THANKS THE PRECEDENT, Mr..
BAKER AND ALL HIS OFFICERS

AND MEN
General Pershing concluded his fin
al report as Commander in Chief of
the American Expeditionary Forces
to Secretary of War Baker with this
appreciation:
I'm this brief summary Of the
achievements of the American ex-
peditionary forces 1t would be impssi-
Bile to cite in detail the splendid abili-
ty, loyalty and efficiency that chara-
cterized the service of both comba-
tant and non-combatant individuals
and organizations. The most strik-
ing quality of both officers and men
was the resourceful energy and COM
mon sense employed under all circum-
stances in handling their problems.
"The highest praise is due the COM
manders of armies, corps and divi-
sions and their subordinate leaders,
who labored Loyalty and ably toward
accomplishment of our task, suppress
ing personal opinions and ambitions
in the pursuit of the common aim;
and to their stats, who developed,
with battle experience, into splendid
teams without superiorss in any army.
ITO my Chiefs of STAFF, Major Gen.
James G. Hartford, who was later
placed in command of the Service of
Supplies, and Major Gen. James w.
McAndrew, l am deeply indebted for
highly efficient services in a post of
great responsibility.
'The important work of the sstaff
at general headquarters in organiza-
ton and administration was chara-
cterized by exceptional ability and
a fine spirit of cooperation. No chief |
had a more loyal and efficient body of |
assistants.
Our armies were conscious of the |
support and cooperation of all bran
,hes of the Government. Behind them
stood the entire American people,
whose ardent patriotism and SYM |
oathy inspired our troops with a deep |
'ense of obligation, of loyalty and of
levotion to the country's cause never
'qualled in our history.
Finally, the memory of the un-
linching fortitude and fleroism Of the
oldiers of the line filed me with
reatest admiration. To them l again
ay the supreme tribute Their de-
otion, their valor and their secri-
ces will live forever in the hearts of
heir grateful countrymen.
''In closing this report, Mr.. Seere-
airy, | desire to record my deep ap-
recitation of the unqualified support
ccorded me throughout the war by

However, he went out with the
visitor, bought five gallons of
paint. some brushes and other
supplies. Near the paint store he
spied the car of a good neighbor
of his, member of the detective
force, and found the latter headed
toward home. The sleuth prompt

The business man hurried from

GIRL VICTIM DESCRIBES
ATTACK ON AUTO PARTY
Escort Shot to Death by Negro
When Car Stopped Near Gas
tonia, N. c., Woods, She Says.

GASTONIA. n. c. November 3
The condition of Essie Beatty one of
the victims of the alleged murderous
assault made upon an automobile par
ty three miles from here Sunday
night. was said by physicians this
morning to be practically unchanged.
Although struggling between life and
death she told a fragnentary story of
the crime this morning, and il was
substantially the same as that given
the coroner's jury by both Ransom
Killian and Effie Grice, the other two
members of the party of four which
was attacked.
Coroner Davis reconvened his jury at
10 O'Clock this morning without having
any witnesses from whom the jury ex-
pected to get materially new evidence.
The conviction seems to prevail in the
community now that the stories told by
the three survivors Of the automobile
ride is likely to stand and that two
negro men committed the crime. which
stands out as the most fiendish ever
committed in CASTOR county.
John Ford, a well connected young
man Of Lincolnton. n. c.. was shot TO
death and Miss Beatty wounded. while
on an automobile ride with r Killian
and Miss Grice.
Killian, at the coroner's inquest.
said that while the four were riding
out toward Bessemer City they
stopped. and Ford and Miss Grfce got
out OF the car and walked out of
sight. while the witness and Miss
Beatty remained in the automobile.
After a few minutes a negro ap-
peared from the woods, held him up
at the point of pistol and robbed
him of a few dollars, firing his revol-
yer three times, one of the bullets
striking the young woman. About the
same time other shots were heard in
the direction Ford and the other girl
had gone. and a second negro ap-
preached and said he had shot the
other man down yonder."

PERSHING MAKES HOME
CIRCUS RING FOR BOYS
General Oversees Sandlot Perform
ance and Decides to Reproduce
Show for His Friends.

Gen. Pershing's beautiful home in
Chevy Chase is soon to be the scene
of veritable circus Its performers
will be composed of the youth of the
neighborhood. They are making
active preparations today to stage the
affair. and are impatiently awaiting
word from the late commander of the
American expeditionary forces as to
the time and date of their presenta-
ton. 1t all happened this way:
One day last week the boys were
staging what they termed a circus in
the rear of the home of Mrs. George
w. Stone of Cummings lane. Chevy
Chase. Gen. Pershing happened to be
passing, and stopped to witness the
actions of the clowns. acrobats, ma
gicians and ballyhoo men.
The performers. naturally. regis
tered surprise, although they had
often discussed the advisa bility of in
viting Gen. Pershing to one of their
circuSes. When the circus was over
the general appeared elated, and told
the boys he was so well pleased that
he wanted them to repeat it in his
home for the benefit of his friends.
The boys agreed. and are now wait
ing for their hero" as they call him.
to give the word to repeat the show in
the Pershing home.
Incidentally the boys are getting a
little additional practice for the pur-
pose of making their circus even bet
ter than it was when Gen. Pershing
viewed it.
