Gen. John Joseph Pershing, known to the military as ‘‘Black Jack” Pershing who is to lead America’s first battle unit against the Germans, has been a fighter of Indians, Fillipinos and Mexicans. A year ago in March, then a brigadier general, he commanded the column which went into Mexico in search of Villa and held his line many months against menacing movements of Mexican troops. He served in Cuba in 1898 and later in successful operations against the Moros in the Philippines. Earlier in his military career he had fought the Apache and Sioux Indians in the west. General Pershing, who is nearly 57 years old, is a native of Missouri. University of Nebraska, but later cntered the West Point military acadamy, from which he was graduated in 1886. He married a daughter of Senator Warren of Wyoming, but lost his wife and three children in & fire &t the Presidio, San Francisco, two years ago, and he became known as ‘“‘th> man of sorrow.” The war department’s bureau of insular affairs was organized by General Pershing and for a time he was its chief. During the Russc- Japanese war he acted as military attache at Tokio and was with Kuroki's | army in Manchuria. From 1906 to 1913 he was in the Philippines again. part of the time as governor of Moro province. Then he became com- mander of the Eighth brigade, with headquarters at San Francisco and | served in that capacity until the Mexican developments last year. At the death of Major General Funston, commander of the Souther: department, Pershing was named his successor, headquarters at Sa Antonio, Texas. | BRYAN A PUZZLE TO JAPANESE | (East and West News) Several Japanese editors admit an inability to reconcile the lates conduct of William J. Bryan with his earlier peace policies. In this re spect they do not differ from most Americans. The Japan Chroniclc learns with undisguised surprise that the former secretary of state hac ‘“revoked” his previous peace doctrines and has offered his services tc the President in any military capacity for which he is thought fit. Thc Chronicle cites the fact that two months previously Mr. Bryan, in “Ar i address to the American People,” quoted with warm approval by the Ger- man newspapers, ‘“was making statements which, if sincere, render him utterly unfit to serve his country in the present crisis. He charged thc Entente Allies and the Central Powers, equally, with resorting to actr contrary to international laws, as heretofore interpreted. He made nc | distinction between the ruthless occupation of Belgium, the sinking o: passenger ships without warning, the torpedoing of hospital ships, anc : all other crimes perpetrated by Germany, and the opening of Americar mails by England—an act contrary to international law in Mr. Bryan’: | opinion. He was violently opposed to the United States entering the wa: ! on either side. Later he has protested against sending troops ‘to marel | under the banner of a European monarch.” He is now throwing hi | \ | principles to the wind.” ' President McKinley appointed William J. Bryan a colonel of Nebrask volunteers in the Spanish-American war. Now President Wilson refusc: ' to allow Theodore Roosevelt to lead a division to France. But Wilson is. not a McKinley. | If Roosevelt is to go, for heaven's sake let him go. But if he is nct . to go let’s shut up about him and get down to business. | Our perfectly good American hog is up in arms. He resents beinz mentioned in the same class with food speculators. Strikes in war time are commendable—provided you strike the enemy. ] Soon, we fear, it will take a dollar to buy a penny. { } g To@__nrrow Might ¥Be Too Late!
