war And they didn't do II for a

because American .ives had been lost.

In the City club address just as IN
his speech at aisht. Mr. Johnson
covered the same ground previously
touched unon by him at Chicago an
Indianapolis He detailed again his
answer TO the presidents assertion
that delaying the treaty will mean
continuance OF the high cost Of liN-
ing He again went into what ne
termed the supreme infanly of
compelling the United States
through the covenant, TO underwrits
for all time the territorial grabs and
the frauds arranged for in secret
treaties by England. Japan, France
and Italy"
DO you know WHY the president
finds it necessary to hurry through
this treaty and acceptance of his
covenant" he asked. Because his
European conferees are anxious ~

General Pershing achieved victory
today when he reached Washington
and broke through the tenlperamental
r,gidity of the nations capital.
The spontaneous enthusiasm which
Lis appearance aroused was OF an eAu-
berant character such as the capital
as not seen in many day.
Not only was General Pershing re-
ceieved with tremendous cheering at
the Union station but on his way TO
His hotel, crowds OF men and women
ran after mis- automobile, shouting
their greetings.

Pershing and who was disappointed,
greeted the returning hero al Hotel

rediately afterward
The warmth OF his reception was
reflected In the freedom and cordially
with which General Pershing met and
IL liked to the newspaper men in his
rooms at the shoreham shortly after
the arrival
The general said he wanted TO meet
each man and as he did SO. he asked
what paper was represented. When
St Louis was mentioned, he said with
9 quick smile:
"Oh that is close to home
General Pershing was asked when
ne had expected the war would close,
He re lied.
There were some who said they
knew the war would close in 1918.
That was absurd We were planning
on CdTTylNE the war tHIOUSu iJle iAd
into 1920 That was the consensus OF
opinion of all the allies.
Then 1870 was the limit"
mo, the limit was victory" said
General Pershing.
General Pershing evinced no irrita-
ton at several leading questions which
we're asked. although he begged OF
from answering some.
Even when 1t was suggested that he
might be called upon to lead another
expedition to Mexico he said promptly
that he could no. say as TO that and
then quickly added:
Il arm ready at any thine to do any
thing that my government wants me
to do"
At the outset OF the interview 1t was
recalled to General Pershing that
to-day was the anniversary OF the
opening OF the battle Of St. Mihiel In
France. much different day than
that a year ago" he observed.
