4 n broad shouldered and tall
almost to a statuesque de-
gree--a physical model of military
bearing for soldiery the world over,
figure whose sight instantly spells
soldier to the popular mind-thus
might one briefly describe John j.
Pershing, commander Of Americas
armies. Thus may one see him back
in the United States again after more
than two years abroad while Amer
lea played her greatest role among
nations.
1t has been common talk among
military folk in Europe from the
time Uncle Sans legions first ar
rived in France, more than twenty
seven months ago, that America has
produced a race of men infinitely
more nearly physically perfect than
any other nation of the world. More
fitting, therefore, has been the mill
tary figure of John ]. Pershing
among leaders of armies in the
European war-an outstanding fig
ure among them all.
And "Black Jack" Pershing's
physique tells the story of Pershing
-vigor, stamina, power of leader
ship and organization, nerve to act
and assume responsibility; soldier
of soldiers, whose square jaw spells
strict discipline and commands
eternal respect; man whose very
presence, without any knowledge
of past records, radiates a feeling
of capacity, whether it is fighting
Spaniards in Cuba, pacifying Moros
in Mindanao, hunting Villa in Mexl-
co or building an American Expe-
citiolfary Force and whipping Ger
mans in Europe.

Old enough he went on the farm
and there laid the foundation for
the marvellous physique which at
his present age has been the COM
ment of European military circles.

Treasure Taken
from Germany
By CARL D. GRoAT.

Omitted Press STAG Correspondent)
Berlin. July 1.-(By Mail-)-Switz-
erland and the Scandinavian countries
at present house a vast treasure in
German and Austrian securities. Their
worth can only be guessed. but it is
estimated that they run into many
millions of dollars.
These securities have been Snug
gled out OF Austria and Germany
against the time when their owners
would have to help pay the German
war indemnities. Because of the
movement of these valuable papers.
the German government made strong
complaint in the course of the peace
negotiations. 1t pointed out that a
vast sum of money had gone out of
the country, which, without the aid
of the Entente in recovering. prob
ably could not be reached
The securities were taken out by
wealthy men who desired TO escape
their share of the burdens arising
from peace payments. In some cases.
airplanes were used to take out great
stores of securities. In other cases.
directly after the armistice, il was
possible for the wealthy TO pack up
their tangible assets and move quietly
into Switzerland. or some other neu-
trai country, where the securities
were safe'y slowed away out of the
reach of the German government.
Only recently there came news
from Vienna of considerable move
ment OF Austrian and Hungarian pa
per out OF the country. One estimate
was that recently 81, 900. 900 900 worth
OF notes and other securities had
been smuggled out OF the country
with quite evident signs that the
movement had the same purpose be-
hind IL as the earlier German smug-
Cling.
The government is now seeing to 1t
that no great sums OF money or paper
are allowed to slip through the bound
aries unless for legitimate purposes.
Germany complains that her ability
TO meet foreign claims has been ma
terially decreased by the acts OF war

xens who chose to take their wealth
away rather man aid d rebuildine

Incidentally, Switzerland and the
