THE
ONE GENERAL TOO MANY
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

/ because of that friction, and the man
yet"
But if the chief of staff takes preced-
ence over all other officers in the army,
and II Gen. March is denoted to brga-
der general June 80, in accordance with
present plan, a brigadier- general would
outrank full general, which is impos-
sible. So there Is nice kettle of fish.
Congress has shown pronounced tend
| ency to favor Pershing and to deny
March recognition. 1t voted down the
proposal to make March a general OF
equal rank with Pershing Now there
Is bill in congress which proposes to
legislate Pershing into the position of
chief of staff Assuredly there is much
in all of this which might well prejudice
these gentlemen against each other
So far, however there Is no evidence
of peevishness on either side
Those who know him we'll doubt If
Pershing wants to be chief of staff He
has been the man on horseback riding
In Limousine" with a flag out in front
for three years. He has been the man
OF action in the field. AS chief of staff
he would be desk soldier. 1t would be
task of study and detail. Maybe he
would like it. Maybe he would rather
go from the big war into retirement. He
has intimated an intention to retire.
Then, of course, there is the matter
of certain bee that is today buzzing
In many bonnets. Pershing may yet be
a candidate for the presidency. Maybe
the rule of history that the military
leader In time Of war becomes the chief
executive in the peace that follows still
holds good.
There Is, however, still worry over
what to do with Pershng The solution
Will probably wait on time.

in families are foreShadowed. This may

Physicians are subject to sway oil
the stars that seems to be unfavorabe
Hospitals will need money and will be
overcrowded,
The upheaval of labor will affect al
the learned professions, the seers pro-

quired for charity
Writers and even preachers will or
ganize within the year, If the inter

The movement of women in the Unit

The death of famous scientist is
