 What are they doing today in the oblivion of civilian routine to which they returned after their brief taste o flame and glory? Their names rang thoroughout the nation then-but the public forgot them long ago. It took great effort on the part of the U. S. Veterans bureau and NEA, service to find them again and even now some are still miss ing, others are dead. Oddly enough, Sergeant Alvin York was not one of the 10 as his feat was not generally known when the choices were made,

 General Pershing Is interested in the effort of the nations to set up machinery to settle their disputes by peaceful means, but k by no means sure that the world has reached the era when wars can al. ways be avoided. He is following the Manchurian situation closely, regarding 1t as test of strength of the worlds peace machinery.
 General Pershing is living a busy life. His official position is that of chairman of the battle monuments commission. He spends a great part of every year abroad. supervising the erection and place. ment of little monuments and the improvement of American cefne- teries. He will sail for Europe next year to complete this work.
 During the last two years Gen. eral Pershing has devoted much work to the writing of his memoirs. recently published. He remarks. facetiously that this job of writing two volumes Is among the most tiring tasks he has ever under taken.
 General Pershing lives quietly at one of Washington's exclusive clubs, not far from the war de- partment. He finds recreation in reading and an occasional game of

 Washington, Nov. 11.-(UP).-- General John J. Pershing who lead American forces to victory in the World war, believes the soldiers who fought the nations battles 13 years ago face a patriotic challenge to-day to help the United States through this period of economic stress.
 America's war leader advanced this thought in an informal talk with the United Press. General Pershing did not speak for quota tiOn. but he did discuss some of peace time problems.
 General Pershing sat in his of- flee in the war department. A large room, one the office of the secretary of the navy. Surrounding him were many books, most of them devoted to history and biography. his favorite subjects.
 At his back, on either side, stood two flags, one the Stars and Stripes, the other the flag of the A. E. F., which stood in his head quarters in France.
 Pershing was still the erect. military figure so familiar to Am ericans.
 The general has a very strong conviction that Americans should take their duties of citizenship more seriously. Particularly he la- n1ents the failure of so many eligible voters to exercise their franchise.
 Pershing holds that 1t Is the duty

John Barrymore presents a mar velous characterization of Tsara- kov. mad genius of the Russian ballet and Marian Marsh vies with him for honors as the exquisite Mana in "The Mad Genius" which opened a three day engagement at Warmers State to-day.
 Tsarakov, as portrayed by MT Barrymore. is weirdly glamorous-- sardonic-and always tragic-even in his moments of fieeting victory. He is a man embittered by a physl- cal deformity which makes 1t im- possible for him to express himself in the dance-a passion for which he has inherited from his mother.
