AMERICA IS PROUD
OF YOU---PERSHING
TELLS A SOLDIER
HAYWOOD BROWN
In New York Tribune

The American cXpeditionary army
in France. "A little doughboy lay
flat on his back this afternoon and
g%rinned while the commander in
chief stood at the foot of his bed
and told him America was proud of
him.
PerShing, with four stars on his
shoulders, told the boy he envied
him.
This was the soldier who refused
to go into a dugout, but stood in a
trench under the German bombard-
ment to dig out his comrade, who
had been buried by the bursting of
a shell Just before the German raid.
He hadn't been feeling very chip
per to-day until Pershing came. They
had lust fooled around his wound,
and it hurt, although the doctor had
told him he was getting along
nicely,
Locked For More Doctors
Only a few minutes had passed
when there was a %clatter at the door.
He thought it was going to be some
more doctors and nurses, but in
stead it was majors and colonies

ing because he had spoken to him
once in the course of an inspection.
The general had asked him if he
thought that was the way to stand
at attention, but this time PERISH
ing said:
Il want to congratulate you.
envy You. There isn't a man in the
army who wouldn't like to be in
your place. You have brought home
to the people of America that we
are in the war. I want to thank
you"
And the nurse who made the
rounds that evening wondered why
a patient who was doing 50 well
should have a pulse hitting ninety
nine.
Pershing had a word for each of
the American wounded. and earlier
in the day a major general visited
the hospital and read to the first
officer and the first soldier wound
ed in the war the citations which
the French gave them. These cita-
tons would bring the "Croix de
Guerre" with the gold star if reg
.ulations permitted American SOL
to accept foreign decorations.
An American Decoration
General Pershing told one of these
men later that he hoped there would
eventually be an American d~ecora-
ton which might be awarded on
The field. The French citation read:
1.-THE first officer of the American
who has poured out his blood
On French soil for the defence of
light and of liberty. Wounded by
shell explosion on October 2S."
This citation will be read to an
lrmy corps. Before visiting the hos

TIE PASSING OF THE SWORD.

The sword as a cherished and
traditional emblem of military au-
thority is soon to be a thing of mem
DRY, experience of modern warfare
having shown that it is useless,
cumbersome and bullet drawing weap-
on. Says the Philadelphia Ledger of
ITS passing:
The war department order eliml-
mating the sword as part of the equip
ment of the officer in the organiza-
tion of the new American army is
quite in line with the accepted pr2c-
flee in the embattied armies in Eu-
rope since the beginning of the pres
ent war, but it none the less m4rks
the passing perhaps final-of one Of
the most cherished albeit useless
badges of the military profession.
This ancient weapon is abandoned for
two reasons: 1t is no longer of real
service either as an instrument OF Of
tense or of defense, and it is dis
tinguishing mark which makes its
bearer a conspicuous target for the
enemy sharp shooters. The cavalry
saber will probably remain for a
time, where cavalry can find anything
to do, for this form of the sword is
to the troopers what the bayonet is
to the infanfryman. Notwithstanding
the admitted uselessness of the sword
it's passing wfll'7b be- regretted. 1t nay
still linger awhile as a ceremonial
adornment, a symbol of military rank
far from the field of active service,
but, like all antiquated things must
finally succumb to the inevitable and
be furnished from the kit OF the real
soldier.

Who carries provisions and brings him
his mail?
Who helps him to travel through SUM-

Who brings ammunition?-The engin-
eer train.
Who works in the heat? Who tolls in
the cold?
Who puts in the ticks that make
young men grow old?
Who is it that goes with the dough-
boy to fight
And makes a good target while fur
nishing light?
Who is it that suffer their share of the
pain
And get none of the credit?-The en-
gineer train.
