"BIack Jack" Shows the Way

A vote of the A. e. E. to name irs
most distinguished appearing soldier
would reveal a formidable candidate
in the person of Gen. John j. Pershing.
Not only was "Black Jack" an ace
for appearance-he knew the drill
manuals from cover to cover and he
recognized the necessity OF the dis
cipIine he demanded of his soldiers.
A story of Christmas day. 1919,
President Wilson and party, and Gen
eral Pershing, emphasizes the latter
fact. "They all stopped at the vii
Iage of Sarrey, Haute Marne," relates
Charles r. Cabot of Boston. "fOllow-
ing their Christmas dinner with men
and officers of the Twenty-sixth di-
vision.
Besides the President and Mrs.
Wilson and General Pershing, Lieut..
Gen. Hunter Liggett, Admiral Cary
GraysOn, Monsieur and Madame JUS
serand were among the party. They
inspected the mer's qu" "rters in Sar-
rey, where equipment was laid out on
the haylOft hunks we occupied.
"One of the ladies, perhaps Mrs.
Wilson, was curious to know how the
shelter halves could be made into
pup tent. WhereupOn, General Perish
ing kneIt quickly, gathered the shelter
halves. rifles and tent pins of two of
the men. Then he set up a pup tent
in the straw.
"When the tent was erect, Black
Jack turned away. But President
Wilson touched him on the shoulder
and said: AS your commanding Off
Ger, | desire you to leave this equip
ment as you found it,
General Pershing quickly bent
down. refolded the shelter halves and
rearranged all the equipment in its
proper place."
The Ely miner., 1930-10-31

that as it was impossible to have tri-
umphal arches or great memorials in
all places from which came the heroes
of the World war, she begged them to
adopt the poppy as tribute to the
men who won the victory.
"Out of every great event of the
world has come an emblem" she
wrote, "Lest we forget Into this
war went many emblems: The flags
of nations, the Red Cross, the Red
Triangle, the service flag and pin.
Now out of this war should come some
symbol perpetually to remind us and
unfailingly to teach coming genera
tions the value of the light of liberty
and our debt to those who so valiant
ly saved it for u.s."
On the eve of the Georgia State
convention of the American Legion,
August 10 and 20, 1920, in Augusta,
Miss Michael went to the Legion head
quarters in Atlanta and turned over
to them her arguments concerning the
adoption of the poppy. Charles Nj.
Galliene of Post No. /, Atlanta, took
charge of the material and presented
the movement to the convention. 1t
was adopted and the delegation to the
national convention was instructed to
present it at Cleveland, Ohio, and to
support the resolutions. The resolu-
tions were presented to the national
convention in September, 1920, and the
poppy became the National American
Legion Memorial Flower.
The happy inspiration which this
southern woman had has not been con-
fined in it's result to this country alone.
For her idea has spread to other coun-
tries. Madam E. Guerin of Paris read
Miss MichaePs poem pledging to
keep the Faith,' and her plans for
wearing poppies to memorialiZe the
sacrifices of the war; She immediate
ly organized the American and French
Children's league and sold poppies for
the benefit of the orphans in France.
In an official report, which she issued
on February s, 1922, from Canada
on Poppy days, she announced: "The
great war veterans have sold 100000
small poppies and 100000 large ones,
clearing $4,000 for their relief work,
and for the French, $4,000 to go to
the poor French children of the bat
tlefelds."
In England the poppy program -four
ished tremendously. Earl Haig's Brit
ish Legion adopted the selling and
wearing of poppies in 1921 and since
that time more than $11 100000 has
been cleared for ex-service men. In
1927 alone the British legionnaires
sold 2S,OOO,000 poppies and made a
profit of S2,522,0OO. In 1923 the sales
reached the $3,OOO,OOO mark. In every
British community, no matter how re-
mot, from the mother country, ami
versary Of the armistice is observed
by the sale of poppies. The full list
of overseas collections from poppies,
as printed in the 1927 report of the
British Legion, assumes the appear
ance Of a gazetteer of the world. There
are listed there the Azores, Egypt, the
Grand Canary islands, Morocco, Nige-

ria, the Sudan, the Orange Free State,
Bermuda, British Guiana, Trinidad.
Borneo, British Malaga and dozens
and dozens of other countries.
Instead of the poppy becoming ma
tional emblem, as the Poppy Lady
first dreamed, it has become an in
ternational emblem. In Europe, be-
sides the British Isles and France. 10
countries wear the blood-colored bios
SONS In their lapels: Italy, Holland,
Germany, Spain, Belgium, Sweden,
Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Rumania
oh, almost every corner of the
globe. Poppies are even worn in Japan,
China, Mexico, Asia Minor and in ev-
cry country of North and South Amer
lea.
In America the Poppy day sales
have been conducted by five patriotic
organizations: the American Legion,
the Legion auxiliary, Veterans of For
eign Wars, War Mothers and the
French League for Children. The
national poppy chairman of the Aux
iliary of the Legion in her annual re-
port, October, 1923, gave these inter-
esting figures: "Over 100000 was
raised during the poppy drive this
year to be used solely for welfare
work 80 hospitals and work
shops were used to make the poppies.
Two thousand three hundred and for
ty-eight men from every state in the
Union were employed in this poppy in
dustry this year and $50, 3,165.9S was
paid them for their work. Often the
money earned by the men is the means
of daily existence"
The poppies are made by disabled
veterans in hospitals in the East, at
piece-work cost and the state depart
ments of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
all taken certain quotas. A small
amount is deducted for national and
state relief and the rest goes to the
posts that sell the poppies to be used
as their relief needs arise. The veter-
ans are paid one and one-quarter cents
for every poppy they make and some
of them are skillful enough to turn
out from 800 to 400 poppies in a day,
thereby earning about $500.
Funds realized by the sale of pop
pies go to aid many relief works con-
Quoted by the veterans organizations.
Some of it goes to the V. f. w. ma
tional home at Eaton Rapids, Mich,
where orphans of deceased veterans
are being reared by the V. F. w.
Some of it goes to the American
Legion war orphans billet at Otter
lake, Mich, where the children, whose
fathers were taken from them by the
tragedies Of war, are kept in honey
