ly does not involve much work. If
he views few companies, battalions
or regiments, he has the idea that
the life of soldier must be a
wonderful thing and uncohsciously he
falls into the habit of thinking that
all the work a general has to do is
to sit in a finely appointed Office and
give orders to subordinates who, in
turn, carry out his demands without
hesitation, trouble or delay.
If one desires to know just how
the highest ranking officer in our
Army works, he should spend a day
or SO with him and watch him as he
directs our forces in all parts of our
possessions. Then the onlooker will
understand that John ]. Pershing has
a mans size job on his hands, for he
must never be out of touch with the
hundred and odd thousand officers
and men that at present comprise
our land forces. He must, no matter
in what part of the country he is, be
in touch with the far-away Philip
pines; must know how things are
going today in Hawaii; must be con-
rersant with the days happenings in
Porto Rico; must have his fingers on
the strings that control our soldiers
in the great reaches of Alaska; must
know how things are at the posts

with which he handles problems that
come before, him every hopr-prob-

how he manages to have such a grasp

Gen. Pershing Is continually on the
job and he takes the job seriously.
1t was the writer's good fortune
the other day to sit in the room with
him and watch him as he earned his
salary as the general Of the Army,
and he certainly earned every penny
of the money that Uncle Sam hands
him at the end Of the month. If he
were working for some vast corpora
ton he would receive many times as
much in his pay envelope as he does.
A man with such a capable mind
deserves more money than the pay
of general, for competent executives
are hard to find. Little men can
be hired for a few dollars; big men
cost real money.

get the general to talk of these
things. there are men who served In
France at the time that know and
are not backward in expressing their
opinions. One of them, an officer, said
TO the writer in 1918: +'If I had been
