An incident that is typical of the man : General Pershing on the field, and at the front, asked one of his officers: - "How much time will it take you to get a certain number of machine guns in motor lorries to a certain place?" -y The officer's answer was: "I will tell you in half an hour." General Pershing instantly replied: "I can tejl you now, although it isn't my job, either. A half an hour is too long and you will be too late. You have got to have your business nt your finger tip's." The worjd vision that General Pershing had of his job was always in his eyes, as well as his heart. Those broad shoulders of his carried a business head, and, he was never off his job until it was finished. General Pershing is the typification of rthe American idea "to get things done." He was able to impart his spirit to the engineers of his staff, and. the French people said of him, "That General of yours does impossible things." It has been a wonderful thing for America to have its leadership personi- -fied in one man. General Pershing, who is stoo great to allow himself to take more than a share of the glory of the great 'American Army, which he led to victory. ' "Half an hour is too late.
