"Usually he was mighty dignified in his work, but he had a way of get ting next to new men," continued Best. "The first time 1 ever saw him he walked right up to me, slapped me on the shoulder and said. well. Jack, they tell me you got along mighty we'll with my predecessor. If you did, I am darned sure we'll get along just as we'll
 ~"The boSs at the university got a surprise the first day .Pershing drilled them," said Best. "It had been their habit before that time to come to drill with shoes blackened or not, just as they pleased. When Pershing took hold the first thing he looked at was to see that all shoes were we'll blacked and that the heels looked as good as the toes. He was just that thorough going in everything all the time. He was Al in every way and you can ask anyone who knew him if that isn't the gospel truth"
 Gardening His Fad.
 Odd as it may seem in a fighting man, General Pershing's one fad. ac- cording to his sisters, is gardening. His father was an expert gardener and the taste descended to the mili- tary man. Whenever he was on leave he immediately would don work-day clothes, go into his fathers garden, seemingly enjoying the work over the vegetables as much as he enjoyed social activities.
 The first time that General Per shing appeared in Chicago and was seen by neighbors. he WAS clad in overalls and was hard at work in a vegetable garden in the yard behind his fathers house in the southside of the city. There was some surprise among the neighbors that man who then was entitled to wear the uniform and brass buttons of a captain should be willing to put them aside and hoe the garden, but the incident is illumi- i native of the character of the man upon whom the country relies to lead the American forces to victory against the Germans in Europe.

world. The world cannot be safe for democracy so long as an organized autocracy-its people still believing it victorious intrenched in the cen ter of Europe leading lO,oo0,0o0 arm cd men and possessing the resources Of l70,000,000 people in the worlds central position for all seas and all continents"
 Asserting that the underlying cause for America'S entrance into the war was that the German government 'en- dangered our safety and challenges cur freedom" the statement declares that "prcsdent Wilson was the true spokesman of the American people when he said in his message to Con gross that the American people are impatient with those who desire peace by any sort of compromisc.'
 No compromise is conceivable" :" continues the declaration. Eff the Ger man government is not utterly brought to an end by military defeat or polit- ical revolution from within. Since a lasting world peace is our chief war aim. which of Germanys crimes can we afford to accept as innocent acts and permit to be repeated and continued? Which oppressed nation aIity can we safely abandon to her sovcreientv? What slaughter of in- nocents and destruction of their prop erty shall we leave without such reparation as can be afforded by fi- nancial indemnity?"
 Quoting from President Wilson's as- sertions that the war will not be won until the rulers of the German people make reparation for the wrongs they have done, the league asserts that in- demnities should be paid in the cases of Belgium, Serbia, Poland, Rumania and France.
 The League for National Unity was organized in Washington last Septem- Der. It's purposes are to create me dium through which loyal Americans of all classes can give expression tC the fundamental purpose of the United States to carry on the war to a sue cessful conclusion. Cardinal James Gibbons is honorary chairman of the league and Theodore N. Vail presi dent of the American Telephone ant Telegraph Company, is chairman Among the vice chairmen are Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and George Pope | president of the National Association of Manufacturers.

UNITY LEAGUE OPPOSES
 1 ANY PREMATURE PEACE
In War to \ullity German Power aud Fight Ont Issue to
 Finish.

New York. Dec 22-The League for National Unity today issued dcclara- lon, signed by it's officers and EXccu- tive Committee. in which all efforts to- ward a premature peace are con dCmncd and the determination of con tinuing the war until a military vic tory is achieved and the autocratie power of the Imperial German gov ernment is broken, is pledged.
 "We are in this war to conquer the enemy's armics,' declares the state ment, though not his territory or population. We intend to nullify the power of the Imperial German gov ernment. We do not intend that it shall gain, at the expense of other nations. either an enlargement of ter rifory' or an expansion of industrial and commercial opportunities or 'an increase of prestige.'"
 When German military reverses Obliterate past victories and the war map becomes unfavorable, no doubt some of the German parties will be gin to consider the peace principles of world democracy" the statement con- cludes. But no influential German party yet sees coming defeat. There is, therefore, as yet no common ground for discussion between the partisans of might and the partisans of right

 ''The Imperial German government seeks a compromise in the irrepress ible conflict between autocracy and democracy before it shall be too late All who are willing to compromise on this issue are willing to aid despotism as all who urged compromise on Abraham Lincoln in the Civil war aided slavery.

GERMANY CANNOT BE ATTACKED
 FROM 1hE SEA
Admiral Mayo Tells Why No Attempt Made to At
 tack Prussian Navy.

Washington, Dec. 22.-After many ,onferences of naval officials. with Admiral Mayo speaking the opinions ,h;ch he gained abroad from foreign a,,o1 wl,,oI authorities m of the allies, it has las"' haan nractically decided that a sea 1ss,l 9e;ae m !, Germany, even though it was Participated in by the ships, ot the Enronean allies, supplemented by ev- erv available craft from the Amerl- can 1 navy, is impracticable. '"1l r. ;s certain, of course, that no of so;al announcement will be made ot .,ea .ha negative decision which is said tc @ hava heen reached, but officials com .natent n to pass an opinion have shown convincing coolness for the plan.
 Problem Unanswered.
 What can the combined fleets dc ,b;ch the British alone could not have accomplished? It is a question tc which no answer has been found.
 All approaches to Wilhelmsha7en Germany's great naval base on the North sea; Hamburg and Bremen with their shipbuilding yards, are commanded by the enormous guns of fine island fortress of Helgoland. The water around the island is "platted'' ike checkerboard for many miles.
 The gunnery of no moving ship iould compare in the marvellous ac- curacy and vast range of the big Hel. coland guns. Under the blood red cliffs of the island, 200 feet high, there are flotillas of fast destroyers, submarines and hydroplanes. Naval experts have declared that Helgoland can stand off the combined fleets of the world.
 Behind Helgoland are a series of islands with powerful batteries. At the mouth of the Weser and Elbe riv- CTS there are still other powerful guns.
 Netted With Mines.
 .v Between Helgoland and the main coast are series of large mine fields. In that part of the North sea the < water is shallow. There are many sandbars which constantly shift. The allies have no charts of the available ! channels for three years. They are \ known only to the Germans. Then there are the U-boats, which have their base at Helgoland and Wilhelms- haven.
 The Germans think Germany inn pregnable to attack from the sea. Nothing has taken place during the war that has in any way shaken their confidence in the impregnability of their North sea bulwarks against successful attacks.
 British Acquiesce.
 The British have acquiesced in that belief. Three years of war during which the vast British grand fleet has not once attacked the coast of Ger many has led the general public in all countries to an acceptance of the Ger mans own decision that it "can not be done," and to the assumption that British admiralty coincides in that view. It is the only logical explana- ton to the policy of the British ad- miralty.
 Since the return of Admiral Mayo from London this assumption has found confirmation in numerous ru. mors emanating from naval circles.- Cleveland Leader.

TALES OF THE TELEPHONE.
