:he president in Europe
While Americans pride them-
slves on being the freest people
earth, there is one boftd—that
precedent—which holds them
wo securely as to constitute, at
times, a very serious interfer
ence with the exercise of rights
undoubtedly be chosen for that
exalted office without opposition.
Our present, then, is in a
position which makes ^ incum
bent upon him to become, with
the least possible delay, thor
oughly familiar with the many
delicate and complicated inter
national problems/ which /must
be dealt with in the framing of
the final peace terms. This ifi-
fermatlon he is getting at first
hand by his close contact with
the people whom he meets and
the conditions wnich he views,
not only in Paris and ..London,
but throughout the devastated
regions of France and Belgium.
It may be easy enough here in
peaceful and prosperous Amer
ica—no. matter how much one
may desire to be just—to say
that the war should end without
indemnities and, without the in
diction of punishment upon
those responsible for it; but to
be really just in the matter to
all concerned, one should see
with his own eyes (at least so
far as that course is now possi
ble) just what the Germans and
their allies have really done.
And, in order to be in a position
to determine what is necessary
to prevent a repetition of this
great crime, 1 it is important to
see and to understand juat how
near Germany came to the ac
complishment of her pufpoap to
conquer and enslave the world./
These facts were undoubtedly
realized by President Wilson be
fore he announced his interitiorf
to visit Europe, and they are not
only sufficient to justify his
course, but if he had failed to
necessary for the public welfare.
slelirium throughout the country
a few weeks ago when President
Wilson.announced his purpose of
going to Europe. Every one ad
mitted the fact that he had a
perfect right to go, but thou- j
Sands of our leading citizens pro
tested vigorously against such a
eourse largely because the thing
h^d never been done by any oth
er occupant of the White House.
The president is noW in Eu
rope and has been there for over
two weeks; moreover he has
been absent from the United
States for nearly a month, and
still none of the dire calamities
predicted by those who opposed
bis trip have come to pass;
while, on the other hand/ it is
becoming more and more appar
ent to every one who keeps in
touch with the march of events
that it is very fortunate that we
have in Woodrow Wilson, at
least one citizen who declines to
let the silly American supersti
tion that a thing not yet done
should never be done, interfere
with the full exercise of the
right and duty to follow the dic
tates of one's conscience and
best judgment, rather than
senseless rules of precident.
march s6/far/that day, but to
spend the night on the fuad in
one of the deserted villages and
go on next day. The men were
very tired and this was done.
The battalion reached Somme-
•dieu the next day^ about noon
and went about five mites furth
er *©n and went into ' camp at
Carnp Massa. At Sommedieu J
saw the large railroad guns for
the fi r st time. These guns ‘fired
several shots at the German
linos while 1 was at Sommedieu,
and when the first shot was fir-
I was satisfied that the Ger
mans had blown up the other end
of the town. You cannot imagine
such a noise. We were at Massa
two nights and one day and re
lieved a battalion of the 138th
Infantry, 33th Division, on the
front line between Verdun and
Metz, just north of the Verdun-
Metz road. We had been within
Tange of the enemy artillery for
several days, but had not bee'n
troubled very much. Our artil
lery was located near us and
both had come in for some return
fire, but no damage was done.
We sent out patrols every night
to locate the enemy machine
guns and get any information
possible.
During the night of Novem
ber 8th I received orders to send
out patrols to make contact with
the enenfy; in a short time 1 had
orders cancelling that order and
directing me to give my men
breakfast at 6 a. m. without fail,
a little later instructions came
saying that the men would wear
a certain uniform and caTry cer
tain equipment. I knew then
that the expected advance had
| what part he would take. It wasi come anc ^ * n a / ew ^ ours
some job and we were hard at j we wou ^ be in the line. Latei
work when the division was or-1 an order came saying tru.t the
dered north to the sector near 81st Division would attack the
Verdun and the proposed fight j enemy that morning at 8 a. m.,
called off. We were more than ; an ^ that as soon as the troops ot

badly wrecked as I expected to
see, but the villages near it were
completely destroyed, and every
thing wiped out. Gen. Bailey,

MAJ. JAMES A. WILLIS-
Continued trom First Pagej
Long before the war closed, it
was apparent that, when the end
came, the terms of the armistice
would be based largely, if not
entirely, upon the ideas of jUs-
lic^outlined by our president in
kis messages to congress and his
Botes to the Central Powers; and
ever since the signing of the ar
mistice it has been equally clear
that the final peace terms will b€j
molded very closely along the
lines which President Wilson
considers best for the^ world’s
welfare. This is true both be
cause he represents the greatest
of all nations and one which, al
though it has been the deciding
factor in the war, .has no selfish
interests to promote at the peace
table, and also because he has
become through his public utter
ances and official acts the recog
nized and universally trusted
have come out of it. We had
been told that we might expect
heavy losses. Very encouraging
for the fellows that had to take
part. Frbm Takitrux we march
ed to St. Helene, stopping at two
villages en route. This is the
most beautiful part of France, I
think. We stayed here ten-days
or two weeks resting up and get
ting in shape for the fight that
we knew was coming soon. We
■ marched out of St. Helene at
12:30 on the morning of Novem
ber 2nd to Chatel-sur-Moselle
and boarded the train that af
ternoon and detrained the next
morning at 3 o’clock at Sam-
pigny when the following order
was handed to me: * —
“Major Willis: You will have
j to be at Sommedieu by tomor
row night. You should leave
very early tomorrow morning
even if it is a bright day. I will
meet you on the way with full
instructions. Take only your
haversacks, two days’ rations
and slickers, Put other things
in squad rolls. , You will have to
mai^ph about. 40 k. tomorrow.
Havd detail to load sqd. rolls on
ittrucks. IT. A. Pearce/'
- - Thia notfe was written by Col.
Pearce the night before we ar
rived and meant that we would
have to make 25 miles that day
in the face of an order higher up
that troops would not march on
the road in daylight unless it
was very cloudy. Sampigny was
a city about the size of Spartan
burg and had been deserted by
the inhabitants. They had gone
axva>. and left everything. We
found places for the men to get
premier of the world. And, if some sleep Befqre leaving at 8
the proposed league of nations j that, morning. long after
my left, I Would withdraw my
command and proceed to Haudi-
moat for further orders. This
we did and found the fight in full
swing with the 324th Infantry
on the firing line and our regi
ment in support, with instruc
tions to be prepared to attack at
any moment.
""Since the organization of the
new army a battalion is prac
tically as large as a regiment
was before the war. The nor
mal strength is a little more than
1,000 men and 32 officers. All
the fighting is done by battal
ions ; all movements by battalion
and it is seldom that more than
one battalion is billeted in the
same town, -Usually in a fight
a battalion is reenforced with
one-pounder guns, trench mor
tars, a machine £un company,
and often a battery of field ar
tillery. So you will readily see
that a battalion commander of
ten has a young army to handle.
