General Pershing in France

Hamilton Holt in the Independent
Everywhere I went inquired
about General Pershing's ability.
l heard nothing but universal
praise of his tact, discretion, judg-
ment and force.
He is evidently an organizer and
statesman of first rate ability as
we'll as real military leader.
One or two people told me that he
was working too hard and too many
details were put UP to him by his
subordinates for decision, but he
hardly looked like man who was
allowing himself to be overburdened
by the strain of petty details.

A BOUT seven months ago, when
~ the cavalry began to arrive in
Europe, fresh from the dis
agreeable work along the border and
in Mexico, every man was eager for
the required training in order to get
at 'em. After visiting numerous
rest" camps and incidentally help
ing along with the stevedore task, 1t
was learned that "for the present
only" the cavalry would do remount
duty.
If anyone, during the day or night,
would like to see thousands of stub
born mules and horses extracted
from a transport, or see men on
foot, sweating blood in sunny France,
leading these same animals miles to
the remount depots which they them
selves have established, and then OBJ
serve the men with the yellow hat
cords, or cross-saber collar insignia,
loading long trains with animals,
after which, when bound for the
front, each endeavors to sleep on a

Noise Isn't What Counts

Because half a dozen grasshop-
pers under fern make the field
ring with. their importune chink
whilst thousands of great cattle re-
pose beneath the shadow of the
British oak, chew the cud and are
silent, pray do not imagine that those
who make the noise are the only
inhabitants CT the field; that OF
course they are many in number; or
that after ell. they are other than
the little shrivelled, meager. hopping,
though loud and troublesome insects
of the hour.-Edmund Burke.

HEROES DAY
NT AYOR HYLAN, of New York,
lV has issued proclamation

NT AYOR HYLAN. of New York,
W has issued proclamation
setting aside September 1 as
Heroes Day, when the city will
honor the men whom it has sent to
battle, as we'll as hold services for
those who have fallen or who have
died in the service.
This is n proper recognition and
ought to be extended to other cities.
We do honor to ourselves when we
pay tribute to the bravery and hardi-
hood of our soldiers in France. In
our hearts we do this every hour of
the day, but public acknowledge
ment would be encouraging to the
men abroad and would help keep up
the morale at home.
