We again attempted soldier-like attitddes as we held our breath to reduce our untrained middles and properly throw out our chests. Across the campus came a most commanding figure dressed In full West Point regalia. He was tall and graceful, and as he marched toward us he gave the impression of having the muscles of a panther. He was a wonderful combination of authority, force and grace. This was John J. Pershing as I first saw him on the campus of the University of Ne braska, when he outlined briefly but understandably the requirements and rules of the Nebraska cadets. "For three years thereafter 1 was more or less closely associated with Pershing and three days during each school week of the years I endeav ored to win his commendatlop in my desire to be a real soldier. Pershing taught us to obey orders, to respect our superiors, and taught us at the same time to love him as our fight ers in France love him now. His orders were strict, his discipline un yielding, but no one ever felt that punishment or discipline was given for personal reasons, but because our commandant knew the rules of the game and he played the game ac -6 BELL-ANS Hot water' , 'CI w Sure Relief RELL-ANS INDIGESTION Mrs. Watson of Detroit Was Weak.

'•Necessarily he ontrred more or less Into the social and nthlotlo life of the school and I recall distinctly one occasion when ho was Invited to attend a. boxing exhibition given by the membors of the class, who had received a long course of instructions. The class had developed Cadet Pol lard to the point where he seemed a full-made pugilist, and on this oc casion wo Invited Pershing to enter the ring against ur champion. Within a few seconds after the bout began we revamped our Ideas of Pollard and decided that he was a "tumblo bug" rather than a pugu 11st, for he seemed Incompetent to maintain his equilibrium or to reach his opponent, and ua a result he gave up his pugilistic dreams and is to-dny a resepctable electrical en gineer. ! "Our discipline was always of the West Point type, but. If possible, more rigid on the occasion of dress parade, and I recall standing In l|ne of Company D one afternoon In the fall of the year when tho wenthor was too cold for the files out of doors, but when tho few remulnlng flies In the armory seemed unusu ally hungry. With our dark blue uniforms, our white gloves wore in 3trict contrast, and this probably ac counted for my having been detocted In the effort to dislodge a fly which was boring Into the corner of my eye, and as punishment for my ef fort, I received three demerit marks, thereby disqualifying mo for ap pointment as a noncommissioned of ficer. No Timo to Lauffh "Upon one occasion we were given quick time back and forth across the parade ground, when one farmer boy's feet became entangled while at the head of a column and he fell down and as a result a number of those following him fell also. Each cadet who laughed or broke the cadence was reported and his stand ing reduced. "The opportunity was given me to meet Pershing after his return from the Philippines and my knowledge of him was more or less intimate and I fully agree with the allied commanders In saying that Pershing was marked of the gods for big I things and think it is fitting that j the cause of humanity and that the I cause of the United States should I be championed by one who Is so able | ind who possesses so many human virtues."

GUARD TREATED WELL IN FRANCE Lieutenant Thomas Tells of Work Before Enter ing Battle Charles W, Thomas, first lieuten ant, Company I, One Hundred and Twelfth Infantry, American E. F. has written an Interesting letter, dated Juno 20, to former fellow em ployes of the Telegraph, recounting his experiences In France. He was for a number of years connected with the Harrlsburg Telegraph and since his departure, the employes who have kept In touch with all the Telegraph men who have gone to war and supplied them with many comforts, have remembered htm and kopt track of his move ments. The letter follows: "We have been doing some mov ing since the last time T wrote and we are now In a much finer part of France. Large, rich farms are nil about here. The farm we are at. has sixteen large ojten and nbout twpnty horses. The crops are fine and they raise everything apparently that we do and then some. There are a num ber of German prisoners here and we have a couple men who can speak to them. Some think that Germany will yet win and others that they will not. "X have had strawberries and cherries several times and have some ordered for supper to-day. We pay about twenty-five cenis a quart, for them (one franc, fifty centimes). They don't sell theni by the quart, but by weight—grammes. We have difficulty in getting some things, not so much because they don't have It n 1 ? that we don't know how to ask for it. "Airplanes are very common and I expect to get a ride In one to morrow. "You can say to the doubting ones that the funds collected for tobacco and are being used for that purpose. Last evening we distributed Lucky Strike cigarets. Bull Durham find Tuxedo. Each man got at least three, one of each kind. Of course some traded one kind for another, but all were well supplied for a v eek. Each box contained the name of the newspaper on it. "Occasionally I get a paper here. It is the Paris eoition of the Chi cago Tribune, and it has the baseball standing in It. It Is only two pages, but has the up-to-date news of in terest to soldiers. "Of course I have not seen any fighting vet, but know what the guns sound like, as we are close enough to hear them plainly. Have also seen a number of their airplanes. "During our travels T have been quartered in all kinds of houses. The place I was at before coming here the captain and I were billeted in a very large chateau that was simply fine. We were sorry to leave it They say It had quite a history. We are now in another one not so large but very nice. We have a fine room and an excellent bed for each. The beds are peculiar In that there is usually about three mattresses on them and the top one about the height of your breast. If # you want to get in you need either a ladder or a running jump. After you are in they are fine and soft, and about the. only kick you have coming is that morh ing comes too soon. "The inhabitants are very courte ous and friendly and are sure that it will not be long before the Ger mans are licked. They say the Unit ed States will turn the trick. 1 "Things are a little higher here L than at home. I paid three francs yesterday for a dozen of eggs, but that was very cheap. They usually I cost four or four and a half. A franc is about nineteen cents in our money. Milk when you can get it i is usually ten centimes or a little over four cents an army tin cup. Canned milk that sells at home for ten or i twelve cents cost two-and-a-half or three frances, usually about fifty cents a can, though at times you can get it cheaper. Butter varies from three to five francs a pound.

HAMUSBURG TELEGRAFBC AINEY RUI.ES IN FULL CREW CASE Decides That Mahanoy Plane Movement' Is Not a Train Movement Within Law The Pennsylvania railroad Is de clared to have operated a freight train over Its Sewickley and Boyer Run branches In violation of the "full crew law," according to a de cision handed down to-day by Chair man W. D. B. Ainey. of the Public Service Commission, in the complaint of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and George B. Rowand against the company, one of the sec ond series brought by tho railroad men's organization. It is found by the chairman that it run a train of less than thirty cars with a crew smaller than re quired by law and he adds, "No ad ministrative discretion is lodged with this commission in enforcing the j full crew law. Under the evidenci j presented, we find and determine i that on Soptember 20, 1917, the respondent operated a freight train over its road in vlolaUon of the law. In discussing the case the chairman says "Splitting up a train and crew in the manner evidenced In this case, separately operating the parts over the road under the conditions as disclosed, where neither air, hand or oral signals were available to the conductor who accompanied one part or observable by the members of the crew who accompanied the other part, introduces the very ele ment of danger which the Legislature foresaw and attempted to provide against by requiring train crews to consist of certain number and class of employes. To separate a train crew as in the Instant case destroys the co-operative support and inter dependent vigilance which lead to safety of operation. If it can be lawfully permitted here, why may not the separate sections of passen ger trains be similarly manned with one conductor tn charge of both and each accompanied by a partial crew. It is impossible to escape the con clusion that the movement was a road haul and that it was not a switching movement within the con templation of the law. The commission in another de cision by Chairman Ainey dismisses the complaints of the same parties against the Philadelphia and Read ing, which alleged that a movement on Mahanoy Plane was in violation of the law. The chairman says "Under all the evidence we are of the opinion that these were yard movements and not made as road hauls * * * So far as the factor of safety is concerned there is little | ground for distinction between yard | operaUons, such as are now under {consideration, and trains engaged in ! making road hauls. The Legislature, j however, has established a standard ' which has received court and com j mission consideration." General Who May Lead U. S.
