LEGION AWAITS PERSHING: BOOK Comdr. 0’Neil Says Memoirs Will-Be'Great Contribu- tion to History. Bpecial Dispatch to The Ster. TOPEKA, Kans, January 6 (N.A. N.A.) —"Every member of the American Legion,” said Ralph T. O'Neil, national commander of the American Legion, “is anxiously awaiting the beginning of Gen. Pershing’s memoirs on January 12. (The Pershing book will appear in The Star in daily installments, commencing next Monday.) “These men, who served under the - general in France, know only half the' story of the American participation in the World War. Gen. Pershing can give them. better than any man living, the half they never saw. “The Ltg‘lonnures continued Ccmdr O'Nell, “know about the mud and grime, the shells and the fighting, but only the general and his staff know of the why and wherefore of every move, the trials, the vicissitudes and the anx- fety of those who were responsible for the moves. Contribution to Histery. “Gen. Pershing’s memoirs will be a great contribution to the history of the war. Few Americans appreciate the problems and difficulties Gen. Pershing encountered when he was placed in command of the American Expedition- ary Forces in France. “In my opinion, he will live through history as a great executive and mili- tary leader. He certainly can more ac- curately record the part played by the Taited States in bringing the World ‘War to a successful canclusion than any other living American.” Comdr. O'Neil has talked with Gen. ‘Pershing several times about details of the book, and particularly that part which refers to the work of the 5th Division. Gen. Pershing reviewed the bth several times during the war, and | street. 1t was one of those reviews which gave Comdr. O'Neil a great thrill. ‘The outfit had just come out of the Argonne for a rest. “We were dirty,” said O'Neil. “There wasn't a whole uniform in the outfit. Honest, we were the worst-looking lot of soldiers you ever saw. “Fine Lot of Soldiers.” “Gen. Pershing came along and looked us over what we thought was quite critically. When he got to the end of the line he took another look at the outfit. *‘What a fine lot of soldiers and offi- he said as he turned to other “We nearly fainted.” Comdr.

He saw much service overnn and was cited for unusual braves The citation, which O'Nell keeps hlddtn from curious eyes, reads: “The night of November 9, 1918, while the 11th Infantry was ad from its position between Brandeville and Murvaux toward Remoiville and Louppy, by tireless efforts and utter d.kng-rd for machine gun and shell fire, he obtained and carried lm telephone wire which was necessary to Sicen.the 110 Tfantsy B, C. and 1006 ween the lantry P.

TELLS CITIZENS NEED FOR GREATER CHEST W. K. Cooper Cites Reasons at Meeting of Dupont Circle Association. An address by William Knowles Cooper of the Community Chest featured the meeting of the Dupont Circle Citizens' Association yesterday at the Mayflower Hotel. Mr. Cooper expressed his belief that “hard times” would be felt mostly in January, February and March. There- fore, he told the association, it will be necessary for the Communlty Chest to raise larger funds. It is the desire of | the Community Chest to bring the people into closer relations with the ork which they are doing, he ex- plained, and this year it is expected that the majority of contributions will not be given in largs sums, but more from the moderately wealthy people. Recent actions of the District Com- missioners to have Congress pass a law to have control under regulations established by them to limit and control all signs displayed to the public in the District of Columbia was unanimously indorsed by the association. The resolu- tion was introduced by Robert L. Long- New members accepted by the assoc! tion included Dr. George E. McLean Mrs. H. B. Mirick, Willlam McKee Dunn and William Pranklin Sands.
