paigns against the turbulent Moros
won him such fame that the war de.

at the time the youngest West Pointer
ever named general of the regular

President Roosevelt did this in
1906, jumping Pershing from captain
to brigadier general over S62 other
officers who were Pershing's seniors
In 1906, Pershing became governor
of the Moro province. Combining d..
plomacy with fighting qualities, he
pushed his campaigns against the
Moros until he pacified them by the
defeat of Bagsag in 1918.
Pershing returned to the United
States in January, 1914. and became
head of the Eighth brigade of the
army, with headquarters at FL Paso.
Pershing was married in 1905 to

CASE I. Of 0 WAR \
Plan to be Followed viii be Same
as Adopted in European
Countries.
PAPER TRUST CONSENTS
TO AN ARMisTicE
BY gibson GARDNER,

Washington, Feb. 23.-In case wal
actually is declared one Of the first
steps to be taken by the administra
ton will be. to. ask congress for an
thority to commander all raw mater
ials necessary for the manufacture OF
munitions. This means cotton, wool
metals such as iron, copper and var
ious alloys used in shell and gun max
ing, coal, chemicals and possibly, also
f0Odstuffs.
The plan to be followed is the same
as that adopted abroad. The govern
mont would take possession of all
these commodities at fair market
value, to be fixed as of the time they
are taken over. The government
would furnish manufacturers the raw
materials and pay them a fair profit,
not less than eight nor more than
20 percent, for their work in convert
ing the raw material into articles
needed for the prosecution of the war
Plan Approved.
This plan is not only approved but
urged by Secretary Daniels and by a
majority of the presidents cabinet.
It is based on the advice of all the
experts who have studied the war
situation in England, France, Ger
many and Russia. The idea is to cut
out high private speculative profits
and to insure the efficient service
necessary for successfully carrying on
the war. .-......
Congress will be asked to grant gen.
eral authority to the president to be
exercised at the latter's discretion,
rather than to attempt to legislate as
70 detail. In discussions which have
taken place in the cabinet and in
co,nsels with the National Defense
League, it has been agreed that this
is the only plan likely to be effective
for checking private speculation ana

past, always have followed any effort

needs by trafficking with private bust.
ness. Price fixing not accompanied
by control of raw materials is FOUND
to be impossible. BY taking over raw
materials the Government can fix
prices, and unquestionably would
sooner or, later take over stocks OF
food materials. and by fixing food
prices on staple articles do much to-
ward solving the pressing problem
presented by the high cost of living.

WHAT The DOCTOR KNOWS
Kidneys Must Be Right to
Insure Health.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical ana
lysis of the patients urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing their
work properly, the other organs cannot
readily be brought back to health and
strength
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's Disease. which is
really an advanced form Of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten Thousand
deaths in one year. in the State of New
York alone. Therefore. it is particu-
to the health Of these important or
gans.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as q kidney
remedy is DIR. klmers Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation. in most cases. is soon
realized. according to sworn statements
and verified testimony of those who
have used the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,

University Masquers Pre-

Two hundred persons of nation
not week from war heard Miles
Malleson's "Black Ell" played by
members of the Masquers' club of
the State University last night. If
the Englishman's terrible elabora-
ton of the late General Shef4nan's
remark caused any misgivings in
the 200 the misgivings were not
apparent. The audience took the
bitter dose without blinking.
It may be that the 200 expected
two hours of professional acting.
Now BLACK Ell" is short, one
act play. 1t was presented by a
company Of amateurs. To people
who went to the university last
evening informed of those facts
the performance seemed well worth
while. 1t was a careful, earnest
reading of n brilliant drama. Not
for an instant. naturally, was any,
one made to feel that he was in a
London home, witnessing the re-
turn of a Mortified soldier. But
always one felt that he was re-

such a return.
Leo Reardan, who took the part
of a hero overwhelmed by the
shastliness of his heroism and
afire with a wish to tell the world
of wars nastiness. was uncom-
monty able. He gave saving Wig

act his part: he lived it. Yet his
denunciation of a world gone mad
did not perccptibly move his audi
