FROM GERONIMO TO VILLA.
Pershing as Subaltern Showed Quail
ties Which Made Him Successful.

AS long ago as 1887 General Miles,
one Of that group of Indian fighters
and plainsmen whose valor gave dis
tinetion, if not glory, to our little
army in the years succeeding the Civil
War, thought it worth while to com
mend officially young lieutenant Of
the Sixth Cavalry for marching his
troop, with pack train, over rough
country, lao miles in 46 hours, bring
ing in every man and animal in coed
condition
The young oficer-he was a second
lieutenant, only one year out of West
Point-was John j. Pershing, a native
of Missouri, who had come out the
year before, just in time to join the
operations that resulted in the round
ing up of Geronimo, the famous
Apache chief whose depredations and
treachery had engaged the attention
of Generals Crook and Miles for two
years and had severly strained the re
sources of the entire United States
army as it was at that time organized
1t viii be recalled that the willy
Indian who defied the United States
| government so successfully for so long
q period had to be pursued into Mex
leo over some of the same ground now
being traversed by the American ex

the operations in 1916 in that forbid

We introduce this comparison merely
by way of showing the eminent fit
ness OF having the present difficult
undertaking of our army entrusted to
the hands of one who knew intimate
ly the difficulties, pitfalls and dan
gers innumerable that surrounded the
expedition of thirty years ago. Said
the vetern scout, James II. Cook, who
went with the Eighth Cavalry into
Mexico in 1885, speaking of the adj
vance of Pershing s columns into Mex
leo last month: 1.-The only thing that
makes the expedition look hopeful in
my eyes is my faith in the men who
command it. Mr.. Cook was also re-
ferring here to Lieut.. Cabel, now
chief Of staff to General Pershing; he,
too, was on the Geronimo eXpedit on. }
On March -, 1916, General Pershing
at the head of a cavalry column far
more imposing than that which he hal
commanded. as a lieutenant, % years
before, rode across the international

water and the roughness of the coun

a body of mounted men, this average

not unfavorably with the record made
