I 1
It was the ambition of the First
nrmy, and mine, that our troops
should capture Sedan, which the
French had lost in n decisive battle in
1870. I suggested to General Malstre
that the prescribed boundary line between
our First and the French Fourth
army might be Ignored in ^nse we
should outrun the French, to which he
offered no objection, but on the contrary
warmly approved.
To reaeh the objective the left
boundary of the first army would have
to be ignored, as Sedan lay to the
northwest bevond that limit. The
afternoon of November 5, the First
corps was directed to bend its energies
to capture Sedan "assisted on its
right by the Fifth corps."
A misconception In the Fifth corps
of the exact Intent of my orders resulted
in the First division erroneously
going beyond the left boundary of
the Fifth corps and marching directly
across the sector of the First corps
during the late afternoon of the 6th
and throughout the night- The troops
of the First division carried out this
unnecessary forced march in fine
spirit- despite their tired qondltlpn, J
Considerable -confusion resulted In
the Forty-second and Seventy-seventh
divisions, and their advance was delayed
as roads became blocked by tlx
columns of the First division. Tlx
Forty-second and the First then begn*
a race for the honor of capturing So
dan. Part uf these divisions had entered
the zone of the French Fourth
army and were waging a fight with the
enemy for the possession of the
heights south and west of Sedan.
The morning of November 7 found
men of the Forty-second and the First
divisions on the height* overlooking
the city. Under normal conditions the
action of the officer or officers responsible
for this movement of the First
division directly across the stcio/s of
%
two other divisions would not have
been overlooked, but the splendid
| record of that unit and the approach
of the e:.d of hostilities suggested
J leniency.
The enemy's main line of communications
was now within range of the
machine guns of the First army, which
had driven him 24 miles since November
1. His position on the western
front" was no longer tenable anrf he
urged Immediate consideration of an
- afmtstlce.
me on November 0 Marshal Fooh,
(lieu in conference with German rfpresentatlves
regarding the terms of the
armistice, sent telegraphic InstrucHons
to oil Allied commanders In
chief from which It might ho Inferred
that he was uncertain regarding the
outcome of negotiations and wished to
let ttie euctpy know that there wmild
he no further delay. The following
was the message revolved:
"The enemy, disorganized hy our
repeated attacks, retreats along
t he entire front.
"It Is Important to co-ordtnuto
and expedite our /movements.
"1 appeal to the energy and the
Initiative, of the commanders In
chief of their armies to make decisive
the results obtained."
No Respite for Enemy.
Orders in response to this appeal
were Immediately Issued and their
execution hy the First army was under.
way November 10 and 11. Yet
here again no sort of urging was necessary.
Our troops were determined
not to give the ei . jny any respite. Already
the crossing of the Mouse hn\J
been planned for the whole army, and
i he Fifth corpse got over during the
night of the lOth-Uth. -Part of the
Eighty-ninth division crossed on rnfts
lust west of Poullly, and others In the
rear of tjie Ninetieth division (Allen).
The Second division was unable to
force a crossing at Mouzon, as
planned, hut about n mile south of
Vlllemontry the engineers of the division,
with exceptional rapidity and
skill, threw two bridges across, over
which one regiment passed. The
Soveuty-seventh division, now on the
left of the Fifth corps, only sent over
patrols on the IQth and 11th, the low
ground north of the river opposite Its
front being flooded by heavy rains and
damming operations by the Germans.
The First corps from November 6
to 10 was withdrawing Its divisions to
points on the Mouse between Dun-sur- '
Meuse and Verdun, preparatory to n
general attack which would have as Its
object the turning of the enemy's
strong position In front of the Fifthcorps.
Fast of the .Meuse the First army
advanced In conjunction with the Second
army, which had been earnestly
preparing for. this moment ever slhce
its organization.
Under the Instructions Issued by me
November 5 for t^te .advance of the
First and Second armies, which received
approval <?f Marshal Foch In a
personal note of November 8, the Second
army made advances along Its entire
front in the direction of the Briey
iron basin during the last three days
of hostilities.
Attacking on the 10th, the Thlrtytjdrd
division reaehed?the Bols d'Har-"
vllle and captured Matchevllle, but
was /forced to retire. ( The Twentyeighth
division occupied a part of the
Bois des Haudronvllles Bas, as well as
Marimbols farm. The Seventh division
took and held against counterattack
Hill 823. The Ninety-second
division captured the Bols Frehaut.
On the front of the First army, the
Ninetieth division, on the left of the
Third corps (Ilines)? had crossed the
Meusd on the 0th and attacked on the
10th, meeting decided opposition
throughout the day." Elements Of the
division entered,Stcnny hut were unable
to clean tip the town, while others,
after hard fighting In the nearby wood,
reached but could not take Baalon.
? The Fifth division (Ely) captured
.Tametz and cleared the Foret de
Woevre. The Thirty-second, division
(Haan) re-entered the line on the Oth.
ns the right division of tlie Third
corps, and made substantial progress.
On the 10th the division moved forward
until stopped by heavy fire from
east of the Thinte river.
,f On Other Fronts.
Meanwhile other of our divisions
were engaged on distant fronts. In
Flanders our Thlrtj seventh and Ninety-first
divisions, which had been sent
to the French Sixth army at Marshal
Foch's request, entered the battle October
31. The Cruyshautem ridge was
taken by thA Thirty-seventh division
(Farnsworth) on the first day, while
the Ninety-first (Johnston), advancing
against Intense fire, seized the strongly
defended wooded area In Its front.
Both divisions moved forward rapidly
to the Escaut river on the following
day In pursuit of the enemy. Despite
resistance, crossings of the river were
effected by the Thirty-seventh, November
2 and 3. the division being relieved
the following day. Audenarde
was occupied by the Ninety-first division
on 'the 2nd. and the division
was relieved on the 3rd by the French.
Both divisions re-entered the line for
the general attack <>f the French Slxlh
army November l<k The Thirty-seventh
division was directed to relieve
two French divisions east of the Escaut
the morning of the 10th, but these
divisions had been unable to cross, and
were relieved on the west bnnk. Despite
severe losses the Thirty-seventh
succeeded in again crossing the river
and moved forward the following day.
advancing two and a half miles east
ward. The Ninety-first division met
?llght opposition on the 10th and none
, n the morning of the 11th, reaching
a line east of Boucte-Snlnt-Blalse.
In the First army the Fifth corps
advanced rapidly the morning of the
11th. Elements of the Eighty-ninth di
vision occupied Stenay and established
a line on the hi" to the north, roullly-sur-Meuse
was mopped up early In
the morning and Autrevllle occupied.
The Second division advanced to the
ridge west of Monlins. while the Seventy-seventh
dlvisloft-'field It*.. Hue of
the 10th. '
Tn the Third corps, the morning, or
the 11th, the Nineteenth division entered
Baalon, and the Fifth and Thirty-socond
divisions were preparing to
attack. The Seventy-ninth division of
'he French Second .Colonial corpa attte*.
, - mm -
m_ ?, . -L ^ ^.. ,
tucked against the Cole de Montague
ami advanced u short distance, the
Twenty-sixth division made slight
gallic, unci tho Flghty-first division
again took Grinmucourt.
On the front of the Second uruty the
attack of the Thirty,-'third division on
tile 11th was held up. Tho Twentyeighth
div ision can-led Its line forward
north of Mtirliuholfc farm, the Seventh
i division made oft attack, and the Ninety-socond
division attacked but did not
hold all Its gains.
Tho line of tho First army, November
11, extended from Fresnes-enXVoovre
to I'mii-Mnugts, The Second
army line ran from I'ort-sur-Selllo to
Fresnes-tMt-WcK'vre, Thus both American
armies were now In position to
carry out tho otteURlvo as directed by
my orders November 5. which was
what r had planned and advocated
when Marshal Foch Insisted that there
should bo a coverglng movement of all
the armies west of tho Mouse, with
Mozlore.s-Sodan as the objective of tho
American First army,
CHAPTER LXV
As the conference between Marshal
Foch and the German delegates
proceeded, and In anticipation of advices
regarding the armistice, telephone
lines were kept constantly open
between my headquarters and those
of the First and ..Second armies.
When word came to me^nt 0 a. m?
November 11, that hostilities would
cease at 11 a. ?m., directions to that
effect were sent to our armies Immediately.
Our troops had been advancing
rapidly during the preceding two days,
and although every effort was made
to reach them promptly a few could
not be overtaken before the.prescribed
. hour.
A brief account of the conference
with the German delegutes wus given
to me a few days later by General
Weygand. He said the Germans came
across the line by automobile the afternoon
of Noytunber 7 and boarded a ;
special railway-, coach sent by the
French tmtAk them. During the
night thlp car and the marshal'^ were
placed' side by side In the forest between
Complogne nnd Solssons.
(The emissaries were ushered luto
the marshal's presence, and nfter producing
their credentials were asked
the object of their visit. They replied
that they had come to discuss the
terms an armistice. The marshal
then made It clear that he htuuu'lf
was not requesting nn armistice and
did noT care to have one.
When asked If they wished nn armistice
J hey replied that they did. The
marshal said that if that was the
case, here were the terms, a, copy of
which he handed them. The (Severity
of the demands seemed to surprise
them and they appeared very much
depressed. They had no power to sign
an armistice they said, without the.
consent of the chnncellor, and nfter
some little discussion they started an
officer to the German capital with the
terms.
They did not seem to object to turn!
tng over 5,000 cannon, but deplored
the condition which required them to
l surrender 30,000 machine guns. They
finally succeeded In having this re
duced to 25,000 mnchine guns on the
grourfd that they might have some
left for riot duty. In speaking of the
danger of riots, the delegates were
asked why th< v did not send somfe
of their reserve divisions to maintain
order in the Interior,
Their reply was tbat they had no
divisions In reserve, as every, division
that they had was actually in line.
Then they complained about the short
time allowed for evacuation, stating
that the German nrniy was In no condition
to move, either forward or backward.
. *
What America Had Dona.
Between September 20 and November
11, twenty-two American and six
French divisions, with an approximate
fighting strength of 500,000 men, on a
front extending from southeast of Verdun
to the Argonne forest, had engaged
and . decisively beaten fortythree
different German divisions, with
an estimated fighting strength of 470,000.
Of the twenty-two American divisions,
four had at different times during
this period been In action on fronts
other than our own.
The enemy suffered an estimated
loss of over 100,000 casualties In this
' battle, and pur First army lost about
117,000. The total strength of the
First army, including 135,000 French
troops, reached 1,031.000 men. It captured
20.000 piTsoners, 874 cannon.
3,000 machine guns and large quantities
of material.
The transportation and supply of
! divisions to nnd from our front during
this battle was a gigantic task. There *
were 20 American and seven French
divisions, besides hundreds of thou
sands of corps- and army troops,
moved in and out of the American
zone. A total of 173.000 men were
evacuated R> the rear and more than
100,000 replacements were received.
It need hardly he restnted that our
entry Into the war gave the allies
the preponderance of force vitally necessary
to out N eigh the tremendous
increase in the strength of the Germans
on the western 'front, due to the
collapse of Russia nnd the consequent
release of German divisions employed
against her. From the military point
of view we began to aid the allies
early in' 1018. when our divisions, with
Insufficient training to |nke active p irt
In battle, were sent to the Inactive
front to relieve French divisions, that
thej? might he used In the fighting
line.
The assistance we gave the allies
In combat began In May. with the successful
attack of one of our divisions
at Cnntlgny. This was followed early
in June hy the entrance Into battle

Ordinary cough syrups do not reach
these conditions, but Thoxine, a prescription

and the cough stopa within
16 minutes. ArnF Thoxine goes further
too. It,eliminates the internal
