Stewart of the United Press, Europe will have to do one of two things after the war: 1. Accept a far lower standard of living than heretofore, or, 2. Cancel all war debts and start afresh with a clean slate. It is impossible to calculate, for instance, what England’s war debt alone will be, because nobody knows how much longer the war will last. “Certainly, however, the figure will be so enormous as to stagger the im- agination. Even if the struggle should end be- fore 1917 the English would have to pay annually, in interest, more than the total of their government’s yearly ante-bellum expenses. Taxation was high before the war. How is the country going to stand a burden more than twice as heavy? For one thing, economists say, pro- |- duction will have to be greatly in- creased. ¢ This, they expect, will be accom- plished by the use of improved ma- chinery, by a higher degree of effi- ciency than in the past and by the employment of great numbers of wo- men who were not industrial fac-j tors before the war broke out. These economists themselves, how-i| ever, do not pretend the difference |night, when there will be 5 real bat- »|* BRIGADIER GENERAL * .| war of extermination. against the towel spregds trachoma, @ disgase of the eyes?

But that is = the. . distinction , accorded Brigadier_General John J. Pershing, the “man of sorrow” of the army, whose beautiful. wife and three baby girl children were burned to death in a fire that destroyed their home in San Francisco, August 27, 1915.; Many and picturesque are the tales told of this Beau Brummel of the army; a handsome, dashing soldier; brilliant and bloody in battle, equal- ly brilliant in bleodless conquests; hero of romance and strife; a lin- guist, diplomat, scholar; a man who won his rank as much through peaceful conquering of his enemies as through daring leadership in mili- tary campaigns against them. . Talks to Enemy. Pershing and the Philippines are synonymous. It was Pershing, then Captain Pershing of the First, later the Fjfteenth Cavalry—who drew the task of subduing the fanatical Moros on, Mindanag and _Jolo. He was given -2,200 men—and free _reign. Not one of those men was. sacrified in battle. Instead of beginning a Moros, Capt. Pershing, began a study of their language. Ijl;e spon mastered He _assembled the natical Mohammedans, on Fridays (their Sundays) and.taking texts fi Koran, talked to them.on recongjliation with_the United, States government. In this way, without fighting a single battle, he won all but two of the mauntain. tribes, and was, concentrated a Datto by the sul- tans of the tribes.

Colonel Dodd was commandant al ‘the- United States barracks at Col- umbus, Ohio, for four years. Hast September .he was . transferred;| to Douglas, Ariz. - Colonel:Dpdd was. wounded at San- tiago, July 1, 1898. _He is a recog- nized authority on cavalry and is author of a _book on training and handling. cavalry horses and men. When the great flood came in 1913 Dodd acted promptly by having his men..clean, up and aid the.stricken west side of Columbus. Colonel Dodd is a West Pointer from Penn- sylvania. His first active service ‘was in suppressing the Cheyenne up- rising_under. . Little. Wolfe in Ne- brasks, in the 70s. For 27 years Dodd was attached to the Third Cavalry. While at Fort Riley, Kansas, he developed his com- mand to such technical proficiency that the troops were in demand for exhibition purposes.in the East. His troopers exhibited at Madison Square Garden, New York, and also in Bos- ton and Washington. In 1908 Dodd was commissioned as colonel.. , Colonel Dodd comes from a mijlitary family. . His. father, an of- ficer, was killed in the Civil War. However, none of his three sons have entered the army. Of Dodd’s three daughters two have married army of- ficers. |FARMER FATHER OF 16 GHILDREN AT 42 Thief River Falls, March 24.— Kasper Weiner, a farmer and cigar- maker, 42 years old, of Smiley, Pen- nington county, is' not an advocate of race suicide.

Taxes must be much heavier to cover the deficit. | The only. conclusion is that indus- trial England will be. compelled. to| werk jnore, than twice as hard as be- fore. the war, for less pay. Possibly pecause they are them- selves heavy inyestors in the allies’ war loans, the English propertied classes, even the small fry, generally | strongly oppose a wiping out of the | war indebtedness and insist that whatever new and harder conditions may come, should be accepted cheer- fully. But will they? Apparently there is considerable room for .doubt. The creditor element, though in- fluential, is in a hopeless minority, of course. ..There are, plenty of hints that the majority will not respond enthusiast- ically ,to the, suggestion that the masses. accept, after the war, even shorter, commong than they had to make, the hest of before the war’s oufbreak. It is, fair, to say that some enlight- including a number of ho. e subscribed liberally to the war loans, are disposed at least to consider the idea of cancelling these obligations. ‘hey do not use the word ‘“repu- diation.” They say the country’s foreign_indebtedness, which, how- ever, is_small compared with what anlishmen have loaned to their own goyernment, must be paid. But it may proye expedient, they admit, to regard loans made to the national war chest by the English themselves as contributions from those best able to afford them. Some take the.position. that Eng- land’s. loans to her allies should sim- ilarly be wiped out. Adoption of such a scheme obyi- ously would mean the unique situa- tion of a war burden.falling on the rich instead.of the poor. At the same time that it would mean a heayy. loss for the “classes’” it,yould, also. mean a gain for the “magses,’, & levgling-up process his~ torically,, uppregedented. +D0 .YOU KNOW THAT crushing power., Their strong moyn- tain. forts fell, before his opslaught until forty had been captured and their last stronghold . taken..

Angry arose, some charging that the pro- jmotion was due.to. favaritism.

He later fought again the Sioux Indians in the Dakotas, served as military instructor of ca- dets at the University of Nebraske;| and as administrator of affairs in:the' provinces of Mindanao and Jolo, Phil-| ippine Islands. .He speaks almost every quern language, as well as the tongues of many Indian and Phil- ippine tribes.
