HorU General PerShing
Got Name BLACK Jack"

General Pershing's nickname.
"Rlnck Jack" came to him in an
accidental sort of way. after his
splendid record as an Indian fighter
had been won.
He was assigned to the Tenth
Cavalry, the crack negro tnmand,
which afterward won fame in the
rescue of the Rough Riders at the
San Juan blOckhouse in the Span
ish American War. Because he had
commanded black troops, soldiers
called him "Blaek Jack" and the
nickname stuck.

in words the emotions that fill my

of the way in which you have upheld
the traditions of your fOrefathers.
Not only have the young men given

Most wonderful of all is your

BIG WAR BROUGHT
OUT NO CANDIDATE
GEN. WOOD WOULD HAVE SOUGHT
THE PRESIDENCY ANYHOW,
SAY THE POLITICIANS.
PERSHIkG NOT AN ASPIRANT
Officers Who Did Splendid Work In
France Not Mentioned for the Nom-
ination-Their Names Kept Out Of
News Dispatches.
BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

Washington.-Polit In Wash
ington have taken note of the fact.
and are interested in II, that the front
line Of battle in the great worlds war
has produced no candidate for the pres
idency Of the United States. and this
thought takes cognizance Of the truth
that both Generals Leonard Wood and
John J. Pershing are mentioned in
connection with the nomination Of the
Republican party.
So far as one can determine. there IL
no active campaign In behalf of Gen
eral Pershlng, and thus far the poll
ticians seem 10 think he has little
chance OF the nomination. In fact
republicans In Washington Of all kinds
OF views seem To believe that Pershing
will not seek the nomination and that
no active effort will he made in his
behalf.
So far "a Leonard Wood Is con-
cerned the feeling Is that. while he Is
a candidate. his candidacy Is In no
sense a product OF the present war.
Politicians say Woods name would
have been mentioned for the nomina-
ton. more than mentioned, probably.
II there had been no war.
No other war In which the United
States has been engaged has failed
10 produce It's presidential candidate.
Reason for the Condition.
There Is a reason for the failure or
this war 10 produce presidential can
didates. The general officers who
served in France did not come into
close personal touch with their men,
except in the cases OF one or two ma
jor generals. and quite a number Of
brigadier generals. none OF whom. how
ever. have been considered as consti-
tuting presidential timber.
In previous times the soldiers them
selves have not always been the prime
means Of securing honors for their
leaders. The civilians OF the United
States nominated and elected Grant.
Roosevelt's following in the Spanish
war was only that Of regiment. He
was not elected president, ~ course,
immediately on his return from Cuba.
but his record there made him govern
or ~ New York and vice president OF
the United States an office which, OF
course. carried with II the POSSIBLE
ity aud In his case. the certainty OF
his becoming president.
The instant the United States en-
tered the war with Germany the policy
~ the suppression Of the names OF
commanding officers went into effect.
Psrshings name was the only one men
toned except that of the commanding
officer Of the first division which went
