Musical Comedy.

MOVING picture camera and pro-
mi jectors, so simplified in coz
IV4 struction and so moderate in
cost that practically everyone who
can now afford to use an ordinary
/ still camera may hereafter make and
display their own moving pictures, ID
the promise of the Camo Corporation.
The new corporation, the main OF
fees of which are in the Aston Trust
building, at Fifth avenue and Forty
second street, New York. was organ
lied by A. l.. Berman, who has been
identified for some time past with
moving picture and theatrical inter-
ests. Mr.. Berman heads the corpora
ton as president.
A we'll equipped plant for the manu-
facture Of both camera and projectors
has been built at New Rochelle, and
Is already in operation. In conjunc.
ton with the plant there is maintained
q laboratory for the production, deVel-
oping and printing of films.
The film used for the Camo is just
half the standard size. both with re-
gard to width and length. In other
words where the standard size film
has sixteen pictures to the foot the
new Camo has thirty-two pictures to
the same foot and is only half the
width.
The new company already has re-
ceived large number of orders from
Y. NJ. C. AS, training camps, private
schools and manufacturing plants.
AS soon as these orders are supplied
the camera and protector will be Of
fered to the public.

mands it. Nearly every step IN human
progress has been at the sacrifice of hui
man life. There are some things dearer
even than life. If nation has set up
high ideals, either for itself or for others,
it must be prepared to enforce those ideals
if need be by armies and navies. OF
course il would be better to enforce them
through moral prestige"
While it is evident that Gen. Pershing
is a serious minded man and strict dis
ciplnarian, Mr.. Tomlinson quotes many
expressions Of opinion to the effect that
he IS liked as well as respected by those
who serve under him; and he is described
as particularly successful as an after In
ner speaker. His domestic life has been
tragically saddened by the death Of his
wife, a daughter Of Senator Warren OF
Wyoming, and three children in fire at
the Preside at San Francisco during the
Generals absence on the Mexic9n from
tier In 1915.
His military advancement furnishes
singular contrast to his expectations upon
entering the army. When he was about
to take the West Point examination he
said to his roommate: 81 wouldn't stay
in the army. There won't be gun fired
in the world for a hundred years. Ii
there isn't, I'll study law, guess; but I
want an education, and now I see how /
can get it."

NTESSRS. D. APPLETON & CON-

NHESSRS. d. APPLETON & CON-
W. PANY have anticipated popu-
larlar demand for a biography Of the
commander Of the American military
forces il France in publishing The Story
Of Gen. PerShing, by Everett 7. Tomlin-
son, whose literary work has heretofore
been confined chiefly to the production
Of story books for children. Thirty-one
such books are listed under his name in
Who's Who in America.
The material for a satisfactory biog-
raphy of Gen. Pershing is rather meagre.
There will doubtless be more when the
Government makes public his reports Of
the operations of the American Expe-
dictionary Force under his command; but
Mr.. Tomlinson has evidently done his best
10 procure all the information presently
obtainable concerning the subject Of his
memoir. His book will be largely read
by those who are thinking of Gen. Per-
shing as possible or probable candidate
for President in 1920, in view of the fact
that thirteen Presidents of the United
States have been military men, more or
less. Only one Of these, however, has
been, Like Gen. Pershing, graduate of
West Point-namely, Ulysses s. Grant.
II.
John Joseph Pershing, son of John F.
and Ann E. (Thompson) Pershing, was
born ON September Is, 1860, near the vii
lage of Laclede, in Linn county, Mis-
souri. His father had been successfully
. section foreman on the Hannibal and
st. Joseph Railroad, a sutler attached to
o Missouri regiment in the Union Army
during the civil war, a farmer, and a
salesman for n Cbic go business house.
His mother came from Nashville, Tenn,
and had brother in each OF the oppos-
ing armies+Confederete and Union. All
that We are told of his parents ancestry
is that his fathers forebears came from
Alsace- Lorraine.
After graduating at the Kirkwood
State Normal School young Pershing in
tended to study law; but this plan was
abandoned when the Representative In
Congress from his district announced a
competitive examination for a cadetship
at West Point The young man entered
the competition; eighteen took the exami-
nation and Pershing won, though only by
q single point. There was a tie between
him and one Higginbottom, and IS a fral
test they were required to diagram" the
following sentence, 81 love to rum
Hgg1nbottom's solution wasi
"F'-subject.
oIove"-predicate.
"To 1un"-infnitive phrase qualifying
the meaning of the verb.
Pershing solved the problem thus:
"F--subject.
"Love-predicate.
STo runs the object.
The examiners decided that Pershings
mswG was the better and Pershing re-
ceived the appointment and entered the
United States Military Academy on July
], 1882, when he was nearly % years of
age, considerably older than the average
cadet.
On graduation in 1886 Pershing stood
No. 30 in class Of seventy-seven mem
bers. lie was Captain of one of the cadet
companies, however, during the fourth
year, which shows that be must have been
highly esteemed by the officers of the

as to The military merits Of the author
himself.
Some similar source of information is
essential to the construction of complete
and definite biography of Gen. Pershing.
So far az his activities in France are con-
cerned, his present biographer has been
compelled to confne himself to tie nara
ton of incidents occurring on occasions
of ceremony, such as the Generals visit
to the tomb Of Lafayette and kissing the
kilt Of Napoleon's sword in the crypt Of
the Hotel des Inyaides.
In a chapter on Gen. Pershing as
writer and speaker, Mr.. Tomlinson refers
to a placard bearing the Generals sigma
ture which he says is to be found hang
ing in every Y. M. C. A. hut in France
Over the signature are these words:
Hardship will be your lot, but trust in
God viii give you comfort. Temptation
will befan you, but the teachings of our
Saviour will give you strength. Let your
valor as soldier and your conduct as
man be an inspiration to your comrades
and an honor to your country"
The religious feeling manifested in this
exhortation is doubtless due to a heredi-
tary tendency. Gen. Pershing's father YVES
a devoted Methodist. "He established the
Methodist Church at Laclede, Mo-, and
after moving to Chicago was instrumental
in forming the Hyde Park Methodist
Church" Il was in the latter church that
the son, then a First Lieutenant, on his
return from the Spanish war delivered
an address on the Santiago campaign,
which is the longest specimen Of his writ
ing contained in the present volume
v.
His views Of warfare are terseiy
expressed IN a letter written Just be-
fore he was sent into Mexico, in the
course Of which he said: 1--WE do not
want war if we can honestly avoid it;
but We must not hesitate to make war f
the cause Of civilization and progress de-

OF Gen. Pershing's ability as a mill
tary leader. Mr.. Tomlinson is able to tell
his readers very little. This is not tbe
fault Of the author. 1t has been the
policy of our War Department to con-
ceal frUm the public almost all official
reports of the operations of the Ameri-
can forces in France. In England, on
the contrary, a very different course has
been pursued. The reports Of Lord
French and Sir Douglas Haig to the War
Office have been published in full, 80 that
the British public is furnished with
abundant material for the formation of
an intelligent Judgment concerning the
capacity and comparative merits Of their
principal commanders in the field.
The final de- 'atch of Field Marshal
Haig covers four pages of the weekly
edition of the London Times and con-
tains a review of the chief features of
military interest which stand out among
the operations of the British armies on
the Western front since Sir Douglas Haig
assumed command. Il take this last op-
portunity," he says, "also TO refer by
name to some few Of the many able and
galIant officers who have assisted me in
my task and to thank them personally"
Such a report enables the readers to rem
der horror to those to whom honor is due
and also TO form some sort Of judgment

VESTED PREJUDICES

An intelligent agricultural poll
CT is the basis Of = great industrial
policy, and . great systematic
effort must BE- made to bring people
back 70 the land.
"Give back the people, as many
as you can. to tho cultivation OF
the soil" says Lloyd George.
But it must be done systematic
ally. It must be done intelligently.
We must sweep aside prejudices.
The difficulty il not with the inter-
ests it 10 with prcjudices. And
it is equally true in every bust
ness. People talk about the vest
ed interests. It is not the vested
interests I am afraid of; it is the
vested prejudices Sweep these
away and the State can easily deal
with interests. You must not take
any mans property away. You
cannot build Q great State on dis
honesty. You are bound to come
to grief il you attempt it. That
was ona Of the fundamental errors
of Bolshevism."
Lloyd George is right in assert
ing that you cannot built a great
State Oh dishonesty." 1t is true,
also, that no individual nor any
group Of individuals ever set out
to do q thing in disregard of the
rights Of others without hurting
themselves.
