 These men tell many incidents of General Pershing's stay on the bor- der and in Mexico as illustrations of his regard for his men and for the service.

General Pershing lectured the mule driver, forced him to tighten the load, daftly swung the team around onto the high road.
 Again he reprimanded a Colonel who forced his men to march all day with 60 pound field pack when empty motor trucks were passing all day enroute to the same destinn- tion.
 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 emptv trucks if trucks are pass, ing. Neither do l."
 A camp sutler at Colonia Dublan smuggled in an automobile load of bad whiskey. After disposing of his stock, the man appeared at General Pershing's headquarters to ask for a pass back to the border. He got the pass as free ride as prisoner and was forced to dig latrines and repair roads enroute.
 The announcement that General Pershing had adopted two French orphans recalled a flood of tender memories to friends of General Per shing on the border for it 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.
