AMERICAN DOUGHBOY
WORLDS BEST FIGHTEI


New York, Sept. 8.--The American
doughboy is the finest soldier in the
world and it did not take the Germans
long to find it out" declared Gen.
Pershing in an interview granted
newspaper men today at the Waldorf
Astoria.
eve boasted little, probably, of
the peculiar qualities of the American
fighting man, but his aggresslveness,
initiative and devotion as member
Of the American EXpcditionary Forces
gives us every right to boast and to
be proud Of him. the commander said
"I suppose it is because Of the way
the American boy is raised due to the
fact that he is encouraged to develop
his initiative and that he feels at any
crisis of his life that he is master Of
his own destiny"
The interview, brought about in the
hope that the general might be will
ing to express his views upon such
subjects as the league Of nations, the
situation in Europe and in Mexico,
what he intended doing when he en-
tered civil life, when he expected to
retire from the army and similar Ques
tions, was preceded by a general hand
shaking all around and a remark by
Gen. Pershing that all such topics
were taboo"
81 am still on duty" he said. at
Il l,,+,,
GUS" The general had just finished
luncheon after little rest to refresh
himself after the ardu0us hours of the
morning and he said that while he
was glad to meet all the newspaper
men he could only answer su"h ques-
tions as properly came within the
range of his profession.
The question was asked:
General, what do you consicdr the
crowning achievement Of your scrv-
i've abroad ?" to which he heplied:
"Cuttng the German lines at Sedan
on November g."
"Was that a more difficult operation
than cutting the Hindenburg line 2"
he was asked.
NCutting the Hindcnburg line was d
start toward cutting the line at Sedan
1t was hard to tell what might have
become Of it under different circum-
stances. 1t followed the final effort of
the Germans to force their way
through but their armies were beaten
before they started"
"Gcncral will you say few words
about Marshal Foch ?"
"Marshal Foch,' he replied appreci-
atively, "is a very great strategist."

ended with the killing of Harry Stokes,
prominent local attorney, is the ru-
mofed and practically assured custer
suit to be brought against Mayor Will
liam Gupton and other city officials at
a near date.
Some weeks ago Judge ], d. b. De-
Bow, Or. J, d. McAlister, formerly of
the Tennessee Antisaloon league. and
others versed in the POLITICAL affairs of
Nashville, brought a number of detec-
tives here for the purpose of securing
evidence on the sale Of bootleg liquor
in Nashville and also to shadow Mayor
dupton and Chief of Police Barthell.
Federal authorities suddenly put an end
to the operation of the stool pigeons
by nahbing some Of the alleged ''op-
eratives," who were charged with trans
porting liquor in violation of the law.
Their followed the custer talk, which
Is fairly well authenticated at present.
Mayor Gupton is defiant in his atti-
tude toward the "probers," whose latest
act was to send a delegation Of depu-
books and financial records Of Judge
Madison Wells, of the city police court
This examination is still in progress,
