Defends General Pershing To the Editor of Is Evening Public Ledger: Sir I am not able to so Into detail In re tard to the Doughboys' criticism and chars against General Pershing's military disci pline during the overseas service In the world war. but I have thought a great deal about the matter alnce I have had occasion at dlvora times to form an opinion alone with others in regard to the general and tho source from which numerous reports have come. I am an ex-U. S. soldier myself, and be lieve I was In the Philippine Islands about the time Fershlng was there. Anyway, I was In the Islands during the time of the Samar massacre, and It la well remembered now the great fuss that was kicked up over General Smith's actions and later his recall and court-martial. Of course, the two episodes affectlm these high-ranking officers of the American army were not very similar. To be brief, one was court-martialed, the other was pro moted. Neither of them woa at llbrt to act entirely Independent vt hla own desires and the wishes of hla troopers. In General Pershing's caae ho commanded a ast amount In fact, more of America's flBhtlnjr force awl the eplrlt that went with It than any other officer had, so long as I can remember While, In the meantime, he was sent to the old world with alrlct orders affecting himself nnd forces It la easy to recall how he reported when he got there, who he reported to, ete. He went there for a big purpose, execution; a soldier with soldiers to compare and bat tle with: soldiers of old with military train ing unaurpassed True, ho was not the all. n"- nis secretaries. lieutenants, subs.

Ho to make a long story short, I havo summed up matters as they actually ap peared to me, and concluded that as much iary training and service. I heard criticism of such men aa Oeneral Funston.
