II the president to place General

General Pershing will be appointed

In the event of war. General Per-

tine OF peace the chief OF staff will
remain the military head OF the army.
It is not unlikely that General Har-

chief OF staff in France. will succeed
General March as chief Of staff OF
the army.

retary Weeks. Its purpose will be
to keep US instantly prepared for
active military operations. The de-
tails will be given out later, but
General Pershing will be the head OF

difficult to arrange, owing to the
wording of the laws. but the chief
OF staff will continue to direct the
administration OF the army in time
of peace.
"In this way the army is to be
made ready in time OF peace to act
instantly ard effectively in time OF
war. Before the late. war Marshal
Toffre had been selected to command
the armies al France and had pre-
pared skeitonized headquarters that
would be available for instant action
in case Of war and it so functioned
when war was declared. We can do
no better than follow that success

ALL a "SlMPlE MAN" KNEW

But one thing that man did know,
and that was that God never made a
day that was not all right. Whether
IL ralned or showed or blew or shone
it was fine day with him. Meet
him anywhere and you would never
catch him without smile on his face
and CHEEKY. Nice day. OH his
lips.
And this man who was short. in the
upper story did more to make folks
feel good inside of them and inspire
them to look on the bright side OF
life than any other farmer in The
neighborhoOd. We all went OH after
we had met him in the road with a
warmer feeling in our hearts. think
ing: Now, maybe it really is a better
day than l had thought 1t was"
No man could have spoken a great
er truth than our good old friend OF
the CHEEKY smile and the optimistic
thought. Edward Everett. the great
orator, went far across the country
once to speak at the dedication Of q
great public institution. 1t was =
stormy day and people did not look
very happy as they stood around I'M
der their dripping umbrellas. Watch
Ing the expression on their faces, Mr..
Everett said with a big smile all over
his face: This IS a fine day. God
made 1t, and He never made day that
was not just the best He could make
, It."
y Sometimes 1t seems to us that things
In this old world Of ours are pretty
badly mixed up these days. It is quito
fashionable to say: 1--WE never saw
anything like this" Things might be
great deal worse with us than they
are. And everything Is coming out
all right, but you and must bring
them out right, or they never will be
right.
All our friend knew was that all the
days are simply fine He could not
