Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaves From a War Diary One day late in July, 1918, the Chief of Staff of the Ameri can Expeditionary Force at Chaumont gave me an order ad dressed to the Commanding General authorizing him to give me every assistance in the preparation of a series of magazine articles about his branch of the service. As he handed it over he said: The 'c. In C.' is making a change which you will discover when you reach Tours. Two days later I presented the order to Major General Har bord. It was the first that he received in his new capacity as chief of the Services of Supply - the army behind the army. Such was my introduction to the man whom it was my good fortune to encounter in varying and dramatic circumstances throughout these remaining months that decided the war of wars.
