a EAYBE you noticed that General Pershing had
wi birthday last week, and maybe you didn't,
for the papers said little about it.
There didn't begin to be the noise there would
have had it been the anniversary of motion
picture doughnut such Mr. Reginald Prettyeeth or
Miss Priscilla Hips
In fact it was a shock to meet the general in
type for he's a stranger to the printed page-and
Of his own choice.
What wonder he is, to keep still while all the
world is broadcasting. to shun the hmelght when
everybody else beseeches it. to Scorn the whoop-la
which to the rest is life itself!
If he wished it. General~Pershng could saddle the
headlines and sit there always for yes, he is our
most distinguished citizen he was the foremost fig
IRE in our greatest war and he tall enough to
look the worlds best fighters in the eye.
LIE added the final touch which made the Amer
lean army poison to the kaiser; he gave it iron,
audacty, resourcefulness from his personality
he read politicians easily maps; he whipped
the enemy and saved his army from the allies who
wished it for replacement
Had that war gone another year, many think Perish
ing would have been supreme commander, and had
that exalted responsibility come his way, he would
have assumed it without fuss and without fear; he
would have done the job superbly-and he would have
had no press agent.
When he came back from France, interest, which
wished to exploit him, camped round him, thick as
blackbirds he was rendered everything from political
pastry to financial shortcake; but he turned it all
down!
A S soldier and citizen, he reminds us of Sherman,
IA and We are glad that like Sherman, he told the
politicians to keep of the grass.
Sherman, you know. declined the presidency sew
eral times while his brother John was chasing it
vainly.
Grant would have been far better of had he never
seen the White House, and is Pershng.
In the age of mechanical warfare. the common
soldier has little feeling for commanders. but the
World war soldier has great and growing respect
for Pershing.
Here's TO you, general.
You're man of steel and sense and silence you're
the best we've got. and We hope you live to be hun
dred-if you care to.M

Danger Ahead

XKTE can be proud of human
w progress as represented by
battleships, skyscrapers, and dyna-
mite, and still see danger in its
unrestrained continuance. We can
recognize all its benefits and ad-
vantages, without admitting that it
represents perfection.
Other people are happy even
though they haven't as many auto
mobiles as we have, and other
people are thinking constructively
even though obliged to get along
with much less broadcasting.
To q measurable extent, the
mechanization on which we insist
represents form of tyranny, which,
though interesting because Of its
newness, is none the less genuine.

Companionate Drinking

A T least one good has come out
n of prohibition. New York has
learned how agreeable and pleasant
companionate drinking can be. The
best argument against the old
fashioned saloon was the fact that
it set up sex discrimination. Women
could go in only through the back
door.
The familiar and wholly truthful
picture Of the workers wife waiting
for Mike to come home, with his
pay or without it, was based upon
the fact that he could isolate him
self in an establishment where con-
tact with his loved ones was diff
cult, if not impossible.
But in the modern speakeasy.

quently husbands and wives 60 to-

Do We Know Too Much?

GOMETIMES one wonders whether
- we already are not in possession
of more knowledge than we can ap-
ply wisely, whether it would not be
a good idea to stop the inventing
for while and give that thing we
call judgment a chance to catch up.
Sometimes it seems as though We
we're much like children with sharp
tools in their hands, and that our
power to do things Wwas greatly in
excess Of our ability to determine
whether they ought to be done.
Sometimes it is hard to get over
the notion that mechanics are
driving US toward savagery, making
us like the steel which forms the
skeleton Of it all, enslaving US to
soulless systems and robbing us Of
that freedom to think and fashion
for ourselves, which, after all Is
the only distinction between man
and the rest Of animate creation.

ment. That contribution not be measured in
money But it is not uniting to recall that this
year Jewish philanthropies have mounted to more
than $72O0OOOO.
Much of this money has been given to non-Jewish
philanthropies; such as the s1OoOoOO0 Falk founda
tion the 100000 Bamberger educational fund, the
100000 Mastbaum gift for Rodin museum and
many others.
Finally on this occasion of the Jewish holidays,
Americans may express the hope that the anti
Semitic movements which have spread suffering and
terror among this ancient race in certain foreign
countries soon may subside.

Ninety thousand Votes

a T a recent luncheon Mr.. Fish
1 A predicted that in the next ma
tional election q the COMMUNISTS
would poll 100000 votes. This is a
figure far in excess of the widest
Communist dream, and Communist
dreams are more than usually wild
1t is a very generous estimate for
party which contains no more
than 10000 members in the whole
United States.
1t is well to remember that one
may stand for recognition of Rus
STA and even profess admiration for
certain things which the SoViets have
done and still retain nothing but
an amused contempt for local Com
munist activities.
In fact, this is the attitude of Ger
tain Russian leaders. They will adj
NIT that their representatives here
are poor lot.
Activities in the United States are
conducted merely to encourage the
folk back home. It is not even
movement, it is a gesture.
Russian Communism, whether you
like it or not, has taken on all the
sincerity and all the fanaticism of
a religion. Communism in America
is merely a racket.

 SENTENCED TO DEATH
New Trials Refused Irene
 Schroeder and Glenn Dague

New Castle, Pa, August 3 (UP)- Mrs. Irene Schroeder and W. Glenn Dague were sentenced to die in the electric chair for the murder of Corporal Brady Paul, state highway policeman, and their petitions for new trials were refused by Judge R. L. Hildebrand today
 Defense Attorneys Ben Jarrett and Thomas W. Dickey announced they would fife a bill of exceptions and appeal to the state supreme court from the death penalty.
 The date of their execution will be set by the governor.
 The court held there was lnsuffi- cient evidence to warrant d new trial and that the convicted killers had been judged and fairly sentenced to pay the death penalty by a Lawrence county jury.
 Pleas for a new trial were based on the claim of the defense that the trial court erred in not permitting the plea of irresistible impulse" to rob and murder. The judge also erred in his charge to the jury, the defense contended.

Animals Least Likely to Suffer
 In Drought and Shortage of Food,
 Government Scientist Says Today
Furred and Feathered Inhabitants of Forests Show More Sense Than Humans by Failing to Get Excited When Thermometer Rises-More
 Fish Die Than Any Other Species.

Washington, August S LP)-Gov- ernment scientists asserted today that of all the creatures of earth, not excepting the man, the wild den- ziens of the forests probably are least vulnerable to danger or dis comfort from the drought wave,

 The greatest danger is that of food shortage he said. Tt would result in concentration of the birds in the least severely stricken spots and that would increase their peril from natural enemies It might all so expose them to ruthless hunt ing by men deceived about the plentifulness of species by the concentration in a single area"
 Dr. Bell said ducks on the north western breeding grounds would suffer from a food shortage if un- broken aridity in the next month should bring about a scarcity of insects and water plants. But their young are beyond harm from temp erature of fire, he emphasized, for the nesting season is over.
