He questioned prisoners brought in by the doughboys at Cantigny and Chateau Thierry, and in the latter operation walked into the wheat flelds to the gun positions to personally commend their crews and to tell them how proud he was of them. Sevgeant Santini, who reveals these bithterto unpublished facts of the do- ings of General Pershing in France, s & Frenchman by birth and enlisted in the United States army as an auto- mobile chauffeur and engineer at Gov- ernor’s Island on April 23, 1917. His knowledge of the French language and bis abllity as a chauffeur led to his selection as the commander in chief’s personal chauffeur. Sergeant Santinl safled from the United States with General Pershing, he drove the gen- eral over forty thousand miles of French roads during the more than two years he was in France, and he returned home aboard the transport Leviathan with the commander in ments of the various units of the Fifst division, which was engaged in the operation. At about nine o'clock in the morning the doughboys began to come back with prisoners, several of whom were brought before and ques- tioned at length by General Pershin The general was very much plea? with the results obtained by the troope in this engagement, the sergeant siys, and showed bis appreclation by per- sonally commending and shaking hands with the doughboys as they drifted back in small groups from the front line. When the Germans crossed the Marne river for the second time Gen- eral Pershing was north of Chaumont, his general headquarters. Upon re- celving word of the crossing he leaped into his automobile, and Sergeant Santini was informed the general was “in a hurry,” but that he must take no chances. On the way down toward Paris the route took the general past where the second division had been in a rest camp. The division was about to move to a certain point on the line.

Shell Just Misses Car. Of the numerous narrow escapes General Pershing had in his time at the front the narrowest was, accord- ing to the best recollection of Sergeant Sentini, the day before the battle of Cantigny. The general was riding along a road toward the advanced headquarters, which at that particu- lar time was being heavily shelled by the Germans. Shrapnel shells were continually bursting directly over the automobile, steel fragments on several occasions landing on the roof of the machine. General Pershing and his aide-de- cauip, who were seated in the tonneau of the car, seemed to be little affected by the “strafing” they were under- going, and no matter how near the shells landed their conversation, which probably had to do with the major operation of the morrow, was not in- terrupted. “One shell—it was one of Jerry's forest where it was camouflaged by shrubbery. Every night the general made a visit to the advanced post commands, which were almost at the barbed wire entanglements, to see that his orders were being carried out. “The general never took any chances,” the sergeant sald, “he al- ways went up to the front to be sure things were done exactly as he Germans would start a long range bombardment or send over a flock of bombing airplanes. It did not seem to matter what hour of the night or day they reached the city the bombard- ment would begin directly after their arrival and invariably continue for hours, Sergeant Santini is not so sure that the Germans did not receive in- formation as to when the general was going to the city, although every effort was made to keep the movements of the commander in chief in the great- est secrecy. Sergeant Santini probably drove more historic personages in the time he was in France than any other chauffeur in the world can boast of to- day. He drove President and Mrs. Wil- son on several occasions, President Poincare, Premier Clemenceau, Gen- erals Foch, Haig, Petain and Bliss and King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium. King Albert awarded Ser- geant Santini the gold Medal of Merit of the first class. Fools Newspaper Men. On the two occasions that Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, visited the battle front in France he rode in General Pershing’s automobile. Ser- geant Santini tells of many amusing incidents and tricks General Pershing resorted to in an effort to evade news- paper men. One of these incidents oc- curred during Secretary Baker's first “HELP WANTED—MALE WANTED—Bell boy, at Markham hotel.
