uai induction into the service Of the

ing the past two weeks. Individual in

charged on the list Of his local board

cants, which are the first batch ham
died by the War Department. are from
outside of Washington.
All these have been sent from the
War Department after official action
on their application to the Adjutant
General Of the District for examina-
tion.

the result Of unusual desire for re-
cruiting In Washington. Men want to
get into the army at once for some
special reason. They go to their local
board and are sent up the line to the
| War Department. Here the authority

War Savings Stamps
Develop Thrift Idea

War savings was the topic Of dis
cussion at the Arts Club dinner last
night. The war savings system was
explained in detail by Frederick A.
Delano, of the Federal Reserve Board
and an informal discussion followed.
War savings stamps will mean
much toward the development OF
thrift in Americans" said Mr.. De
lano. I'VE are accustomed to consider
thrift as synonymous with stinginess
and miserliness. and I believe that
the participation Of Americans in th'
war loans will bring about a change
in this which will rebound to the in
calculable good OF the country"

Arts Club, presided as toastmaster
of the dinner. Mrs Bush-Brown and

who appreciated good joke.
"Old Jack Best" the veteran train
er at the university, remembers Perish
ing intimately. HE was the finest
man that | ever worked with" said
Best. ITS true he was mighty strict
with his work but the results he got
were so good that everybody he work
ed with loved him for it. When he
was here we had a regiment the uni
Versity could be proud of just wor-
shipped that man and everybody
around the university felt the same
about him. If any of you newspaper
men get chance to tell it to him, you
just say that old Jack wishes him the
best luck in the world and that he
hopes he will beat the Germans all
alone.
Usually he was mighty dignified
IN his work but he had way of get
ting next to new men," continued
Best. "The first time 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,
l am darned sure we'll get along Just
as WE'LL
The boys at the university got
surprise the first day Pershing drill
ed them" said Best. at 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 black
ed and that the heels looked as good
as the toes. He was just that thor
ough-going in everything all the time.
He was AL in every way and you can
ask anyone who knew him if that is
not the gospel truth
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 mill
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 So
cial activities.
The first time that General Perish
Aing appeared in Chicago and was seen
Fpy neighbors, he was clad in overalls
and was hard at work in vegetable
garden in the yard behind his fathers
! house in the southside of the city.
| There was some surprise among the
neighbors that a man who then was
entitled to wear the uniform and brass
buttons of a captain should be will
ing to put them aside and hoe the gar
den but the incident is illuminative of
the character of the man upon whom
the country relies to lead the Ameri-
can forces to victory against the Ger
mans in Europe.

OUR HERO
GENERAL

LINCOLN, Nebraska, Jan. Sit was
a newspaper story that diverted John
]. Pershing from his purpose to be-
come a school teacher and started
him upon the military career which
lead to his appointment as general in
the United States army and comand-
er of the American expeditionary force
in France. The story is told by Gen
eral Pershing's sisters, Mrs. Butler
and Miss May Pershing who are resi-
dents of Lincoln and who have given
to the Associated Press intimate views
of Pershings character in his youth
full days.
1t was while Pershing and his sis
ter. now Mrs. Butler, were attending
the Missouri State Normal school at
Kirksville, Mo, that his attention was
one day called to a newspaper announ-
cement that examinations were to be
held for appointment to the West
Point military academy. Young Perish.
ing asked his sisters advice as to
whether he should try for the appoint
ment and she advised him to do so.
Then followed a short season of in
tensive study in preparation.
In few days he was called before
the examining board and, although i'm
properly prepared, received the high
est mark among the contestants and
soon afterward was notified of his APP
pointment. Up to this time his action
had been a secret between his sister
and himself and it remained so until
he was ready to start for West Point.
On his way to the military academy
he stopped off at the home of his
parents and for the first time told
them they were to have a soldier in
the family.
AS boy, General Pershing, his sis
ters say, was of a quiet serious tenn
permanent, assuming, as the oldest of
six children, many of the responsible
ties of the family. He was wont. dur
ing his early years which were spent
in Laclede, Mo, his birthplace to
| manage one of the several farms op.
Grated by his father, John F.. Perish.
ing, merchant and farmer of Lac
lede.
John" Mrs. Butler said, although
of a quiet disposition, liked a goot
time and enjoyed fun as much as any
one. Yet when he started anything
he wanted to get the result and hi
generally attained that object before
he gave it up"
While at the normal school at Kinks
vile, he was always in the center Of
student activities and never was con
tent to be merely one of the crowd
but wanted to be head of the move
ment. His personal magnetism and
generally likeable character quickly
won him friends and supporters and
soon he became one of the student
leaders.
After having been graduated from
West Point and having served with
General Miles in a campaign in New
Mexico against the Indian chief Ge"
onizo, Pershing was stationed as mill
tary instructor at the University of
