When Congress cOnferS the perma
nent title of General upon John J.
Pershing he will be the fourth man tc
hold that coveted title in the army ol
the United States. The other three
were Grant, Sheridan and Sherman.
AS the central American figure in
the world war, with the single excep
ton of President Wilson, so much has
been written about Pershing, and his
life and history are so fresh in the
public that it is difficult to tell the
average American anything new
about the man who commanded the
great army on the battlefields oi
Europe.
When some of Pershing's friends
speak of his rise to a position of great
military importance in world annals
they refer to a story quite commonly
told of Charles M. Schwab, the iron
master, who is said to have remarked
to his old Scotch gardener, friend
OF his childhood:
you never expected to see me in
this place did you?"
And the gardener is said to have
replied:
You never expected it yourself"
AS late as the time of the Rus
sia-Japanese war in 1904, Pershing
over 40 still was captain in the reg
ular army. He associates say he new
er grumbled, but always kept plug,
ging at his job. Reams and reams
have been written about how he took
prominent part in the pacification
OF the PHILIPPINE islands and how Pres
ldent Roosevelt made him a brlga'
der general jumping him over the
heads of exactly S62 other men VINO
were senior to him on the service roll
When Pershing took the punitive
expedition to Mexico after the bandit
Villa, he became the only living offl'
Ger in the American army who had
commanded any body of troops SO
large as a brigade in anything ap'
preaching action. 1t is true that the
late General Funston commanded
more than brigade on the Vera
Cruz expedition but Funston's troops
never got into action.
From the time Pershing graduated
from West Point in 1886 he had his
full share of active and valuable SER
vice in the army. Like his class
mates he Immediately was plunged
into the Indian Wars. He entered a
campaign against the great Apacne
chief Geronimo who for many years
had kept the great southwestern
country almost closed to immigration
by his skill and bravery. 1t was in
those campaigns that many of the

ITALIAN DELEGATION Will Be PRESENT
UNITED Press Service,

PARIS, May 6.-Under pres
Ient arrangements the German
delegates to the Peace Confer
ence at Versailles will be hand
ed the official copy of the pro-
posed treaty of peace that is to
be for their use and guidance.
The ceremony will take place'at
the Trianon palace, in the aud
ience chamber.
At the table of the Allies will
be seated Premier Clemenceau,
President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George. The German del
'egates will be seated at another
table in the same chamber.
The German delegates will be
addressed by Premier Clemen-
ceau, and will relieve the terms
of peace that are dictated by the
Allied nations that have been at
war with Germany ever since
August, 1914.
The Italian delegation will ar
rive in time to be present, al
though their absence has tend
ed to eliminate them from con-
sideration in arranging the cere-
lnony. 1t is understood that the
arrangement as made neutral
Lies Fiume for two years, after
which time the city will be Ital-
Jan. In the meantime a new
port will be created on the Dali
l1natian shore for the commerce
Iof Jugo-Slavia. Six German
delegates, three secretaries, with
official stenographers and other
assistants will be admitted with
the Germans, their services be-
ing deemed essential.
After some effort President
Wilson has overcome the efforts
of England and France to con-
duct star chamber ceremony,
and representatives of the press
and the great news gathering
agencies of America will be pres
ent at the ceremony, giving
them full opportunity to- give
full, complete accounts of the
proceedings of the Conference.
1t is reported that Prince Won
Beulow, the German foreign
under the empire, has
expressed himself as sympathiz-
ing with the claims of Italy with
regard to ports and territory on
the east shore of the Adriatic.
HE thinks, evidently, that Italy's
claims are well founded.

COMING TODAY

According to advices received
by the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon from Tue
son, the Liberty Loan Filler had

ing appearance here to Chair

help us get an airplane flight for
Nogales, is indicative of the
broad-minded, whole-hearted CO.

COmD|ete Economic Isolation
Is The Measure Which is
Now Relied Upon to Bring
Her To Time
GERMAN TREATY READY BY JUNE1st.
UNITED Press Service,


PARIS, May 6.-Should Ger
many prove recalcitrant and re.
fuse To sign the peace treaty,
means will be taken to bring her
to her senses and cause her del
egation to affix their official
signatures. The council OF for
eign ministers at the Peace Con-
ference is said to have under
consideration a plan which will
be followed if need demands,
which plan is said to mean COM
plete economic isolation.
According to an official state
ment promulgated today Stephen
Pichon, French foreign minis
ter, was elected today chairman
of the provisional organization
of the League of Nations; Sir
Eric Drummond, of the British,
was elected acting secretary at
a meeting of the peace delegates
last week, and he has entered
upon the duties of that office. In
adopting rules to govern the
temporary organization care was
taken that nothing of a perman-
ent nature shall be done until
ratification of the treaty by the
United States.
Italy's decision to return her
delegates to the conference to
participate in tomorrow's cere-
uonies is the cause of no little
congratulation on the part of
the Allies. Return of the Ital-
ians is considered an evidence of
solidarity among the Allies that
will set at rest at once any hope
the Germans may have enter
tanned of difficulties and friction
between them.
1t is reported possible that
the peace treaty with Germany
will be all finished and signed up
by the first of June and it is
hoped to follow that up with
speedy peace arrangements with
Austria-Hungary, Turkey and
Bulgaria.
Settlement of the Belgian dis
satisfaction is reported also
about to assume shape, much tc
the qualification of all the del
egates.
Plans for PRONUNCIATION of the
text of the treaty seem to have
been changed but slightly, anc
there is considerable anxiety
among the correspondents thai
the text shall be ready to give
