last year. has been secetly married
in Ireland to one of her childhood
playmates, it was learned today
from a letter received here by one
of her friends.
Miss O'Brien finally settled with
Manning for 100000 after having
been awarded a $225, 900 verdict and
having it reduced by Supreme Court
Justice Cropsey to $125,000. Threat
Of an appeal caused her to accept
the lesser amount.

November 22," she wrote to her
friend. Wasn't 1t quick work?
You may remember my telling you
about the chap who wanted to
marry me three years ago; we'll, he

happy"

ALWAYS on the job. Why can't
everybody else be?
He plays no favorites. He demands
just as much from officers who have
soldiered with him for thirty years as
he does from those who have Just en-
tered the service from civilian life.
II Gen. Pershing didn't keep an iron
hand on the throttle over here, and II
he didn't have his army permeated
with the idea that every man must
deliver" or suffer the consequences,
what would happen?
Everybody would take his own sweet
time and do things in his own sweet
way. Maybe the supplies would ar
rive on time and maybe they wouldn't.
lery and ammunition on hand to repel
German attacks and maybe there
wouldn't
Gen. Pershing shows in his every
day life and dealings over here that
his first thoughts are for the hundreds
OF thousands of young men who are
carrying the muskets on their shoul-
ders.
To my way OF thinking. they're
mighty lucky to be soldering under a
man who knows exactly what ought to
be done and uses Iron discipline"
when necessary, to get it done.
Another chapter OF the story of
Gen. Pershing will appear in The
Herald tomorrow.

why ITALY BATTLES
Shown BY ATTACHE
V. Falorsi Explains Motives for En-
tering World Conflict.

Italy was not actuated by motives
of selfishness when she entered the
war, V. Falorsi, an attache of the
Italian Embassy. declared last night
before an audience at the New Will
lard Hotel, in a lecture on war con-
ditions in Italy.
Italy's sole object was to help crush
a barbarie race that had become a
menace to civilization, and with this
idea in view Italy was in the war
for victory and would. see it through
to the end.
Mr.. FaIorsi's address was followed
by moving pictures of aviation and
ether activities on the Italian war
front. The lecture and exhibition of
pictures was under the auspices Of
the Signal Corps Emergency Com
mittee and for the. benefit of its
wool fund GnG charity for Italian
children. More than 800 tickets were
sold, netting the fund about s4OO.

in small apertures in the trunk con-
tained in minute glass phials. The

Iron Discipline? Call 1t What You
Will, Pershing Demands Best of Men
By c. c. LYON,

with Pershing's Army In France.

The Washington Herald Reporter
With Pershing's Army In France.
Copyright, 1s1s)
With the American Army in
France, March 8.-They say over
here that Gen. Pershing uses iron
discipline"
Let's see if I can draw a pic
ture of Pershing's "iron disci-
pline" in A B c terms so the nom
military mind will clearly grasp it.
Well all admit the War De-
partment wished on Gen. Perish
ing a whale of a job when they
asked him to take an unframed,
undisciplined, inexperienced mob
of husky young Americans and
make them into an army capable
of licking the hosts of the Kaiser.
This Characterization, of course,
excludes our small regular army,
which was trained to a certain
kind of warfare and that part of
our National Guard that had had
previous training.
Great Organixation.
Before the first American troops de-
barked on French soil, Gen. Pershing
had planned for ocean transportation.
With troops arriving by the tens
Of thousands and rushing off to the
war zone, Gen. Pershing had first Of
all, to perfect Q great organization
to handle them.
There must be men under him ca
pable OF directing the railroad trans
portation; others must see that sup
plies of all kinds are forthcoming;
others that guns and ammunition are
on the spots where and when they
will be most needed; others must look
after the medical and hospital ends;
others, matters pertaining to motor
and wagon transportation; while still
others must be ready, in advance
of the coming of the troops, to teach
them trench warfare methods.
Now, these multitudinous details
are and will be handled for the most
part by men who have. had only slight
If any. experience in a big war prior
to last April.
With supreme command in his
hands and matters of general policy
constantly before him, Gen. Pershing
obviously can't attend to army de-
tails.
He must delegate others to do
these things-from feeding to
drilling his army.
His job is to keep this big Ameri-
can military machine over here
running smoothly and effectively.
The least slip-up on the part OF
any one of hundreds of Gen. PERISH
ing's subordinates is apt to throw
the whole machine out OF gear. And
in times of actual war that means
loss of life.
In an army. like in any other or
ganization. there are always to be
found some men who are lazy,
others who are incompetent, others
who procrastInate and others who
The Washington herald., 1918-03-09

are in the service for social reasons
Now. these are the types that
feel the Iron discipline" of Gen.
Pershing.
He frankly declares he has no
use for any man who isn't over
here strictly on business. He
doesn't and won't have the other
kind around them. When he finds
them he is a terror to them. Many
Of them. under his methods. get
busy and make themselves useful;
while those who can't be made to
do their duty get the gate" which
means, they are either kicked out
OF the army or are sent back to
America.

MAN MUST DO HIS 100 PER CENT
DUTY. EXCUSES AND ALIBIS
DON'T DO AND ARE NOT ACCEPT
ED.
II the food supply Of a certain out
fit runs low, whose fault is 1t? Gen.
Pershing insists on knowing. 1t was
the fault of the motor truck transpor-
tation. Then where's the officer who
Is responsible for keeping the trucks
running?
Under Gen. Pershing. the first Of
fense for lax methods gets a repri-
mand; the second offense a sitter
reprimand and a warning; and II the

ANNAPOLIS DESIRES
time ON DRY ORDER
Saloonkeepers Seek Period for Dis
posal of Wet Goods.

Annapolis. Md, March S-Proprle-
tors of the various saloons in An
napols in particular and people OF
the city generally are still very much
exercised over the order of Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels to place
Annapolis dry" along with several
other naval training stations, espe-
cially on the point as to when the
edict will become effective.
Not only are the saloonkeepers on
the alert, but a decided interest from
a general standpoint Is manifest
Proprietors Of the emporiums feel that
they are justly entitled to a stay Of
time in which to dispose of the stock
of goods they have on hand and
otherwise adjust their business af-
fairs. and in other words, they assert
they should be given at least until
May !, which is the date upon which
their annual license expires.
This request has been made to Soc
retary Daniels by committee of the
Liquor Dealers Association OF the
city and it is also being pushed by
Sydney f. Mudd, who represents this
district in Congress. That Annapo-
lis will suffer materially in a finan-
cial way when the dry order becomes
operative was the statement made by
Mayor James F. Strange today fol-
lowing a careful study of the situa-
tion,
He pointed out among other things
the fact that their city will lose be-
tween $4,000 and $11,OoO in revenue
from licenses and that this coupled
with other eXgencie3 that may de-
velop as a result of the new assess
ment laws will mean an increase in
the tax rate Of 20 cents and perhaps

OF HUN CRUELTIES
Gen. March Says Information Re-
flutes Barbarism on Prisoners.

No information OF atrocities prac-
ticed by the Germans against Amer
loan prisoners has reached the War
Department. This was officially
stated by Maj. Gen. Peyton C..
March, chief of stan, last night.
Gen. March said the army author
tiles are fully acquainted with the
treatment accorded American SOL
diers captured by the enemy. This
information comes through the Red
Gross and other sources.
The attention of the War Depart
ment was called to reports of Amer
ican soldiers having had their eyes
gouged out and their bodies other
wise horribly mutilated. II such re-
ports are true, the War Department
believes, they involve only isolated
instances of brutality.
