Paris.—Out of the confusion and
daze of the crowning military events
on the western battle line since late
in September, when battle followed
battle until from Flanders to Arerdun
there was ceaseless action, it is now
permissible to outline to a certain ex-
tent the part played by the American
armies in the final decisive battle of
the war, which ended with the armis-
tice November 11. .
Military reasons heretofore have pre-
vented accentuating the accomplish-
ments of the Americans, except in a
most general manner.
But it now may be stated that twen-
ty-one American divisions, totaling
mofb than 750,000 American combat
troops, participated in the action be-
ginning September 26, known various-
ly as the battle of the Argonne and
the battle of the Meuse, but which his-
tory may call Sedan—the battle that
brought Germany to her knees and,
as far as human foresight goes, ended
the world’s bloodiest and costliest
war.
In order to understand the military
situation which made the Argonne op-
erations the crux of the war, it is nec-
essary to go back to the reduction of
the St. Mihiel salient in the middle of
September.
This brilliant American accomplish-
ment is still fresh in history. It cut
off at one stroke a. menacing, enemy

Few Escape.
There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortu-
nate who have but one and get
through with it quickly and without
any serious consequences. Take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
observe the directions with each bottle,
and you are likely to be one of the
fortunate ones. The worth and merit
of this remedy has been fully proven.
There are many families who have
always used i; for years when troub
led with a cough or cold, and with
the very best results.

Even before the armistice
agreement was signed by Ger-
many, government officials, real-
izing that peace was near, began
preparations for the demobiliza-
tion of America’s dai g war forces
and, now that permanent peace
is assured, the work of returning
to civil life approximately four
million men no longer needed in
our army and navy is being push-
Aside from our overseas
of more than two million men
transportation problem incident
to the disbandment of the near-
ly two million soldiers under
training here is enormous,
the under-taking involved in
returning to this country of
big army now in Europe is
more difficult than any similar
under-taking in the world’s his-
tory.
In this connection it is inter-
esting to note the fact that, after
the Civil War. it took seventeen
months to disband the Northern
Army, although that army was
smaller than the one now under
training in this country. Owing,
however, to greatly improved
transportation facilities it is pro-
bable that the demobilization of
the present forces in America
will be accomplished in less than
half the time required for similar
purposes at the end of the Civil
War.
Demobilization after the Fran-
co-Prussian War, even though no
oversea transportation was nec-
essary, consumed two years and
four months.
The disbandment of theTurko-
Russian armies took about eight-
een months.
At the end of the Russo Japa-
nese War Russia consumed thir-
teen months and Japan eight
months in getting their armies
back home.
Although the Spanish Ames i-
can War required the oversea
transportation of only a compara-
tively small number of troops,
sixteen months elasped after the
close of the war befo e the hst
American forces were uomobiliz
ed.
The work of bringing Eng-
land’s troops back home after
projection toward Verdun and weak-
ened the enenp''js. defensive by threat-
ening Metz, one- of German; s two
greatest advance railway centers for
distributing troops and supplies along
the Montmedy-Sedan line.
Metz also was the pivot on which
the enemy swung through Belgium
into France and therefore obviously
“it was the pivot on which his retire-
ment must hinge.” The Argonne, the
next step below- here, threatened the
great railway arteries running west-
ward from Metz.
With the conclusion of the St. Mi-
hiel action, the steady inflow of Amer-
ican forces caused a displacement of
power as between the allied and Ger-
man armies. Thus it no longer was
necessary to pursue a policy of reduc-
ing a salient or nibbling at it. The
American troops had shown what they
could do.

The above f>cts would seem to
indicate that, even under the
most favorable conditions—sincq'
the American army in Europe is
many times greater than any
other fighting force ever before
sent overseas—the return of our
European army will necessarily
take at least a year. However,
in view of the fact that it will
probably be necessary for Amer
ica, as well as England, France
and possibly other countries to
maintain very considerable forc-
es in or on the borders of Ger-
many for a considerable period
in order to see to it that the
terms of peace are complied with
it seems quite possible that a
large number of American sold-
iers may remain in Europe and
thus delay complete demobiliza-
tion of the expeditionary force
for a number of years—possibly
a dozen or more.
