PERSHING’S BOOK
CRITICIZES ALLIED SOLDIERS. (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) London, June 19. General Pershing's book “My Experiences in the World War” is causing considerable * controversy. It contains such references as “The Allied man-power rapidly dwindled to a dangerous degree, and its morale almost reached breaking point. Training with worn-out British and French troops had a detrimental effect on our men." The Morning Post says such passages are not merely not generous, but are demonstrably unfair. The Daily Express, without comment, reproduces a map which reveals that the British and French divisions alone held the sector where the Hindenburg line was severed in September, 1918, which virtually ended the war.
