Pact With Italy
Brings Problem
BY AMOS PINCHoT.
Written for the United Press)


Washington. Jan. 31.-The contro-
yersy between Italy and the Jugo-
Slavs growing out of the secret treat
les of the Allies. in which the United
States had no part. is one OF the most
serious menaces to harmonious agree
ment on a peace settlement.
There seems to be no way for Pres
ident Wilson to clear the peace table
OF this embarrassing complication
without first forcing destruction of the
secret. treaties. This can be done
only IL the peoples OF the United
States and the Allied countries under
stand his position and are willing to
back him In this difficult. but seem
ingly necessary undertaking.
The trouble between the Italians
and their new eastern neighbors arises
from the London pact of 1915. Arti-
Gle w says that Italy shall have Istria.
and Article v gives her Dalmatia and
adjacent islands. The Jugo-Slavs con-
tend that Italy has neither political nor
ethnological claims to these terri
tories. and crisis OF extreme delicacy
has been precipitated that already has
warranted some measures of interven-
ton by the other Allies. According
to the census of 1910. the population
of Dalmatia was 645.666. OF these. 1t
is estimated that 10000 are Italians.
The Slay In habitants number approx
imateiy 100000 and only about 10000
of these speak Italian.
The principal reason why Italy
wants Dalmatia is found in the forma-
tion of the littoral. On the Italian
side, the Adriatic Is shallow and sandy.
II is q nice place for children to bafhe.
but is no place for shipping. The
Dalmatian coast. on the other hard, is
broken by bays and CULTS, and fringed
with islands. and almost every mile has
commodious harbor for merchant
vessels or welI-sheltered base for
war ships.
gated to back up Italy's Dalmatian
claims, in spite OF the ne Jugo-Slav
ration. which presumably. until re-
Gently, has also been kept in ignor-
ance of the secret ,treaties. They
pledged themselves to do so In the
treaty of 1915, and II they don't Italy
can seek revenge by opposing French
and British claims in other districts.
For instance, another secret memo
randum provides for the partitioning
OF Arabia between France and Great
Britain. II. at Versailles, France and
Great Britain should balk at the treaty
of 1915, Italy's representatives may
well be expected to protest against the
fulfillment OF the arrangement regard
ing Arabia. and other secret under
standings which are equally important
to them.
One of the claims which Great Brit
ain Is expected to make under the
shadow OF the secret agreements is the
exclusion OF Germany from trade with
China. Another will be an extended
sphere OF influence in Mesopotamia. in
Guiding the worlds richest oil regions.
France and Italy are expected to de-
mand an equal participation with
Great Britain In the division OF Euro
pean Turkey All of these agree
ments are mutual They stand or fall
on the common determination OF the
powers that made them to abide by
them.

Can Wife Hold Money
She Saves Handling
Her Husbands Paw?

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-Has Z
man any interest in the money his
wife saves from his salary and banks
in her own name?
This question is to be decided by
some judge of the superior court in
the divorce case of Margaret Bam-
mann against Henry N. Bammann
officer of local steamship company.
Mrs. Bammann filed suit for d.
vorce some time ago, alleging ex-
IRENE cruelty, the chief allegation
being her husbands alleged secret
pro-German sympathies.
Bammann, in his answer, says the
charge against him is both false and
malicious. He says the family trou-
bic is due to his savings. During
their IS years of married life he says
his wife has banked $3.50, saved
from his wages. The bank account
is in her name. Recently he asked
her for $3.50 to pay the funeral ex-
penses of his father and mother, and
she refused.
Bammann contends that he has a
community interest in the money
inasmuch as he earned it, and he has
asked the court to restrain his wife
from withdrawing it and to award
him an equal share.

They will tell you how, when only
years old, Johnnie received his
baptism of war and bloodshed in a
bushwhacker raid; how he stood
bravely by. never finching, while
two men were shot and killed before
him.
They will tell you how, a little
later, as leader of his gang" he led
storming parties to victory against
- -srtow trenches and forts held by the
other gang"
They will tell you how he learned
to shoot, to swim, to hunt rattle
snakes, "buzzers," he called them
then.
They will tell you of his playtme
and of his studytime, of his tights
and frolics. They will tell you of
the first time he smoked and Of "a

tell you how he trounced a bully.

All these things, and more, they
will tell you, even how he won all

how he came to take the examlna-

talked with those Laclede folks
almost every one of them. They
told me their stories. There were
some of them who were men and
women when John was born-one
who was present when he came into
the world; there were his teachers,
still alive, and his old nurse. Some
of them, naturally, had moved from
Laelede. But I found them and
talked with them. So in Laclede it
is that any story of the generals life
that is true, that seeks facts, must
start. Back, then, with the men,
cries of these old Laclede folks to
serve as a guide, to the Laclede OF
more than half century ago-to the
Laclede of 1889.
First, though. back for a moment
even beyond that time-to Alsace
in l74o, the same Alsace which
General Pershing wrested from the
Hun.
Name Originally Was Pfoerschin.
Records in the possession of Mrs.
Hattie L. Hagar of Okmulgee,
OIL, a second cousin of the gen
eral. show that one Frederick
Pershing a French Huguenot. was
living in Alsace in 1749 only mile
from the Rhine river. The records
establish him as the great-great-
grandfather of the general. This
Frederick Persling came to Amer
lea in l74o, here to multiply his
seed" even as the Bible patriarchs.
His name, the records show. in
174o was "Pfoerschin," which in
French meant silk" and in German
"peach." The, name was later
changed to better suit the English
language and it became "Pershin."
Isaac Pershin, one of the family,
added the final "g." Descendants

She was striving to recall anything
else that may have marked the birth
of the general.
There's one thing comes to my
my mind" she at last resumed. "Ive
been told it was the 18th of Septem-
Der John was born. Seems to me,
though, it was the 18th of January
|. l tell you how l fix that date. l was
married soon after Johns birth to
William Warren. Mr.. and Mrs.
Pershing came to my wedding and
Mrs. Pe-shing brought her baby
with her. AS I remember it she re-
minded me that John was six weeks
old. | remember, too that when l
left the Pershing place the morning
after John was born it was showing.
We don't often have snow here in
September-as early as the 18th"
There are other Laclede persons
who say the general was born on
January Is. Among them is Lean
der Love, who grew up with the
general and went through the
Laclede school with him.
Sisters Say September IS.
Mr.. Love told me, when l called
upon him in Brookfcld, where he
now lives, that he is certain the gen.
eral was born on January Is. 1860.
THE reason l am so sure" Mr..
Love said, "is that l was born on
that day and my folks and the folks
in Laclede often spoke of the fact
that l, John Pershing and Cash
WEIGH were born on the same day.
Cash is dead now. If he weren't.
he'd tell you the same"
Be this as it may, General Perish
ing says he was born on September
Is, 1860. His sisters say the same.
So that day must stand for ali time
as his birthday. There are no rec
ords. Missouri did not keep them In
those days.
