cause his services were more impor-

for Washington and the next day served
this ultlmatum on the bureau chiefs:

KEEP PERSHING OUT OF The SCRAP
WITH SPAIN? NOT If HE KNEW III?

I he commanded more men. The COM
manding general Of the islands saw that
Pershing was the man for the job, so
painlessly and noiselessly. he so ar
ranged It that Pershng's superior off,
GERS were temporarily detached from
their commands and assigned to less
hazardous duties.
"Pershing as a captain, became COM
mander OF all the troops in the Min
danao district. He should have had
the stars Of brigadier general on his
shoulders.
"As a Philippine fighter. Pershing
tried to attain the ends Of paciflcation
with just as little bloodshed as posi-
BILE. But he never hesitated to use
plenty of three-inch guns when they
were necessary. The savages saw that
they had an iron man to deal with
and the native chiefs, one by one, came
in and surrendered to him.
After they had agreed to behave
themselves he treated them with so
much justice and kindness, cleaned up
their villages and paved the way for
schools and law and order that they
turned in and elected him a native CHIEF
the highest honor they could pay
foreigner"
Pershing did his work in the Philip
pines so thoroughly and with so much
satisfaction TO the Washington govern
ment that he came under the personal
notice Of President Roosevelt.
Though he had only the grade Of
captain, he was performing duties ami
had responsibilities which should nor
mally fall on a general officer Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in recognition Of this,
appointed him a brigadier general.
A howl went up against jumping
Pershing from a captain to brigadier
general and Roosevelt was accused OF
being influenced by the fact that
Pershing's father-in-law was an inhu-
entail United States Senator-Senator
Warren Of Wyoming
But Roosevelt silenced his critics with
this statement:
TO make a man q brigadier general
because his father-in-law is a United
States Senator would be infamy but 10
decline TO make him a brigadier general
for that reason would be greater in
fanny"
The fact remains that the one man
who stands out from all others as
having delivered the goods" in the
Philippines was General Pershing.
The Taft administration recognized
Pershing's worth as military chief and
sent him back to the Philippines to
command all the United States troops
in the Islands. He came back to Amer
ica just in time for the Mexican border
troubles.

eral Pershing will appear in THE

holic liquors, including beer, ale and
wine, shall not, either directly or indl-
rectly, be given, sold, served or know
ingly delivered by one person to an

The only exception made is that the
order does not prevent the giving or
serving Of liquor in private homes TO
members Of the family or bona flde
guests; but, unlike the army regula-
tions, 1t cannot be served even in
homes OF oflcers and enlisted men Of

into the barred districts is prohibited.
Outside the fve-mile zone the sale
or gift Of liquor to men in the navy is
prohibited. Although the gift Of liduor
to officers and men IN private homes
outside the flve-mils area Is not pro-
hibited. Mr.. Daniels said he hoped "the
public at large will refrain from offer-
in6 to members Of the naval forces

intoxicating liquor even in private
homes outside the dry zone"

secretary said, large quantities Of high
