Wives rich in their own right whose husbands fall within the prescribed age scale will have to give them up for the period of the war, This rule is not general, since some wealthy married men will be numbered among those who are of greater potential value to the N. tion in their usual vocations than they would be at the front.

Two Hard Fighting Men, Pershing and Doyen, Who Lead Troops for France General Commanding Won Fame in Indian Wars, in East and in Mexico, Typical American fighting men are Major General John T. Pershing, who will lead the first United States Army that goes to France, and Co: Charles A. Doyen, who wil be in command of the Marine contingent of Gen, Per- whing’s forces, Major Gen. Pershing is far from being an untried fighter, for he has won spurs in every war in which this country has been engaged since his graduation from West Point in 1886. Nor has he only wo. spurs— he has won appreciative subriquets from the men who fought with him —these know him as “Kitchener Pershing” or “Black Jack Pershing” —an intrepid cavairyman, a resource- | ful leader. Ger. Pershing won his greatest fame in Moro campaigns and with it won & promotion over 862 officers senior to him and the grade of Brig- adler Genera] in 1906, He is fifty-six years old and was born in Linn County, Mo, His first ‘service after leaving West Po.nt was as second Heutenant In the Sixth Cavalry with Gen. Miles in the Apache campaign in Arizona. In the early nineties he was in the war against the Sioux Indians and led his troopers in many hard fought engagements. It was as a major of volunteers that he was in the fighting at El Caney and San Juan in Cuba dring the Spanish War. He was a captain when he was sent to the Philippines in the war against Aguinaldo; it was as @ briga- ier general that ho left Mantia. His was the task of sub/vgating the savage Moros of Jolo. This province was intensely hostile and Pershing waa oriered to ‘clean it up.” ‘The last acct of the “clean up” was the campaign of Bud Dajo, the crater of an extince volcano wherein 600 Moros, everyone a Mohammedan fanatic, had entrenched themselves. The place was besieged so success- fully by Pershing’s men that every one of the Moros ¥ put to death, either In the crater or in an attempt to escape from it | ‘The latest service of Gen, Pershing was his leadership of the American advance into hostile Mexico. He was @ brigndicr general then, He came from Mexico a major general. It was while he was at the border that his wife and three of his four children were burned to death in their home in San Francisco. Col, Charies Augustus Doyen of tho Marine Corps has been in the corps since 1883 and js a graduate of the Naval Academy, He was in command of the Marine Barracks at Washing- ton since January, 1915, He was born in New Hampshire, Sept. 3, 1859. In 1909 he was in command of the Marine Barracks at the Naval Academy and was one of the witnesses duriag the Investigation following the death of Lieut. J. N. Sutton jr., who was shot @t Annapolis and was held to be a suicide. Col. Doyen has seen fighting ser- yice at the head of landing parties of marines in the West Indies. He was in command of the marines abroad the Hancock stationed in D | minican waters in 1914. He was al tn action in the Philippines and ha had experience tn ling large bod- jes of men on the Pacific Coast, BILL 10 FIX WAGES AND WORK HOURS GOES 10 CONGRESS Administration Measure Vests This Power in a Commis- sion of Nine.

Many of them have been at the task for more than a year, and are pretty nearly fit to take to the air in thelr own machines and give a good at- count of themselves, They will have to pass a hard examination before they can get thelr commissions.
