GENERAL PERSH|NG
TOfQUIT THE ARMY
FEELS THAT He CAN GIVE UP
MILITARY DUTIES WITHOUT
IMPAIRMENT or SERVICE.
LETTER TO SECRETARY BAKER
Should Necessity Arise in a Time OF
Crisis He Stands Ready to Serve
His Country as in the Past.

Washington. - General Pershing
will retire from active service within
q few months. He announced his in
tention in letter to Secretary Baker.
It follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
referring to our conversation of
"a few days ago, 1 wish to say that
it has long been my desire to re-
turn to civil life.
ct 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 reorgan1-
act, could rehquish military duty
without deteriment to the service and
thus be free to engaged n something
more active.
Therefore, unless situation
should develop to justify my remain
ing, contemplate taking the step in
dicated within the next few months.
SHOULD the necessity arise in a
time of crisis or otherwise, assure
you, Mr.. Secretary, that I still stand
ready to serve my country in the fu-
ture as have in the past.
with great respect and high es-
TEEN, remain very sincerely,
John J. PERSHING."
