Pershing's Tribute to His Men.

Gen. Pershng, too. expressed himself
in terms which were at wide variance
with those of Ambassador Harvey when
he gave the reason why American boys
went to France.
"They fell doing what we would have
them do" he said they fought Tor
eternal right, for justice, as did the
founders of this great Republic pefore
them. The freedom of mankind was
their battle cry / saw them go forward
wearied in body, yet intrepid, resolute'
cheerful of spirit scornful of dangers.
They advanced with undaunted courage
TO save a well nigh lost cause Oniy
those who fought with them can ever
know the height of religious devotion
and patriotism to which they rose. All
these men were great Americans. May
they rest always under the care OF a
patriotic people and may their deeds
always inspire us TO better things.

interrupted by the convention.
Dr. Weismann thereupon addressed
the delegates that neither directly
nor Indirectly is it the purpose. of
the world Zionist organization to
use one penny of this fund anywhere
except in Palestine.
This did not satisfy the delegates
who demanded that Senator Straus
withdraw his remarks.

turned onto the shipping problem.
Has Confidence In Man.
The job ahead is one of liquidation
without sacrifice to the interests of
the government. II is a task of SELL
ing ships and salvaging as much as
possible of the proceeds for the gov
ernment. Mr.. LaSker is shrewd
negotiator and possessed of a loyalty
which makes President Harding feel
absolutely safe that he can turn over
the whole shipping question to the
new chairman without further worry
The tales of graft and irregularity
in the shipping situation have come
to the cars of the President, who has
felt that some one who wasn't tied
up with the shipping interests would
have a detached viewpoint and serve
the government better than one who
was engaged in the operation of ships.
MIR. LaSker is member of the
American Jewish committee, the first
of his race to be summoned to a high
place in the Harding administration.
He has been active in. politics about
three years. but in that short time
has come to be recognized as an as
set to the party-a driving force and
genius for organization. a man who
is destined to climb higher some day
in the Harding administration when
the job of selling ships is ended.
