PERsIIING TO RETAIN RANK.
May Be Retired With Permanent Rank
of General.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Secretary
of War Baker made it clear that Gen
eral Pershing, commander in-chief of
the American Expeditionary Force in
France, will not be reduced to his reg
ular army rank of major general i'm
mediately upon his return to this coun-
try.
General Pershing's commission was
for emergency. He could have been re-
moved at any time as commander-in-
chief of the A. E. F., had there been
any reason for change. Now that the
A. E. f. is rapidly vanishing through
the rehabilitation camps, General Per-
lshing is expected to sail for home with
in the next few weeks s. ssss
His commission will not expire until
President Wilson formally announces
the emergency ended
Secretary Baker could throw no light
on the reiterated reports of the present
or prospective frictiou between Gener-
al Pershing and General March, chief
of staff, and was not prepared to an
nounce any plans he may have for Gen
eral Pershing when the latter returns
to the United States. General Pershine
has not advised the war department the
approximate date of his return.
Some officers who served with Gener.
al Pershing in France are inclined tc
think he may ask for retirement in
which event congress undoubtedly
would quickly pass legislation making
him general for life and giving him tho
full pay and allowances of that rank.
No officer, however, claims to have
heard General Pershing say one wore
