BY EDWIN AWE,
LUCKY OR PLUcKY FUNSTON I
Copyrights. zsiDo0. by Americana Press
Association.


When diminutive, stub nosed, red
headed Colonel Funston brought the
Twentieth Kansas regiment to the
Preside on It's way to the Philip
pines the San Francisco people poked
fun at the country jakes7 and their
colonel.
That was during the Spanish war.
A few years later, when earthquake
and fire had devastated that city, red
headed Funston was the idol of the
Frisco people.
The doughty little brigadier faced
the most trying situation of his life.
Fully 100000 people were homeless,
disorganized, many Of them distracted
Thieves preyed. Harpies attacked the
dead bodies. The situation required
more than courage. Poise, keenness,
vigor, were needed.
Funston was equal to the emergency.
When he ordered the soldiers to
pei idle and unwilling men to work
at the point Of the bayonet he took a
great risk.
Would the war department support
him?
Yes or no, Funston shut down the lid
Of the hell that was beginning to rage
and sat upon it.
No West Point man would have
dared such thing without consulting
Washington And that is where the
volunteer officer has the advantage
II. like Funston, be has the brains to
use the opportunity.
They put another officer over Fun
ston later on-when the work was
done. But history can never rob the
little brigadier Of the supreme hour
when he saved San Francisco from
itself
Lucky Funston" they call him in
the army.
And they say he is a poser. But
how could the gallant red headed Kan
san help 1t If the correspondents pic
tured him as swimming the Bagbag
river with a rope In his teeth?
| At their worst the correspondents
only slightly exaggerated the real Fun
ston.
Because
Down deep beneath bis little swag-
ger the Napoleonic general has sa-
gacity, judgment and the grit Of a
bulldog. He has proved that ever since
he went down lone handed TO help the
Cuban insurgents.
Lucky?
He has been lucky as Napoleon was
lucky and Charles Martel and Phi
Sheridan
Let no American boy read the biog
raphy Of Frederick Funston to fortifJ
his theory that men go the upward
way by means of luck.
Exactly the opposite is revealed IL

prominent for his active interest in

come a member of the United States

letter and in the next congress two
more will join the group. The new
