Getting Ready for First Trip.

1 was dressed at 4:30 and had had
my coffee and was on the run for the
hangers by 4:45. The four machines
of the patrol were lined up before the
hangers. The mechanicians were
hustling about, tuning them up for the
flight. Motors were ripping the air
with short roars. Propellers were
spinning in spurts. Everything was
abustle. One or two of the other pilots
were already seated in their machines.

S|DEL|GHTS ON
 CHARACTER OF
 GEN. PERSH|NG

FL PASO, Texas, July 20. ~Ameri- cans who accompanied General Persh- ing to Mexico in the various civilian capacities never tire of talking Of the little sdelghts on the character Of the general commanding the Ameri- can forces in France, as shown to them while he was in the desert of western Chihuahua.
 'I saw a better character sketch Of General Pershing than any of the man here He squatted in front or a camp fire at San Geronomo, frying his hardtack in the bacon grease oi his mess pan. with the wind blowing sand into his face and food, and the general grinning good -naturedly all the time, as one of our COW puncher scouts spun yarn about buffalo hunt he was on in the Little Canadian, up in the Panhandle"
 These men tell many incidents of General Pershing's stay on the border and in Mexico as illustrations of his regard for his men and for the serv- ice.
 On an inspection trip from Nami- Quipa he saw a mule driver beating his team because they would not pull an overloaded wagon out of a rut. Jumping from his automobile, General Pershing lectured the mule driver, forced him to tighten the load. deftly swung the team around and drove the i wagon onto the high road.
 Again. he reprimanded colonel who ! forced his men to march all day with sixty.pound field pack, when empty motor trucks were passing all day, en route to the same destination.
 An American soldier will fight harder live on less food and accept
 more hardships than any other sol dier in the world," General Pershing said, in commenting upon the incl dent. But he can see no reason why his pack should not be hauled in empty trucks If trucks are passing. | Neither can l."
 l A camp sutler at Colonia Dublan
 smuggled in an automobile load of
 whisky After disposing of his stock
 the man appeared at General Persh- i ing's headquarters to ask for a pass 1 back to the border. He got the pass as free ride as prisoner and was 1 forced to dig latrines and repair roads i en route.
 The announcement that General 1 Pershing had adopted two French or
 phans recalled a flood of tender mem ories to friends of General Pershing on the border, for il was while he
 was in command here that his wife and two children were burned to death at the Presidio in San Fran
 cisco General Pershing's hair a chestnut brown, slowly turned to gray after his loss, and he could be seen frequently riding on the mesa beyond Fort Bliss, alone with his great grief.
