GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES
36
GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING
With the din of battle barely hushed, it is yet too early to gauge accurately how lofty a niche General Pershing will occupy in the Hall of Fame. Yet what he wrought, the myriad difficulties he encountered, the almost insurmountable obstacles he overcame, and the success he won as commander-in-chief, in the great- est war of all times, of the largest army ever gathered under the American flag- of these things there can be no doubt.
"Boys, let's get where we are going" was his favorite expression as a student at West Point. That spirit has typified his whole military career. Whether pursuing Indians across the scorching plains and arid mountains of the West; quelling rebellious, insurgent Moros in the Philippines; leading the bandit Villa in a long and heart-breaking chase across the parched wastes of Mexico; or breaking the back of the German army in the Argonne Forest-in all these strenuous campaigns he cut through the mass of detail and tangle of red tape and drove straight to the heart of the task he had been set to do.
Chosen to lead the American forces abroad, he quickly picked a corps of the best trained officers in our army and set out to France in May, 1917. He cut short the social and diplomatic side of the trip and plunged immediately into the serious business of laying the foundation for the huge army which was to follow. With the aid of his staff, he rebuilt, first of all, the whole organization of our army, planned it on a scale of millions instead of thousands, and adapted its course of training to the new methods of warfare. With his engineers he then set about the construction of miles of docks at the French ports, the dredging of harbors, and the erection of great warehouses to receive the avalanche of clothing, food, ammunition, aeroplanes, trucks, and other supplies that were soon to be on their way over.
At the same time problems of a far different nature were pressing upon him. The latter part of 1917 and the spring months of 1918 were dark days for the Allies. They were ready to quit, to make a compromise peace. The gloom of defeat hung over them and their armies. Wearied with this spirit, General Pershing one day burst out in a statement characteristically brief: "Germany can be beaten, Germany must and will be beaten. Let every soldier paste that in his cap lest he forget why he is in France."
He was right. Seasoned by a few weeks of training in quiet sectors, he gathered six divisions early in July, 1918, to stem the Hun attack on Paris. They met the brunt of it, drove the flower of the Prussian guards back across the Marne, and compelled them to evacuate the whole Marne salient. The fighting stamina of the French stiffened, the ebbing morale of the British returned, the Allies saw the truth of Pershing's statement. A few weeks later he gave the world a revelation of American fighting qualities when he wiped out in 72 hours with the First American Army the St. Mihiel salient, which had been a thorn in the side of the French for more than four years. Twelve days later, with lightning-like rapidity, he struck again at the hardest and most vital part of the German line, the Argonne Forest, which the French had said was unconquerable. Through its tangles and mazes, over almost insuperable barriers, Pershing drove division after division until he had pierced in little more than six weeks the heart of the German lines of communication through Sedan, Stenay and Mont- medy. Then the Huns quit.
True to his West Point expression, he had gotten where he was going-to victory over the greatest military machine that had ever been built. His purpose had been realized, for the American army had become a great, compact, self- reliant unit, capable of independent, offensive action, more than 2,000,000 in strength, tempered and seasoned by weeks of the most bitter fighting.
Withal, he was very human. His passion was the welfare of the men in the ranks, "the ninety-five per cent," as he called them. His admiration for their fortitude under all circunstances was unceasing, his care and watchfulness over their health, their comfort, and their pleasures are recorded in dozens of orders issued from his headquarters. This was his tribute to them in the final sentence of his report upon the army's operations: "When I think of their heroism, their patience under hardships, their unflinching spirit of offensive action, I am filled with emotion which I am unable to express."
37
ADMIRAL WILLIAM S. SIMS
On May 4, 1917, just twenty-eight days after the United States declared war for- mally on Germany, Admiral Sims, commanding a fleet of American destroyers in first- class fighting trim, stepped on land at Queenstown, England. From that day until the early months of 1919, when he returned home, laden with the honors of foreign gov- ernments, to be assigned to other duty, he was in supreme command of the American fleet in European waters. In the eighteen months the fleet was in the war, more than two million soldiers were convoyed in safety across the Atlantic, billions of dollars' worth of food and other supplies for these troops and the inhabitants of Europe were transported oversea with minor loss, while not a few of the Hun undersea pirates were sunk by our navy. The flag of our fleet was in evidence from the Mediterranean to the White Sea, at Gibraltar, in the Bay of Biscay, along the English and Irish coasts, in the North Sea, and at Archangel and Murmansk. When the war ended, our navy in European waters comprised 338 vessels, manned by 75,000 men and officers. This was a force larger than the entire American fleet before the war began. Credit for the efficiency of this tremendous array of naval craft and the remarkable results that it accomplished has been attributed largely to Admiral Sims. In addition to being responsible personally for its operations, he also had the highly delicate task of co- ordinating its work with that of the British High Fleet. This required not only tech- nical ability of the highest order, but a very keen knowledge of European and British diplomacy. Admiral Sims has held nearly every high post in American naval circles. He has been naval attache at Paris, head of the naval department of gunnery, where he improved wonderfully the marksmanship of all our fighting vessels ; commander of the American fleet; while his latest assignment is as head of the Naval College at Newport, from which the plans and preparations for the improvement and enlargement of our sea forces will be worked out.

CLINEDINST
GENERAL PEYTON C. MARCH
The lot of General March as chief of staff of the War Department was a most difficult role, and yet one without the glamor or glory which field officers of lesser rank received for service in the fighting line. His task was to mobilize, equip and train the divisions before they went to France, as well as to supply them from the United States after they arrived oversea. Before he was called to Washington, Gen- eral March had made a wide reputation as a field artilleryman. He had shown execu- tive ability of a high order in all the posts to which he had been assigned. He was a graduate of West Point and thoroughly abreast of all the developments of three years of fighting in Europe. As a student at the army staff and war colleges, he made a fine record. War came, opportunity knocked, and he was advanced three grades to the rank of full general. General Pershing and General Bliss were the only other American officers who attained this rank during the war. Many of the same obstacles and difficulties that worried General Pershing in France also were stumbling blocks and problems for General March. The expansion of our army from less than 200,000 to 3,500,000 ; the clothing, food, guns, rifles, and other necessaries to equip these men ; the most feasible manner of raising these millions with least disturbance to the in- dustries of the country ; the immense number of records and the huge amount of data that the maintenance of a large army requires; the immediate fulfillment of all the needs and requirements of the army abroad : the tactful handling of domestic military problems and the distribution of war news-these were among some of the large questions and problems that came to General March for solution. They required a cool, quick brain and the grasp of a man of great affairs. General March fulfilled the requirements of the hour.
