Defends General PershIno

| To the Editor Of the Evening Public Lcdoer:
Sr~-1 am not able to go into detail in rs-
gard to the Doushboys' criticism and charge
against General Pershinys military disoi-
world war. but I have thought a great deal
! about the matter since I have had occasion
| at divers times to form an opinion along
with others In regard to the general and tho
| source from which numerous reports have
come.
am an ex-U. s. soldier myself and be-
lieve was In tho Philippine Islands about
the time Porshing was there. Anyway, I
was In the islands during the time Of the
samar massacre. and II is we'll remembered
now the great fuss that was Kicked up over
General Smiths actions and later his recall
and court-martial
or course. the two episodes affecting these
| hish-ranking officers Of the American army
were not very similar. To be brief one
was court-mhrtialed, the other was pro-
noted Neither OF them was at liberty to
act entirely independent OF his own desires
and the wishes Of his troopers.
In General Pershins's case he commanded
a vast anount---in fact. more-of Americas o
fighting force ard the spirit that went with
II than any other officer had. no long as I
can remember. While. in the meantime he
was sent to the old world with strict orders
affecting himself and forces II is easy to
recall how he reported when he got there,
who ho reported 10. etc.
He went there for big purpose. execution;
| a soldier with soldiers to compare and bat
tie with: soldiers OF old with military train
ing unsurpassed. True. he was not the ali.
He had his secretaries. lieutennnts. subs
etc. and. last Of all. so to speak. his COM
manders. both thore and at home. II fur
ther goes without saying that a general In
the army under such circumstances can
hardly find time to look after all the small
details that will naturally arise with so
large u force. although being responsible to
a great extent.
So TO make a long story short have
summed up matters as they actually ap-
peared to me. and concluded that as much
M we have heard and learned OF the props-
ganda and the different factions and clas
nowadays. no other man could have done
any better. And probably not go we'll And,
concluding. will say that during my mill
'ary training and service. I heard criticism
OF such men as General Funston. Lawton
and others Not so much after they were
dead. however.
Hence shall we turn a new leaf. come
back home. end learn OF the great shipping
and airship scandals.

The minstrel sang a song about his old

Along the Suwance river far away,
When an old and aged darky sat in sadness
and In gloom,
Then aross. and this is what they heard
him say:
Sing again that sweet refrain: there 8
whero the old foxes stay;
It taisos mo back to slavery days befo

Along tho Suwanoe ribber banks, there $
where long TO roam,
For I'm old and sray and far away from
