YANKS RAGE AT
CHARGE PERSHING
NEVER RAN RISKS

PARIS, Nov 20-The bare publica
ton of Representative Sherwood's in
timations that General Pershing never
was under fire has aroused storm OF
protest among the American forces in
France and on the Rhine. Yanks who
fought at the Somme, on the Marine, in
Picardy, Champagne, Lorraine, and AL
SAGE denounced these intimations as
despicable and explainable only by Mr..
Sherwood's biography, which gives his
age as "a and this they say, suggests
the only possible excuse is his senil-
ity.
General Pershing was under fire not
only in all the battles participated in
by American troops, but even before
the arrival Of the Yanks he had ira
yersed the French, English. and Belgi-
an front lines during offensive actions.
It was continually the fear of the staff
that he would be wounded or killed be-
cause of his fearlessness.
Thousands in the A. e. f. talked
with General Pershing on the firing line
and in the first line trenches. Soldiers
who have lived where the guns roared
for several years deplore the Sherwood
outburst and look upon it as charac
teristic political bombast originating
600 miles from real action.

Thrill of Doina Things.

Life is made up OF trials and sat
Isfactions. The one Is to keep up your
muscle, and the other is to keep up
your morale. The one sets tasks that
try the hbers OF your nature; the
ether bestows the mental laurel that
marks consciously won victory. The
whole process begets thrills that en-
hances ideas Of achievement. The
very idea Of doing seems TO carry with
II the sense Of worth and fitness In
stead of feeling yourself driven by
the stress Of compulsion You feel like
an explorer In new regions. Each
thing done adds to the Joy Of doing
as II brings facility and smoothness
of operation. The sum OF things at
tempted and finished tells story of
Joy known only to the fellow who has
felt the thrill of doing things.
The biggest challenge to the healthy
man Is the chance TO do.
