FIRST NEW GENERAL
IN FIFTY YEARS

Up to tine close OF the Civil War
there had been only four full Generals
in the Army Of the United States
Washington. Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan. For more than fifty years
after no-other was chosen Then came
the ffth-General John ]. Pershing.
commander OF the American Army in
France
Pershing's life IS story OF deep de-
termination. OF refusal to be side-track
ed by obstacles, and of bull dog grit.
Had he been content to side-step the
hard places to take things easy, to
give up when the future seemed hope
less. the world would never have heard
Of him. But, Pershing had set himself
a goal He had scout virtue-defeat
could not down him Today he leads
the best trained army the United
States has ever had. Other men have
