At the Majestic.

John ]. Pershing, who is now
leading the greatest army that the
United States has ever brought to-
gether, began the command OF
troops at a very tender age. The
fact was discovered in the re
search work that was instituted in
connection with the preparation OF
the William Fox phOtOplay, Why
America VIII Win" which is the
story OF Pershing's thrilling ca
reer. The future general was born
in LacIede, Mo, and after the COM
pIetion of the Civil war this land
was the scene of many raids by
Cherokee Indians. 1t was natural
that the children of the place
should initiate them and set up a
broomstick company one thing
was noticeable, however, and that
was that young Pershing was al
ways their leader. He seemed to
naturally fall into the commander s
place. Neighbors of the Pershing
family who can now be found de-
clare that the boy showed in his
early youth those qualities of quiet
but unquestioned leadership that
characterize him today. why

scented at the Majestic theatr to-
night.

MESSAGES OF CHEER

Massachusetts Federation Suggests
Novel Method of Keeping Alive
Interest in Religion

Boston, Oct redistribution bv
churches to the homes of members of
their congregations of brief MESA ges
of cheer and exhortation, was sug-
gested today by the Massachusetts,
Federation of Churches as a possible
substitute for Sunday services omitted
because of the prevalence eof influenza.
The messages may be delivered either
by telephone or messenger.
Edward Talmadge Root, field secre-
tary of the federation in a statement
regarding the plan, said
1.-THE situation in which the
churches find themselves placed at
the very opening of the season Of
aggressive work by the closing of their
houses of worship at the request Of
the health authorities, is most en-
barrassing. But the request will be
loyalty needed as long as it seems
necessary. Each local federation
could and should arrange, ON a Sun
day when there can be no public
gatherings for the distribution to
every home of brief message of
cheer and exhortation.
AS [ interpret the new movement
which we have been promoting, it
means that preaching is not the sole
reliance of the churches. Organized
and cooperating, the churches NAV
make their services effective under
any circumstances "
