About Gen. Pershine

kings depart" one man will emerge
in heroic in stature from all the
we tier of the late World War. That
men is General John j. Pershing,
commander of the American Expe-
dictionary Forces
Silent. dignitied efficient and
every inch the soldier, General Per
shing today holds a commanding
position in the hearts of his crate
full countrymen. Toward him the
thoughts and hopes of America
have been projected since April.
1917; now that victory has come
his fame is even greater, because
the whole world loves hero. Gener-
al Persbing is Americas hero.
One of the dominant traits in
Americans is curiosity. More than
10 any other country of the world.
the press in America prizes into the
private lives of American citizens.
The editors of the big metropolitan
dailies are editors of those dailies
simply because of their knowledge
of news values. They know what
the public likes to read. They
know that little story about how
President Wilson approves all pub
lie documents by writing "Okeh" in
stead of %. X" will be read with
greater interest than will a much
more important story about what is
going to happen to Czechoslovakia
These little stories are known in
newspaper vernaculaE as "humon
interest stuff"
The same principles that governs
the big newspaper editors in putting
the human touch into their daily
product ruled William Fox in pro-
DUNG The Land of the Free" the
great photabiography of General
Pershing. With the keen, unerring
vision of the true Snowman, Viii
liam Fox foresaw the position Gener-
al Pershing was going to win in the
affections of Americans; and forth
with reached the decision to put in
TO film form the life story of the
man who some day will come back
to America with all the acclaim
and plaudits that a generous peo-
pie can lavish upon him.
Human interest-that is the
thing that lasts. that reaches every
body. And the big feature of The
Land of the Free" is its gripping,
powerful human interest.
The Land of the Free" shows
the career-down to the most init
mate detail-of General Pershing.
1t shows him as a boy and a youth,
In Laclede. Mo; shows him teaching
school; takes him to West Point;
pictures his career as an Indian
fighter; shows him at San Juan Hill,
in the Court of the Mikado of Japan,
on the Mexican border, and then
carries the story right down to the
present day. when he is being hailed
as Americas greatest soldier
Americas man Of the hour
When victory came there were
some 100000 men in the Amer.
icsn Army. Every one of these
men looked up to General Pershing
as their leader, their soldierly IDEAL
These men now are either back or
going back to civil life. To them
General Pershing still remains the
Big Chief" These men will act as
q leaven on the whole American
people; they will 60 to see The
Land of the Free; they will take
their relatives to see it.
The Land of the Free" is the
greatest most timely picture ever
issued. 1t will be shown at the

CUMM||VS HAS PLAN
 OF RECONSTRUCTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-Immediate study Of reconstruction problems by joint congressional committees was urged today by Senator Cummins of Iowa and other republicans but by a strict partisan vote the senate refused to lay aside the rivers and harbors appropriation bill and take up his reso- lution for creation of six joint com mittees of investigation.
 Senator Cummins declared there had been little concerted effort toward studying reconstruction legislation. Although he conceded action at this session was impossible he urged adop- tion of his resolution so that commit tees could work after congress ad- journed and be ready to report at the next session.
 We are drifting into a most un- fortunate situation" Senator Cummins said. regarding demobilization of sol diers. l believe @ very large part of our soldiers are coming home discon- tented. particularly because their coun- try has done nothing to provide for their transition from war to peace pursuits"

CANNED BLOOD SAVED. MANY SOLDIERS LIVES.
TRepublican 4. p. Leased Mirel

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-Use of canned blood" one of the remarkable developments Of war surgery, was de- scribed today by the surgeon generals office for the benefit Of the families of hundreds Of soldiers whose lives were saved by blood transmission.
 One Of the heaviest causes of death among wounded soldiers is hem0rrhage.
 Immediately after the United States entered the war the medical depart ment began organizing to reduce the number of fatalities from this cause and large numbers of medical men were put in training under the direc- ton of Colonel Walter B. Cannon, of Harvard university. It was early de- cided that methods to be used should be as simple as possible because Of limited facilities for work at the front.
 Development of the use of canned blood was a direct result of war con- ditions. During a heavy attack it was impossible to arrange for transfusions direct from persons. so the fluid was drawn previously stored on ice in ste- Tile flasks. then used in emergency cases. Where the wounded man could stand it. d blood substitute was in jeCted. which sustained life until he could be removed to a hospital where more direct transfusion could be em- ployed.
 By these methods many men were returned to their families, who in pre- vious wars would have lived but a few hours" the departments statement asserted.

 ready to strike against any aggressor. This l know. cuts into the idea of the sovereignty of nations, but l hope there may be future discussion on the part of affiliated states as 10 how they can adjust their national life so as to admit of a great degree of cooperation than there is in this document.
 Finally. I gladly note the insertion of a clause providing for the formation Of international charters of labor. Hitherto, nations had endeavored to protect themselves against low paid labor by the imposition of tariff bars. l hope we shall in the future, under the authority of the league of nations, seek and find better way of abolishing low priced labor altogether. We hope to raise the life of labor from the mere struggle for bread on to the higher levels of justice and humanity.
 "The commission. MT. Chairman, which was appointed a few weeks ago to go into this matter, is now busily engaged on it's detailed plan and we hope to report it in a few weeks. l can only say now, on behalf of that commission, that we shall endeavor to bring ourselves in line with the epoch making document which President Wilson has submitted to us today and, through us to the war-weary world.

ATTACKS LEAGUE
 IN A VIGOROUS
 OPEN STATEMENT

Arizona republican., 1919-02-16

(Continued from Page Onel one particular nation. but as the rep resentatives of international right.
 This is a principle to which We are particularly attached. All the states, in consenting to submit to international justice. take at the same time defi- nite pledge to guarantee each other the integrity of their territories as estab- lished by the settlement of the present peace treaty. and also to guarantee their political independence against future aggression. This is the object of our scheme. I hope the means which are suggested by it will allow us to attain our object.
 We have established certain number of judicial principles and in- ternational organizations binding the states together. binding them to a com mon work and binding them to the truce without which their common de- velopment would be impossible. These organizations. the. creation of which is provided for in the last articles of the have already existed, but which were have alread yexisted, but which were scattered through various parts of the world and which had never been brought together to form part of the common body of humanity.
 Foundation Now Laid
 The foundation now is laid and we are certain that the organizations will be multiplied and will help humanity more and more to attain it's common aims
 We have been unanimous in pro- claiming these principles, and we have felt the force of these principles so much that We have no doubt that a strong light will penetrate even into the darkest parts, that the light radi- atng from those principles will find it's way into lands that scene dto be the least open to it.
 But it is not enough to proclaim such great principles. We must organ | ize a system Of guaranty and system | of action, both judicial and practical. | The plan laid down is clear and sim pie one. There is a council. where all the states are represented equally, each having only one vote, and there is an executive committee which is consti- tuted on a different principle. But even in this case. where it has been found necessary for purposes of &C., ton to give five votes to the larger powers. the principle of equality has been secured by giving as much as four votes to the smaller states. Re- spect for the decision given by that body was assured by definite rules. the violation of which shall be considered as an act of war against all the con tracting states. If one state-it may be the smallest and most remote of all the states-is attacked without justi- flea tion. then the whole of the league Of nations is being attacked, and will resist.
 But we must go further In order tc secure the execution of internationa sentences. there must be a limitation of armaments. This has been the wish of the world for a great many years. What was formerly so difficult has today become possible. Our vic. tory has made it possible. because il has enabled us to disarm the barbari, force that was in the way of suci an improvement.
 League Will to Rule
 That limitation must be such tha no state can be capable of prevailin,

Ransdell of Louisiana, democrats, were outspoken in approval of the league.
 Democrat Senators Approve
 The president has won the greatest diplomatic victory recorded in history, said Senator Pullman. member Of the senate foreign relations committee. He has overcome the cynical d1plo- mats. the skeptical statesmen. and the hopeless msterialists. Words and tech nical construction matter little. The world has solemnly agreed upon the true principles Of justice and right and laid the foundation for universal peace. Our people will know the way to sus- tain the agreement.
 The league Of nations provided in the charter reported yesterday to the allied conference" said Senator Rans- dell. twill prove the greatest agency for world peace ever devised by man. It is filled with many wise provisions. A most hopeful sign is that it was re- ported by the unanimous vote of repre- sentatives of all the fourteen nations participating. Some provisions may require change but the general plan IS correct and is very remarkable
