BY UNIVERSAL SERVICE,

Washington, Sept. 6.-Legis1ation
TO put Americas army upon a peace
footing awaits the return of Gen.
John J. Pershing.
The senate and house committees
on military affairs will submit no
recommendations as to the total
numbers of officers and men to con-
stitute the new army or amounts of
money to support it until the COM
nander-in-chief of the American ex-
peditionary forces is permitted to
give his views.
Pershing to Set Date.
This conclusion has been reached
by James w. Wadsworth, jr., and
Julius Kahn, chairmen, respective
ly, of the senate and house COM
mittees. General Pershing will be
formally requested, Immediately on
his return to the United States, for
which he sailed Monday. to indi-
cate a date on which it will be most
convenient for him to tell the COM
mittees what the size and equipment
of the peace regiments shall be. He
is expected home tomorrow.
He will be asked specifically if he
prefers the formation of an army
with 4 total strength Of $4,000, as
advocated by Secretary Of War
Baker and General March, chief of
staff, OF one Of z75,000 only, as
urged by Chairmen Wadsworth and
Kahn.
Pass on Universal Training.
The commander Of the overseas
American forces will also be cate
chised as to whether he will endorse
the Chamberlain-Kahn bill creating
the smaller army and making uni
versal training methods feeders in
case of an actual war. General
Pershing will also be requested to
examine the Dent act, eliminating
business departments from the army,
increasing salaries and also provid-
ing for universal training.
Probe Plane Burning.
A feature of General Pershing's
appearance will be a series of inter-
rogations as to why 81 100000 worth
of American airplanes were de-
stroyed in France.
1t is maintained by many that
should France become involved
again in war, she might need these
planes, or America might require
them, if the treaty is approved
compelling her to rush to the rescue
of France.
The War department maintains
that the planes burned were COM
parative junk, that no fighting
planes were destroyed; that only
obsolete, observation and training
planes were reduced 10 cinders.
General Pershing has yet to tell
the story as to who ordered the de-
struction of these planes and why.
Members of both branches of cou-
gress are anxious to get Pershing's
ideas of Secretary Bakers plan for
holding in the service over $4,000
officers, while there is serious doubt
if the republican majority will
grant an army large enough to war

An enlarged program has been
outlined by public school officials in
connection with the medical inspec-
ton of the children. This program
will be co-ordinated with the regu-
lar school work and will begin with
the opening of schools.
Lectures to mothers, an anti
tuberculosis campaign, and open-air
school rooms, are features which
will be emphasized by those in
charge of the medical department Of
the public school system. DR.. E. T.
Manning will be the physician in
charge for another school year, and
Miss Charlotte. Townsend will be
in charge of staff of 10 school
nurses.
Open-Air Rooms and Meals.
Open-air school rooms will be
something new in Omaha. Cleve-
land has adopted the idea in eonnec-
ton with the public schools. These
special rooms may be separate
structures, or they may be built in
connection with school buildings.
These rooms are for children who
are anemie or whose physical con-
dition needs building up.
The Omaha plan contemplates
they shall be served nourishment at
10 a. m. and at ESQ p. M. each school
day. In cold weather they will wear
caps and coats. Their temperatures
will be taken every day and other
special attentions will be extended.
1t is believed by the school medical
authorities that most of these chill
dren can be restored to normal con-
dition.
Correct Ailments In Youth.
1t is also stated by these authori-
ties that IS per cent of the ailments
of adults result from remedial de-
fects in childhood. They also argue
that "a stitch in time saves nine"
and that the number of defective
and subnormal children can be re-
duced through the application of
proper methods.
A series of lectures to mothers
will be given in the schools during
the year. In some schools mothers
clubs have already been organized
and these will be used for the pro-
motion of school health. Meetings
will be arranged for schools where
mothers clubs have not been start
ed. The mothers will be given in
struction on the subjects of infants
food and clothing, the Importance
of fresh air, and the dangers of neg
lectlng physical defects.
Free Dental Treatment.
The free dental dispensary which
was maintained for three years by
a group of dentists, was turned over
last spring to the Board of Educa-
ton. This dispensary is now locat-
ed in the city hall and is under the
supervision of the public school

been content in Pennsylvania. The
west called him. Imaginative. vir,
lie, the lure of the vast undeveloped
land beyond the Mississippi claimed
him. He started for Laclede. a
thriving town as towns went in the
50s-as large then, indeed, as ii
is today. He stopped on the way
in Montgomery City. For four
years he worked about that town
helping as contractor in the build
ing of the old Missouri Northern
railroad from St. Louis to Macon
Mo. His work yielded him little Of
material value.
But in Montgomery City he won
bride-Ann Thompson, fair
haired Missouri girl, with brave,
sweet mouth, honest blue eyes and
heart of gold, better wife and
mother than whom never lived
With her, the railroad building in
Macon completed, he went on to
Laclede, reaching there in 1859.
John F. Pershing needed a lob
The first honest work offered him
he undertook and a few days after
his arrival in Laclede found him
employed as a foreman or superin-
tendent on that section of the Han
nibal and St. Joseph railroad in
process of construction just west OF
Laclede.
Where He Was Born.
Lust west" meant three or four
miles; and miles in those days
now, too-in the country about
Laclede, were long and tortuous
He could not 60 back and forth to
the town. He must live close to
his work. So it was that John F.
Pershing and his bride started
housekeeping in a shanty on = hill
beside the railroad.
The hill is still there-Orchard
Farm it is called now, and a huge
sign with the legend Birthplace oil
General Pershing" inscribed upon
it proclams it so to the visitor. The
shanty, strongly built as it was OF
heavy logs to shut out the winds
that sweep across the plains and in
winter pile up massive drifts of
snow, has long since fallen to de-
cay. Not vestige of it remains.
That rude shanty was the birth
place of General Pershing.
Another Birthplace Claim.
Some persons there are in La
clede who claim otherwise. Among
them is Mayor Edmund B. Allen.
He shows one house in Laclede.
He tells one the general was born
in it. An old woman, Mrs. Louisa
Burnett, who lives in Brookfeld,
FIVE miles east of Laclede, upholds
the mayor. She says she was there
the day the general was born, and
she is ready to give her affidavit to
that effect. 1t must be confessed,
indeed, that Laclede is divided in
factions, insofar as the generals
birthplace is concerned.
But the evidence, judged impair
TALLY, convinces me he was born
in the shanty. Laclede folks, those
who stand sponsor for the house in
Leclede, are not impartial. They
cannot be. For once they admit the
general came into the world in the
shanty, they admit his birthplace
was not Laelede, but Meadville, the
next town west. They really should
not worry. Meadville did not exist
when the general was born, and to
all intents aud purposes the place

the task which had been laid out
Tor me would be an unwelcome bur
den. Instead, I was thrilling with
excitement. filled with gratitude that
1 could do anything to repay the
man who had paid so great a price
for his chivalry to me. The mo-
mentary dismay which had seized
me when I first grasped Lillian s
meaning had vanished. 1 was only
conscious of one feeling, a great
desire to serve the wounded hero in
any way possible.
Something whispered TO me, how
ever, TO conceal this easerness from
Lillian; in fact, from everybody. Il
was a queer, instructive feeling, one
into the origin Of which I was reluc-
tant TO inquire. 1t made me mask
my real feeling beneath an assump-
tion Of cool indifference.
"Of course, there is nothing else
to do" I said in quiet acquiescence.
When do they want me to begin
assisting the nurse?"
They think you will be strong
enough to go in tomorrow morning"
she said hesitatingly. "Of course
they knew it will be a great strain
or else I'm afraid they would ask
you 20 do sooner.
I raised myself on one elbow.
Il thought you said a few min
utes ago that I was perfectly able

edly.
Being able to leave the hospital
for tender home care and being

things" Lillian returned.
