President Roosevelt for many yeare had taken a personal interest tn Per- shing. He had noted many instances ot the sterling worth of the man. The American Army in those days was notably slow in the matter of promotion. Each advancement, ac- cording to custom, was made tn the order of seniority, Capt, Pershing stood well up in the Nst of Captains, but in the ordinary course of events several years would probably elapse before his promotion to bigher rank. President Roosevelt was not eu- thorized to make promotions except by the regular method, He was au- thorized, however, to make appoint- ments, even from civil life, to two ranks—-that of Second Lieutenant and that of Brigadier General. That the Nation might have the unusual quall- fications that Pershing possessed, the President, in a way that was cus- tomary with him, shocked the coun- try and many hide-bound officers of the army, by sending to on Gept. 15, 1906, the nomination of Capt.
