Derby issues the command to the driver.
The General may ask:
GLOW long are we fixed for, sergeantr
and Lanckton will reply:
1.-TWO weeks, sir" There is always
linen and such in the car for that period.
Once they have started Gen. Pershing
may settle comfortably in his seat and 60
to sleep. He has himself thoroughly
trained to relaxation. He holds to the
theory of conserving energy by giving
himself over to mental and physical mac
ton. 1t is a trick of the hard riding
cavalry from which he comes. At the
end of the journey Lanckton arouses him.
Always Has Wifs's Picture.
The orderly hustes the bags into the
Generals quarters. One phase of the un-
packing is always the same. The first
article to come out of the bags is picture
of Mrs. Pershing and the four children as
they appeared before that tragic event at
the Preside three years ago when she and
the little girls lost their lives in fire in
quarters. Lanckton sees to it that the
picture is always on the desk or bureau
of the General He often sits before it
contemplatively and the orderly believes
that at such times the General forgets
that his wife and little girls are gone.
II they remain at headquarters the day
is even more strenuous. Both men arise
at o'clock and begin with a half hour of
setting up exercises which they take TO-
gether. Then the General, despite his
fifty-seven years, goes out for run of
fifteen minutes. When be returns, they
throw the medicine ball for half an hour.
1t is fast work and there is punch and
force behind it. The orderly admits that
the General usually wears him down. To
be sure the General is larger man, but
thirty-two should have its advantages
over fifty seven. There are more setting
up exercises at bed time, whieS is likely
to be about II o'clock. 1t Is so that the
physical condition of General Pershing
comes to be magnificent.
Since he has been with the General,
Lanckton tells me, be has seen him Ill but
once. That was when they went into
Mexico. The change of water was the
cause. The General remained in his tent
one day. The doctor was sworn to Sc
crecy and the troop was not allowed to
know that its commander was indisposed.
The next morning the General asked his
orderly how he felt and the answer was
"hungry." The cook was called in and
light breakfast was ordered and eaten,
despite protests of the doctor. Recovery
was immediate.
When Gen. Pershing went to Europe
he did not speak French. Marshal Joffre
and many other Of the French officers
were equally without English. The
Frenchmen were always in the majority,
and French was quite naturally the pre-
