pERSHING STAND.
:. IS UPHELD HERE.
Army Officers Say General
(. Gave Congressman Les .
son in Manners.

A lesson In good manners was
taught the House subcommittee in
vestigating War DeArtment expendi-
lures when 1t sought to utilize Gen.
Pershing on his last day in Europe as
a witness. This is the opinion OF army
officers here who declare that PERISH
ing acted correctly when he refused
to appear before the subcommittee
in Paris.
Many of the high officers think II
was even indecent" for the sub
committee to summon him under the
circumstances-when he lacked files
and records and was bidding a hasty
adieu to his friends IN France, and
they likewise think that nothing that
he said or did warranted the charge
Of Representative Bland that the
generals declination was concrete
proof Of the Indifference of the War
Department to the wishes of the
people"
Summoning Pershing as a witness
on the day OF his departure was al
most as appropriate, they say. as
calling a man as an all-day witness
in court on his wedding ey. The
army men declare that the reasons
given by the commander-in-chi OF
the American Expeditionary Forces
for his refusal to appear were good
and sufficient.
The War Department is willing that
Gen. Pershing appear before the
Congressional committee, with REQ
ords. upon his return to the United
States. The records will be available
possibly before the general reaches
Washington.
The most important OF the allesa-
tions to which the general is ex-
pected to reply is that attacks were
made by Americans on German troops
the day after the armistice was
signed, which stan officers here brand
as untrue

Sermons Heard In Washington Churches

II Doth sides are really seeking a
just settlement-then the precepts
OF Christ must be followed through
out the settlement-and we are
then on the road to Industrial
tranquility and peace"
The Unwritten Life Of Jesus"
was the subject of DR.. T. e, Davis,
of the Westminster Memorial Pres
byterian Church, for his morning
sermon yesterday. Using as his
text John 21:24, There are also
many other things which Jesus
did," DR.. Davis said:
-John has written the most COM
plete life of Jesus. He was the
closest to him-the disciple whom
Jesus loved. and in his gospel we
ter.
written; the historian who writes
your life will not tell 1t all. No
man could write all about Jesus,
for no man could understand Him.
The motives that inspired His
great life no man could know. All
the recorded words that Jesus
spoke can De reau IN tnree nOurS.
All His miracles of which we have
knowledge can be printed on one
sheet of foolscap. And yet for
three years and six months He was
preaching and healing.
The greatest and best part OF
every human life is unwritten. The
best part of every man cannot be
read. You do not know the men
and women with whom you are the
most intimate. We are smoothing
more than what the world knows
OF us.
We cannot deceive God IN re-
gard to what we are. No beautiful
history held before the Divine eye
will be His basis of judgment. No
need to say. Lord. see what 1 have
done-the money I have given. the
burdens I have lifted If our char
acter is false and deceitful. God
Who looketh onIthe heart may say.
7 know you not
I'VE should not be so anxious
about what men see and know OF
US, but should be anxious about
what God sees and knows-for He
looketh upon the heart"

High School Cadet
Must Explain Absence
to His Conmandant

Military training in the Council
Bluffs High school is to be compul-
sorry in fact as we'll as name. Boys
who show disposition to neglect
their military duties will have their
attention sharply called TO the mat
ter, and continued negligence will
result in expulsion from the school.
"A repremanding system has been
devised and will go into operation
today. Several thousand cards were
delivered to the high school authori-
ties Saturday afternoon. When a
boy is absent from drill without be-
ing excused white card is sent to
him, marked first notice" 1t noti-
fies him that a second unexcused
absence from drill will result in the
matter being taken up with the prin-
cipal. The cadet must write in the
cause of his absence and return the
card to the commandant.
A second unexcused absence
brings fiery tinted card, and before
he can take his place in his high
school work the boy must take the
card to the principal and get square
by making valid explanation. No
provision is made for a third card,
for a third unexcused absence means
dismissal from the school
The high school boys are entering
enthusiastically into the real spirit
of the training, and the only abb
sences are due to boyish carelessness
