HOW PERsHING WAS CHOSEN.


When Secretary Of War Baker was
in Chattanooga last Saturday he told
for perhaps the first time the circum-
stances attending the selection of
General Pershing to command the
American forces in Europe. 1t was
while en- route to Chickamauga park
that the secretary told the story.
when we got into the war;" said
the secretary. sit became necessary
to select the commander of the army
the United States was to send to
France, and upon me devolVed the
selection. l had the department fur
nish me with all the records of the
general officers of the army. l sat
up all night going over those records,
and long after day dawned had, by a
process of elimination, made my Sc
lection. That morning l sent for
General Scott. who was then chief of
staff; the general promptly came to
my office and | announced to him
that l had made my selection of COM
mander of the American expedition
to France.
Who is it?' asked General Scott,
with a. note of anticipation in his
voice.
General Pershng replied.
with a sort Of gulping in the throat
the general congratulated me on the
choice and said, good old soldier that
he was, that better one could not
have been made.
General Scott may have thought
that he would be selected, but as ne
was within four months of the retir-
ing age, that was impossible. as /
was determined that the man who
went over first in command was to
continue, provided he proved capable.
THAT afternoon / went over to the
White House to make the president
acquainted with my action. l told
the president that / had selected the
general to command our forces in
Europe
"Who is it?' asked the president.
General Pershing,' l replied
DO you know him?' queried the
president.
4 never met and to the best of
my knowledge never saw him in my
life was my answer
"The president then asked how
came TO make the selection and I
told him my process.
Very well. said the president IF
you are satisfied you have made the
best possible selection, appoint him
and I will back you up"
And that is how General Pershing
happened to be selected as COM
mander-in-chief of the American ex-
peditionary forces in the European
war.

RESTRICTED OUTPUT,

The views expressed il Washington
by II. II. Westinghouse. that the main
cause of all our present trouble is
restricted output, which is, he ex-
planned, only the other name for lack
of production. are not different from
those of all competent observers. The
hesitation in applying a cure is not
because we don't know what is wrong,
but what to do to make change.
Taking the words of Mr.. Westing-
house as a starting point it would
seem too plain to require discussion
that if restricted output is the cause
of the trouble, the way to get rid of
the difficulty would be to Danish the
restriction.
The way to remove a restriction is
to remove it.
The way to produce is to produce
but how are we to get the production?
That, after all, is the real problem;
not finding that we are suffering from
the effects Of restricted output What
everybody wants to know, is how we
are to gain in production. Can Mr.
Westinghouse or any other man
prominent in industry tell us?
Just as obviously production can
not and will not be increased unless
the case for it is made so strong and
so clear that there will be unanimous
consent. Nothing will come from
merely citing that well-informed men
are convinced that if we can get a
heavy production all the trouble will
come to an end. What is needed is
to convince the men that produce
that If they will increase their output
everything will be all right What is
convince them? Who will do the
converting?
On the other hand, producers point
to the fact that there never was such
heavy output as during the last few
years, and that as production grow
the difficulties increased. The answer
to that is that the extraordinary ex-
pansion of currency, caused by war
necessities, explains why with pro-
duction at phenomenal heights prices
were never so high and the dollar
never so little.
But the real problem is--how are
we going to get the heavy production
said to be needed 20 unscramble the
situation? What is to be offered the
producers to get them to work harder
TO bring the result? That is the an
swer that is needed.
Will it come only through a finan-
cial panic. crop failures and decrease
of money bringing business bank
ruptcy, industrial stagnation and hun
ger, compelling people to stop spend
ing and get back to intensive labor
and economy?

WAR THROUGH WORK.

The German Federation of Trades
Unions numbers 6.500.000 members.
1t is reported that there is a move
ment on foot among them to agree to
a 1O-hour day in Industries, in order
tc increase production and rebuild
the trade lost in Europe and in Am
erica, where shorter hours and higher
wages prevail.
Nothing but protective tariff can
prevent European goods coming in
quantities, in competition with home
products, that are costing more to
make under shorter hours and ad-
vanced wages.
The Germans have not yet picked
up their normal gait. They are up
against poverty. high taxes. heavy
debts and to live must work harder
than ever before. The manufacturers
of that country must get labor as
cheaply as possible, in order to under
sell in foreign markets.
Germany Is down but not out--the
war is to be one in which work will
be the ammunition used by Germans
against competition, here and in other
lands.
That men seeking better wages and
shorter hours will also pour into the
United States, from all the European
lands, unless restrictions upon immi-
grafton be imposed is certain.
Albuquerque morning journal., 1919-10-31

The country was in a devastated
condition owing to the war, and only
where we had been in occupation for
some time was there any approach
to order. Some of the inhabitants
had deliberately left in the van of the
retreating Russians; others had been
taken with them. Numbers of these
had hidden themselves in the depths
of the forests and now returned home.
Many properties, however, remain
ed unoccupied. The harvest had not
been reaped, and it is was impossible
to imagine how cultivation was to
be continued. There was no control.
The Russian government officials,
judges, administrative authorities and
nearly all secret intelligence agents
had left the country. There were
neither gendarmerie nor police, and
the priests alone possessed a remnant
of authority
This denuded country had to live
somehow. At the very outset of our
occupation of Wilma, Kovno and Grod-
no serious difficulties arose in COM
nection with the feeding of the pop
ulation. and these difficulties threat
ened to increase and spread to other
towns. There was also shortage of
wood and fuel.
The population, apart from the Ger
man portion, held aloof from u.s. The
German districts, especially the Balts,
had welcomed our troops. The Let's
were opportunists and awaited events.
The Iithuanians believed the hour of
deliverance was at hand. and when
the good times they anticipated did
not materialiZe. owing to the cruel
eXigencies of war, they became sus-
picious once more and turned against
us.
The Poles were hostile, as they
feared, quite justifiably, a pro-Lithu-
anian policy on our part The White
Ruthenians We're of no account, as the
Poles had robbed them of their ma
tionality and given nothing in return.
In the autumn of 1915 l thought |
would like to obtain some idea of the
distribution of this race. At first they
Were, literally, not to be found Sub
sequently We discovered they We're a
widely people, apparently of
Polish origin, but with such low
standard of civilization that much
time would be required before we
could do anything with them.
The Jew did not know what atti-
tude to adopt. but he gave us no
trouble, and we were at least able to
converse with him, which was hardly
possible with the Poles, Iithuanians
and Let's.
The language difficulties weighed
heavily against us. and cannot be
over estimated. Owing to the dearth
of German works of reference on the
subject. we knew very little about the
country or the people, and found our
selves in strange world.
Scheme to Exploit the Lands to
Help Germany Win the War.
In region as large as East and
West Prussia, Pomerania and Posen
together we were faced with an APP
palling task. We had to construct and
organize everything fresh. The first
thing to be done was to secure peace
and order behind the army and put
an end to espionage.
The land must be made self-sup-
porting, and further supply the army
and our people at home. 1t had also
to contribute to the equipment Of
troops and our requirements in war
material Our economic conditions.

due to the enemy blockade, made this
course an imperative duty.
Agriculture had to be taken in hand
as soon as possible. The time for the
solution of political problems was not
yet at hand. These matters We're
handed over to the inspectors of the
lines of communication who were
primarily concerned with the admin
istration of occupied territories.
These officers were given the duty
of maintaining order in the country.
The lines of communication troops
were at their disposal for this purpose
and in the work of counter-espionage
the field police rendered assistance.
Full Control BY the Army.
The inspectors of the lines of COM
munication were given special organ
izations for the administration of the
district. These were under a chief
administrator, who was given special
duties and was responsible to his par
ttcular inspector of communications.
The commandants on the lines of
communication and the administrative
bodies were subordinate to the au-
thority of the inspectors. Cause of
friction, of course, there were. and
was bound to arise. However, thanks
to our excellent inspectors, all these
difficulties We're eventually overcome.
In the area under the control of
the commander-in-ch in the east
administrative and economic ques-
tions We're studied and dealt with by a
special department. There was no
scope for a general government, quite
apart from the fact that it would have
been a useless piece of machinery.
The armies required their own lines
of communication area. The quarter
master general was busy In the west,
and unable to give sufficient attention
to affairs in the east. The latter had
to take matters into his own hands
The inspectors were responsible for
the execution of any order issued by
him. apart from their own particular
duties.
Had n Reliable Body.
Owing to the absence of any native
administrative or legal machinery our
administration had a character of it's
own, which enabled it to withstand
the storms of the revolution in Ne
yember. 1918.
Gle refers to the organization which
has given the supreme council in
Paris so much trouble. This Baltic
organization had played now with
one faction and now with another, all
the while trying to Germanize the
Baltic lands. Its plottings caused the
threat to enforce the blockade against
Germany if the intrigue did not cease
and the German troops withdraw
The Baltic lands have also recently
been a gathering place for German
monarchists)
At the end of October the first
thing to be done was to introduce our
administration into the newly occu-
pied portions of the lines of commu-
nicauon area, as had already been
done in the western portions. A belt
of territory along the front remained
the operations zone, under the direct
control of the army commands.
The var Gus lines of communication
areas had adopted different methods,
/ 1T centra'ization was imperative, as
otherwise 1t would be very difficult to
supervise the administrative machin-
cry. This had to be done with tact
and caution, or We should do more
harm than good. N71N

The attorney-general does not state
whether officials who called the
strike will be prosecuted. The emer-
gency calls for action for welfare OF
the nation, and still having the au-
thority, the administration will ex-
ercise it.
Prosecutions can wait or be not
undertaken, but the wheels must be
kept going. That is the vital need of
the country, Congress will supply
funds and stand back of the officials
in all efforts TO prevent stoppage OF
industry and the prevention of suf-
fering. Negotiations can go on be-
tween miners and operators at any
time, and contract disputes be ad-
justed now or when agreements are
decided to be terminable.
The country is mainly concerned in
securing fuel and having railways
haul food and other supplies, Like
wise in having the government pre-
vent increased charges for fuel, by
renewing a maximum price during
the strike emergency and by insuring
coal production.
