that the ultimate capture Of Villa was
prevented only by recall orders from
Washington where the authorities de-
cided that they were unwilling to con-
tinue a military policy seeming
certain to involve the United States in
regular war with Mexico.
When Pershing was chosen to COM
mand the American forces IN France,
he took with him, many of the Drowned
and hardened veterans of his Mexican
campaign and these men formed the
nucleus of the famous First division
of the American expeditionary force.
Terrible Tragedy OF His Life.
A terrible tragedy had come into
Pershing's life during his Mexican
border service thru the loss of his wife
and three of their little children who
were burned to death in their home
at the Preside, in San Francisco, dur
ing his absence. His life became hard
however, but in the regimen he i'm
posed upon himself and in the objects
he had marked for attainment He
threw himself into his work with
passion that commanded success evil
IDENTIFY seeking relief from his private
grief in public service. 1t was said of
him in France that he was never
tired; he could be called upon any
hour out of the twenty-four for con-
sultation or direction without COM
plant on his part. in contrast with
some of his famous colleagues in the
entente armies.
Co-operatcd With Foch.
Pershing believed in teamwork: he
knew that whatever success the Ger
mans had attained was thru their uni
fled command of the armies of the
central powers. So he was not only
willing but anxious to see the same
principle adopted by the entente
armies. He sank his private ambitions
and freely rendered the services of the
last American soldier and all his army
equipment to General Foch at the most
critical point in the campaign. There
is said to be no doubt that his example
affected the other commands and went
a long way towards bringing about the
notification of the entente armies I'M
der Marshal Foch.
1t was not until Pershing was GER
tain that the plans he had made with
the assistance of his own staff for a
successful campaign into Alsace-Lor-
raine had behind them the support of
a sufficient number of American SOL
diers that Pershing felt justified in
taking complete command of an i'm
portant sector of the line of battle
with the full assent of Marshal Foch
and with the result that the American
army broke the morale of the Ger
mans and brought the war to an end.
For what he did in Europe PERISH
ing has been praised beyond measure
by the greatest rulers and soldiers of
the world who have been glad to well
come him and press his hand.

Representatives From Over the
State VIII Be in City.

Members of the Kansas public util-

Tuesday concerning permanent estab-
hshment of the Burleson telephone
rates in 76 towns OF this state served
by the Southwestern Bell company.
Many prominent officials, as well as
the Bell company, will come to To-
peka to tell the commission of the
needs for additional revenues.
The hearing which starts Tuesday
morning in the state house concerns
the BurlesOn local and extension rates.
Service and installation charges will
be considered by the commission at
hearing starting September "a. All
of the Burleson rates were placed in
operation while the wire service was
under government control.
Same Old High Cost.
Applications of the Bell company
for continuance of the Burleson rates
are based on increased cost of opera
ton and the high cost of materials
and equipment. Witnesses to be
called before the commission will
show approximate revenues to be re-
ceived under the new order, as well as
records of returns during the time the
rates have been in effect. They will
also give figures showing returns to
the company under old and new rates.
Pay rolls, equipment expenses and
other items will be called to the atten-
ton of the commission in the request
for more revenue.
1t is probable the hearing will con-
tinue several days. Representatives
from a number of towns and cities
served by the Bell company will come
to Topeka TO testify in the case or to
inquire of company witnesses as to
local conditions.
