General Orders No. 18 In accordance with a proclamation of the President of the United States dated June 18, 1916, calling out under the Constitution and laws of the United States a part of the organized militia to be employed in the service of the United States, the Commanding General, Division, will cause the organization of his command, less coast artillery troops, to assemble forthwith at their respective home stations in the equipment prescribed for field duty preparatory to their muster into the service of the United States. BY COMMAND OF THE GOVERNOR: LOUIS W. STOTESBURY, The Adjutant General. STATE OF NEW YORK THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE Albany, June 21, 1916. General Orders No. 19 I. The organizations of the National Guard of this state, less coast artillery troops, having been directed to be assembled forthwith at their respective home stations by General Orders No. 18, this office, dated June 19, 1916, pursuant to a call from the President of the United States, the following instructions relative to the mobiliza- tion of troops under said order are hereby published for the information and guidance of all concerned. II. The Commanding General, Division, is authorized to detail for duty as camp staff officers such officers of the Adjutant General's Department, Quartermaster Corps and Medical Corps as may be required for administrative purposes. III. Regimental and other separate organization commanders are charged with subsisting the enlisted men of the National Guard, reporting at their respective home stations, and for this purpose they will be limited to an allowance of seventy-five cents per day for each enlisted man actually present for duty as shown by the morning report. They are also charged with providing necessary fuel, bedding and forage, and for shoeing of authorized horses, pertaining to their respective organizations. The allowances authorized for such purposes are specified by Army Regulations (paragraphs 1044-1077). Purchases will be made covering periods of not more than five days at a time. Receipted vouchers will be obtained on Forms 330 and 335, War Department, and forwarded for settlement direct to the Adjutant General of the state, accompanied by consolidated ration returns. IV. The Commanding General, Division, is authorized, while troops remain at their home stations and where armory facilities do not exist for sleeping, to allow organization commanders to permit such enlisted men of their respective commands as they may designate to sleep at home. 569 V. All officers and enlisted men will be examined by an officer of the Medical Department, prior to their leaving their company rendezvous, with a view to determin- ing the presence of any infectious or contagious disease. VI. Drill and instructions of all organizations will be commenced at once and carried out in accordance with the drill regulations of the arm of which the organiza- tion is a part. The Commanding General, Division, will issue necessary instructions in regard to the character and time to be devoted daily to drills while organizations are at their home stations. VII. Commanding officers of organizations will cause them to be recruited to the maximum enlisted strength given below: Company of infantry 150 Regiment of infantry 1,836 Troop of cavalry 100 Regiment of cavalry 1,236 Battery of light artillery 171 Regiment of field artillery 1,128 Company of engineers 164 Battalion of engineers 494 Company of signal troops 77 Field battalion of signal troops 163 Ambulance company 79 Field hospital 67 The maximum enlisted strength of sanitary troops attached to organizations is given in General Orders No. 3, A. G. 0., 1916. VIII. No recruit will be accepted in any organization until he has been griven a thorough physical examination by a medical officer and has been found to conform to the physical standard prescribed for the Regular Army. Such physical standard is given in Circular 5, D. M. A., 1916. IX. The National Defense Act, approved by the President of the United States, June 3, 1916, contemplates the transition of the present organized militia into National Guard upon fulfillment of the requirements prescribed in Sections 70 and 73 of the Act cited relative to enlistment contracts and oaths. The form of new oath to be taken by officers and the form of new oath and enlisted contract to be subscribed and sworn to by enlisted men must conform to the requirements of the Act. Form of oath and contract will be sent to each organization for use as soon as possible. The oath for officers and contract and oath for enlisted men will be subscribed and sworn to before a recognized officer of the National Guard. To be qualified Jfor this duty, the officer must have subscribed to the oath for commissioned officers of the National Guard before a notary public or an officer of the Regular Army ; that is to say, no officer of the National Guard is authorized to administer the oath until he has himself qualified under the provisions of the Act. Three copies of each form should be made in the case of each commissioned officer and organization (company, troop, battery, etc.), one to be retained by the organization for record and two to be forwarded direct to the Adjutant General of the state. X. The accountable officers in each organization are designated as the representa- tives of the Governor to act with the designated mustering officers of the United States to inventory and inspect all property of the United States and the state taken by the National Guard into the Federal service. Preparatory to the transfer, every officer accountable for public property will immediately take or cause to be taken an inventory of the same. The inventory, which will be made by actual count, should include all the property issued by the state to, or purchased with the military funds or allowances of the organizations, whether on hand in the storeroom or lockers, so as to show all property now in the possession of the organization. All property not to be taken 570 into the service of the United States will be promptly invoiced, turned over and receipted for by the commanding officer of the depot unit. All property to be taken into the service of the United States will, as soon as a regiment or other separate organiza- tion has been mustered into the service of the United States, be invoiced by the proper officer of the regiment of separate organization as follows : (a) Clothing, camp and garrison equipage, subsistence and quar- termaster supplies to the quartermaster. (b) Property pertaining to medical department to the senior medi- cal officer. (c) Property pertaining to the corps of engineers, ordnance de- partment and signal corps to an accountable officer detailed by the regimental or other commander of a separate organization from his staff. Property pertaining to each department will be invoiced separately. Transfers of property will be accomplished on Form No. 25, which will be supplied for the purpose by this office without requisition. Receipts will be obtained in triplicate, one copy to be retained by the accountable officer and two copies to be forwarded direct to the Adjutant General of the state. When the property is transferred in accordance with the foregoing authority, the accountable officers, upon invoicing the same and obtaining the prescribed receipts therefor, are relieved of further accountability for the property so transferred. XI. Reginjental and other commanders of separate organizations will forward direct to the Adjutant General of the State, State Arsenal, 463 Seventh Avenue, New York City, requisitions for clothing, equipment and supplies necessary to care for their organizations at the enlisted strength stated in paragraph VII of this order. XII. Commanding officers of regiments not heretofore authorized to organize machine-gun companies and troops and the detailed portion of headquarters companies and troops and of supply companies are hereby authorized to form such units. XIII. When the organizations have completed their inventories and have made suitable arrangements for caring for the property to be left at their home stations, the Commanding General, Division, will issue the necessary orders to move the organiza- tions of his command, assembled pursuant to G. O. No. 18, A. G. 0., 1916, to the mobilization camp, now established and owned by the state at Green Haven, Town of Beekman, Dutchess County, N. Y. XIV. In order to carry out the provisions of M. L. 120, depot units will be at once organized for each regiment or other unit assembled for service. A depot company will be formed for each separate company, troop or battery and a depot battalion for all other organizations. A depot battalion may consist of any number of companies not exceeding twelve. The enlisted personnel of depot units will be divided into two classes designated respectively Class A and Class B. Class A will consist of men available to fill vacancies in the organizations of the National Guard in the service of the United States. Class B will consist of all other enlisted men of such organiza- tions. XV. Muster in rolls will be prepared upon the blank forms supplied for that purpose, and in accordance vfith models and detailed instructions accompanying the same. Commanding officers should be directed to personally see that these rolls contain all information that might in any way affect pay, or which it might be necessary to consider in the settlement of claims for pensions. The muster into the service of the United States will be carried out in accordance with the detailed regulations therefor prescribed by the Secretary of War. XVI. The pay of the National Guard called into the service of the United States begins from the day on which it appears at the place of company rendezvous. It is 571 essential that the date on which each member reports at the rendezvous, or joins his organization, be accurately noted on muster in and pay rolls, in order that men may receive proper pay and that all prescribed records be accurately and fully kept, in order that the state may be reimbursed for the actual expense incurred in mobilization. XVII. The Commanding General, Division, will direct the Chief Quartermaster to furnish the transportation necessary for the execution of this order. XVIII. General Orders No. 14, A. G. 0., 1916, will be deemed superseded by G. O. 18 and G. 0. 19, A. G. 0., 1916. BY COMMAND OF THE GOVERNOR: LOUIS W. STOTESBURY, The Adjutant General.

MEMORANDUM TO ALL REGIMENTAL AND BATTALION COMMANDERS OF INFANTRY The Division Commander desires that particular attention be paid to the following and that all of the recommendations and requirements be carefully observed : 1. The people of Sterling's Ranch and Young's Ranch are most hospitably inclined, but owing to the large number of troops that will be located at or near those places during the coming practice march regimental commanders will station guards at both Sterling's Ranch and Young's Ranch, with instructions to notify all officers and enlisted men that they are not to enter the house or premises during the march. 2. Instructions will be given and every precaution taken to prevent damage of any kind to personal or public property. 3. Officers and enlisted men will be instructed not to trespass on private property. 4. Officers and enlisted men are to be warned that the appropriation of any articles, small or large, as souvenirs may work a hardship on the owners, and such conduct is prohibited. 5. The most careful sanitary precautions will be adopted on the march, during halts and in camps. Regimental commanders will charge their regimental surgeons with seeing that every care is exercised in maintaining the health of the command. 6. Whenever a camp is vacated the ground will be thoroughly policed, and policing means leaving it in such a condition that practically no evidence will be visible to the casual observer that the site had been occupied by troops. 7. Recruits are usually inclined to drink up all the water in their canteens during the first stages of the march or at the first halt, and then refill them at the first opportunity Regardless of the kind of water. The contemplated marches are all so short that during very few of them will it be necessary to drink any water whatever; in any event, all company commanders will be instructed to see that the canteens of all of the men in their command are filled with good potable water before starting, and that there is no waste of same during the march. 8. As it may be difficult at some of the camp sites to supply large quantities of water, all commanding officers are charged with seeing that the men are economical in the use of water for any purpose. 9. All officers before starting on the march should carefully read over those paragraphs of Field Service Regulations and Infantry Drill Regulations which pertain to marches and should instruct their men to do the same. 10. It is seldom practicable to establish a typical camp as indicated in the Field Service Regulations. The location and arrangement of regimental, battalion and company camps will be such as to preserve the health of the command, and to interfere as little as possible with the comfort of the men. 11. Commanding officers are cautioned to see that the men in pitching their shelter tents have the closed ends towards the prevailing wind. 12. Just before starting on all marches, maneuvers or military exercises all troops will be inspected for ball ammunition. 13. Company commanders are charged with seeing that the men's equipment are properly adjusted. 14. Regimental commanders will require that all their animals be taken from the picket line at the same time and watered together. This to avoid the possibility of any animal being overlooked. 15. Regimental, battalion and company commanders will, from time to time, march at the rear of their organizations to see that the march is being properly conducted. 16. Company commanders will see that sufficient oil and cleaning material for 579 the arms is carried on the march, and that all arms are oiled and cleaned as many times each day as may be necessary to keep them in proper condition. 17. The old established armory custom of "grounding arms" is prohibited. The men under no circumstances will lay their guns upon the ground, either collectively or individually. Ordinarily slings may be loosened so as to sling the piece over the shoulder and in any ordinary emergency requiring freedom of movement, and if a large detachment or company is required for any purpose, it will be moved to a suitable place and arms stacked. 18. It has been noted that mounted orderlies and others are inclined to slouch in the saddle. All officers are charged with observing mounted enlisted men and requiring them to sit squarely and properly in the saddle. 19. The different regiments will be observed and inspected at various places along the line of march by officers especially detailed for that purpose, and the efficiency of the commands will be judged by the number of stragglers, extent to which the commands are closed up, the general appearance of the men, etc. 20. Each regimental commander will have full charge of the selection of his own camp site, and the making of all arrangements connected with the camp. 21. Company commanders are particularly enjoined to keep the feet of the men in good condition.. 22. Only field and staff officers will be mounted. 23. A guard of one squad with belts filled with ball ammunition will accompany and guard each combat wagon. This detail will be changed daily, and will also be charged with guarding any prisoners. This guard will not participate in maneuvers and exercises. Battalion commanders will make suitable arrangements for promptly supplying their command with ball amrtiunition in case of ehiergency.

COMBAT FIRING INTERESTS INFANTRY BRIGADE La Gloria Field Range Course Both Instructive and Enjoyable Major Chandler, Range Officer With the completion of the combat firing problem at La Gloria by the 1st and 2d Brigades of Infantry, a record has been established of which the whole New York Division should be proud. Never before in this country has a combat problem of the size of this one been accomplished either in respect to the number of men who have shot over the range (about 5,000) or the amount of ammunition used, totaling approxi- mately 20,000 rounds. The rifle range was designed by Major Fred M. Waterbury, Division Ordnance Officer, and was built by the 22d New York Engineers. The range officer is Major George F. Chandler, Adjutant of the 1st Brigade, and Lieutenant Percy E. Barbour, of the 22d Engineers, is assistant range officer. The 1st and 2d Brigades of Infantry have fired the problem, each man using forty rounds of ammunition. The troops which are going from Canada to Europe have only forty-five rounds per man shooting before going into action on the big battle line. 580 All the troops concede that the La Gloria problem is one of the most interesting yet given to the guard in the border service. The problem as worked out by the range officer simulates an advance guard action. A company is taken to the foot of the range in advance g^uard formation and is suddenly fired on by the point of the enemy. They are actually fired on by blank ammunition. The point advances and, using service ammunition, ball cartridges, fires at the prone targets showing, of which there are four. Having driven these back and having been reinforced, an advance is made against sixteen targets that have appeared farther along the range. After having subdued these, advance is made against twenty targets coming up farther back representing the support. Each company commander handles his company as he chooses, except that he is not allowed to advance unless, or until, he has fire superiority. After this last set of targets, 100 yards of chaparral is cautiously passed through, and the line deployed on its edge to encounter the main body of the enemy seen in a line of sixty-four targets at the end of a clearing about 280 yards long. All ranges are unknown, and the targets are operated from pits and governed by telephone from a big switchboard at the end of the range. After the firing the company is taken up to the last row of targets to observe results, and then some very interesting visibility stunts are worked out by the range officers. One platoon at each end of the last cleared range kneels, lies down in the firing position, and then, removing hats and laying down rifles, hugs the ground and literally melts into the landscape. This always brings a gasp of surprise from the observers; the surprise at the unexpected and almost total cover afforded by a flat, open field. Then a demonstration of a patrol crossing a road brings further surprises. A man rolls slowly across and almost always accomplishes the trip without detection; whereas the patrol dashing across is alway detected. Then the observing company is informed by the range officer that it is being watched by an observer in plain sight on the edge of the chaparral, and they are asked to spot him. But his absolute immobility makes him very hard to find, and it is generally not until he moves, on signal, that his position is detected. - The range is run by a detachment from E Company, 22d Engineers, in command of Lieutenant Percy E. Barbour. A detail of the 1st Battalion Signal Corps attends to the telephone and buzzer communications, and is a very efficient unit. Lieutenant Willis Linn of the 2d Ambulance Corps is in command of a detail assigned to the range, and has a dressing station to attend to any casualties, which fortunately have not yet happened, and he is also sanitary inspector of the camp and range. A battalion of infantry arrives early in the morning, shoots that day and the next, and departs the second evening. Despite rainy weather, or any other vicissitude, these troops have been moving on this schedule for nearly two months without hitch; arriving, shooting and departing on regular schedule. An interesting and, it is to be hoped, valuable test of the comparative merits of point blank and battle sight has been made by the range officers. All the problem firing is being done using point blank sight, but one company of every battalion has also fired the course using battle sight. Almost without exception (and that only to the extent of a decimal figure) the battle sight has fallen down compared to point blank sight. This supports the contention of Major Chandler, and many other expert riflemen, that for battle conditions as they are to be in the future the old battle sight must give way to a better one, which is not at all difficult to devise. A formula was evolved to cover the problem at La Gloria in which dispersion of fire is an effective factor, and the work done by each company is similarly computed and will be published after the shooting is completed. Up to the last battalion of the last brigade the 7 th Regiment was leading with a high score, but the 3d Tennessee shot a tie score, followed by the 74th, 23d, 69th and 12th Regiments in the order named. The 1st Cavalry is now shooting, and from present indications will make an excellent figure. 581 EXHIBIT 8 STATE OF NEW YORK THE ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE New York State Arsenal, Seventh Avenue, Corner Thirty-fifth Street New York, N.

OVERCOATS. — It is the policy of the division commander to provide the enlisted men with the overcoat and one (1) blanket, the overcoat to be used in lieu of the second blanket. On the march, the authorized blanket will be carried in the pack, and the overcoat will be worn as is done in the French army, or at the option of the regimental commander, will be left in the area at such places and under such guard, properly rationed, as the regimental commander, who is responsible, may prescribe. In the latter case, lorries will be supplied to carry the overcoats to the new area as such lorries may become available, and accordingly to facilitate the expeditious handling of this property. The overcoats of squads will be tied together and those of two squads roped together into bales and tagged. These bales will therefore weigh approxi- mately seventy-two pounds. This system will not only enable the regiments to retain their own overcoats, but will make it practicable for individual men to regain their own property after each move. G-1 will be promptly notified of the exact location of such overcoat dumps for later collection and return to units as transportation becomes available. 8. EXTRA BLANKETS.— Will be folded and tied into bales of twenty to be moved by baggage wagons for their respective units. 9. EVACUATION OF SICK AND INJURED MEN.— Unchanged.

GAS RESPIRATORS. — Defective respirators or defective parts of respirators, together with all other defective gas defense suppUes, will not be considered as material for salvage but will be returned to Division Ordnance Officer by vehicles delivering new or replace- ment respirators. 5. As a precaution against long range gas shell bombardments, and in view of the possi- bility of gas bombs being dropped by enemy planes, all units of the division will arrange for and maintain a sufficient local alarm for gas warnings. Civilians will be notified as to the meaning of these alarms by Area Commandant in conjunction with the French and Belgian Missions. On no account will Strombos horns be used for this purpose. They will be used entirely for giving warning of a cloud gas discharge. Such a device as a suitable iron bar, piece of iron pipe or similar devices capable of producing sufficiently loud sound is suggested. 624 At Oudezeele, Commanding Officer, Military Police, is charged with the provision of such alarm and with notification to civilians through Area Commandant.

The improper preparation of rations are generally traceable to the faulty handling of it by those responsible. Undoubtedly much depends on the skill of the company cooks. Commanding officers will make recommendations for cooks of their commands to attend the course at the Army School of Cookery when vacancies may be available. 5. CASUAL CAMP.- — (a) A casual camp for the reception of replacements, etc.-, has been established in the vicinity of Personnel Rail-head (Esquelbecq) at 27/C.19.d.3.8. (b) Captain Harry L. Pearson, 102d Trains and Military Police, is announced^ as Camp Commander. (c) Personnel proceeding from casual camp to join their units can be conveyed by meter gauge railway. 6. Supply Train leaves Esquelbecq at 8:39 a. m. daily, for Winnezeele. Passenger trains leave BoUezeele for Esquelbecq at 6:12 A. m. and 1:32 P. M. daily. Journey about one-half hour. 7. Parties of not more than fifty at a time can be conveyed by these trains, providing notice is given to R. T. O., Esquelbecq, not later than 6:00 P. M. of the preceding day. G-1 should be informed of such requirements not later than 5:00 p. m. The above arrangement is dependent upon the traffic situation. R. T. O. may on occa- sions have to regulate the size of parties moving by rail. Arrangements to send parties of more than fifty by these trains require two days' advance notice to XIX Corps "Q". G-1 to be given more than two days' notice. 8. Entraining station on meter gauge railway for detachments from this division pro- ceeding to or from casual camp is Winnezeele. 9. EMPTY CONTAINERS.— All petrol tins, sacks and cases are charged against the division at rail-head by Rail-head Supply Officer. Commanding officers are charged with the issuance of necessary instructions to their organizations for the return of all such articles by animal-drawn transport to refilling points, thence by mechanical transport to the Division Supply Office at rail-head, in order that credit may be given. In this connection the practice of mutilating petrol tins and utilizing them for other use than that for which they are intended is prohibited. BY COMMAND OF MAJOR GENERAL O'RYAN: STANLEY H.

This division will commence Period "B " in the scheme of training on July 26, 1918, troops moving to the front line on night of July 25th-26th. The scheme provides for sending four Infantry Battalions (one-third of Regimental Signal sections with each battalion), four Machine Gun Companies, six platoons of Engineer Battalions, and detachments of Radio, Wire and Outpost Companies of the Field Signal Battalion, to be trained in the forward area of the XIX Corps simultaneously. INFANTRY 1. Two battalions will be sent up to be attached to the 6th Division and two to the 41st Division for eight days, so that in twenty-four days the whole twelve battalions will have done eight days' training in the forward area. 2. Battalions will carry out the following program during their eight days' tour in the forward area: First Day — 1st and 2d Companies from each battalion distributed among British troops in the front system as individuals — proportion of British troops withdrawn. 3d and 4th Companies in Scherpenberg-Dickebusch line and redoubt line — proportion of British troops withdrawn. Second Day — 1st and 2d Companies in front system by platoons, displacing alternate British platoons, which will be withdrawn. 3d and 4th Companies as for first day. Third Day — 1st and 2d Companies in front system by companies, displacing alternate British companies. 3d and 4th Companies as for first and second days. Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Days — 1st and 2d Companies change places with 3d and 4th Companies, and same procedure is carried out as on first, second and third days. Seventh and Eighth Days — American battalions to be in front system as battalions, dis- placing British battalions, which will be withdrawn. Ninth Day — American battalion relieved by British battalion and another American battalion distributed among British troops in the front system as on first day. 629 ENGINEERS Period of training will be subdivided into four periods of six days each, during each of which one platoon of American Engineers will be attached to each of the Field Companies of the 6th and 41st Divisions in the line, i. e., six platoons in all (three from each Engineer Battalion). Thus in twenty-four days the whole twenty-four platoons of the American Engineer Regiment will have carried out a course of training in the line. MACHINE GUNS The period of training will similarly be divided into four periods of six days each. During each of the first three periods two Machine Gun Companies of this division will be attached to the Machine Gun Battalion of 6th Division and two Machine Gun Companies to the Machine Gun Battalion of the 41st Division. During the fourth period one company will be attached to each Divisional Machine Gun Battalion. SIGNAL BATTALION Details of the attachment of Signal personnel will be notified later. GENERAL All troops of this division not in the forward area will continue their training in and in rear of the East Pop. Line. BY COMMAND OF MAJOR GENERAL O'RYAN: STANLEY H.

HEADQUARTERS, 27th DIVISION American Expeditionary Forces, France General Orders No. 68 August 12, 1918. VIOLATION OF CENSORSHIP REGULATIONS Violations in the division are increasing. This is particularly true in the matter of picture post cards. No picture post cards of any description showing towns, buildings or localities in Europe will be sent through the mail by any members of this command. Commanding officers will see that every officer and enlisted man in their command is thoroughly conversant with all provisions of Censorship Regulations prescribed in publication S.S. 393A, Censorship Orders for Troops in the Field, American Expeditionary Forces, and commanding officers will be held responsible therefor. Effective disciplinary action will be taken in each case where it is found that an officer or an enlisted man has violated the Regulations after having been properly instructed. Immediate commanding officer will be held responsible if investigation discloses the fact that officers and enlisted men have not been properly instructed. Disciplinary action taken must be of sufficient severity to insure that the offense will not be repeated. BY COMMAND OF MAJOR GENERAL O'RYAN: STANLEY H. FORD, Colonel, G. S., OFFICIAL: Chief of Staff. H. B. BATTENBERG, Adjutant General, Adjutant. 630 EXHIBIT 24 54th Infantry Brigade SECRET PLAN FOR DEFENSE OF THE EAST POPERINGHE LINE July 22, 1918.

The Enemy. — Enemy strength and dispositions are as given in the Intelligence reports from day to day. The corps front, from the Scherpenberg to Dickebusch Lake lines, is opposed by strong hostile forces. Indications point to an attack by the enemy which may take one of the following local forms: (a) A frontal attack on the XIX Corps along the Scherpenberg-Dickebusch Lake line. (b) An attack on the line Scherpenberg-Mont Rouge. (c) An attack on the corps to the south to capture Mont Rouge and Mont Noir. (d) An attack further south in order to turn the Mont Noir-Mont Rouge Hills. (e) An attack north of Dickebusch Lake. These attacks all subsidiary, but part of a major operation. (2) MISSION: Our division constitutes the reserve of the XIX British Corps. Its mission is: (a) Defense of the East Poperinghe Line. (b) Defense of the Scherpenberg-Dickebusch Lake Line. (c) Defense of the Westoutre Line. (d) Counter-attacks on corps front. (e) Counter-attacks to the northeast. (f) Counter-attacks to the south or southeast. Under all circumstances the East Poperinghe Line is to be held. Therefore this is the most important of the above missions. (3) DISPOSITION OF TROOPS: A. Division Boundary. — In width the division boundary is co-extensive with that of the corps and is shown on maps. furnished regimental and battalion commanders. In depth, it extends primarily to the east to include the East Poperinghe Line, but under certain even- tualities it may be extended farther to the east as far as the Scherpenberg-Dickebusch Lake Line. B. Regimental Sectors. — The division sector is divided into three regimental sectors, which are shown upon the sketch map attached hereto. C. Position of Regiments in the Line. — The East Poperinghe Line is to be held by two regiments of one infantry brigade and one regiment of the other infantry brigade; each regiment disposed in depth with one battalion in support in the Boeschepe Line; and one battalion in reserve in the Godewaersvelde Line. The fourth infantry regiment, the regiment of engineers and two machine gun companies will be assembled as a divisional reserve in a position still further to the rear. Four machine gun companies will be grouped in the East Poperinghe Line, and eight held as brigade reserves near the Godewaersvelde Line. Maps have been furnished regimental and machine gun battalion commanders showing the disposition of machine guns along the East Poperinghe Line, and proposed positions along the Boeschepe Line. 631 D.

STANDING TRENCH ORDERS: (a) WoEK. — All organizations occupying any portion of the East Poperinghe Line, the Boeschepe Line and the Godewaersvelde Line will be employed in the work of strengthening their position. Such work will be done under proper supervision, and the commanding officer, 102d Engineers, will furnish such advice and assistance as may be required. (b) Existing trenches will be deepened; fire steps will be revetted; additional communi- cating trenches will be dug; latrines and refuse pits will be constructed, and any other work done which appears to be necessary. (c) Trenches will be named in each battalion sector and signs erected at crossroads and other important points in accordance with the following plan: Observation line 125th Street Supervision line 116th Street Support line 59th Street Reserve Une 23d Street Trench line, if any, between support and reserve 42d Street Main communicating trench 5th Avenue Communication to the trenches to the right of 5th Avenue: 4th Avenue 3d Avenue 2d Avenue Communication to the trenches to the left of 5th Avenue: 6th Avenue 7th Avenue 8th Avenue (d) Ranges will be measured and range cards made. (e) Lewis gun positions will be selected. (f ) Troops will be practised in manning the trenches, and officers and non-commissioned officers in sight-setting and fire-control. (g) Reconnaissance will be made to the front to include the Westoutre Line. (h) Additional wire will be erected where the present wire is too far from the trenches, and additional gaps will be cut in wire where needed. 2. RATIONS AND SUPPLIES: (a) Kitchens. — Sites will be selected for kitchens by or under the supervision of regi- mental commanders. The sites should be located far enough to the rear to render them reasonably safe from shell fire, and from them cooked food will be carried forward by carrying parties under plans to be formulated by or under the direction of the regimental commander. (b) Refilling. — Rations and porridge will be brought up from the rear in accordance with the plan outlined in the Division Plan of Advance (Annex No. 10). 3. EVACUATION: (a) First Aid Stations. — First aid stations and advance dressing stations will be selected and prepared under the supervision and direction of regimental commanders. (b) Main dressing station will be at Trappist Farm. (c) Station for slightly wounded will be at main dressing station. (d) Cases will be brought to regimental aid stations by regimental bearers, and from there to advance stations by field ambulance bearers on wheel stretchers. 634 (e) From advance dressing stations, cases will be taken to main dressing stations by ambulance cars. Cases will be evacuated from main dressing stations by ambulance or light railway to casualty clearing station at Esquelbecq. (f) Slightly wounded will be directed by guiding signs via advance dressing stations to main dressing stations. From there they will be evacuated to casualty clearing station by light railway or lorry. 4. STRAGGLERS: Straggler and collecting stations will be established under the direction of the A. P. M. XIX Corps, who is charged with the collection and disposition of stragglers. P. E. PIERCE, Brigadier General, Commanding. EXHIBIT 25 SECRET PLAN FOR REINFORCING AND COUNTER-ATTACK 1. In certain eventualities the 27th Division may be required to operate east of East Poperinghe Line. It may be required: (a) To reinforce any portion of the line Scherpenberg-La Clytte, N.8.b.4.5., N.3.C.4.O., N.3.d.5.8., N.4.a.l.5., H.34.C.3.2. (b) To counter-attack to re-establish any portion of the above line. A line of posts or defended localities is being constructed along the general line, M.10.d.central, M.ll.b. central, M.6.central, N.l.central, H.32.d., H.26.d., H.27.a., one of the functions of which is to assist the advance of counter-attacking troops against the line referred to in (a). (c) To reinforce any portion of the line Westoutre-East of Zevecoten (G.35.d.), Goed Moet Mill (H.25.a.), junction of Vlameringhe and Brandhoek lines in G.24.d. and thence along both lines to the boundary with II Corps. (d) To counter-attack to re-establish any portion of above line referred to in (c). (e) To form a flank facing south with the left on the Scherpenberg. (f) To form a flank facing northeast with the right along Dickebusch Lake. (g) To form a flank facing north with the right about G.24.central. 2. It is obviously impossible to lay down in advance the precise conditions under which the execution of any of the above tasks would be necessary, but a valuable aid to success in any case will be previous study by senior officers of the tasks which they may be called on to carry out, and a knowledge of the ground on which they may be called on to operate as widely disseminated as possible among all ranks. The retention of a nucleus garrison in the East Poperinghe Line will be essential under the conditions in which any of the above operations would be undertaken. 3. The division being disposed on the East Poperinghe, Boeschepe and Godewaersvelde lines, with three regiments side by side, 105th in north sector, 108th in center, and 107th in south sector, as in defense plan, the following will obtain: (i) In case of (a), (b), (c), (d) the three battalions on the Boeschepe will be used, moving forward through the battalions on the East Poperinghe Line. (ii) In case of (e) action will devolve upon the 107th Infantry with the two leading battalions, or all three. (iii) In case of (f) or (g) action will devolve upon the 105th Infantry, 4. Commanders concerned will study the situations outlined above and form tentative plans so that they may be prepared for any eventuality. BY COMMAND OF MAJOR GENERAL O'RYAN: STANLEY H.

FORD, Chief of Staff. EXHIBIT 27 HEADQUARTERS, 27th DIVISION, U. S. A. American Expeditionary Forces, France July 29, 1918. CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM Not to be Taken into the Front Line Trenches, But to be Studied and Made the Basis for Practical Tactical Walks Along the Front op the East Poperinghe Line The officers of the division were recently furnished with a confideritial report of an Ameri- can officer on recent fighting, wherein was described the effective manner in which the enemy forces, by the coordinated use of light machine guns, heavy machine guns, artillery fire and infantry assault, took positions that were fully prepared and supported by machine guns adequately installed, doing all this with little loss to themselves and with heavy casualties to the defenders. The memorandum did not point out the tactical defects in the plan of defense which resulted in the reverses reported, nor did it outline additional measures and methods, which, if applied, would have completely broken and stopped the German attack. It is the object of this memorandum to supply these deficiencies. The subject discussed herein and in the report referred to is of vital importance to this division at the present time and merits careful study. Brigade, regimental and battalion commanders will insure that their sub- ordinates give the subject such study. For this purpose the report referred to will be re-read at officer conferences, after which the methods and means herein outlined will be discussed and understood. These conferences should be followed by tactical walks along the front of the East Poperinghe Line for the purpose of applying in the best manner the methods indicated. When this has been done a further step is essential. This is that the non-commissioned officers of every company should have the entire subject explained to them so that they will have confidence in the effectiveness of the methods and means prescribed. In the first place, in any planned and prepared defensive, the tactical principles which govern the correct and effective use of troops in mobile operations should not be lost sight of. 636 On the contrary, they should be applied with only such modification as the trench installation calls for. One might go so far as to hold that the tactics of the defensive should be prescribed irrespective of any trench installation, and the trench system then installed solely for the purpose of strengthening the defense so planned. With this principle in view, the reader should turn to the report referred to and visualize the incidents described by the American officer. Doing this, it will be noted that the fully intrenched and prepared machine gun detachments and the troops that supported them appear to have been chained to their positions. It is further evident that the individual Germans who ran forward, taking up positions under cover within 500 yards of the defensive line, were not regarded as targets offering sufficient inducements for fire action, and so the defenders apparently withheld their fire and waited. Furthermore, it would seem, in visualizing the picture, that the advance fire trench was regarded as an extreme line of observation as well as of resistance and that in consequence no patrols were out in advance of that line. The same tactical principles which prompted the Germans, in making their attack, to send forward the machine gun combat patrols should have prompted the defenders of the front line to have had well forward of their lines similar combat patrols for the very purpose of preventing what their neglect permitted to happen, namely, effective fire on their trenches by small enemy groups pushed well forward and under the cover of whose fire the assaulting line was enabled to advance. With Lewis gun or rifle combat patrols pushed out from two to three hundred yards in advance of the defensive position and well screened from observation, the tactics of the enemy in pushing forward their light machine gun combat patrols would have been more than neutralized. They would have been shot down in their attempt to approach within effective range of the front line. This would seem to be obvious because the enemy patrols must necessarily expose themselves in going forward, while defensive patrols would have been screened by natural or camouflaged positions. It is reported that this actually happened in an attack on the 26th American Division, combat rifle patrols being pushed out to meet the German light machine gun patrols, and they were beaten at their own game by aggressiveness and superior marksmanship. From every point of view the installation of Lewis gun and rifle patrols in positions from two to three hundred yards beyond the front line trench merits adoption. In the first place, it conforms to tactical principles governing mobile operations. It prevents hostile patrols from gaining light machine gun positions of advantage from which to deliver destructive fire upon the visible trench. In the event of an assault, it furnishes opportunity for surprise fire and such fire is always effective. It tends to break up the assault and indeed may stop it before it reaches the front line trench. Such positions in many respects provide greater security for the occupants than can be provided them by the trenches, for the latter cannot be completely screened. The wire and the trenches are furthermore always targets for hostile artillery fire, while the camouflaged positions described would be outside the beaten zone of artillery fire. These pits should be provided for with the least possible delay along the entire front of our defensive line in the following manner, and upon the basis of one per 200 yards of front. The intervals should vary in accordance with the terrain. In selecting the exact spot for each rifle pit the primary consideration is field of fire; the seciondary consideration, cover. Their distance in front of the front Kne trench should be at least 200 yards and normally not more than 300 yards. The installation consists of a pit with vertical sides, large enough for two men to stand in and for one of them at a time to sit down, a place being hollowed out of the parados for the knees of the man sitting. The pit should be at least six feet deep with two wooden steps at such height as will enable the man standing upon them to fire the Lewis gun conveniently with the gim resting on the surface of the ground in front or at the sides of the pit. The first step in making the pit is to build a manhole cover for it. This may be made from a piece of corru- gated iron from a damaged Niessen hut. This should be covered with bagging or burlap painted to match the adjoining surface of the ground. The burlap can be held in place by sewing a hem around the edge, and folding the edge to the under side of the manhole cover and securing it with a puckering string. Through holes cut in the burlap on the top of the cover should be inserted pieces of sod or small plants such as weeds with the stems sticking out so as to give the cover a natural appearance. This device having been made, the pit is then dug at night, each spadeful of earth being placed in a burlap bag as it is excavated, the bags being carried to the rear and emptied as fast as they are filled. Perferably the wall of the pit should be lined with corrugated iron from salvaged huts, already cut to the proper size. This for the purpose of holding intact the earth walls of the pit. These corrugated iron sheets can 637 be held in position by ■wooden braces hammered into place between opposite sheets of metal. A duck-board bottom made of any wood available is desirable. A few tufts of weeds, tall grass, rye or wheat transplanted and naturally grouped about the front and sides of the pit will enable the observer to raise the front of the manhole cover a few inches and see without being seen. The pits should never be left exposed to aerial observation and therefore during the day the manhole cover should always be in place, during the construction of the pit and thereafter. An abundant supply of ammunition should be provided for. These places should normally be occupied at least an hour before dawn, the occupants remaining until after dusk. Therefore rations and water should be carried with them into the pit. To preserve the pits in sanitary condition they should be provided with small latrine cans with cover, to be removed after dusk. The selection of positions for these pits, in accordance with the principle above laid dawn,_wilL probably place some of them in standing crops. If so, this will clearly establish the total inadequacy of crop removal to give proper field of fire. In other instances it will be indicated that while the site of the particular pit is in open ground, crops are growing in its immediate front. These crops should be removed or destroyed with the least possible delay so as to provide a field of fire in every direction for at least 250 yards. The men selected to hold these positions should be chosen for their skill and determination. In addition to the Lewis gun, each pit should be provided with one rifle which will be used in preference to the Lewis gun when the target consists of an individual enemy patrol. Pits located within rifle grenade distance of important pockets of ground which might be occupied by the enemy should be provided with at least twenty rifle grenades. No difficulty should be experienced in the tactical use of these pits during the development of an attack, as our supporting artillery fire would be over them and upon enemy forces in front. Whether these combat patrols should be with- drawn immediately before the final assault on account of our own artillery barrage, or whether they should be maintained there with a view to breaking up the enemy assault, will depend upon arrangement between the infantry battalion and the group of guns covering the battalion front. Referring again to the events described by the American officer, it must be clear that even in the absence of the pits mentioned and described above, the defenders should have pushed out patrols of individual riflemen and an occasional Lewis gun group well in front of their defensive position, similar to the manner in which the enemy pushed out such patrols in front of his attacking wave. Had this been done, the enemy's tactics would have been negatived. The defenders had equal opportunity with the enemy to do this and with better advantage, because their men knew the ground and the distances better than the enemy could have known them. The next fundamental error of the defense on the occasion referred to in the report was the evident lack of liaison and communication between the front line troops and the supporting artillery. The infantry could not get the help of artillery fire. Probably the artillery was well positioned, liberally supplied with ammunition and with cover for the gun crews. But no matter how perfectly all these features may have been provided for, they have no value so far as the conduct of the defense is concerned unless the fire of the artillery can be promptly and accurately turned upon the enemy as the necessities of the action require. When it is considered that the supporting artillery will normally be disposed in depth from 1,000 to 4,000 yards in rear of the first defensive fire trench, the importance of their forward observation stations and the com- munication between such stations and the batteries becomes apparent. Frequently the best protection from the enemy's fire is afforded by a position screened from observation rather than a known or observable position strongly protected by mechanical defenses. The real effort for protection should be expended for the security of the communication between the observation station and the battery rather than upon the battery positions. The lesson taught by lack of secure communication between the front and the supporting guns is illustrated by the events described by the American officer, but it is not stated as such and it may be that many officers who have read the paper did not clearly understand the cause of the artillery failure, or their obligations as infantry officers in preparation to prevent a like occurrence. And in this connection, important obUgations rest upon the infantry officers. The artillery is merely an auxiliary agency to assist the infantry. If the artillery fails, the greatest conse- quences are to the infantry. Therefore, while artillery communication is primarily an artillery function, infantry commanding officers should concern themselves with the efficiency of the artillery 0. P.'s and the buried cable between them and the guns, and cooperate with the supporting artillery in any manner best calculated to insure prompt and durable communication. 638 No such result of enemy tactics as has been described in the report mentioned is conceiv- able in an attack on our line if our officers and non-commissioned officers will deal aggressively with all enemy tactics and base their aggressiveness upon the principles laid down in our Field Service Regulations. In this connection some of our officers appear to place too much value upon some particular tactical policy of the hour without sufficient inquiry concerning its application to their situation, and with perhaps too little consideration of the principle under- lying it. For example, we hear of the importance of holding the front trench very lightly and even of holding it with a few posts because of the effects of a heavy artillery bombardment. But it should be remembered that the East Poperinghe Line is not a first line system but a second Mne, and that an attack upon it might follow immediately behind the troops retreating upon it, the attack being prepared mainly by fire for destruction of the wire. The troops, to occupy our fire trenches, should therefore always be in such position that they can complete the occupation in ample time to shoot down the approaching enemy, and the occupation should be made with all the rifle bearers necessary for the purpose. Boyeaux or approach trenches are few in our system, and support troops should be practised in dashing over the top between support and fire trenches, so as to facilitate the manning of the trenches in that manner, if found desirable. Have a double tier of fire whenever practicable. To insure their timely arrival energetic patrols and alert observers are essential. Arrange for screened auxifiary observers in tall trees and upon buildings commanding a view of the front. Arrange, wherever possible, for the support trenches also to be manned where a field of fire over the trench in front exists or can be provided, and use a double firing line. With trenches thickly manned by determined men who can shoot and who have not been unduly disturbed by "morale shakers," the enemy should be shot down as fast as he is willing to come on. Leave nothing undone to insure results. Have the Stokes mortars and one-pounders where they can get busy without fail and with the best results in the shortest space of time. If they are too far back they may never get a chance. They are of no use unless used. Have a number of alternative positions prepared for them in advance. The one-pounders are admirable for dealing with advanced machine gun combat patrols and with hostile trench mortars, if riflemen and Lewis gun patrols have difficulty in destroying them. You know from your experience in firing exercises at Glassy Rock, S. C, how accurate and rapid is the one-pounder fire. Constantly we hear the admonition to dispose your troops in depth. The thing can be overdone quite easily, and therefore the tactical principle involved, rather than a rigid rule of application, should be considered carefully and a proper application of the principle applied to your particular sector. This is clear, for you can picture a disposition in depth which would amount to such separation of units of the command as would enable the massed attack of the enemy to defeat the subdivisions in details. Deep disposal of a command facilitates an orderly retreat, but we are not here to retreat. On the other hand, a firing line so heavily manned that its occupation utilizes a large proportion of the troops available presents serious conse- quences if the line is penetrated and there are not sufficient troops in rear to repair the damage. The solution requires judgment. In our case the leading battalions in the line should be disposed and rehearsed to insure a timely and heavy manning of the front line fire trenches so as to bring upon the enemy the greatest possible volume of fire in the event of an assault. Finally, any temporary hold gained anywhere in our line will be promptly dealt with by local counter-attack before the enemy can get his breath. Go to it " rough " — with the bayonet — remember that the enemy's occupation is the authoritative signal for the launching of the counter-attack and that no counter-attacks so delivered have ever failed. Should a penetra- tion, as distinguished from an occupation, of the line occur at any point, the front line in all other places should hold their ground, for the matter -will he dealt with by support and reserve troops in rear who will restore the situation. An attack made by the enemy on our line will result in his complete defeat with heavy losses, and as a defensive role is merely an expedient, such defeat will make timely a vigorous offensive on our part. All officers will therefore be prepared to participate in such action promptly upon the termination of the defensive phase of our operations. JOHN F.

It has been reported that transport intended for forward area has been arriving at Loye Cross Roads, L.35.d.2.3., before dark. Commanding officers will cause necessary instructions to be given to ensure that no such transport reaches the point named before it is actually dark, as no traffic is permitted forward of this point until after darkness. This is necessary in order to prevent a block in traffic. 2. BILLETS. Billeting parties of Headquarters Company, 107th ' Infantry, and of detachments from 104th Machine Gun Battalion at present stationed in vicinity of Abeele Aerodrome, will apply to Area Commandant Abeele for accommodations for their respective units, including horse lines, elsewhere in the area. The change of station will be effected by 12 noon, July 31st. Immediate report, giving map coordinates of such new locations, will be made to these headquarters. 3. USE OF BUILDING MATERIAL, (a) Brick, rubble and debris from towns and villages in the shelled area will only be used for the following services, priority being given as below: 1. Bursting dourses over dug-outs. 2. Concrete material in forward areas. 3. Road repairs in forward areas. 4. Horse standings. 5. Paths, incinerators and other billet requirements of troops in forward areas. (b) Uninhabited houses in good order or slightly damaged condition are on no account to be demolished. Strict disciplinary measures will be taken to enforce this order. (c) Debris of houses in ruins may be removed whenever possible. (d) The following procedure will be carried out for the removal of brick and rubble, etc., in the evacuated area: 1. Units will indent on the Commanding Officer, 102d Engineers, for the number of loads required. * 2. A requisition note will be made out on A. B. 303, in duplicate, and signed by the Commanding Officer, Engineers, or his representative, stating: ; I. Quantity of material to be taken. II. Purpose for which it is required. 3. The requisition note on A. B. 303, in dupficate, will be handed by the unit to the area commandant concerned, who will point out the brick, etc., to be removed, and in- variably state on the requisition note the following particulars: I. Nature and condition of material taken. II. If possible, name of owner of building. III. The map reference and, if possible, the name of commune. 664 The original and duplicate copies of A. B. 303 will be countersigned by area commandants concerned and sent to the Belgian Mission XIX Corps who are arranging to forward the duplicate copy to the central requisition office base. 4. EXTRA PROPERTY. Movement of such material as overcoats, extra blankets, etc., of organizations named will be made by means of their animal-drawn transport. 5. MAIL, (a) The field post office and its personnel, now situated at headquarters of the 53d Infantry Brigade, will be moved to Dump "D" (advance ration refilling point) at Q.5.b.5.6. The officer in charge of this dump will be responsible for the rationing and quartering of the postal personnel and will select a suitable place for the post office. Should the dump be moved at any time, he will move the personnel and equipment of the post office. The Com- manding Officer, 53d Infantry Brigade, Headquarters Detachment, will continue to be respon- sible for the pay and equipment of this postal detachment. This post office will be In operation at the new location July 28th, and will serve the following units until further notice: 105th Infantry. 107th Infantry (less Machine Gun Company). 104th Machine Gun Battalion. 105th Machine Gun Battalion. 106th Machine Gun Battalion. Other units of the Division will be served through the same post office as heretofore, with the exception of the 53d Infantry Brigade Headquarters, which will be served by the Division Headquarters Post Office. If it should at any time be impracticable to send the designated mail orderly the non- commissioned officer in charge of drawing the rations for the headquarters of a regiment or separate imit will collect the incoming mail from the post office and carry the outgoing mail to the post office, signing for all registered matter and attending to its proper disposition. Mail orderlies may be conveyed to and from post office by the same transport as carries the rations. (b) Under instructions from II Corps, American Expeditionary Forces, dated July 20th and July 25th, letters will be addressed to members of this command, giving the rank, company, organization and arm of the service. The words "American Expeditionary Forces" must be added to the address. Henceforth the post office number should be added if known. That of this division is A. P. O. 748. Under no circumstances should Stations A, B or C, or the letters B. E. F. be used, as this causes mail to be missent from New York. The use of A. P. O., or unit designations on envelopes of outgoing mail is prohibited. Sub-paragraph 2, paragraph II, Orders 6, Headquarters 27th Division, is rescinded. 6. DISPOSAL OF MANURE. Manure must be removed into fields or to ground out- side encampments and treated as follows: (a) Pack the manure tightly as it is stacked, slapping down each spadeful, treading, or otherwise making sure that it forms a compact mass right through. The stack will then heat up strongly and become unsuitable for maggots to live in. Regular heaps ten feet square and five feet high are a suitable size, the sides of which should be smooth and sloping. (b) Spray or sprinkle thoroughly each day's addition to the stack with a 5 per cent, solu- tion of Cresol, in water (a gallon per square yard); also spray the ground for at least two feet around the manure heap. (c) Cover the stack at top and sides, as these are finished, with six inches of earth and slap it down firmly with a spade. When the stack is completed cover the last side with earth. Old heaps of manure should be left alone — afresh manure will not be added to them. BY COMMAND OF MAJOR GENERAL O'RYAN: STANLEY H. FORD, Lieutenant Colonel, G. S., Chief of Staff.

Corrugated iron will be employed for such purposes. 3. INTERRUPTION TO LIGHT RAILWAY TRAFFIC— (a) Breakages of the Light Railway Line owirig to hostile shelling, derailment or any other interference with the running way, while causing a certain amount of unavoidable delay, should not mean failure in delivery of consignments of ammunition to the forward area. (b) In the event of it being impossible for a train to reach a group station, ammunition should be off-loaded where the break is and pack-horses or wagons brought to that point to carry the ammunition to its destination. The location and circumstance of a break will be reported immediately by the guide on the train to the officer in charge of the loading party at the group station. (c) It should seldom be necessary to return a consignment. The responsibility for so doing will rest upon the officer in charge of the loading party at the group station. 4. TENTAGE. — Commanding officers will report by noon, August 1st, the number of tents required as shelter for units of their command. This should be given by numbers of officers and enlisted separately. Report should also show the number of tents now in use by units and the sources from which obtained. On receipt of this information. Corps Headquarters will be advised and tents delivered to area commandants for distribution to units concerned. It will be noted that tents are area stores and in the event of a move to another area, will be turned in to area commandant from whom drawn, and receipt taken therefor. Tents not already stained when issued will be cutched before pitching, and when set will be widely distributed in localities hidden by trees, etc., from aerial observation. 5. USE OF STRAW. — In view of the shortage of forage, and the recent reduction in the ration, it has been decided that, in future, straw will not be issued for stuffing sacks for bayonet fighting purposes. Straw is not essential for this purpose, and many substitutes can be found in the way of rushes, leaves, wood shavings, etc. 6. LOST. — On July 15th, on route from Lovie (27/F. 16.) to Cassel, one pair of Ross, six-power prism binoculars, in a brown leather case with sling. Name J. D. Belgrave stamped on case.

EXTRACTS FROM GENERAL HEADQUARTERS SUMMARY German Discipline A secret order of May 18, 1918, signed "von Tschischwitz," Chief of Staff, 2d German Army, runs as follows : "It has recently become known that, on March 24th, our troops shot down one of our own contact patrol machines at Clery and secretly buried the dead occupants. "An official inquiry has been arranged. "Should one of our airmen by an unfortunate mistake attack our own troops, the troops in question should make known their identity by sending up a white signal rocket and report the matter as soon as possible. "Such a procedure as that described above is unworthy of the German army. "The episode must be used as an object for instruction, and it should at the same time be explained that contact patrols in the attack have to open fire upon the enemy's lines while they are still over their own troops. This may produce a mistaken idea among the troops that they are themselves being fired upon." Shortage of Artillery Horses The following is the translation of a captured German document : Crown Prince Rupprecht's Group op Armies. Art. No. 48403 Army Headquarters, April 18, 1918. To ith, 6th, 1 7th and 2d Armies According to a communication received from General Headquarters, whole regiments or independent Abteilungen of divisional or army field artillery are said to have had their horses taken away from them in order to replace casualties, without the matter being referred to higher authority. This procedure is forbidden and is equivalent to breaking up the unit concerned. See also Army Group Order laf. No. 5413, secret, dated March 25, 1918. General Headquarters is not in a position to bring these regiments and Abteilunger up to strength again in horses. Should the Quartermaster General, in conformity with General Headquarters Ic. No. 83041 op. of April 15, 1918 (Army Group Order No. 48150 of April 16, 1918) be unable fully to comply with the demands for horses submitted, a readjustment must be carried out within the field artillery regiment, a part being made mobile at the expense of the rest, which must lose its horses and be left behind; for instance, batteries will horse only three or even two guns and four wagons. 660 A return will be rendered stating whether, and, if so, in which field artillery regiments or independent Abteilungen the procedure mentioned at the outset has been ordered. (Signed) VONKUHL. Note. — The 2d Army rendered a nil return to the above; the returns of other armies are not shown. Translations op Captured German Documents (Prom General Headquarters Summary) C. G. S. OF THE Field Army, Ic. Nr. 6326, Secret op. General Headquarters, February 2, 1918. Reports are constantly reaching me that officers on leave give voice to utterances which are calculated to awaken feelings of doubt as to the preparedness of the army for battle. For instance, I am informed that one officer spread the story broadcast in Berlin that an offensive in the west was out of the question, owing to shortage of horses and oats. The duty of reticence in regard to matters connected with the service applies not merely to the mentioning of units, movements, etc., but even to general questions bearing on the war. The spreading of such reports usually has its origin in the desire to appear important, a feeling bound up with personal vanity. The authors forget that, in giving way to an unmanly weakness, they are sacrificing the important interests of their country, and causing injury to the conduct of the war, which in some circumstances is immeasurably great. Such conduct cannot be censured strongly enough. I ask all superior officers, especially regimental commanders, to exercise an influence over officers and men in this connection. (Signed) LUDENDORFF. 217th Reserve Infantry Regiment B. W. 41018 February 17, 1918. PERSONAL Ref. C. G. S. of the Field Army, February 2, 1918, Ic. 6S26. Secret op. The purport of the above-mentioned order, which must only pass through the hands of officers, is to be conveyed to the troops in convenient form by means of instruction framed to meet the end in view. The harm caused by the inexcusable desire to be the purveyor of news is often very great. Officers returning from leave or special duty must avoid spreading unfavorable rumors of any kind. It is a remarkable fact that they seldom bring with them any news of an uncouraging nature. If incorrect statements are made, it is better to " color with a rosy hue " than to "paint things black." Not long ago, an officer, an official, and several N. C. O'S. and men spread a rumor, without testing its accuracy — which was calculated to do grave injury to the good name of the men of our regiment. I can only condemn this conduct in the strongest terms. Officers and officials, in particular, should avoid such actions. (Signed) JAROTSKY. Effect op Our Air Operations (From General Headquarters, Summary) (a) A prisoner of the 13th Protective Flight, then at Hellenes (southwest of Lille), states that, as a result of a low daylight bombing raid on Lomme aerodrome on August 17th, seventeen Fokker biplane scouts were completely destroyed. Note. — Lomme aerodrome was attacked on the date given. (6) Prisoners of the 4th Division, captured on the Hazebrouck front on the 18th inst., were able to give information as to the results of the daylight raid on Tournai station, carried out by the R. A. F. on the 7th inst. Several direct hits were secured on warehouses adjoining the good station, and a canal bridge near the station was also hit and partly destroyed. The casualties are stated to have amounted to twenty-two Germans killed and about thirty wounded. (c) Prisoners have now confirmed an earlier report from another source that the Army Group Headquarters of Crown Prince Rupprecht, situated in Tournai, were damaged during a bombing raid by the R. A. F.; this is thought to have occurred on July 10th, and it appears that the casualties included a general (of pioneers) and a staff captain. (d) A bombing attack on Tournai, carried out by the R. A. F. during the early part of May (probably the 3d or 9th), resulted in casualties being caused to a field bakery column stationed at Blandain, northwest of the town. According to prisoners, these amounted to tv/enty Germans killed, ten wounded, and four'horses killed. (e) Prisoners of the 23d Infantry Regiment (12th Division — in line opposite Merris) state that they lost two killed and six wounded while coming up into support on the night of August 13th-14th. One of our machines dropped a flare, which disclosed this movement, and followed it up with four bombs. Extracts from a Captured Document (From Army Summary) A document dated August 16, 1918, probably emanating from a battalion of the 4tli or 12tli Division, states : "Prisoners are required. Ambush patrols in the strength of about eight men and one light machine gun will push out beyond the outpost line and take cover in shell holes. On the approach of a hostile patrol, let the enemy come through and then attack from the rear and flank and take prisoners. "The usual report — 'Hostile patrol repulsed by machine-gun fire and bombs' — ^is not sufficient. We must capture prisoners." (Annexe to 2d Army Summary of August 14, 1918.) Captured Order (From General Headquarters Summary) The following order issued by Ludendorff emphasizes the importance attached by the enemy to strict signal discipline: C. G. S. OF THE Field Army. la/Ic Nr. 5798 op. General Headquarters, December 12, 1917. From a map issued by the British InteUigence Service, captured at Cambrai, it appears that the enemy was completely informed regarding the distribution of our forces in the line and the divisions which had been withdrawn. On the other hand, he was almost completely in the dark regarding the divisions newly brought into back areas of the army. Judging by the military situation at that time, it is to be supposed that the enemy obtained part of his information from prisoners' statements. The larger part, however, he undoubtedly obtained from his Intercepting Service. The opinion has been repeatedly expressed by the troops that the enemy, during major operations, would not be able to make use of his Intercepting Service. This opinion must be vigorously combated. The enemy, and particularly the British, installs his mobile intercepting stations even under the most difficult conditions. The fact that our signal discipline frequently is completely wanting, particularly on battle fronts, plays directly into the hands of the enemy's Intelligence. The fighting troops must understand the necessity for this discipline, otherwise there is grave danger that the enemy will prematurely learn our intentions, which are calculated on surprise, and will be able to take counter-measures accordingly. (Signed) LUDENDORFF. 662 (Annexe to 2d Army Summary of August 19, 1918.) German Artillery Tactics The following is an extract from a captured document, issued on May 30, 1918, by the 29th Artillery Command (108th Division) : "Counter-battery work is only profitable when the enemy's detachments are actually serving their guns. During a long battle, when the enemy is obliged to fight his guns and to replenish ammunition, destructive fire (as well as gas concentrations) is to a certain extent effective. A hostile battery will be far more damaged by a short, sharp, accurate concentration than by continuous and deliberate fire for effect, during which the personnel has time either to leave the position or to take refuge in dug-outs. "The enemy's counter-battery work has recently given proofs of this; for example, a short concentration of twenty rounds, directed against one of the heavier howitzer batteries of the division, put out of action three of its pieces, three men were wounded and an ammunition ■ dump was destroyed. On the other hand, a deliberate shot directed against another battery had no effect, although 1,500 rounds were expended and the shooting was good. "It is therefore proposed, by the aid of aeroplanes, survey sections and balloons, to carry out ranging on a definite system whereby our own batteries are to register one hostile battery. Should any hostile battery of that type then become troublesome (or for other reasons), we can at once concentrate the fire (H. E. or gas) of several of our own batteries on the battery registered. For the rapid execution of this order, it is essential that the telephone system of the survey sections and balloons be constructed of better material than is now available. "Traffic centers, camps, rest billets, etc., must be registered in the same way, with the help of observation groups, balloons and aeroplanes, so that at any moment well-directed concentrations can be put down on them. Until batteries are registered, concentrations must be carried out by map shooting. Against points which the enemy must constantly use, per- sistent, harassing fire with single rounds is considered very useful. "Fleeting targets and other remunerative targets are to be engaged by batteries inde- pendently." [S.S.737.] Ia/54182. TRANSLATION OF A GERMAN DOCUMENT Wytschaete Group, July, 1918. Section Ic. INSTRUCTIONS AND RULES OF GUIDANCE FOR THE CONDUCT OF EVERY GERMAN SOLDIER WHO IS TAKEN PRISONER (Not to be taken into the Front Line.) To be issued to the Rank and File by Companiefs for perusal, then collected again and filed by Regimental Staffs for occa- sional re-issue and collection For a man to allow himself to be taken prisoner by the enemy without having defended himself to the utmost is a dishonourable act equivalent to treachery. Capture at the hands of our inhuman foes, in view of their unexampled brutality of treatment, which is now proved beyond question in so large a number of cases, merely means being slowly tortured to death. 663 Should, however, a man be captured in spite of all his bravery and without its being his fault, even then the soldier still has sacred duties towards his comrades, towards his Commander-in-Chief to whom he took the oath of fealty, and towards his country. It is an easy duty for him to fulfil; he has only to preserve in his captivity the same courage which he has so often shown in the face of the enemy. The first thing suggested to .prisoners in the enemy's camp, after their confidence has been gained by stimulating drinks and the best of fare, is nothing less than the betrayal of their country. Afterwards, when the object is attained, follows the usual meagre prisoners' fare and hard work, with the most brutal treat- ment. A prisoner is submitted to an examination, in which, by cleverly framed questions, insincere promises, or even by threats of every kind, attempts are made to cause him to give away military secrets, such as the order of battle, the strength with which a front is held, intentions and plans for attack, measures for defence, concentrations or movements of troops, the exact condition of his own unit, strength of units, events taking place behind the front and in Germany, rest billets of his comrades and other matters. It is regrettable that this war has provided many instances where the statements of a man without honour, which unfortunately have often been only too accurate, have been proved to have had disastrous effects for his own comrades. How many brave soldiers have lost their lives through this cause? The success of our attacks and enterprises is also imperilled in this way, and the successful issue of the war may thus be to a great extent jeopardized, and the whole Fatherland receive the gravest injury. It is just now, at the decisive point of the final struggle, that every soldier must feel more than ever the shame and infamy of such unprincipled conduct. Again and again do prisoners captured by us give confirmation of the fact that those German soldiers, no matter to which State they belong, who allow themselves to be pressed under examination into making all kinds of statements, in the idea that they will receive better treatment, have had afterwards a much harder time than those who refused to say anything. For even among our enemies, the soldier who consciously betrays his country and puts his own comrades in danger ranks as a man without honour. On the other hand, even the enemy invariably respects the German soldier who remmns steadfast and refuses to make statements, even in the face of threats, or by a clever answer makes from the start all further questioning useless. Thus, Private Wiegand, of the 3rd Company, 60th Infantry Regiment, who pleaded his soldier's oath and refused to make any statements, received full recognition in the Army Orders of the enemy.* *NOTB BY G.S.I.— Further reference to this incident is contained in the following extract from an order issued by the Second German Army on 16-4-18: — "2. Amongst the documents captured from the enemy, there is a report, dated 10th 664 August, 1917, of the examination of Private Wiegand, 3rd Company, 60th Infantry Regiment, 121st Division, which, literally translated, runs as follows: ' The prisoner, a Roman Catholic, stated that on entering the German Army he had taken an oath that, in the event of his being taken prisoner, he would give no information of any kind whatsoever which might endanger the safety of his comrades. His attitude commanded respect and is completely in accordance with the best traditions of military honour. As a matter of fact, no information of any kind could be obtained from the prisoner, who is 19 years of age.' "This splendid example of soldierly conduct under imprisonment should be published to the troops, especially as several other records, also captured from the enemy, concerning the examination of German prisoners, contain precisely such statements (e. g., as to billets for troops, battle H.Q., communication trenches, etc.) which are calculated to endanger the lives of comrades in a high degree. "In view of the above-cited example, it should be continuously impressed upon troops that under examination only the name, and nothing further, need be given to the enemy, and that a prisoner who declines to make any further statement not only does not render his fate worse, but on the contrary exacts respect from the enemy." [p.T.o. If questions are asked about military or other dangerous subjects, there are many answers by which a man can escape further questions or at any rate parry them, e.g.: — "Only joined the unit a few days ago as a reinforcement." "Just back from leave." "Have been sick in quarters, or have just come out of hospital a few days ago and therefore have no information." "Was on special duty (forestry, collieries, road construction, production of trench materials, etc.) ." "Accommodation under canvas in a wood, the name and exact location of which I cannot give. Have observed nothing there. Have seen no other troops beyond men of the detachment, or any artillery positions; have seen no transport to or from batteries or single guns, or movements of troops." If further questions are asked, always repeat the same answer : "I was not there" : "I do not know" : "Am not acquainted with the sector" : "Do not know the flanking units": "Have seen no artillery, as visiting artillery positions is strictly forbidden": "Do not know the positions of sentries or machine guns, or their number" : "Know of no plans for attack" : "Know nothing of the relief of the Division" : "Do not know the lines of approach to and departure from the position, as I went in at night": "No work of any consequence in progress in the trenches or behind the front" : "Trenches, rations and moral good." It is naturally no less important to be circumspect in conversation with countrymen or fellow-prisoners in the camp later on, and not to tell them the opposite story to that told shortly before at the cross-examination. Never forget that a prisoner is subject to continual observation and eavesdropping. In many cases, he is even pumped without being aware of the fact by confidential agents (his own countrymen, who have taken on themselves this despicable role). Further, it is of the greatest im- 665 portance that every soldier should burn all letters and other written com- munications immediately after he has read them; by so doing, he renders a great service to himself and to his country. Should he have any special interest in these letters, he can send them home again or tie them up in a parcel and hand them in to the company orderly room, which provides for their safe keeping. It will thus be impossible for the enemy to receive or confirm any information by means of letters, note-books, or more particularly diaries and address-books. Even long after capture, in the prisoners of war camp behind the front or in the labour camp, there are still dangers of many kinds which threaten the unwary man. Seeming comrades come up to him confidentially and induce him to relate his recent experiences, and ply him with questions ; these men are naturally acting under the enemy's orders, according to precise instructions. The seeming comrades are simply members of the enemy forces who speak good German and are put into German uniform (often even in German officer's uniform). Therefore, use the greatest caution in conversation; if you have no previous knowledge of the man in question, give him no information about military affairs, say nothing about home circumstances, and tell him none of your experiences ; your lot will not be improved by doing so. Beware of the so-called senior N.C.O.s of the camp, or of quarter- masters and such men apparently Germans, as are responsible for your comfort in camp, and receive complaints and requests. When talking in camp, dormitory or mess-room, speak only in a low voice, for walls have ears! Everywhere an apparatus is installed by which every word is heard, even through the thickest walls, and is written down and afterwards turned to account. In a word, even a prisoner must never forget that he is a German and that even he can still bear his part in helping to win victory over the enemy. A warning in conclusion. Our enemies, in their examinations of prisoners, usually record the name of the man examined; even where this is not the case, we on our side can always ascertain from the records of the platoon, company and regiment, together with the date, hour and place of capture, who the prisoner was who made the statement in question. If such an examination, containing matter damaging to us, falls into our hands, criminal pro- ceedings will invariably be instituted against the man who ha^ forgotten duty and honour; this entails in the first instance great unpleasantness for his relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, wife and child), and apart from this, after the war, the heaviest penalties for himself. There is no question of a remission of punishment or amnesty for such traitors, any more than for deserters. They and their names are branded, their home and property lost for ever! (Translation ends.) 666 Note by General Staff The above documents calls for no comment. It is obvious that the Germans, in their efforts to extract information, will apply to Allied prisoners every one of the methods against which they warn their own soldiers. This German document should be read in conjunction with G.R.O. No. 4791 and S.S. 730, "Leakage of Information through Prisoners of War."

RESERVES. — There are now nineteen Infantry Divisions, fit to fight, in reserve in the western theater, and nine of these divisions are between the sea and the Oise. HOSTILE ARTILLERY.— Usual shelling of E. Pop Line and vicinity of Abeele. Activity about normal. AIRCRAFT. — Activity below normal. No reports of bombing in our area. MISCELLANEOUS. — Enemy Intentions.- — Army Summary. From statements made by prisoners of the 4th and 12th Divisions, captured yesterday on the Hazebrouck front, there would appear to be very little indication of the enemy's intention to withdraw from this front. A few days ago the General commanding the 12th Division (Lieutenant General Lequis) addressed the troops and, after referring to the excellent record of the 12th Division in the past, exhorted them to stand fast and not yield ground to the enemy. (From the army on our right). (a) A Sergeant Major of the 189th I. R., 187th Division, captured near Neuf Berquin on the 18th instant, states under special examination that withdrawal to a line in the vicinity of Robermetz is imminent. The exact time is unknown. A screen of about forty men per battalion is to be left in the old position. (b) A Sergeant of the 392d I. R., 23d Reserve Division, captured near Paradis on the 18th instant, states under special examination that his division was to retire last night (18th- 19th) to a line on the river Lawe, near Lestrem, leaving a screen of outposts in the old position. FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS.— A large column of black smoke was seen in Steen- werck at 5 P. M. yesterday. Night reconnaissances report ten fires in Bailleul and twenty in the area south and southeast of the town between 10 P. M. and 3 a. m. The army on our right reported that a dusk reconnaissance observed a large fire and explosion at Steenwerck and fires in Bailleul, Laventie, south and east of Merville, and north of Doulieu. 668 German Instructions Regarding Secrecy (Army Summary) A captured German document entitled "Instructions Regarding Secrecy," issued on March 2, 1918, by General von Quast, commanding the 6th German Army, contains a preface, of which the following is the translation : Army Headquarters, March 2, 1918, 6th Army LS/Lg/No. 1765. Secret. 1. The more our order of battle, intentions and troop movements, prior to the coming decisive battles, remain undetermined and obscure to the enemy, the smaller will be our sacri- fices and the more certain our success. The enemy's Intelligence Service uses every con- ceivable means to get information. From the smallest facts, it may draw far-reaching con- clusions. Every soldier in the army, whether at the front or on the lines of communication, must actively cooperate in covering all our preparations with the veil of secrecy, even those which seem to be of no importance. Pinal success is dependent, in part, on the prudence of each individual man. 2. The object of the following instructions is to ensure secrecy. The necessity for them must be impressed on all ranks by careful instruction. All officers will make it their duty to see that these instructions are closely followed, and supervision will be carried out by airmen, balloon and ground observers, officers at intercepting stations, the censorship staflf, and by officers specially detailed by Army, Corps and Divisional Headquarters, and by the G. 0. C, L. of C. 3. Breaches of these instructions will be severely dealt with without respect of rank, and particulars of the offense and the punishment will be published in routine orders. Such offenses will be treated as "disobedience of orders"; they will not, therefore, be punishable by death or the severest form of imprisonment, as in the case of "treachery or "betrayal" of military secrets." In cases where such offenses may have disastrous results, a sentence of three years may be awarded, but where disastrous results are actually occasioned, imprisonment for life may be awarded.

First Lieutenant, 108th Infantry, D.I.O. 27th DIVISION SUMMARY For Week ending 6 a. m., 26th August HOSTILE ARTILLERY. — The enemy have been fairly active during the week. A heavy harassing fire on our front system was put down, so he is still rather nervous of an offensive on this front. Minor operations by the division on our right may have also influenced his shelling to some extent. The usual places were shelled during the week, which include Artillery Farm, Hallebast Corners, Dickebusch, Millekruisse, Milky Way, Scottfsh and English Woods, St. Hubertushoek-Hallebast Road, Hallebast- Vierstraat Road. GAS. — There has also been a marked increase in the use of gas during the latter part of the week. 7.7. cm. Green Cross have been especially a tive on H.35.a.4.9., Scottish Wood and N.3.b.3.6. 10.5 cm. Green Cross shelled N.2.b., H.32.d. A heavy concentration of Blue and Green Cross mixed with H. E. was fired into the drea enclosed by H.32.d.5.6., H.33.C.5.5., N.2.C., on the night of 26th-27th August. At the same time, all calibers up to 15 cm. were employed on N.8.b.-N.3.d. BARRAGES. — On the night of 19th-20th, enemy put down a heavy barrage on the front of the division on our right, extending to our front, especially heavy on N.9.a.-N.8.b.-Mille- kruisse. The night of 20th-21st the enemy shelled the division on our right; at the same time 10.5.cm. Howitzers were active on H.35.d. and N. to D. At 10:30 P. M., night of 21st-22d, light barrage was put down along the Vyverbeek Valley; at 5 A. M. on the same night, another light barrage was put down along the valley which runs in front of Scherpenberg-Dickebusch Lake line. MOVEMENT. — During the week a great deal of movement was seen opposite this divi- sional front, but to a great extent was confined to individual movements. Considerable move- ment was reported along Cheapside Road, especially at N.5.C.75.60. This movement was seen 671 mostly on the night of the 25th. It might have been a relief taking post. The usual movement around crater in N.24.C. was also noticed. Considerable movement was also seen on the right between Wytschaete-St. Eloi going in the direction of Wytschaete. In the forward area indi- viduals have been seen all along the line, in the majority of cases observing our trenches. In one or two cases officers have been seen with men. WORK. — Very little work has been observed during the past week. No work of any special importance has been reported. At O.lS.a.l.l. to 0.13.a.2.6. fresh earth was seen around a line of white tape. It was apparently a new trench being dug. M. G's. — M. G's have been located at the following places: N.5.h.85.10. N.5.d.6.0. N.6.a.75.80. N.9.d.95.30. N.ll.a.85.90. N.15.a.61.43. N.15.a.78.53. N.15.b.l0.30. N.15.b.3.7. N.15.b.25.65. N.15.b.75.95. H.36.d.5.0. T. M's. — T. M's have been located at N.lO.b.92.81. and at Siege Farm. A dart machine gun was located at N.16.a.28.82. MISCELLANEOUS. — During the week it was reported that a dump exploded at about N.22.d. This may be one of the larger dumps in the vicinity of N.22. GENERAL ATTITUDE. — The enemy appears to be rather nervous and continually on the alert, sending up frequent S. O. S. calls along the line. BY COMMAND OF MAJOR GENERAL O'RYAN: STANLEY H. FORD, Chief of Staff. By: A. B. PETERSON, First Lieutenant 108th Infantry, D.I.O. NEWS REPORT August 27, 1918.

AIR COMMUNIQUE. — On Saturday, seven hostile aeroplanes were driven down by us, and five German balloons were shot down in flames. Ten of our own machines are missing. During the twenty-four hours we dropped forty-three tons of bombs, Valenciennes and Cambrai Railway connections being attacked among other targets. All our night-flying aeroplanes returned safely. We succeeded in destroying two enemy night-bombing machines. Our machines successfully attacked a hostile aerodrome and the railway stations at Bet- temburg and Luxemburg. Excellent results were obtained on the railroad stations. A Turkish official communique states: "Two enemy air squadrons attacked Constantinople on Wednesday night." GENERAL NEWS.— Unofficial advices state that Germany, in reply to Spain's note protesting against the destruction of Spanish merchant ships by U-boats, will construe the note as an unfriendly act. Moscow dispatches announce that anti-Bolshevik sentiment is growing. Letters from the Eastern States to the front-line trenches in seventeen days — this is a promise from Congressman Isaac Siegel, who has been in France the past month investigating the delays in the delivery of mail matter to American soldiers in France. Mr. Newton D. Baker, the Secretary of War, has received a cablegram from General Pershing announcing that since the commencement of August a squadron of eighteen aero- planes of a new type and provided with Liberty motors has succeeded in effecting several suc- cessful reconnoitering expeditions over the rear of the German lines. Senator Jacob H. Gallinger has died in hospital at Franklin, N. H., after an illness of several weeks, due to a compKcation of diseases, at the age of eighty-one. He was the oldest member of the Senate. GENERAL STAFF.— (InteUigence.) HEADQUARTERS, 27th DIVISION American Expeditionary Forces August 30, 1918.

TO BE DESTROYED WHEN FINISHED WITH 27th division daily SUMMARY OF INTELLIGENCE No. 9 From 6 A. M., Augv^t 30th, to 6 A. M., September 1st OPERATIONS. — Information having been received that the enemy was about to retire from the Ypres salient, patrols were pushed forward during the morning until objectives on a line approximately Rossignol Wood, Vierstraat, N.5.a.0.5. All objectives were reached. Twenty-three prisoners passed through division cage. In addition, two O. R., wounded, were evacuated through R. A. S., one having died since.

R. were from the 8th Company and stated that orders for with- drawal were given three days ago; that the withdrawal would extend back to good sound ground on Messines Ridge where entrenchments were being prepared. Prisoners further state that it is generally understood that Kemmel had been mined in anticipation of our occupancy. Prisoners of the 459th I. R. belong to the 6th Company. State that company has been in line for three days and expect relief in about three days more. It has been expected that the division would be relieved. Prisoners stated they did not know by what division relief would be made, although one prisoner stated he understood the trenches would be taken over by Bavarians. Prisoners all agreed that the strength of company was about forty men. Further stated that orders for withdrawal have been treated with unusual secrecy. One prisoner stated reason for withdrawal was that they were too weak to hold the line as it was at present. Left boundary of division was said to be at Voormezeele and right boundary of the regiment was at Xillebeke Lake. Prisoners confirmed order of battle from south to north: 459th I. R., 458th I. R., 457th I. R. 675 Prisoners of 93d I. R. confirm the statement that order of withdrawal was given about three days ago and that M. G. groups were to be left forward as screens and that withdrawal would be to the first heights back of Mt. Kemmel. One wounded prisoner of 93d I. R. was told by a Lieutenant of his company that there would be a retirement to Messines, this information also having appeared in a division order. He claims that a quantity of M. G.'s — at least thirty he knew of personally — would hold Wytschaete Ridge while the main body retired. He siated emplacements had already been constructed. These prisoners also said that Bavarians are still in back of them. SELF-LOADING PISTOLS.— A prisoner of the 459th I. R. states that in each M. G. group there were eight men, and two members who did the sighting and firing, carry Selsb- stladepistolen (self-loading pistols), carrying thirty-eight shots, while the others and ammunition carriers attached, carry carbines instead of rifles.

Attention is drawn to the practice of the enemy, when making an organized with- drawal, of leaving certain positions, dug-outs, dumps, etc., mined, the firing arrange- ments being such that the charges are exploded after the position has been occupied by our own troops {see S.S. 163, "Hints on Reconnaissance for Mines, etc.") , 677 2. LIKELY TRAPS. The following should be regarded with special suspicion until investigation has been carried out by experts: Attractively furnished dug-outs. Dug-outs under roads. Single houses left standing when others have been destroyed. All new work, or new trench or other equipment, in the midst of weather-worn ground or articles, e. g., recently disturbed soil, new metalling, new trench boards. Souvenirs, such as helmets, shells, badges and bayonets, left in conspicuous positions. Articles sticking in the ground, such as stick grenades or shovels. 3. METHODS OF FIRING. German traps and mines may be classified under the following headings according to the nature of their firing arrangements. (a) Delay action fuzes. — ^The action of these fuzes depends on the eating away of a wire by a corrosive solution. The "delay" may be any time up to one month. Two patterns are known: — (i.) Automatic detonating device. — This device differs from any other German fuze and can be easily identified. It is employed with bulk charges and placed in the explosive. For description see S.S. 733, "German Automatic Detonating Device." (ii.) 1917 long delay action fuze. — This is a counterfeit 1904 pattern German gun fuze and can only be identified by the fact that the gaine is painted red, but when screwed into a shell is indistinguishable from the ordinary fuze. For descrip- tion see S.S. 732, "1917 German Long Delay Action Fuze for Demolition Purposes." It is primarily intended for destroying guns and ammunition. The 1904 fuze is principally used with 10-cm., 13-cm. and 15-cm. gun shell and with 15-cm. and 21-cm. howitzer shell. It is not used with any field artillery shell (see S.S. 306, "Notes on German Fuzes," page 68). These fuzes are absolutely silent and require no connections outside the charge. New work or signs of the ground having been disturbed will probably be the only indi- cations of their presence. (6) Clockwork devices. — These are of complicated manufacture and will probably be rarely met with. They may possibly be discovered by the ticking. (c) Percussion devices. — The percussion device may be set in action by treading or pressing on a board hidden under earth or by pressing against a railing, etc., when a safety pin vsrill be withdrawn, releasing the spring of a spring lighter, or a striker may be driven into a detonator. (d) Electrical devices. — Electrical devices depend on a pull on a wire or pressure on some article completing a contact. (e) Mines fired electrically from a distance. — This method is chiefiy applicable to bridges and billets used as H.Q.s, vsrhere telephone wires can be utilized for the firing circuit. These mines can be fired at will by the enemy at any moment so long as the wires remain uncut. As a rule, suspicious wires should be cut at once, but care must be taken not to cut taut wires (these may be found mixed up with slack telephone wires), as they may be simply supporting a weight, which, if the wire is severed, will drop on and ignite a detonator. Wires, if cut, should not be pulled out, but the cut ends should be turned away from each other and carefully marked, both ends of each wire alike, so that experts when they arrive can investigate, trace and remove the charge. 1. Dug-outs. ^ TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF TRAPS. (a) A shovel stuck into the side of a dug-out between the timbers; when the shovel is removed, it pulls a wire which explodes a mine. 678 (6) A French stove with stove-pipe dismantled; one wire attached to leg of stove and the other to stove-pipe near by. When the stove-pipe is picked up, a mine is fired. (c) A charge of 2,000 lbs. Perdite in a seemingly dead end of the gallery of a dug- out and connected td ordinary telephone wires. Face of the gallery made up to look like undisturbed ground with pick- marks on it. (d) A window weight suspended by fine cord stretched across the entrance of a dug-out. On a man entering, the cord would be broken and the weight fall into a box of detonators connected to a charge of explosive. (e) Cap badges, artificial fiowers, bits of evergreen, pieces of shell and other articles likely to be picked up as "souvenirs," left in dug-outs and attached to charges. (/) Hand rails on the steps of dug-outs attached by vdres to a charge. (g) One of the timbers on the side of the staircase of a dug-out was noticed to be projecting slightly inwards at the top, though it was in place at the bottom. A nail had been driven through its lower end, the point of which was placed against the cap of the cartridge, which had a charge of explosive behind it. Thus, if driven home, the nail would have struck the cap and exploded the charge. (h) In dug-outs constructed with casing, mortice and tenon jointed, the position of the charge is sometimes indicated by the wedging of the timber where the sides have been cut and removed. (i) A dozen stick grenades to be fired by means of a wire attached to a sandbag, which has to be moved before the door of a dug-out can be opened. (j) Charge in a chimney, with length of fuze attached, which would be ignited if a fire were lighted. (k) Detonators in lumps of coal. (I) Book on table, with wire down leg of table. Charge would fire if book were lifted. (m) A blown-in entrance to a dug-out is not always a safety sign. Charges may be concealed in the unblovim portions. They are generally crudely arranged contact charges. (n) A branch placed over the entrance of a dug-out as if to conceal it; on moving the branch an explosion was caused two minutes later, the dug-out being completely destroyed. (o) A false step in the stairway of a dug-out of thin planking making contact when trodden on. 2. Trenches. (a) Hand grenades liable to explode when kicked or trodden on. (6) Trench boards (new in every case) on fire-step, which detonated grenades when trodden on. (c) Barricades interlaced with wires attached to stick grenades. (d) Hand grenades buried in a trench, with telephone wire just showing attached to the grenade. 3. Roads. (a) A cavity hollowed out under the road, leaving only the crust. An 8-inch shell placed in the cavity with a contact fuze arranged to fire at the slightest pressure. (6) An automatic box-mine, designed apparently to explode under a weight greater than that of a man, has been found on a road. The box was a few inches below the surface of the road. 4. Stables. Grenade placed in a hole in the floor of a stable and covered with a brick, the whole being concealed under straw. Any pressure on the brick causes the grenade to explode.

It was reported in line west of Fismes on 16th August, and reinforced the front at Bernafay Wood on the 27th of August. It has been continuously on this battle front since then except for one short period of fourteen days in reserve. The division has suffered heavily during this period and is thoroughly' exhausted, and an early relief is expected. The division has been recently reinforced by the 202d R. I. R., formerly 43d Reserve Division, now disbanded. 232d division. — The 232d Division is composed of men from East Prussia and Alten- stein. This division was in the line in the Chambrecy area during June and in July appeared north of Verdun. It was first identified near Clery on this battle front on August 29, 1918, and except for a period of twelve days in reserve has taken part in the fighting ever since. It has lilcewise suffered heavy losses and is undoubtedly tired and demoralized. 121st division. — This division is recruited from the Rhineland, Westphalia and Silesia. During the spring it was in the Woevre area and on May 3d was identified at Dranoutre. It remained in the Locre area till July 7th. After a period of rest it reinforced this battle front in the Rouy area. Save for one period of five days' rest, it has been involved in heavy fighting ever since, and has suffered heavy casualties. The division must be considered very exhausted. 185th DIVISION, — This division is composed of Rhinelanders, and has recently received the 258 R. I. R. (the 75th Reserve Division has been disbanded) as a reinforcement. During May of this year, it was in the Neuville-Vitresse area and was withdrawn very weak on August 2d-3d. It reinforced the battle front here on August 1 5th in the Herleville area, and except for sixteen days' rest has been continuously in the line. This division has suffered extremely heavy casualties and is too exhausted for much resistance. 75th reserve DIVISION.— This division was on the Montdidier-Noyon front and was withdrawn on 22d June. After a rest, it reappeared again at Courcelles on 3d July. It took part in the retirement from Montdidier, and with the exception of two short rests, has been continuously engaged ever since. This division must also be considered exhausted. Australian Corps — (Intelligence). September 26, 1918. TO BE DESTROYED WHEN FINISHED WITH 27th division daily SUMMARY OF INTELLIGENCE NO. 1 From 6 A.

EXHIBIT 36 (Note. — Copies of Australian orders not being available, the following orders of the II American Corps are quoted in lieu thereof, they being in effect copies of the Australian orders.) II Corps France SECRET September 24, 1918. Field Orders No. 16 Maps: 1:20,000, 62 CN. E., 62B N. W., 57C S. E., 57B S. W., Diagrammatical Sketch. 1. SITUATION. — The enemy opposite the front to be occupied by the II American Corps September 24th and 25th holds the Hindenburg Line in force. The salient feature of this line is the Cambrai-St. Quentin Canal, which runs through a tunnel from a point 1,500 yards southeast of Vendhuile to a point 1,000 yards south of Bellicourt. 699 The 4th Army will attack the Hindenburg defenses between Vendhuile and St. Quentin at an hour and on a date to be notified later. The IX Corps will attack on the right and simultaneously with the II American Corps. The III Corps will be on our left and will not attack, but will hold a defensive front between the II American Corps and the V Corps until the II American Corps has reached the green line. When the troops of the II American Corps commence their exploitation towards the dotted green line, the III Corps will mop up the ground west of the canal. 2. GENERAL PLAN. — The II American Corps afflliated with the Australian Corps will attack the enemy's position in the Hindenburg Line in the sector Nauroy-Gouy (both in- clusive) on a date and hour to be notified later. There will be a preliminary bombardment by all available artillery lasting for a considerable period. The object of this preliminary bom- bardment will be: (a) To complete the demoralization of the enemy. (b) The destruction of the enehiy's defenses, including wire, dugouts, etc. The attacks will be carried out on a frontage of two (2) divisions. The boundaries and ob- jectives of divisions are shown on the attached map. 3. (a) PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS: The present situation on the battle front is as follows: The front line is in the advanced Hindenburg Line as far north as the interdivisional boundary for the operation. North of this the front line is now along the old British outpost line. The III Corps has undertaken to make every endeavor to seize the front line of the Hin- denburg system before its relief by the 27th American Division. If it succeeds in doing this the forming-up line as shown in dotted brown on the attached map will be available. If the III Corps does not succeed in doing this it will be necessary for the 27th American Division to undertake a definite operation in order to seize the advanced line of the Hindenburg system. During the period that this operation takes place the 30th American Division will advance posts to such a position as will enable it to ensure that the forming-up line on its sector will be sufficiently protected. (b) MAIN OPERATION: The main operation will be divided into two phases as follows: (1) First Phase. The 30th American Division on the right and the 27th American Division on the left will form up on a taped line prior to the given zero hour and will attack with tanks under a creeping artillery barrage. This barrage will include a considerable propor- tion of smoke shell. The start line is shown in brown on the attached map and the objectives are shown in a continuous green line. The flanks of the attack will be protected by a smpke screen which will be provided by one field artillery brigade on each flank. As soon as the artillery barrage program is completed and the infantry have seized the objective, the green line, the smoke barrage on the flanks will lift outwards in order to enable the infantry to exploit their success toward the flanks under the concealment of the flanking smoke barrages; to the north with a view to assisting the advance of the V Corps over the canal, and to protecting the Australian Corps left in their advance to the red line; to the south with a view to assisting the IX Corps in their advance across the canal, and to protecting the Australian Corps right in their advance to the red line. 2. Second Phase. The 6th Australian Division on the right and the 3d Australian Divi- sion on the left, each with its own divisional artillery and a proportion of tanks, and organized in brigade groups, will pass through the 30th and 27th American Divisions respectively in open warfare formations at a time to be decided later. Their objective is shown in red on the attached map. In order to secure the flanks of this operation and to extend the base of the salient created by the advance, the reserve troops of the 30th and 27th American Divisions will extend their operations to the south and north respectively with the object of seizing the objectives shown in red on the attached map. A proportion of artillery, which will be allotted from the barrage guns and will be with- drawn as soon as the barrage program is completed, will be placed at the disposal of each Divi- sional Commander for this. 700 A proportion of tanks will be similarly allotted. A detailed program and time table will be issued. The troops which captured the first objectives will'be reassembled after the whole of the brigades detailed to the second objective have passed through them. The time for this reas- sembly will be notified. They will be prepared to advance eastwards on a one-division front, in touch with the Australian Corps on their right and with the'V Corps of the Third Army on their left. (c) ASSEMBLY: The line will be held prior to the operation by the 30th and 27th American Divisions, each with one regiment in the line supported by one regiment and each with one brigade in reserve. The capture of the first objective will be carried out by the reserve brigade in each case. The capture of the second objective allotted to the American divisions will be carried out by the supporting regiment of the line brigade, the line regiment of the line brigade passing into reserve at a stage which is indicated later. The program will be so arranged that the two attacking brigade groups of the 5th and 3d Australian Divisions respectively will pass through the American troops as soon as possible after the latter have attained the first objective. These two brigades will follow the regiments of the 30th and 27th American Divisions respectively allotted to the capture of the red line. The reserve brigades of the 5th and 3d Australian Divisions will then be passed through the gap. The last infantry to pass through the gap from the west to the east side of the canal will be the regiments of the 30th and 27th American Divisions who were originally holding the line and now pass into reserve. The order of movement across the tunnel will be, therefore: "A" and "B" Regiments of the 30th and 27th American Divisions (that is, the attacking brigade in each case). "C" Regiment of the 30th and 27th American Divisions (that is, the supporting regiment of the brigade originally in the line). "A" and "B" Brigades of the 5th and 3d Australian Divisions. "C" Brigade of the 5th and 3d Australian Divisions moving in divisional reserve. "D" Regiment of the 30th and 27th American Divisions (that is, the regiment which was holding the line when the attack began). This regiment will be concentrated immediately the last Australian brigade has passed through and will then move according to the orders of the respective Divisional Commanders. (See diagrammatical sketch enclosed.) Assembly areas will be selected and allotted for each American regiment and each Aus- tralian brigade in such position as" will best permit of this order of movement being carried out. (d) ROAD MOVEMENT: The country over which the attack will pass in its early stages is very much shell-pitted and all roads have been very badly damaged. To enable guns and ammunition wagons and the armored cars to pass across this area the Chief Engineer of the corps has arranged to develop four roads as rapidly as possible. The Chief Engineer of the Australian Corps will have at his disposal the five Australian Pioneers Battalions plus such proportion of the American engineering personnel as may be neces- sary. Every body of troops will be allotted its own definite road and will on no account use any other. Maps will be issued later showing the roads allotted in each case. Careful traffic control will be organized and all ranks must be warned beforehand and must be prepared to adhere to the traffic rules strictly. The bivouac areas will be selected in positions which will be convenient to the roads to which each body of troops is allotted.

(II) Success signal, which will be a No. 32 rifle grenade bursting into three white lights. (III) Message-carrying rockets will be made available and will be issued early. (b) All ranks will be provided with a metal disc sewn on the reverse side of the box respirator, which will be used for signaling to our aeroplanes when they sound the Klaxon horn, to indicate the position of the troops. Red flares will be issued and will be lit for the same purpose when the aeroplane calls. All ranks must be made to understand that when the aeroplane calls the flares must be lit and the discs shown. (c) The organization of the troops for the first phase of the operation will ensure that definite bodies are allotted for duty at each entrance to the tunnel with the object of dealing with any of the enemy who may have taken refuge in the tunnel during the bombardment and barrage. These troops must on no account be withdrawn from their tasks until the tunnel is completely clear of the enemy. (d) All troops must be warned of the absolute necessity of keeping as close up to the barrage as safety permits in order to deal with the enemy before he can recover after the bar- rage has passed. (e) A very liberal supply of (I) Operation map (II) Message maps (III Oblique and trench photos will be issued. All commanders must ensure that these are distributed right down to non-commissioned officers in order that the achievement of their task may be facilitated for all ranks. Special instructions as to Intelligence functions dealing with prisoners of war, etc., will be issued. (f ) A complete system of liaison between flanks and from front to rear between companies, battalions, regiments and brigades and divisions will be worked out. The responsibility for liaison and for communications will be from right to left. (g) A series of code calls for employment between infantry using the Popham panel and contact aeroplanes will be made and issued by Australian Corps.

Corps is responsible for delivery of ammunition to the divisional dump; division is responsible for the delivery of ammunition to regimental dumps; regiments are responsible for the delivery of ammunition to battalion dumps; and, likewise, the larger units are always responsible for the delivery of ammunition to the next smaller one. It is to be clearly under- stood that the responsibility of the higher unit terminates upon the delivery of the ammunition to the immediate subordinate unit. 3. While it should never be necessary for the troops in the front line to go to the rear for ammunition, yet the battalion is responsible for the maintenance of proper liaison with the regiment and the regiment is responsible for the maintenance of liaison with the division dump. This is absolutely necessary because, while the higher unit is responsible for delivery to the next lower unit, yet the lower unit is responsible for making the request and stating the locality at which the requesting unit desires the said ammunition placed. 4. For the purpose of conveying ammunition from regimental dumps to battalions in the lines, four L. G. S. wagons per battalion will be detailed by O. C. 4th Australian Division, S. A. A. Section, and will be located at their respective regimental dumps and will come under the orders of the Regimental Officer in charge of such dumps. 5. All grenades will be detonated at divisional dumps. Stokes mortar ammunition will be detonated under R. E. arrangement. 6. Captain R. T. Moniz will be in charge of the division ammunition dump, which is at present located at Sheet 620, E.28.d.2.0. near Villers Faucon. 7. All messages for the Division Ammunition Officer will reach him at the division am- munition dump; in case of breach of communication with this dump, messages should be sent to Division Headquarters. The Division Ammunition Officer will be kept advised of the loca- tion of all regimental and battalion ammunition dumps at all times. 27th DIVISION. Appendix B, Order No. 93 September 25, 1918.

GENERAL OBJECT OF THE OFFENSIVE.— The II American Corps affiliated with the Australian Corps will attack in the general direction Gouy-Nauroy on a date and at an hour to be specified later. The corps will attack with two divisions (27th on the left, 30th on the right) in the sectors shown on the map attached hereto. After the penetration of the Hindenburg Line the divisions will push on to the first objective indicated by the green line on the map. The front line divisions (27th and 30th) will move forward in the given sector and capture the first objective indicated by the green line east of the Sector Gouy-Nauroy. As soon as this objective is taken by the 27th and 30th Divisions, the 3d Australian Division on the left and the 5th Australian Division on the right will immediately pass through the front line American divisions and capture the second objective, indicated by the red line. 2. GENERAL PLAN. — (a) There will be a preliminary bombardment lasting for a considerable period. The 18th British Division on the left of our corps will simultaneously attack, as far as the canal. (b) The operation will be divided into two phases, the boundaries and objectives being shown on accompanying map. Our corps will complete the first phase, the Australians the second phase. (c) First Phase. — The 54th Infantry Brigade (with part of the 53d Infantry Brigade following in rear of its left flank) will form up on a taped line prior to zero hour and, with tanks, will attack under a creeping shrapnel, H. E. and smoke barrage. On the map the start line is shown in brown and the objective in continuous green line. Upon gaining the objective, the infantry will exploit their success to the flanks under concealment of a flanking smoke barrage. As soon as the road situation permits, an armored car battalion will pass through the infantry in furtherance of special missions. (d) Second Phase. — The 3d Australian Division with its own artillery and tanks will pass through the 54th Infantry Brigade in open warfare formations at a time to be decided later. Their objective is shown in red on map. In order to secure the left flank of this operation and extend the base of the salient thus created, reserve troops of the 27th Division will extend their operations to the north to secure the objective shown in red on map. A proportion of artillery and tanks will support this movement. The 54th Infantry Brigade will be reassembled after the whole of the 3d Australian Division have passed through their line. (e) The program will be so arranged that two attacking brigade groups of the 3d Austra- lian Division will pass through the 54th Infantry Brigade as soon as possible after the latter have attained the first (green) objective. These two brigades will follow the 105th Infantry allotted to turn north and secure the left flank. The reserve brigades of the 3d Australian Division will then follow their advance brigades. The last infantry to cross the tunnel from the west to the east will be the 106th Infantry in reserve. The order of movement across the tunnel will therefore be: First — 54th Infantry Brigade. Second — 105th Infantry. Third — Attacking brigades of 3d Australian Division. Fourth — Brigade in reserve of 3d Australian Division. Fifth — 106th Infantry. This regiment will be concentrated immediately the Australian Brigade has passed through and will then move according to orders from Commanding General 27th Division. 713 3. DETAILED ORDERS FOR UNITS.— (a) 54th Brigade (less 105th Machine Gun Battalion). (1) The boundaries of the zone of action are as follows: Northern — the northern boundary of the 27th Division. Southern — the southern boundary of the 27th Division. (2) The objective to be reached is that specified in 2 (b) (as shown by green line on map). (3) The brigade will attack with regiments side by side, both regiments disposed in depth. (4) During the advance, and at a time fixed in the time table and barrage map, the barrage will pause for fifteen minutes on a line 500 yards east of and parallel to the St. Quentin Canal. This pause will facilitate mopping up, give opportunity for reorganization of the attacking units, and enable the 105th Infantry to cross the tunnel and form for attack to the north to gain its objective red line. Special mop- ping-up units detailed by the Brigade Commander and having a total strength of at least two battalions, will mop up the Hindenburg Line, canal tunnel, tunnel exits and open portion of canal. Units will be given specific missions in detail, and will remain on the general system of trenches, dugouts and entrances until all danger of attack or fire from forces in hiding is past. (5) One battalion of the 106th Infantry is detailed to the brigade for the especial purpose of aiding the mopping up referred to in preceding paragraph. The Com- manding General 53d Infantry Brigade will accordingly direct, as prearranged, one battalion, 106th Infantry, to report to the Commanding General 54th Infantry Brigade, when the 106th Infantry is relieved by the 54th Infantry Brigade. (6) The Brigade Commander will make the necessary arrangements for mop- ping-up the entire sector, allotting definite areas to special units for the purpose. (7) Upon reaching the objective (as shown by green line on map) the brigade will halt, the left regiment (107th) of the brigade extending to the left and north to dotted green line (shown on map). No consolidation of the objective line, other than for local and temporary security, will take place, and no troops will advance beyond it. (b) 53d Brigade (less 106th Machine Gun Battalion). (1) The 105th Infantry will move from its assembly area at zero hour, so con- ducting its march in approach formation as to follow the left flank of the 54th Infantry Brigade anil clear the northern exit of the canal tunnel. Upon arrival at the canal tunnel this regiment will change direction to the left and effect a deployment, dis- posed in depth in rear of that portion of the left regiment (107th) detailed for exten- sion to the dotted green line (reference, paragraph 3 (a-4). (2) At the hour prescribed in the time table (11 a. m.) the 105th Infantry will advance beyond the dotted green line to its objective, i. e., that portion of the red line, S.SO.b.central to S.14.C.0.4. (3) Upon arrival on the red line the 105th Infantry will consolidate its position and establish contact with the Australian Brigade on its right and the British Brigade on its left. All officers and men of this regiment will be cautioned to be alert to observe for the possible successful advance of the 18th British Division across the canal from Vendhuile and into the 105th sector. If British troops cross the canal as indicated, combat liaison will be promptly established with them, so that cooperative effort may result. (4) During its advance the 105th Infantry will be supported by three brigades of Field Artillery and one company of tanks. Further protection will be provided by a special smoke barrage on the northern boundary of the division. The Com- manding Officer 105th Infantry will arrange direct with the Commanding Officer Supporting Artillery and Tanks the details affecting the character and scope of their supporting action. (5) The 106th Infantry (less one battalion) will move from its assembly place at such time as will enable it to follow immediately in rear of Reserve Brigade of the Australian Corps, to a position 500 yards east of northern exit of the canal tunnel and then move according to orders of the Commanding General. 714 (c) Detachments of 102d Engineers will be detailed as follows: (1) A detachment to assist the 54th Infantry Brigade prepared to effect a crossing of the open portion of the canal. (2) A detachment to assist the tanks supporting the 105th Infantry in effecting a passage through to its objective. (d) Divisional Reserve: 106th Infantry (less one battalion). Detachment 102d Engineers. (e) Artillery (see annex to paragraph 3 (e). (f) Aeronautics (see annex to paragraph 3 (f). (g) Engineers (see annex to paragraph 3 (g). (h) Machine guns (see annex to paragraph 3 (h). (i) Cavalry (see annex to paragraph 3 (i). (j) Tanks (see annex to paragraph 3 (j). (k) Armored cars (see annex to paragraph 3 (k). (1) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: (1) The attack will begin on at hour. Time table follows: Zero — One hour assembly of all units. Zero — 54th Infantry Brigade leaves from starting trench. 105th Infantry leaves assembly area. 106th Infantry in readiness to follow Reserve Australian Brigade. Advance of troops under barrage will be shown on barrage map (to be issued). (2) The rate of march is indicated precisely by the barrage table. Leading elements will follow barrage as closely as practicable. (3) Upon reaching its objective the 54th Infantry Brigade will remain on that line until orders for relief are received from the Division Commander, at which time it will concentrate north of Catelet. The 105th Infantry will await the orders of the Division Commander on its objective. (4) Upon concentration the division will be joined later by the 30th American Division for future operation to the northeast. 4.

BROAD GAUGE RAIL-HEADS: Ammunition Tincourt Supplies Tincourt R. E. Stores Roisel Personnel La Chapelette 2. ROADS: (a) The four main roads will be developed for traffic in the corps area. These roads from right to left (south to north) are known as the "Black," "Red," "Yellow" and "Blue" Roads respectively. They will be respectively marked on the ground by signboards, painted in the same se- quence of colors. The "Blue" and "Yellow" Roads are included in boundaries of this division, as is also portion of the "Red" Road. Of these roads the "Red" and "Yellow" will probably be developed into M. T. roads. "Black" is not likely to be suitable for any but pedestrians and horse trans- port traffic. (b) The course of the roads included in 27th Division area is as follows: Reading from south to north — "Red" Road from Bellicourt diagonally across the square A.29 from southwest to northeast, with one branch to Mt. St. Martin (A.lS.d.- 0.5) and another branch across squares A.30 and B.25 to Estrees. The course of "Yellow" Road: Longavesnes, Villers Faucon, Ronssoy, F.22.a.- 8.9., F.8.a.6.3., southern limits of village at A.15.central, Mt. St. Martin (A.18. central). The course of "Blue" Road: Lieramont, northern edge Villers Faucon, E.15.- c.0.9. — F.8.a.6.3., Basse Boulogne Lempire, eastward to Guillemont Farm, A.lS.b.- central, northern edge of village at A.15. central, Le Catelet, Gouy and eastward to B.8.a.0.5. (c) It is anticipated that all roads will be suitable for the use of horse-drawn artillery as far east as the Le Catelet line by 9 A. M. on zero day. (d) Tanks will use "Yellow" Road. ' Light tanks will, whenever practicable, move close and not entirely on these roads. (e) In order to consolidate an alternative marching track for infantry the following is assignment of roads in this division area to battle troops and the order of movement in each case: "Yellow Road" "A" Regiment of 54th American Brigade — As far as start line only. Armored Car Battalion — Throughout. "A" Brigade Group of 3d Australian Division with artillery — Throughout. "Blue Road" "B" Regiriient of 54th American Brigade — As far as start line only. "B" Brigade Group of 3d Australian Division with artillery — Throughout. Reserve Brigade Group of 3d Australian Division — Throughout. "D" Regiment of 53d American Brigade — Throughout. "Red Road" No units of this division will move by "Red Road." (f) The following time table will control use of these roads by units to which allotted: 1. Units of this division have right of way and preferential use of all roads, as far east as the start line, up to zero hour on zero day. After that hour no troops of the division other than "D" Regiment are to use any of these roads. 716 2. From zero hour on zero day the above roads east of the start line will be under the exclusive control of the engineers and pioneers until 9 A. m. No traffic of any descrip- tion, other than for the service of these engineers and pioneers and urgent signal traffic, may use these roads east of the start lines going east before 9 A. M. 3. During the remainder of the zero day troops will have right of precedence on those four roads for the whole length in the following order: Between 9 A. M. and 11 A. M. — Artillery detailed to support "C" American Regi- ment, east of the line, Lempire-Hargicourt. Between 11 A. M. and 12 noon — 3d and 5th Australian Divisions, Reserve Brigade followed by "D" Regiment American Division. After 2 P. M. — Cavalry Brigade on "Red Road" only, (g) Tanks will have precedence of all other traffic on the "Yellow" Road. If the artillery detailed to support "C" American Regiment require to move east of the canal to carry out their task, they will have precedence at 9 A. M. on "Blue"Road. No M. T. or tractor-drawn artillery may use any of these roads until after 5 P. M. on zero day. One or more of these roads will be assigned for use of heavy artillery according to the situation. (h) The existing M. T. roads and M. T. circuits, Roisel, Hargicourt, Ronssoy, Villers Faucon, Longavesnes, Tincourt, are to be put in order for work on zero day. Until orders issued at a later date, M. T. will not proceed beyond above circuit. Horse transport will not use traffic circuit as above, but will use the horse transport roads and dry-weather tracks in the forward area. No horse transport other than artillery to be forward of the line Jeancourt-Hargicourt- Ronssoy-Lempire until 8 P. M. on zero day. Horse transport will use the "Red," "Yellow" and "Blue" tactical roads, but will give way in every case to the troops and artillery having priority over these roads. Horse transport roads will be indicated by a white triangular notice board bearing the black letters H. T. Motor transport roads will be indicated by a white rectangular notice board bearing the black letters M. T. 3. TRAFFIC CONTROL: The responsibility for the traffic control in this division will rest with 3d Australian Di- vision, assisted by A. P. M. and personnel of Military Police, 27th Division. Traffic posts will be double (one Australian and one American) as far east as the line Lempire-Hargicourt, beyond which traffic control will be single (Australian personnel only). Special precaution will be observed for efficient traffic control on the tactical roads ("Blue," "Yellow" and "Red"). Only forward traffic uses the roads, and empty traffic dry weather tracks alongside. Traffic instructions relating to direction of traffic on circuits, double banking and advance by H. T. of the M. T. circuit will be strictly observed and enforced. Special Regulations for traffic control on tactical roads "Blue" and "Yellow" are as follows : No traffic of any description other than urgent signal traffic will be permitted on any of these roads after 9 A. M. Roads west of the start line will be kept clear of all traffic after zero hour except for battle troops, in accordance with time table as per paragraph 2 (f). No traverse crossing of any of these roads, from north to south, or vice versa, will be permitted on zero day, except for single vehicles or single tanks of small bodies of troops. All north and south traffic must give way to, and avoid blocking, all eastbound traffic. Tanks moving east to assembly positions or moving west to rallying points must keep clear of these roads and must not cross them unless absolutely unavoidable. PART II— SUPPLIES 1.

General Orders No. 94 This division will parade on Sunday, November 10, 1918, at 10:00 A. M., south of Fouilloy, along the improved road from o.lS.b. to o.lO.b.7.0, Sheet 620. The parade will be in honor of the memory of our comrades who died in the recent series of battles. Their bodies have been buried in cemeteries organized on the fields where they fell. Their graves have been marked and appropriate religious services have been held. Nevertheless the Division Commander believes that the soldiers of the division would express by some ceremony, in which all may share, our admiration for their valor and our loyalty for their memory. It is fitting that the ceremony should be military in character, for no soldiers were ever animated by higher military ideals or were more responsive to the requirements of military discipline. No soldiers have ever possessed greater spirit of pride and confidence in their organizations. This spirit characterized their work at all times and made them prodigal with their lives in the service they rendered. Always shall we honor them. Never shall we forget their devotion and splendid courage. Detailed orders for uniforms, formation, etc., will be given later. BY COMMAND OF MAJOR GENERAL O'RYAN: STANLEY H. FORD.
