...great a measure its success is due to the untiring devotion of the volunteer instructors who have taken up the task which many of them would have been glad to avoid, and carried it forward with conspicuously good results. They have given unsparingly of their time and strength, and it is highly unfortunate that the group as a whole should be pilloried for the slight mistakes which one or two may have made. It is furthermore unjust to make the inference that the recent reorganization of the Corps is due to their incompetence. As a matter of fact, the change...
...less military experience than he himself, but rather of those who have directed the work of the Corps on Soldiers Field, in barracks and at Barre. In any military body strong centralized authority and its complement, centralized responsibility, are always essential; beyond a doubt their absence has menaced the strength of our military organization this year.

The result was that the thinly held line of the Alone was broken through by a German force which outnumbered the British and French on that line...
...great German offensive must be a source of serious thought. Germany has won a victory of importance and has indefinitely postponed the termination of the war. We realize she is suffering heavily the attrition which accompanies every advance. We have faith in the strength of Foch's British and French line. We expect to hear of Allied reserves and exhaustion of the German army. Yet we cannot discount the gravity of the situation. It calls for everything we have to give; it bids America hasten that the line may not break. It demands a reconseeration of every...
