SAYS .PERSHINC
 ADOPTED SYSTEM
 WHICH WON WAR
Commander Johnson De- cIares Gen. Pershing Went Against Advice of Other
 American Generals.

TACOMA, May 3.-Major Gen. eral Johnson, commander of the famous 91st Division of westerners end Alaskans, who is now in com mand of Camp Lewis and is form ing a new regular army, said Gen. Pershing was responsible for the op- eration and style of fighting that won the war. He said several Am erican Generals protested when Pershing ordered the troops to leave their trenches, and attack the en- emy, because they were not so well trained as the Germans. He said Gen. Foch approved the plan. but that the French could not try it because they did not have enough men to take the chance. Major Johnson said Pershing knew the American spirit and had full con fidence in the ability of the Yankees to fight better when they were in action with the enemy at close grips than to endure the monotony of trench life.

 We deplore and denounce the false, malicious and vicious attacks by James Wickersham upon the pol icies of the Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K. Lane, in aid of the de- |velopment of Alaska and her re- sources as base and treacherous betrayal of trust. s.
 We particularly denounce the bill introduced by MT.
