Washington, April 11. Premier
Lloyd George's remarkably frank .
exposition of the status of the al
lied armies and the necessity for
the oonsoription of Irish, as well as
' Britons hitherto exempt front mill
: tary eervice, is the most Compre
hensive statement that has yet
come to Washington en the effects
of the German drive.
' Even those In possession of confiden
tial information from abroad admitted
that the British premier had given a
broader view and Interpretation of the
military situation on all fronts than
had come to them. But most vital to
America was Mr. Lloyd George's reve
'latlons concerning the negotiations
which preceded the decision of the
United States - to brigade American
trobps with British mid French divi
sions, a decision which the British
premier refers to as "one of the most
important decisions of the war."
Both he and Premier Clemen
ceau felt that since there was no
hope for the aid of Amerioa in the
form of a separate army, the
United 8tates could best help by
permitting ner forces to be ab
sorbed in British and French unite.
They knew it was a delicate mat
ter to present to ask America to
give up her opportunity, for the
present, of fighting the Germans
as a separate unit and take com
mands from British and French of
ficers. For months that has been the crux
of England'e political controversy over
the Versailles war council, which was
created obviously to camouflage the
appointment of a generalissimo.
The British staff didn't want to let
control" of the Hrltlsh armies out of
their hands. They didn't want to take
commands from a foreign general, and
the opposition to Lloyd George capi
talised that situation. ,
Agreed to'Amalgamatlon.
But the German offensive changed
inn t tors and now not 6n!y does Ureat
Britain assent to the appointment of
Clcn. Koch os a. generalissimo. some
thing that would have met with bit
ter opposition a month ago, but Pres
ident W'llHon, profiting by his observa
tion of Kngllsh embarrassments, un
hesitatingly agreed to the proposal for
tho amalgamation of onr troops with
those of (treat Britain and France.
Naturally, every American feels that
Its own high olfloers are best. Nat
mully, there is even toduy a keen re
gret among American army men that
the divisional organizations begun In
this country era not going to be com
pleted, but hs in everything else about
the pulley of the United Htates in the
war, the president has almply said that
a wish from the allies Is r command.
Great Britain and France merely
nave to aay what it is they want
America to do in a military way,
and to the best of America's ability
the request will be complied with.
Much of our own confusion in the
last year has been due to the con
tusion in the allied councils be
cause they did not alwaye know
what they wanted or what they
wanted most urgently.
The British premier happily reveals
lng out of "national prejudices, na
tlonal Interests, professional prejudices
and traditions" are fully recognized.
As he states It, all these can bs over
jome by public opinion.
Fortunately. Ameriean public
opinion has thus far sustained the
president in his decision to put our
own troops into ins nsia wun xne
British, but the greatest difficulties
which we probably will encounter
have not yet dawned upon the
great bulk of our people.
Being brigaded with British and
French divisions, of course, American
forces come under their rules and reg
ulations. The British believe in giv
ing their men a stimulating drink now
and then, and there may be no way of
dlstkngulshing between our own forces
and the British in this respect, but all
these things must be brushed aside In
an emergency which Is the greatest of
the-whole war.
It may bs Impossible for our men
to have the same facilities back of
the lins as thsy might have had in
an Amsrioan army under different
circumstances, but the need for
men is paramount, and the hope is
' thst as soon ss there is a lull in
the fighting next summer and Brit
ish reinforcements come up, the
American troops can be withdrawn
to their own main organizations.
But aside from the fact that the
American forces, by being for the pres
ent brigaded with ' the British and
French, will strengthen -the resistance
to the German superdrive, : speed in
training troops will be one of the most
beneficial results of the move. Hith
erto when the transports were un
loaded, many regiments waited until
other regiments arrived sometimes a
period of six weeks before the entire
division as organized in the United
States could arrive and be trained as
a unit.
Get Into Aotion Fsstsr. ,
Now a transport carries several bat
talions, and the American forces are
put Into the line battalion by bat
talion. It is exactly what the United
States would do if the entire battle line
were controlled by American com
manders. The new" battalions would
be nvoved about as units and stationed
in the buttle, line wherever they could
help the moat and get the benefit of
the advanced training of veieran com
panies. .
Not only will American troops

pet into sction faster, but they will
be almost as w'l trained as under
the system of divisional training "
followed until the German drive
upset our plans. There msy bs
other .changes dictated by emer
gency situationa.
The British premier says signifi
cantly "Arrangements are being made
for the fighting strength of tho Amer
ican army to be brought Immediately
to bear, In this struggle, which is only
now beginning, to this extent, and It
In no mere small extent, that the Ger
man attack has been held up; It has

of America beyond anything which has

planted about the edges, and a space In
the center Is adorned with beds of
hardy flowers. A gardener from Cork
makes a weekly visit to the graves.
After the war It is proposed to build
a monument on the site. This la to be
done by the steamship company in co
operation with the British e-ovrnmnt
and a plot of ground has been reserved
for this purpose.
There are three trenches, the largest
of which contains seventy bodies, the
second fifty and the third twenty-seven,
The plot for the memorial Is between
the second and third trenches. A few

The graves are seldom visited by the
villagers. They say they shun them
because they recall the terrible scenes
enacted nearly three years age. One of
the latest visitors was the American
fconsul here, Charles M. Hathaway, Jr.
who escorted a group of American na

was used as a morgue for the victims,

the last few weeks the villagers have I
begun to use It again, but only after a
squad of painters and decorators had i

such a cheerful place that the. mer
