Other Generals of
The american Staff

When one thinks Of the American
army the two men that como to mind
after Pershing are Bullard and Lig-
gett. Bullard represents the student
type, and, in fact, the characteristic
which chiefly distinguishes American
officers from the British and the
French is that many of them look
like college professors.
The Germans seem to think man
cannot be a good commanding officer
unless he looks like an animal with a
meaty face and with scowls that
never come off. If the nature of the
German officers is reflected by their
appearance I pity the soldiers whom
they rule! On the other hand, the
face of General Bullard has some
thing OF the refinement of Joseph Fl.

Is a very different type of man.
General Brown is not a product Of

who, after receiving his degree in
1892, Immediately enlisted as a pri-
vate in the artillery, was rapidly
promoted, saw much lively service
in the Philippines and is now the
head of general headquarters at
Treves, in Germany.
He came up for my sitting from
Paris to Treves in his own automo-
bile, which had had eight punctures
on the way, and the generals indig-
nant recital of these adventures gave
me an entirely new understanding of
the resources Of the English Ian
guage.

aroused his wrath was the fact that
it was his own automobile that had

Every line Of his face, and I have
seldom seen face moro deeply fur
rowed, showed the tremendous strain
through which he had passed. The
Argonne offensive had ended in
glorious triumph for the American
arms, but the man who had directed
that operation showed, in his deep
set, harassed eyes and in his
sharply drawn face the suffering and
the anxiety which 1t had caused him.
Do not think that Pcrshing is a
soldier Of fintlike soul, who stol-
Idly would throw his thousands of
American boys at German machine
guns; the man whom I painted that
afternoon was man who had
sounded the depths. His face at this
sitting was a bit screwed up, the
lines were accentuated. and he looked
old and tired; he did not smile once
during the entire pose, and he talked
hardly at all.
