PERSHING TO RETIRE
General Tells Baker of Desire for
Private Life.
Stands Ready to Serve His Country
Again in Time of Crisis-Wtli
Help Reoreanize Army.

Washington, June Seen. John j.
of the A. E. F., in a letter to Secre-
tary of War Baker made public indi-
Gated his desire to be placed on the
retired list as soon as his work under
the army reorganization act is COM
pleted.
This measure provides certain
duties for the general of the army in
connection with the reorganization Of
the various branches of the service.
1t Is expected Gen. Pershing would be
able to complete the work within a
few months.
Gen. Pershing said he did not care
to make any statement as to his fu-
ture plans. Under the special act of
general for life he will continue to
draw full pay and allowances.
Under these circumstances it is ex-
pected he might not make any bust
ness connection Immediately, If at all.
Reports were in circulation some time
ago that he intended to engage in the
banking business with Gen. Charles
G. Dawes of Chicago, but this was
denied.
The text of Gen. Pershing's letter
to Secretary Baker follows:
referring to our cOnversati ton of a
few days ago. wish to say it has long
been my desire to return to civil life.
Throughout my military career l have
been very much occupied and the as
signments that have fallen to my lot
during recent years have been more
or less important.
1T now appears that my duties are
not likely to be of a character that
will require more than n portion of
my time. Under the circumstances, I
feel that after the completion of the
work contemplated by the army re-
organization act I could relinquish
military duty without detriment to the
service and thus be free to engage in
something more active.
SHOULD the necessity arise in the
time of crisis or otherwise. I assure
you, Mr.. Secretary, that | shall stand
ready TO serve my country in the fu-
ture as | have in the past"

bers of the United States rail labor
board, which closed its public hear

Otis took a cigar from the prof

only remaining chair In the small
room. Resting a long hand on his
knee, he tapped his wiry fingers i'm
patiently against his leg. He was a
little annoyed by Fitzhugh's easy cor

The effect of the proposal upon Ar

screwed up his mouth in : ludicrous

turning On Fitzhugh: "Tll try you on
my friends-what?" He smiled pref
tily.
Il suppose l can stand it."
The four or five young men who en-
tered were. for the most part, of Ar
ties class. They were fiaccid, listless
seemingly consumed with ennui and
a-weary of the world. They talked
languidly of tailors and different
makes of motorcars. They expressed
lukewarm preferences for a certain
brand of cigarette or particular KIND
of mixed drink. None had any indi-
viduality but all were cut from the
same pattern.
Some time la,er, in the street be-
low, Fitzhugh paused a moment In
the falling snow and spoke feelingly
to himself
Its enough" said he, ''to make a
man stop posing"
Then he went home, addressed an
envelope to Kathleen Otis, slipped
therein a one-dollar bill and after it
card, upon which he wrote:

FitZhugh planned well In making

Monday conference in his brokers'
office he had surmised the relations
between himself and Otis would
thenceforth be unamicable. His sur
.misal proved correct when not long
afterward he met Otis and his wife
one Sunday on the drive. He dotted
his silk hat with a Chesterfeldian
gesture-and was rewarded for his
courtiness by being ignored more
pointedly than if he had been an Ut
ter stranger.
Clearly after this there was but one
way for him to see Kathleen, and that
was by the aid of Artie Sparkle.

THE TWILIGHT OF JAZZ.

Prediction is made by delegates to the conven-
ton of the National Music Teachers association,
which began it's sessions in Chicago Wednesday,
that Jazz is the decline and that good music
: is to be given lease of life.
Unfortunately, persons not acquainted with
classical music kept from learning more about
it because they labor under The deuson that, since
It Is classical, it must be heavy" and incompre
hensibe to ordinary folk.
The faacy of this view clearly proved in
Albuquerque a few nights ago, when Robin Hood
presented at the High school auditorium. AL
though Robin Hood" is regarded masterpiece
of its kind it is sufficiently light and lively to be
appreciated by the veriest layman.
Further evidence that music can he classic
without being heavy is furnished by the Peer
Gnyt suite of Edward Grieg, the Norwegian COM
poser. His work is frequently spoken of as being
deep" and "Browningesque" the literary
productions of his compatrot, Henrik 1bsen,
Yet what could be animated provo
catve than "Anta's Dance?
Listen to the wild, barbarous abandon of the
movement. rejecting the unamed spirit of the
tribe to which Anita belongs Then slow, aurng
violin strains mingle with the more roickns
phrases, suggesting the Irresistible appeal of the
eternal feminine.
The most untutored nature could not fail to
respond to such music. Yet there are thousands
who eschew Grieg because they under the de-
fusion that his work is heavy"
Again, listen to another Peer Gynt selection
In the Han Of the Mountain King" First we
get that enigmatic, non-committal opening strain
-'sostenuto," the hgh-brows would call it, thereby
frightening garden-variety folk Follows a
date, almost majestic movement as if Grandpa
Goblin had just emerged from his crag- hole and
inspecting the general situation.
Then the tempo quickens, small COLLINS peep
out of their little dug-outs and join in a general
scamper
Still faster grows the movement, ending in
crashing crescendo of frank carousal as if all the
mysterious sprites of the dark forest had been let
loose in general bacchanalia
The spirit of the thing is simple that child
understand it and love it-and at the same
time be nourished with real music.
For in music well in literature and in
painting, the greatest classics the simplest.
