ami scraped together every bit of un
pleasant inform.iition regarding Persh

ful way launched forth in tt literal
lirade of ven«i:nosity against tin* great
warrior.
It is most complimentary to the
grade of friendship that Pershing in
spires to say, that after the senator
had sawed and hacked his reputation
to his own complete satisfaction and
had declared most vehemently against
retaining such a mail sis |*iina.nent ,

Perhaps the greatest and roost plead
ing; trait of Pershing's character is h s
habit ««f not “blowing his own horn”
or issuing scarehcnd newspaper de
nials of the things said about him,
even though his friends know th:it
many or these things are untruthful'
ami unjust. To the .soldiers who have
weathered many a campaign under1
him is this particularly ple.-i.sing. They
compare the grim, silent warrior to,
the mighty linn who disdains the
frenzied yappings of fox-terrier puli -
In thirty five years of unbroken
» rvice to the Ignited State* every
laurel won hy General Pershing tins
is-en earned. He .served as Lieuten
ant of Favalry dining the Apache and
Sioux ccjnpaigns In the early days,
was in <’ubn In 1898, Philippine Islands
in 1899-1903, and waa military attache
to Kuroki's army in Manchuria dur
ing the lviiHKO-.lapn.neKc war. For
services in commarul of the American
troops sent into Mexico after Villa in
1916 ih«* was m.ule Major General. Tn
l«oint of .service rende.red and In all
around ability he wan the logical choice
for Pomm.-uKler-in-chief during the
JKt*t greet war. How well ho and his
charges aejuitted themselves is now
American—and European history.
Throughout his whole career Pvrsh
ing has been a *-lose-lipped man of
f w words, many deeds and many ac
tions. He has a way of saying much
hi a single sentence. He pi'oiiu-KeK
nothing and achieves great things. He
Is a doer; riot a talker. A thorough
American fighting man.
In all the patriotic utterances
brought out in the hist war there are
none more simple or grand than the
brief sentence of Pershing's at the
tomb of I^«/ay*-tte. "Lafayette,” said
the great General. "We are here."
