MAN OF
SORROW"
Leader Of Mexican Punitive Expedition
Lost Wife and Children in Blaze at
Frisco; Wins Battles by
Diplomacy
BY United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, March 30.-A fighting
soldier who wins battles by diplomacy
is rarity. But that is the distinction
accorded Brigadier General John ].
Jershing, the imam of sorrow" of the
army, whose beautiful wife and three
baby girl children were burned to
death in fire that destroyed their
home in San Francisco August 27,
1915.
Many and picturesque are the tales
told of this Beau Brummel Of the
army; a handsome, dashing soldier;
brilliant and bloody in battle, equally
brilliant in boodless conquests; hero
OF romance and strife; linguist. dip
lomat, scholar; man who won his
rank as much through peaceful con-
guering of his enemies as through
daring leadership in military cam
raigns against them.
Pershing and the Philippines are
synonymous. 1t was Pershing, then
Captain Pershing, of the First, later
the Fifteenth, cavalry-who drew the
task of subduing the fanatical Moros
on Mindanao and Jolo.. He was given
2,200 men-and free reign. Not one
of those men was sacrificed in battle.
Instead of beginning war of exter-
nination against the Moros, Capt.
Pershing began study of their Ian
guage. He soon mastered their tongue.

Sundaysl, and taking texts from the
Koran, talked to them on reconcilia-
ton with the United States govern
ment. In this way, without fighting a
single battle, he won all but two of
the mountain tribes, and was eonse-
Grated a Datto by the Sultsns of the
tribes.
But with the two tribes who spurll-
ed his efforts at peaceful consuest, he
showed relentless and crushing pow
er. Their strong mountain forts fell
before his onslaught until forty had
been captured and their last strong
hold taken. One hundred and seven
tyfive Moros paid the extreme penalty
in battle for their folly Only Ia
American soldiers were wounded
none killed.
His conquest in Mindanao resulted
in Pershing's appointment as Adjutani
General on that island and Jolo, and
Colonel Roosevelt, then president, sur
prised the entire army organization
by promoting him over the heads o.
Sc ranking officers to be brigadiel
general.
But his promotion came only after {
bitter struggle that threatened for ;
time to blacken him forever. He had
married the daughter of Senator War
rem of Wyoming year before promo

was one of the most brilliant socia

EXPECT COUNCIL SCRAP OVER
. CARROLL AV. SWITCH TRACK
INDIVIDUALS TO Benefit

-lNBlNlDOAES - bENEFII
Mayor Thompson's little plan to
have a switch track run through
Carroll av. in order to boost the value
of property owned by the mayor, his
two brothers and his sister, may have
tough shedding in the local indus
tries committee.
The ordinance calling for the build
ing of the switch track came nearly
going over without a kick if Aid. w.
J. Healy of the 18th ward hadn't
spilled the beans.
Healy got up in the council last
night and threw the searchlight on
the ordinance. He said he had in
troduced the ordinance because the
property was in his ward and he
thought at the time it was a general
development plan for the benefit of
all property owners on Carroll av.
Since he had learned that it was
scheme to benefit only certain indi-
viduals, he said, he decided to dis
own the ordinance.
The scheme would transform Car
roll av. into a railroad switch for five
docks from Morgan ST. to Elizabeth
st. The mayor, his sister, Mrs. Will
liam N. PelOuze, and Gale and Per
cival Thompson own two pieces of
property along Carroll av. One is
located at May ST., the other at Car
penter st.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. !
Paul, and the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, !
Chicago & st. Louis railroads would |
also benefit greatly by the switch.

was vacant and that he had been told !
