VICIOUS ATTACK ON PERSHING BY
 UNDERTAKERS

(By The Stars and Stripes Service)
 Washington, D. C., Mar.-(SpeciaD "Gen Pershing, copying after the Brit ish, who knew nothing of embalming declared that a dead soldier meant no more to him than the dirt under his feet"
 This alleged quotation appears in a leading article of the January number of "The Casket," published at 437 Broadway, New York, and devoted to the higher aducation of funeral direc- tors, embalmers and sanitarians." This number has just been distributed.
 "Gen. Pershing could not under stand the wishes of the American mothers and fathers and other rela- tives," continues "The Casket," land as he was responsible for the success of the American arms abroad, he had his way, and no embalming was done"
 The reference to embalming goes back to the attempt of the Purple Cross to establish an embalmers' corps as part of the American forces in France.
 The Purple Cross
 This project was rejected by Gen. Pershing, and "The Baskets" present attitude toward him may be reflec- tion of the feelings of the undertakers who composed the membership of the Purple Cross Association, whose pro- posal was to embalm and return to America for burial all American SOL dier dead.
 It was ''The Casket" which printed the now-famous-or- -infamous-edi- torial, headed Between You and Me-" in which these words appeared:
 "This is a plain business talk-a matter of dollars and sense, plus sen
 "For nearly every American soldier returned, some funeral director will be called upon to perform the necessary duties of reception and burial.
 Extra business, gentlemen-legiti- mate, patriotic, kindly, sympathetic, remunerative extra business.
 "No increased death rate, no addi- tional widows and orphans-only the final laying away of Americas sons in the bosom of their dear mother land.
 ''The Congress pauses in its vote to hear the expression of the peoples wishes. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"

John Job, ''Snake-
 Charmer" Bitten by
 "Pet" Gila Monster

The other day, at Tucson, John Job, known here as the "snake charmer," was bitten on the thumb by a Gila monster. He was exhibiting the mon ster to show man and to show that he was pet tapped it on the neck to make it roll over on it's back. Then he picked the reptile up by the tail and instantly it turned and sank it's teeth into Jobs hand. It took consid- erable work to pry the jaws of the monster apart. Job is not considered in danger from the bite. A few years ago this fellow was bitten by rat tlesnake on the hand and suffered with badly swollen hand and arm for some months. Job has gathered in reptiles for show purposes for some years, so he says. He was a regis tered alien during the war and was under surveillance on account of his boastful talk among those whom he believed to be pro-German. Before leaving here he was held in jail on 8 charge of stealing personal property, but the charge was finally dismissed after jury failed to agree on a yer dict.
