Made Brigodier Genera!

During the period which fol
lowed closely on Pershing's return
several officers, including Pershing
were jumped" in rank from the
lower grades to brigadier general
ships. Recognition Of their work in
the Philippines was the reason.
From captain, Pershing became
brigadier general, as did Leonard
Wood, j. Franklin Bell, Albert l..
Mills and Frederick Funston.
Following his promotion, Pershing
was sent back to Mindanao to be-
come military and civil governor. He
took the people he had subdued as a
captain and administered their af-
fairs in manner that win lone be
remembered. Among other things,
he established schools for them and
built roads. With him in AIindanao
were many Of the men he brought to
Europe as members Of his staff for
the European war. Major General
Harbord, now returning home with
General Pershing as chief Of staff,
was chief Of the Mindanao constabu
larry. Brigadier General Dennis No
Ian, who returned to WASHINGTON for
duty in the Staff War College re-
Gently, was Pershings adjutant pen-
eral in Mindanao. Lieutenant Gen
erals R. l.. Bullard and Hunter N.ig-
gett and Major General John l..
Hines all held positions subordinate
to Pershing in the Philippines. MANY
others might be cited whom Pershing
chose for their ability and brought
to Europe in the greatest war of all.
When Pershing finished his work

Enoivs 4rn,y IN Detail

Few leaders in war history have
better known the great military
machine they operated in all it's in
finite detail or have superintended
its assembling with more personal
care than has Pershing known and
watched the American Expedition
ary Force in France. Few men have
been called upon to accept greater
military responsibility in ''handpick-
ing" subordinates for colossal tasks
When Major General Pershing
landed at Liverpool on June 8. 1917,
some one of the distinguished British
military men who greeted him point
ed to the forty-odd officers in Persh-
ing's party and queried:
'Is this your personal staff, Gen
eral?"
NO. answered Pershlng, "this is
my general staff"
And to-day, returning home on
the same steamer with Pershing, are
the majority of the forty-odd cap
tains, majors and colonies who
stepped off the liner Baltic at Liv-
erpool more than two years ago.
He "handpicked" them years ago in
the Philippines, and some of them
served under him on the Mexican
border. He took them to Europe as
members of his general staff. They
were captains, majors and colonels
but they are now brigadier and
major generals, and how we'll they
have endured the trust and respon-
sibility is now American history, not
only on the Marne, st. Nlihiel and
Meuse-Argonne, but throughout the
length and breadth of the A. f. F..
for 1T took an able general staff to
direct every move made by that best
composite physical specimen in the
world to-day-the American DOUGH
boy.

Landing Memorable Oue

General Pershing and his general
staff arrived at Boulogne on June
49, 1917, Pershing stepping from
the cross-channel steamer to the
boulogne dock, thus first setting
foot on French soil at 9:4O a. m.
Few who witnessed the scene ever
will forget it. The harbor that
morning brought to those who OBJ
served it the magnitude of the
world war. Within thirty minutes
three hemispheres met. A few
moments before Pershing's ship
arrived a steamer laden to the
rails with coolies from the Far East
was warped into a berth just across
the basin. Then whistles blew and
guns doomed somewhere down the
harbor and hundreds, mostly
French, British and Belgian SOL
diers, knew that the United States
was arriving. Veteran French
poilus stood in line at rigid atten
tion under the roof of the dock
station. Allied flags hung
lazily in the breeze just above their
heads. Pershing's steamer came
slowly into the basin. Grouped on
the forward deck was Pershing and

Then Comes France

Following. the Mexican expedition.
Pershing was sent to For Sam
houston as commander Of the South
ern Department. 1t was there that
he received his orders to proceed
to France. 1t was from there that
within a few hours after the orders
were received, he had sent tele-
grams and cablegrams by al the
four winds, gathering together the
men he planned for his European
staff. What Pershing and his staff
did IN Europe is now matter Of
record.
A soldier to the core. a strict dis
ciplinarian who knows how to see
that his orders are obeyed, Black
jack Pershing is not military
martinez. Not even his most bitter
enemies (and he has a number) Will
say that he wields his power over
subordinates just to see them vince
An Illustration of this lies N the
camaraderie between the general
and his personal aides. a general
may make the life of an aide A
blessing or a misery. The personal
side of General Pershing is delight

father several months ago. If it
Was possible Warren accompanied
ms father everywhere he went in
france and Germany. and during
the strenuous series of troop re-
views held in Germany some months

a familiar figure to war correspond

function.
The commander in chiefs fond
ness for children may be akin TO
the respect and kindness ne habit
ually showed toward American
women welfare workers whenever
he encountered them in Europe. He
seldom failed to stop and chat with
them and or many occasions he went
much out Of his way to homo them.
II he happened to be making
speech to the troops after review,
as ne often did through The Amcri-
can Expeditionary Force during he
spring, and women were present he
would always add some kind re-
marks about the good worl. done
by'American women in France. On
more than one occasion he per-
sonally rounded up the feminine
oniookers and took them with him
on the reviewing stand to see the
troops pass.

has dictated, soldier, and thas IS
exactly what he is.

Npuer An Orator

Pcrshing is not an orator. IL
everything goes, he would be called
a poor speaker. But what he lacks
in word rhythm and verbal emphasis
he makes up with sweeping arm
length, fist-clenched gestures. He
impressed we'll enough on young
virtually untried leaders Of TROOPS
that day that the honor of the en-
tire United States--its honor past,
present and future-and that Of the
American army depended on them
alone
"You are going to meet savage
enemy flushed with victory" he
said in substance "Meet them like
Americans. You are leading men.
Be an inspiration TO them. Let your
deeds inspire them. When you hit,
hit hard and don't stop hitting You
don't know the meaning of the word
defeat. And when you get into il
-. forget all that you've learned
out OF books. Use your heads, and
hit hard
There was no oratory in that
speech. 1t was just good, sound
and raggedly expressed advice. but
If ten wildcats to every man present
had rushed snarling into Chaumont-
en-VlXen at that moment it would
have been a safe wager that said

semble.
The eXultant enemy, however
changed his mind about smashing
through the Mondidier sector. and
after SIX weeks Of "holding on" in
a sector harassed by an average of
10000 German shells a day for
SIX weeks, the 1st Division went
ahead and took Cantigny, the first
French village to be reconouered by
American troops in the European
war.
If General Pershing's parents had
decided on the day of his birth to
train him for the military position
ne holds to-day they could not have
planned better. His father was a
Missouri section foreman, and in
the stratum of life to which young
rershlng belonged as a STRIPPING

The first ten years of Pershine s
military life were spent on the
Western plains. Living in drearv
army posts, fighting and pacifying
Indians, he attracted considerable
attention as a ''shave tail' or sec
ond lieutenant. He handled his pla-
toon of calvary when argument
failed. But, with diplomatic argu-
ment wherever SQssible, among the
redskins he settled many a problem
and saved many All American life.
From the West he went to the
University of Nebraska and while

he took law course, eventually

Coodby Zero
Once battle began, the most i'm
portant feature of staff work
ceased until the troops reached
their objectives or the struggle
took turn not dictated by fixed
plans. Once the guns started to
roar, the Zero hour" had passed
and the boys had gone over the
top, those who planned battles were
licensed to go to bed and gain their
much needed rest.
During the battle of the Ar
gonneMeuse, when the Germans,
lighting with all their fanat;eal
strength to hold American divisions
back from the important strateg-
&c railway to the north, succeeded
in slowing down our advance to !;
marked degree, General Pershine
was a constant visitor in the battle
zones. Rushing from one division
headquarters to another. he watched
the struggle with as much con-
Germ as had characterized his
building up of the organization
then locked in death struggle with
the enemy. On more than one oc-
caslon deep mud and traffic con
gestion behind the lines precluded
passage of the big automobile in
which the commander in chief did
most all his travelling. Once he
had started there was no turning
back, and lowly motorcycle side
car with any stray chauffeur who
happened to be handy "taxied''
the General over shellholes,
through quagmire, into traffic and
out again to his destination. The
big car would wait until he re-
turned.

Met 1T. r. in Cuba

How Pershing first met Colonel
Roosevelt, in Cuba, is a little anec-
dote here told possibly for the
first time. He has been credited
with meeting Colonel Roosevelt in
another way, but one who was near
has told me that it happened like
this:
Pershing was quartermaster and
sdjutant of his regiment. On the
left of the Tenth happened to be the
Rough Riders, commanded by Roose-
welt. Mules were precious property
in Cuba just then and Pershing had
lost two of them. Colonel Roosevelt
also had lost some mules They
both found two mules wandering in
the underbrush, and they found
them at the same time. 1t was in
tensely dark, too dark for variance
IN military rank to make much diff
ference. Roosevelt was sure he had
found his mules and so was Perish
ing. | am informed that the con-
versation which followed there in
the darkness would not, even in
this enlightened age, look pretty in
print. Two strong wills clashed and
a duel Of words was the inevitable
result. Gentlemen seldom resort TO
tisticu1fs, and both Roosevelt and
Pershing were gentlemen. But Gen
eral Pershings fellow officer who
told me the story pointed with some
pride to the fact that Pershing got
the mules.
1t was there in Cuba, TOO. that
Pershing was cited in an official
document for GOODNESS under fire,
the same GOODNESS he has displayed
at times even as commander IN
chief Of American forces in France.
From Cuba he went to the Phil
ipplnes for time and then to
Washington. where he was the first
to organize a Bureau Of lnsular
Affairs. Then he returned to the
Philippines in command of troops
in Mindanao. Here, as on the
Western plains, he argued with the
hostile natives until diplomacy
failed and in that event admins
tered the chastisement they needed.
In both diplomacy and fighting
he performed the task Of disarmine
and subduing the tribesmen so well
that Brigadier General Sumner,
commanding all American forces in
Mindanao in 1900, recommended
him for a brigadier generalship.
The recommendation however, was
not approved and Pershing re-
manned in the Philippines for six
years before he returned to Wash
ington for service on the General
staff.
The Russo-Japanese War gave
Pershng chance to see more Of
the Far East. He was detailed as
military attache to Japan and as
observer with the japanese army in
the field. Upon completion of this
work he returned to the United
States Via Europe.

The conversation was onesided and

spersed rather often with red

Pershing telling a certain chief of
staff that American troops moved
only IN one direction and that was
'forward." 1t would not have been
prudent or fair to have listened too
closely, and whether that certain

his troops to execute a small rear

talked with divisional officers before
an expected action. The famous
1st Division, first in many things
during the war, was the first to
gather its officers about the COM
mander in chief and hear ''before
the battle" lecture. 1t was in the
hectic days of the early spring of
1918 when the eXultant forces of the
Kaiser had crushed British army
and Hooded down across the Picardv
plains through and below the impor-
tant city of Montiidier. French
Colonial tlrallleurs had been rushed
IN to stop the enemy. They had
succeeded, but French attack
against their diminished STRENGTH
was imminent.
Into Picardy
In the emergency the 1st Divi-
sion had been ordered from the
comparatively quiet trenches of the
FOUL sector and rushed by train and
forced marches to Picardy. It was
evident that a bloody battle would
follow. Division Headquarters had
stopped for brief period in the
village of Chaumont-en-Vixen and
the troops were billeted in fields
and villages within radius of a
few miles. Just before orders were
given to advance on the last stage
OF the march a "hurry call" was
issued demanding every officer re-
port at Chaumont-en-V Vixen at =
stated time. Hundreds of officers
including brigadier generals and
colonies, gathered in the ward of
the chateau, where Headquarters
were established, at the appointed
hour. Accompanied by General R
