titled in Forbes trial in Chicago

NO WEST POINT LIARS,
SAYS GENERAL PERSHlNG

Several Objectionable features in
a movie dedicated to him were
noted last night by Gen. John j..
Pershing, at a special showing of
the film before the patients OF
Walter Reed Hospital in the Red
Cross hut. General Pershing has
recommended that two parts of the
film be changed.
The features which the former
A. r. F.. commander objected, con-
Germ the action of a West Point
cadet who lied to keep from being
dismissed from the academy, and Il
remark made by one of the char
acters in the film to the effect that
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant ''is easily
influenced by friends"
General Pershing believes that
the offending act of the West Point
cadet is a reflection on the institu-
ton and that a young man trained
there would be above such action.

all around, Johnny. You should

You did wrong in taking a
