The whirluind swept through nfle-n towns across a dozen training h" Ids. Kvctyone felt i' Heed when Pershing left. Hut th results were pronounced the text day. When a soldier came to attention he came to attention right, lien sprang when an officer paused tlrem in the street. I larhage-tubs that hadn't been covered were covered next day xni out ou the training-field they were puttitisr more snap, more ferocity into th" bavonet work. Efficiency and discipline had taken a sudd-u spring upward. Perching sets the example for his Artny. "On p-irRd' ." in public, lie never relaxes from his rigid soldierly bearing. At work he drives himself. People who know the Ceneral intimately say he does relax on private occasions at mess, for instance. Hut when he works he works drive, drive. drie; take no excuses, set it done now ! His office is in the renter of a big

! building with the other departmental

f ffiees ranging for a block in two directions. Kiiom 31 is where the General works. There be sits nt bis desk, in a hard, straight-back office-chair, push-buttons- and phone within arm's reach, directing. consulting, infusing his de;-.n rtment s beads with the imindomitable, battering-ram spirit that brought him to the bend of .America's greatest Army, now in the makinir. I To is strict, severe. Yet. they tell of a dough-boy who rolled into camp down in Mexico, famished for food after 56 hours on the road without a bi'.e. 1 walked into a W nt. salut;! and a.'r.nl the officer for something to eat. The officer beard the man's story arid himself went to the oook-bha U and ordered tho cook to prepare dkttt"r or ,r,e doughboy. ' 1 io you know v. h" C-it m '''" : he cook ai-ked, H3 he shoved a .-teak at the hungry lad. "Nope," between mouthfuls f lash. "That was General Persuing." That soldier, still in the Army M'-r General Pershing is. the great eft soldier ever. There is one map on the walls the office. There are sins-ulatly ff.v papers on tlie grn ral s d.sk; a rlean-desk man. Suspended from a red i ib'.n owr near the window is an engraved salutation to General Pershing pr : 1 1 -"i by the townspeople when be moved to General IIeudjuarters from Paris. The French authorities in preparing tlie buiiding f-ir American 'ei.upalioii wanted p, have a famous orti."--t paint the Slats and Stripes on otic v.ail in ".msl,mnt to America. Pershing war. dip!imatic about it and the walls are still pure white. Perhaps because of it perhaps in spite of his soldierly conduct in public Genera! Pershing :s different. If it depended -.n his si'eeches. he couldn't -be elected dog-catcher of a country iilage. He is a soldier, not an orator jet in his position abroad he has frerpaently come through situations requiring tin exercise of high quality :- 'if st.'itesriianships and diplomacy. Ho has no invariable tin e f.,r coming t" the office. He may s.ttle some important matters at home in tin: halfhour after breakfast. Put usually he is deep in the daj's grind bv eight o'clock. At mess "shop-talk" is taboo. Art. literature, sports an thing but the. crushing, destroying business uf war in any of lis phases may occupy the mealhour. The mess consist" o:" General Pershing, another general, two colonels and a caplain. W lien the day's work ! done when tlie department heads lave reported with their reoommendat ions, their newideas, their ptogrc.'iH or , r " .'-s' s, if there is no matter of unusual pressure, the General goes ridinpr. perhaps he gets into his machine and roils to a lonely wooded spot w?;?i h major w7: has his confidence. If so. they dismount and walk through tho woods, miles from the worries of the Army, Tlie General may walk five miles at a In isk pace, meeting the automobile again at the other side of the forest or across a valley.
