LIFE OF GENERAL PERSHING

ton was a general in the revolution
airy war. However, when he resumed
his military position in anticipation
of q threatened war in 1879, it was
only with the rank of Heutenant-gen-
eral. L. S. Grant w. T. Sherman,
and P. H. Sheridan, were the only
other generals.
Under the provisions of the act
that created Pershing q general, all
commanders of units larger than
division in the field will have the
rank of lieutenant general as is GUS
tomary in the European armies.
In the latter part of October, 1917,
General Pershing felt that certain
units of his forces had received suf-
ficient training to occupy first line
trenches. Preparations were made to
have them replace French troops and
hold a sector of the line.
Under cover Of darkness these
troops marched from the little village
where they had been quartered-it
self nearly under the fire of the enc
my-through roads nearly impossible
with deep, sticky mud.
Missouri mules strained at the ma
chine guns that led the march. Aft
er these a long column of infantry,
the men swathed in their ponchos
and the rain glistening on their steel
trench helmets. The Americans
swung along as proudly as though on
dress parade Notwithstanding they had
marched miles that day and still had
some miles to go. There was abso-
lutte silence in the ranks, for the
Germans might at any moment dis
cover their approach and shower
them with Ghrapnel.
Nearing the trenches they passed
another silent line marching in the
opposite direction. 1t was the French
battalions whose places they were
taking on the front line. The flash

president WILSON had been
urged to give General Pershing
and several other American generals
rank equal to that of European Off
GERS with similar commands. Tt was
not fitting, he was told, that the
American commandments should
be outranked by q British or French
officer who Occupied a subordinate
position. AS a result, Oct. 4, 1917,
congress decided to revive the rank of
general and to create both Pershing
and Tasker H. Bliss, the chief of
staff. full generals.
With the elevation of General
Pershing, the only officers superior to
him on the front were Field Marshal
Petain and Sir Douglas Haig. The
American army never had the grade
Of field marshal.
BY the promotion of Pershing and
Bliss, these two held a rank in the
military service of the United States
which heretofore had been held by
only four soldiers. George Washing

light of French officer revealed that
here were the long expected Ameri-
cans, and soft greetings Of "Five
PAmerique" came from the poilus,
who forgot their WEAKNESS at the
sight.
The troops entered the trenches
safely unit by unit, passing quickly
to the positions assigned to them by
the French liaison officer, who had
remained to conduct the transfer and
report the special activities of that
particular sector to it's new occu-
pants.
The trenches were found to be ex-
tremely muddy, but of excellent con-
struction. The Americans settled
down to their new quarters, and at
daylight got their first view of the
German lines stretching away for
miles under the dripping clouds
General Pershing kept in close
touch with the front that night. AS
he sat in his headquarters surrounded
by his staff, with the clicking Of tele-
graph instruments, the voices of tele-
phone operators monotonously re-
peating orders, the dull booming of
big guns and the occasional flash of
star shell Frightening the night,
sibiliity that had been placed in his
hands.
He was the first officer Of the Unit
ed States army in more than fifty
years who had been entrusted with
the lives of a great army of citizens.
He knew that these men taking their
places on the front line of the great
battlefield were but a small represen-
tation of the millions to follow them.
It would mean much if good fortune
should be with these men.
All night the general listened to the
frequent dispatches that came from
the front.
With the dawn General Pershing's
face frightened in a smile that would
have riValled q more cheerful sun
rise. His mon were safely in their APP
pointed places, a part of the fighting
line was guarded by the Stars and
Stripes; America at last was firmly
on the road that led toward Berlin
The armies that were to follow these
men into the trenches would do SO
with an unshakablc confidence, The
first stage of his mighty task had
been accomplished.

that the fuelless Mondays could not be
Immediately abandoned as has been
hoped, because the intense cold had so
cut down movement of fuel supplies
to the country.
There was every indication that un-

cording to program, ends March 25.

today. Armed with data regarding
the fuel and transportation saving eff
fected by the workless holiday, Fuel
Administrator Garfield and Railroad
Administrator McAdoo were prepared
to go into conference this afternoon
to thresh out the matter of lifting the
Monday closing rule.
1t is known that McAdoo is press

lifted. Commercial interests general

have been insistent that the closing
order be revoked so far as their busi-

be reached whereby the freight en-
barge will be continued and perhaps
even extended thus enabling the fuel
