shown much, prior to Americas en-
trance in the war. The trade secrets
were withheld.
But the Pershing insistence upon
the offensive, rather than on the de-
fensive, bore fruit when the American
Army crashed through the German
lines of the Ourcq and the Vesle and
at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne
There is not a particle of doubt that

Rubber Stamps Powerful.

Sometimes they had stamped papers
of one sort or another to present to
the French railroad officials, none of
whom could read English. and each of
whom has been reared from infancy
to believe in the virtue of a smeary
blue stamp. This is the general Euro
pean attitude. There was an Amer
lean Red Cross man in Serbia at the
time the Serbians were refusing to
receive the Austrian paper kroners
unless they had been stamped by
some Serb authorities. who did a land
office business in validating kroners
for his Red Cross friends. BY some
odd chance he had preserved from an
adventure in a previous state of ex-
istance rubber stamp bearing these
words:

mat is perhaps exaggerated, but not
greatly. Most of them wandered in a
spirit of the purest adventure and
sought the nearest outfit when a fight
started. Some had left their own
outhts because they did not like
their oincers or company mates and
had informally Joined others. Some
were scalawags. A band of New York
gunmen infested Meaux during the
fighting on the Vesle, until Lieut..

Many Bona Eide Deserters.

There were good many bona fide
deserters, too. Not many of the men
who ran away from the fighting were
OF the pure American type. A large
proportion of them were of foreign

British and French Plans.

Somehow, a negative thus voiced by
the general usually gets across. 1t
was that way early in 1917 when our
gallant allies had just become pos
sessed of one OF the very best ideas
they had had during the entire war.
The idea was that the American
troops should be used as replace
ments" for the French and British
army. The British idea was that the
Americans should be shuff1ed in
among the British units as individ-
uals. There are even yet Britons who
believe that the United States are a
rebellious but still loyal colony. The
French idea was that our units should
be scattered among the French units.
Both French and English agreed that

Little Glory for Doughboys.

There were weeks when the British
and French got all the glory and the
Americans got all the mud and blood
and fighting. Because of the never
ending thrust by Pershing at the
hinge of the German door in northern
France the German armies in Elan
ders We're withdrawn at racing speed
The only actions fought by the Brit
ish and French were when they
caught up with the stiff German rear
guards. They scooped up thousands
of prisoners who had fought up to
the hour ordered and had then gladly
surrendered. knowing the end of the
war was at hand. The Americans in
the Argonne were making this posi-
Bile. But they were paying for it.
Today the world seems hardly to
know that they did it.
One of the questions which will as
suredly be asked Gen. Pershing is
about the action on November II. The
armistice went into effect at II
o'clock on the morning of that day
Yet at O'Clock in the morning Amer
lean troops attacked along wide
front and continued attacking along
wide front right up to the hour of
IL. So far as 1 know, no statement
of the losses incurred on "armistice
day has ever been given out. That
1T had been a mistake was the as
sumption of the field censors. Capt
Gerald Morgan, then in charge of the
CenSorS, discouraged comment upon it,
The To- ses were certainly heavy. A
major surgeon told me that.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-09-07
Another Question for Pershing.

Another question that Gen. Per-
shing will be asked will be of the
measures taken to enforce Army dis
cipline and of the brutality in the
prison camps. In the bitter feeling
aroused by the disclosures of the more
than Prussian cruelty of certain Off
GERS under the direct command of
Chief Provost Marshal Harris, and of
the humiliating nature of certain
punishments imposed, TIE fact has
been overlooked that stern measures
were needed to enforce obedience to
rules by the young American huskies.
There never was a better fighting
army in the world than the Ameri-
cans-but there never was such an
army for going A. W. o. L.
That abbreviation-presum bly, you
know it means Absent With Out
Leave. The American kids had an
odd attitude toward the war. They
were in France to highland they did
fight when they got the chance-but
between times they wanted to go
sightseeing. They knew they might
never have such a chance again. This
applies to officers as well as men,
and there were times during the lulls
in the fighting when France was
simply speckled by earnest young in
quirers, proceeding on foot, by truck
and by train to points of interest.
They paid no fare. When an enraged
guard sputtered expostulations at
them they merely looked out of the
windows and said:
NO compree."

j ASFORCEFUL MAN
Kept Yank Army Intact and
Beat Huns by Offensive
Fighting.
BY HERBERT COREY.

NEW YORK, September 5.-Right
after his grateful countrymen get
through welcoming Gen. John j.
Pershing they will begin questioning
him. Flowers will be followed by
brickbats. The leader of the Army
that won the final trick in France will
be asked how he did it and who made
the mistakes. And every little while
some lawyerike person will rise to
shake a forefinger at John J., try to
fix him with a keen eye, and will at
tempt to say:
Answer yes or no, witness. Don't
trif1e with the court. And don't you
dare look at the jurymen."
Warning is hereby given that many
good men have tried to look John J.
PerShing in the eye and have failed
to get away with it. There is a sort
of a hypnotic influence in the Perish
ing eye. The longer you look at it
the more convinced do you become
that the weather signals are set for
storm. Persons desiring to question
Gen. Pershing are likewise advised
that he detonateS on even slight jar.
He has habit of leaning across a
table and hammering a brown fist on
the wood and saying and glazing at
the other fellow.
