WHO WON THE WAR?
PERSHING’S IMPLICATION DWINDLED ALLIED MAN-POWER PERTINENT LONDON RETORT (United Press Association —By Electric Telegrapn Copyright.) Received 11.30' a.m. to-day. LONDON, June 19. General Pershing’s book, “My Experiences in the YVorld War,” is causing considerable controversy. lit contains such refeitenoes. as “the Allied man-power had rapidly dwindled to a dangerous degree and its morale had almost reached breaking point. The training with worn out British and French troops had a detrimental effect on our men.”
The “Morning Post” says that such passages are not merely not generous, but. demonstrably unfair. The “Daily Ekpress,’’ without comment , reproduces a map which reveals that British and French divisions alone held the sector where the Hindenburg line was severed! in September, 1918, which virtually ended the war.
