PERSHINC To GO UP
Congress Will Be Asked to
Make Him Lieut.. General.
This Is Highest Rank Army Of
ficer Can Attain.

Washington. May 26.-Fina1 plans
for the participation of American
troops on the French front were made
at an extended conference between;
President Wilson and Maj. Gen. John
J. Pershing, who will lead the first
American division overseas.
1t vas the first time the general
had met President Wilson and after
the conference IL was said it probably
would be the last before General
Pershing departs for France. Presi-
dent Wilson set forth very plainly his
views concerning the part the Unit
ed States forces must play
General Pershing knows just what
will be expected of him in France.
The uses to which the first American
the recent conferences between ad-
ministration officials and the French
and British missions. Other CONVEX
sations between the president AMI
Marshal Joffre brought broader de-
tails of these plans.
To Be Promoted
1t was late when General Pershing
left the White House. Before he did
so it was reported On high authority
that before Pershing leaves for
France, or very soon after he arrives
L
lieutenant general. This VIII require
the approval of congress and it is ex-
pected President Wilson will send his
name to the senate within a few days.
With his present rank, General
Pershing would be junior to all the
generals now in command of forces
at or near the front, including even
the Portuguese. The policy of the ad-
ministration is to confer senior rank
on all American officers in Europe or
likely to go there, so that they may
be on equal terms with other army
commanders. The same is true of the
navy, Secretary Daniels announcing
this afternoon that Rear Admiral Will
liam S. Sims, now in charge of Ameri-
can naval operations in European wa
tiers, is to be appointed a vice admiral
by President Wilson.
The Highest Rank.
With his new title, General Pershine
will be ranking officer of the United
States army. There are only two

tired. They are Gen. Nelson A. Miles
and Gen. S. NJ. B. Young.
