Recognition for General pershing

II EPORT has come from Paris to the effect
N that the President approves a plan
whereby General John j. Pershing is to be
ordered home within few weeks and is to
be made chief of stan of the army. General
Peyton c. March. the present chief Of staff
according to the same report is to be given a
high command in the field. probably to sue
coed General Pershing in command Of what
may at that time remain of the American
expeditionary force.
Moreover, the administration, as is we'll
known, strongly supports the legislation now
pending in Congress providing that General
Pershing and General March be made perma-
nent generals in the army as reward for
the splendid services they rendered the coun-
try and the world during the course Of the
war The country will approve such legisla-
ton. These two officers deserve we'll at the
hands of the nation. They contributed hand
somey to the victory over Germany. the one
In the field and the other at his equally i'm
portant post behind the lines
1t has been the practice of the American
people to bestow political favor on its great
soldiers, but it has not been the practice to
hand over to them vast estates and great
wealth. Great Britain. on the other hand,
confers ornamental titles upon its heroes,
raises them to the peerage and endows them
with riches. 1t does not assume that sue
cessful field commander is necessarily a
statesman or possesses any political promise.
and, as a result, it rarely encourages an Of
hcer. victorious in wars, TO enter the arena
Of politics.
The political future of General Pershing
however is a matter of interesting specula-
ton He is not a magnetic figure. He is
not the kind of man whom his men naturally
shout for. In fact, he has not been in init
mate touch with the rank and file OF the
great army which he organized and whose
operations he directed. Those operations
were too far-f1ung, too complex and too
gigantic for any one man to do more than
plan them from his post in the rear of the
lines. And so it happens that the tens of
thousands Of soldiers who are now returning
TO civil life feel no personal enthusiasm for
General Pershing. Nor do they compose the
backbone of any nationwide movement for
his elevation to the presidency or to any other
office
Even so, General Pershing is man of great
strength. His return to America will be made
the occasion for triumphal reception, and
II he is made chief of staff he will be daily
before the American people. and the country
will get first-hand opportunity TO take his
measure, an opportunity denied them as long
as he remained 5000 miles away
