General Pershing then turned to 4
long line of soldiers with mess kits in
their hands and asked:
do you men get enough to eat ou,
here?,
The line saluted briskly and almost
in a chorus came the reply:
"Yes. sir.
INsPEcTs FOES POSTS
The general next appeared in regi
mental headquarters in dugout. in q
town which has been riddled by
shells. The colonel was not there a,
the time and the commander in chief
called for all trench orders and all
papers. He sat down and read
through every one Of them.
In the dugouts Genera, Pershine
suggested some few changes here and
there and in the trenches he also di
rected that some small changes be
made. From we'll situated point Gen
eral Pershing inspected Mont Sec and
the German observation posts on top
Of it, from which the enemy has the
American lines under observation fol-
twenty miles when the visibility is
good Because of the haze the gen
eral was unable to see the spires Of
Metz, which are visible on clear days
from a certain place.
"lT' ISN'T DONE"
Many of the soldiers in line recog
nized the commander in chief as he
passed them or stopped 10 question
them. but others did not. One young
infantryman, after General Pershinl
and the general in command of that
particular brigade had passed, asked
"Who is that with the four stars on
his coat?"
A comrade informed him. where
upon the inquisitive one replied:

around in trenches asking some priv
ate whether he had enough to eat OF
his feet we're dry? It is not being

doubtful soldier that it was General
Pershing he had seen. Throughout the
the inspection tour General Pershing
.limped a little. his ankle having been
injured slightly few days ago. A,

artillerymen the same questions as he
put to the infantrymen, making sur.
that they were all contented and had
no cause for complaint.
