Edgar J. Pershing One In Crowd to
Pay Honor to Relative
Edgar J. Pershing, cousin of Gen
ernl Pershing, who has an office in the
Land Title Building, does not believe
that he uhould share any honors of the

"Of course," he said, "I nm proud
to be related to such a man, but I see
no reason why my name should cuter
into the news about America's great
hero."
Mr. Pershing was just one of the
crowd to pay tribute to the general.
HE'S 59 TOMORROW
And a Year Ago Today He Started
Flr6t Great Drive
General John Joseph Pershing just
misses a birthday in Philadelphia.
He is fifty-nine years old tomorrow.
He came into tho world in Linn
county, Mo., September 13, 1SG0.
And he's had so many Friday the
thirteenths he can afford to laugh at
them.
One year ago today, just on the cc
of his fifty-eighth birthday, he launched
the first all-Amerlcan drive on the Ger
man lines, and drove tho Germnns out
of St. Mlhlcl in twenty-seven hours.
Roosevelt Gave Pershing Boost
A record wns made In army promo
tions when Pershing wns ndvnnced to
the rank of brigadier genernl in 1000 by
President lloosevelt. Pershing was then
a captain nnd he jumped over the heads
of S02 officers. President Roosevelt is

in the Philippines.
