PERSH|NC ASKS
To De RETIRED
FROM SERVICE
Tells Secretary Baker He Desires
More Active Life
WANTS DISCHARGE SOON
General Writes That His Retirement
Now viii Not impair Military
Service.

Washington, June Gen. John J.
Pershing commander In chief of the
American expeditionary forces in
France during the war, announced to-
night his intention of retiring from
active duty in the army. He sent a
letter to Secretary of War Baker in
which he said it was his desire to
engage in some line of work more
active than that which at present is
required of him-supervision of the
recently authorized reorganization of
the army.
Gen. Pershing's decision to retire,
announced upon ris return to Wash
ington after several days in Maine,
caused intense surprise. Although 1t
had been known to Secretary Baker
for several days, no announcement
came from the War Department. Even
after word had gone around that Gen.
Pershing had sent the letter to Mr..
Baker, the Secretary declined to do
more than acknowledge that he had
received it, The text, he said, must
come from Gen. Pershing. Here is the
letter:
Dear Mr.. Secretary: Referring to
our conversation of few days ago, |
wish to say that it has long been my
desire to return to civil life. Through
out my military career ! have been
very much occupied, and the assign
ments that have fallen to my lot dur
ing recent years have been more or
less important.
1T now appears that my duties are
not likely to be OF character that will
require more than a portion OF my
time. Under the circumstances | feel
that after the completion of the work
contemplated by the army reorganiza-
ton act. could relinquish military
duty without detriment TO the service
and thus be free to engage in some
thing more active. Therefore, unless
a situation Should develop to justify
my remaining, contemplate taking the
step Indicated within the next few
months q 9tf1i lH"h -'Hi 20
Should the necessity arise in the
time of crisis or otherwise, / assure
you, Mr.. Secretary, that shall stand
ready TO serve my country in the fu
ture as have in the past
with great respect and high esteem
i remain, very sincerely,
John ]. Pershing,"
There is no question, of course, but
that Secretary Baker will grant Per.
shing's request for retirement. 1t is
plain from the letter, together with
the attitude of Mr.. Baker, that there
has been such an understanding.
Several months ago, when the Gen.
erals name was being used in connec-
tion with the Nebraska Presidential
preference primary, an unofficial an.
announcement was made that upon his
retirement from the army he would
enter business in Lincoln, the city he
now calls home So far, however, he
has not himself indicated the nature
of his future activities.

Mr.. Mills chose as his subject, "The
Opportunity of Youth in Our Time
and took his text from Esther All
,"Who knoweth whether thou are come

this?Y Mr.. Mills said Some of us
ARE not very happy over the spirit OF
America in this hour. There is no
use denying the fact that as people
we have slumped from our high estate
of faith and vision of few years
back. There is a false optimism we
Ought not to cultivate. But we may
have faith in future Americans espec.
tally because we have faith in the
youth Of America who are coming into
the kingdom for just such a time as
this. For himself he refused to be-
lieve that our American boys and girls
would not initiate the example of the
youths who in the world war showed
such devotion chiyalry and self.for-
ge,fulness. They would grow up and
so out into the world interested in
something more than making money
and having time to play Courage
and the spirit of unselfish service
were the great qualities in demand.

CARNIVAL GETS CROWD
Many People Visit Attractions on
Opening Night.


The carnival which is being held
at the Morgan lot this week under
the auspices OF the Hook and Ladder
company opened auspiciously Mon,
day evening and each of the attrae-
tions drew a good sized crowd at
every performance. Some Of the
shows are rather above the ordinary
and several acts are we'll worth see
ing.
Among other things, couple of
hours walk around the midway
makes one realize:-
That the steady streams Of people
moving in and out from the freak
tent proves that every normal human
being has a morbid curiosity.
That a man needs just as convinc-
ingean argument to sell hot dogs as
he does to sell real estate.
That not every sucker confines his
activities to fooling around oil
stocks.
That middle aged men and women
who find enjoyment riding on the
merry-go-round or the whip" still re-
tain a large quota Of the divine
spark Of youth.
That there should be no serious ef.
fects from carnival unless one
smokes some CT the cigars tha. are
given away.
That a man who leaves a show by
means OF the under the canvas"
route hasn't the courage Of his con
victions.
That If an Oriental dancer is profc-
lent enough, one doesn't mind her be-
ing homely.
That the man who thinks he can
shoot cork at bcx of cigarettes
and hit 1t is a true optimist.
That good clean show sometimes
makes up for lack of talent.
