 He has betrayed land broken with the friends who have given him loyal and unselfish devotion for years. He has abandoned the principles which he advocated with voice and pen ever since he entered public life. He has de- serted and attempted to destroy the party which honored him. He has convicted himself of in- sincerity, inconsistency. ingrati- tude and untruthfulness. He has shamed his past and discounted his future. "-Sena,or Harding in 1912.

was with the Tenth cavalry in the
Santiago campaign, Cuba, and there
formed the acquaintance of President
Roosevelt, who was later instrumental
in bringing about his rapid promotion.
General Pershing in 1902 fought the
Moros; and in 1906 was with Kurokfs
army in Manchuria. He served on the
general staff from 1903 until 1906.
was later commander Of the depart
ment of Mindanao and governor OF
Moro province. and in June, 1913, de-
feated the Moros in battle at Bagsas.
General Pershing was in command or
the expeditionary force which went to
the Mexican border in 1913 and pur-
sued the bandit Villa in Mexico.
The browning achievement OF Perish
ing's career was of course his work
as commander of the American expedi-
tionary forces in the World war. He
has been decorated by all of the al
lied governments, and received the
thanks of congress, which conferred
upon him the highest rank in the
army. General Pershing is a widower,
his wife and three daughters having
lost their lives in the burning of his
home on the Preside on August q,
1915.
General Pershing is credited with
having been one of the small group
Of strong personalities who dominated
the allied side in the struggle which
ended in the defeat of Germany. II
was the rock-ribbed determination OF
Pershing to organize an American
army as a separate entity that prevail
ed over the appeals of Marshal Joffre.
Foch and other allied commanders 10
have the Americans incorporated with
the more experienced French and
| English forces.
| Pershing's deep belief in the in
herent fighting qualities of the Amer
lean soldier was shared by President
Wilson and Secretary of War Baker.
! His insistenCe that an American army
! be formed was backed by the pres
ident, and eventually Pershing's judg-
ment was indicated every time the
American unit engaged in battle.

WANT BILLIONS

The army and navy are asking OF
Congress $70O.000,000 more for the
coming fiscal year than they received
for the current year.
In round figures, the War and
Navy Departments have presented
estimates totaling 81 500 .0O0, 900, as
against actual appropriations Of
1856 ,0O0,0 900 for the present year.
ALARMED At CONGRESS.
Federal officials point out that II
Congress merely allowed the two
branches OF the service continua-
tion of the current appropriation, in
stead of the vast increase asked. a
saving OF nearly three-quarters OF
billion dollars would be made to the
taxpayers.
They are alarmed over the present
apparent temper Of the House Appro-
priations Committee to regard the
army and navy appropriations as haN-
the right of way and to throw the
full brunt of economy and retrench-
ment on the other establishments OF
the government.
