During
World War I, the city became an important unloading port of the allied troops, and particularly in the latter stages for the
United States Army. When they entered the war in 1917, they developed the town and port infrastructure, by adding additional
drinking water storage ponds for the town's
water treatment plants, and a
refrigeration terminal to the docks for shipment and storage of meat and dairy products to supply their troops.
However, the presence of
legal brothels (Maisons Tolérée) resulted in a diplomatic incident. As a result of strict reformist public health concerns at home, the
American Expeditionary Force placed the
Maisons Tolérée off limits, resulting in a dispute between the towns brothel owners backed by the mayor, versus the US Army forces. With the dispute escalating, President
Georges Clemenceau sent a memo to Gen.
John Pershing offering a compromise: American medical authorities would control designated brothels operated solely for American soldiers. Pershing passed the proposal to
Raymond Fosdick, who on giving it to
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker promptly responded:
"For God’s sake, Raymond, don’t show this to the president or he’ll stop the war." Only after the signing of the
Armistice in November 1918, when the US Army could no longer plead military necessity as grounds for curtailing leave, did
venereal disease rates among US Army troops shoot up.
