearness and
brevity. It summarizes better than
anything hitherto published the high
idea which the allied supreme com
mand holds regarding America’s part
in the war.
“On March 11,” says Marshal Foch,
"The American army in France num
bered only 300,000 men or six infantry
divisions. They were in training. Thir
ty thousand were arriving each month.
The German offensive began March 21
at the junction of the allied armies in
the region of St. Quentin. The enemy
soon reached the river Scarpe and ad
vanced up to the Somme which he
crossed and descended to the valley of
the Oise. The situation was suddenly
Very serious. This critical day. March
28, General Pershing and General
Bliss came and generously offered to
lead their divisions in to battle, both
saying: “We are here to be killed. Let
us go in with our troops.” Soon af
terward, April 25, at Sarcus we met
the same generals. At Abbeville May
2, in agreement with the allied gov
ernments we asked the American
government to send to France each
month 120,000 infantrymen or machine
gunners and complementary troops.
As a matter of fact America sent in
March, 09,000 men; in April, 94.000;
in May, 200,000; in June, 254,000; in
July 295,000; and in August 235,000.
Prepared for 100 Divisions
“The American effectives went from
300,000 March 11 to 954,000 in July
and 1,700,000 in October. Moreover,
June 2, the superior war council at
Versailles had asked President Wilson
to continue the same transport of
troops from two hundred thousand to
three hundred thousand a month and
prepare for the spring of 1919 a total
of 100 American divisions. Mr. Wil
son had answered that he agreed and
if more divisions were necessary they
would be provided.
"But, meanwhile, the i^iherican
troops had not been inactive. As early
as May two American infantry divi
sions were in battle with the first
French army in the region'of Montdid
ler, three in the Vosges, where they
relieved French divisions, and two in
training. In June two other divisions
were at the Marne, at Chateau-Thierry
and at Belleau woods, where they took
a big part in the resistance offered the
enemy. Five American divisions par
ticipated in the victorious counter of
fensive of the tenth and sixth French
armies July 18 and contributed large
ly to its success. At the same time—
July 24—the first American army was
formed. Its task consisted of disen
gaging the Paris-Nancy communica
tion by driving the enemy from St. Mi
hiel. Of fourteen American divisions
eight were in the first line and six in
the second line September 12. They
took the St. Mihiel salient with 200
cannon and 15,000 prisoners. . A few
days later, September 26, fourteen
AmfiHnnn Hiviainne ___
the great offensive between the Aisne
and the Meuse across the rough Ar
gonne region. On the second day Mont
faucon was passed; October 14 Grand
Pre had been taken; October 21 Chatil
lon and Bantheville; November 1 Bu- '
zancy, November 5, Beaumont, and on
November 7 the entire line of the
Meuse from Mouzon to Bazelller was
in our power.
Worked With Allied Armies
Furthermore, at the same time, <
two American divisions collaborated
with tfte fifth French army toward Ro
m&ins. Two others were with the Brit
ish armies In the region of St. Quentin.
Two more In co-operation with the
fourth French army took the formida- .
ble Orfeul position. Then two Ameri
can divisions participated in the of
fensive of the Flanders group on the
Lys and Escaut. Finally six others
were getting ready with the French
army for the attack of November 14
In Lorraine when the armistice of No- 4
vember 11 came and disarmed us.
“It is thus that the American army,
supported by a government thorough
ly resolved to pursue the struggle to
:he end, repaid Lafayette for the visit
le made to the new-born Amrica. It
s thus that it aided powerfully in se
suring victory by an armistice, which
s virtually a surrender—a complete '
lurrender."
Z. J. Loussac, the Anchorage drug
fist, was recently in Ketchikan for a
ew days, looking over the situation
rith a view to starting in business
there. He reports that he has found
a location and that he will open a now
store there as soon as he can ship his
goods there.
Ketchikan Is to have a new and im
portant industry. The Boyle Anchor
Works, with factory at Juneau, is now
to extend its activities and will have
a plant at Ketchikan, at which r:on
crete anchors will be built for all ship
ping purposes.
Many friends of Dr. Ernest Vincent
Shayler, for many yearsp astor of St.
Marks church of Seattle, are greatly
pleased because of his election by the
Protestant Episcopal church at Bishop
of Alaska. Bishop Shayler is a very
able man, a model citizen and a splen
did type of Christian gentleman. The
only regret about the matter is that '
he will have to leave the Pacific coast.
