AMERICA IN THE WAR
GENERAL PERSHING’S BOOK VETERANS’ WORK BELITTLED. MAP SUPPLIES THE ANSWER. 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 had rapidly dwindled to a dangerous degree, and its morale had almost reached breaking point. 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 are demonstrably unfair. The Daily Express, without comment, reproduces a map which reveals that the British and French divisions alone held the sector where Hindenburg’s line was severed in .September, 1918. which virutually ended tho war.
