Pershing Outlines Stewardship and War Deficiencies
Washington, Dec 3. General John Pershing’s account of his stewardship as commander of the American expeditionary forces was released by Secretary Baker. The report covers operations to Nov 20 after the German collapse, noting Allied and American actions from Cantigny to the Meuse Argonne offensive, and detailing American divisions, tanks, artillery, and aviation needs met largely by French aid with later home production. He praises officers and soldiers and highlights the scale of Meuse Argonne and St Mihiel successes, the growth of the American army, and the evolving Allied cooperation. He also notes shortfalls in artillery, aviation, and tanks and explains French support and future domestic production expectations.
