Excerpt from The World's Work, Vol. 36: May, to October, 1918; A History of Our Time It is greatly to the credit of the British Government, that has more men under arms both at sea and on shore than any of her allies, that she should be willing to put the army that bore the brunt of last year's fighting under other leaders than her own, for the common benefit. And the United States has likewise shown a willingness to put aside all pride, and cooperate for the common good. We have not only unhesitatingly put Pershing's gallant little army under General Foch; we have gone much farther than that. We have made an arrange ment whereby various American units can be merged with the British and French forces. To swallow our pride and use our allies' help to train our troops is obviously the course of true patriotism, and the Administration or General Bliss or whoever made the decision is deserving of the Nation's thanks. The unification of effort and command at the front greatly improves our chances of rapid training and skillful use of the armies in the field. We can look to General Foch to make the best use of the armies which are given him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
