Making Pershing A General

1t is Inevitable that the rank OF
General should be revived for Major
General Pershing, as the War De-
partment has proposed to the Senate
Military Committee. In one aspect
the thing is regrettabie, Tor ii parts
company with an old American ira
dition. That tradition is that the
rank of General is a rare and excep-
tional honor, never to be given except
in recognition of the full perform
ance of most extraordinary services,
such as Major General Pershfng has
never had the opportunity to per
form. 1t has been held only by
Washington, Grant, Sherman, and
Sheridan. Between the death OF
Washington and the end Of the war
of secession no one held it, not even
Scott, who commanded the army SO
long and who was the military idol OF
his time. In creating the rank OF
Lieutenant General for him the Gov
eminent considered THAT it was max
ing a notable concession.
Throughout the war of secession
no one was elevated to that rank. 1t
rewarded Grant when the war was
over, and Sherman was appointed
General after the death of Grant.
Sheridan in turn succeeded Sherman,
but on his death the title was allowed
to lapse. The office has been laid
to lapse The Office has been held
sacred like that of Marshal OF
France, which no Frenchman of to-
day is permitted to hold except Jof-
fire, and which was not accorded ev-
en- to him until he retired from com
mand, until his record was complete
ly made.
In this view of things il seems
pity that the old tradition cannot be
maintained, as has been the similar
tradition in the navy, which has re-
served the rank of Admiral for only
three men, Farragut. Porter, and
Dewey. But lit is situation. not a
theory, that confronts u.s." and The
reasons for Pershing's promotion are
practical. He is to command an ar
nv which will grow to million III. Ii.
and such an army can hardly be COM
manded by an officer holding no

The shipping summary follows:
Arrivals, 1850: saihngs, 2,742.
Two OF the sunken ships in the lar
ger class were sunk in previous
period. Fishing vessels sunk, none.
British merchant vessels unsuccess-

viously, sixteen.
The high water mark of the en-
tire campaign was established in the
week ended April 21. when tifty-tive
ships were sunk, forty of them OF
more than 1000 tons.
Coupled with the statement today
by Winston Churchill, Minister OF
Munitions, that the submarine cam
paign had been ''repulsed," if not de-
feated, the sharp reduction of ship
ping losses hearten the British peo-
pie TO a great extent.
The capacity of the country TO
wage war, declared Churchill, was
unimpaired the armies had been
supplied with an ever increasing high
level of equipment and the reserves
of food were greater than before the
submarine campaign began.
The total of all losses to world 5
shipping since Germany's ruthless L.
boat war went into effect aggregates
about two-thirds of those asserted by
the Germans in statement issued
Sept. l. At that time the Germans
alleged that an average of 100000
tons had been sunk monthly for sew
en- months.
The actual totals of tonnage sunk
compiled here show that not even
during the most successful month
for the U-boat-April-hay the fig
ures reached any such proportion,
while the August losses dropped TO
almost half the April figure.

USES FOR FAMILY UMBRELLA
Mind of Woman Devises Two Ways il
Which Rainstick May Be Pressed
Into Service.

Two novel uses for an umbrella are
told of in a recent issue of Poplar Me
chanics Magazine. The mind of WON.
an devised them both.
Picnickers desiring to go in bathing
are often handicapped by the lack of
convenient places to change clothes. An
umbrella and some paper muslin pro-
vides a light portable tent that is prac-
teal and inexpensive for such uses.
Cut the dark paper muslin into as
many nine-foot lengths as there are
sections of the umbrella. Sew these
strips together. At each seam tie a
string about Il yard long and a stout
cord 10 feet long to the handle to hold
up the tent. For use open the UNI
brella, invert it and to each rib tie one
end of the cord to the handle of the
umbrella and suspend it from a tree
or other support, weighing OF tying
down the other end.
A clothes dryer that can be easily
carried will appeal to travellers and
persons living in small quarters. An
umbrella, four yards of strong wrap
ping Irvine and several small brass
rings are required. Knot the rings
into the twine at intervals, measuring
the distance between the rib points of
the umbrella, and hook the twine to
the points by the rings, providing con-
siderable drying space for small arti-
cles. Hook the umbrella handle ver
a suitable support or tie it carefully
to the supporting pipe of a light fix
ture in the middle of the room, ready
for the articles to be dried.
