dor, observation-disclosures and cheerful
ness have won him its confidence.
Congressmen are bombarded by
thoughtless speeches and infiamma-
tory headlines, but they know that
they can always turn to General
marshall for a truthful, calm ac-
count of what is going on, as far as
1t can be divulged."
KNOWS ALL THE ANSWERS
The general, who has been in the
Army since he graduated from Viz
ginia Military Institute AZ years ago,
never has voted. He never has asked
any favors Of politicians, or given
any. He talks plain language to
Congress, and he can call on his
prodigious memory for a detailed
answer to almost any military ques-
ton.
An All-Southern tackle on the
1900 v. M. I. football team, General
Marshall still likes to speak in foot
ball terms. He got an appropria-
ton out Of congress for the 1910
war games with this clincher: You

Dame without scrimmage, would

Today, Of course, the generals
dealings with congress are only in
cidental. His days are spent at his
Office in the Pentagon building,
where he arrives between 1880 and 8
every morning. He has made a
lifetime practice of getting on the
job early, and once remarked that
mo one ever had an original
thought after 3 p. m"
While the war does not permit
him to meet this early mental dead
line, General Marshall tries to leave
by 5 o'clock. If the hour permits,
he rides horseback before dinner,
and even If he is late he usually
manages long walk.
REFRESHED BY WORK
He has had to give up tennis, ping
pong and bridge, along with sum-
mer vacations at his place on Fire
Island, N. Y, But he has arranged
his wartime schedule so that he may
spend almost every Sunday at his
farm in Leesburg, Va. The day is
devoted to hard physical work until,
as he says, he is physically ex-
hausted and mentally refreshed"
General and Mrs. Marshall live
simply in the quarters maintained

Myer. The general smokes and
drinks very moderately. The little

ASKS why NOT.
BASIC CHINESE?'.
BY JAMES McoLTNCY

ny ShNlEO NACOAbNNL
United Press StafR Correspondent
London, Nov. /. (UP)-"Why not
Basic Chinese instead OF Basic Eng
lish?" asked prominent Chinese Of
ficiai today, adding a new twist TO
the language controversy currently
raging among punditS here.
This esteemed and honorable
son Of the great nation in the East
is against international languages
on general principles, but he
pointed out with irrefutable Con-
fucian logic that far more people
already speak Chinese than speak
English. Hence. far fewer would
have to learn Basic Chinese II it
were adopted as a universal tongue.
Chinese Is basic already" he
said. I'VE say electric iron for cleo
trio iron, electric car for automo-
bile. and electric speech for tele-
phone. What could re- more basic2''
1t certainly sounded as simple as
basic English, which according to
the best authorities Is a lingo in
which a man in restaurant who
wants to order roast chicken asks
for 1.-THE fowl from a farm which
gives eggs and has been cooked to
a good brown in an oven"
If the same man wanted beer,
his only out would be to say "Give
me drink" and then keep saying
mo" at everything offered him
until he got the right thing-hardly
o basic approach to the matter.
The Chinese official estimated
between 1000 and 1900 Chinese
words would be enough to accom-
plish aimless assignments like re-
writing the Bible, which the propo-
nents of Basic English did with
their $50 words. He refused to let
his name be used because my
friends in the Basic English move
ment might misunderstood.
His aversion to an international
language was supported by the
noted English author, Rose Ma
cauley, who described Basic Eng
lish as "dwarfed, club-footed, and
boneless," and her opposition was
understandable because no such
wonderfully descriptive words ap-
pear In the Basic list.
The Chinese official said no ma
ton has the right to impose its
language on another, adding with
contradictory wistfulness, 1--WE
might just as well have the right
to make the Japanese speak Chi
nese.
cts bad policy for a nation to
insist that other people speak its
language" he continued. "It's lin
guistic imperialism. But If it's 60
ing to be done, it might as well be
Chinese as English. Chinese is a
very easy language to learn"

SOME PARTICULARS ABOUT A GENERAL :.
BY JAMES THRASHER
NEA STAFF Correspondent

washington, Nov. All the re-
cent speculation and wrangling
over the military future Of Gen.
George c. Marshall, unproductive
and unfortunate though it was, has
proved one significant fact. 1t has
shown conclusively that General
Marshall Is one of the most con-
sistently admired public figures in
this country's history.
Throughout the controversy there
was no criticism of the job he has
done, even from the most vocal pre-
war pacif1sts. And no one, not even
the bitterest and least responsible
guesser, ever has expressed a doubt
as to the sort of job the present
chief of staff may do in any assign
ment, whether in directing cross
channel invasion of Europe or as
supreme commander of all British
and American forces.
TRIBUTE FROM CHURCHILL
What sort of man is this soldier
who has stood in the center of tur-
mol like rock In whirlpool?
"He is a man Of singular emf
nence of mind and character"
Prime Minister Churchill told the
House of Commons in a speech last
summer.
HE is a man of great charm and
great firmness Of IDEAS" says a
high-ranking member of the British
Joint Chiefs of Staff in the United
States. "He will listen to argument,
but more often than not he will
cling to his own IDEAS"
HE is direct, and his mind Is
quick and imaginative" says Rep.
James Wadsworth Of New York.
when a decision is reached he in
sists that it go through without de-
lay. There Is no trace of pomposity
or self -seeking in George Marshall"
Even If he should remain at his
present post for the rest Of the war,
George Catlett Marshall probably
would be assured of a prominent
place in public affection In our hill
itary history. And this is unusual.
for a chief Of staff's duties usually
mark him for anonymity, while the
combat commanders, the Lees and
Jacksons and Pershings, are glori-
fed and remembered.
CONVINCES CONGRESS
Two factors, however, have al
tered the usual procedure in Gen.
eral Marshall's case. For one thing,
he is bossing the Army in the big
gest and most dispersed war we have
ever fought. Secondly, General Mar
shall is the first Chief Of Staff who
has been in charge Of the Army
from the beginning Of an emergency.
When he succeeded Gen. Malin
Craig in July, 1889, war seemed in
evitable although the country was
overwhelmingly opposed to it. The

Only two complaints were receiv-

complained boys were throwing
stones, while another resident said
boys were breaking milk bottles.

he Is still a fine figure of an officer,
"a grazing sandy hair, vivid blue
eyes, broad, good-humoured H. i,
and plenty Of strength In his
strait nose and firm upper lip.
General Marshall likes things
done quickly, but there is no excite
ment in his makeup. He has been
called "the most objective man in
the. United States Army" If there is
official head-chopping to be done,
he does it without hesitation.
Besides being respected for the
absolute fairness of his most severe
judgments, the chief of staff is adj
mired for his kindness. Recently
he took a few precious minutes to
write a personal note OF sympathy
