PERSHING
-*
When John Joseph Pershing and his little army of;
American regulars land in France to return the favor ex
tended by Marquis de Lafayette there is one certain Brit
ish general of brigade who occupies a unique position and •
here’s a bet that he will know he has been somewhere be-!
fore th war is over, even though he be already a veteran.
This brigadier represents our foremost ally. In
the days of the marquis we were stringing her like a hor
net while fighting free and the French were giving her
‘‘what for” with a vengeance, all on account of King
George III., tyrant with far more Prussian and Hessian
than Anglo-Saxon blood in his veins. That Hessian strain
still runs in the British royal family, but is not so predom
nant, hence we find the enemies of old united for the com
mon good of the world.
But back to John J. and his British brigadier aide.
John is one of America’s finest and our foremost field of
ficer. He is a cavalryman, an ordnance officer, a lawyer,
an instructor in military tactics and a strategist par excel
lence. He was an observer with Gen. Kuroki’s army in
Manchuria, and all know how he put our midget force into
Mexico last year just as far as he could reach, so far-that
they became alarmed back at Washington lest his line of
communication l>e broken. His armv did not have to re
%
sort to trench warfare and bombing, but it’s a safe bet
they have studied up on it and here’s another tip:
After John gets started the world will know a lot more
than it does now about the efficiency of the Hindenberg
method of fighting. If there is a weak spot John’s men
will have the steel into it in j/g time.
And John will be somewhere near. John will probab
ly be about as close as possibe to activity at all times and
of course the brigadier will be along.
Sir Douglas Haig and Gen. Nivelle will find their i
American ally a regular fellow and when those three get
to sitting up late o’ nights thinking of new things to do to
Fritz the poor, long suffering Germans will just about
turn on Bill and his Hessian autocrats and give* ’em (Jie
boot.

CONFLICTING BATTLE REPORTS
In view of the conflicting reports from Berlin, on the
one hand, and from London and Paris, on the other, con
cerning the series of battles now being fought along the
western front, it is well to bear in mind the point of view
from which these reports are written.
The Germans regard every forward thrust of the ene
my as an attempt to break through. The British and
French insist these operations, where little gain is regist
ered, are merelv to wear out the Germans and force them
to use up their man power and throw in the reserves.
The battle of the Marne is generally regarded as one;
of the decisive engagements of history. Yet in reporting
it the Berlin war office chronicled “a mere rear guard ac
tion, fought so as to enable our engineers to build intrench
ments in the rear. We took 3,POO of the enemy prisoners
in this engagement.”
If the battle of the Marne was really a German vic
tory, as appeal’s from this report, we may have to revise
all our views of the war. Perhaps we may learn, in time,
the reason the Germans did not take Paris was not be
cause they were whipped and turned back, but because, lie- j
ing good sportsmen, they decided not to take advantage1
of the unpreparedness of the French and English, but to
dig themselves in for a few years until the enemy was
able to cope with them.—(Juneau Empire.)_
