Black Jack' Ends a Great Military Career Tonight
Says Vet
Pershing's Retirement Wil
'Leave a Big Hole' in
the War Office.
State Vet.
Washington, Sept. 13—Gen. John J. Pershing locks up his desk in the War Department tonight, after the Defense test returns are in, and officially ends the greatest career in military history for several generations.
"It'll leave a mighty big hole around here when he goes," said the old non-com at the War Department
In his early days as military instructor at the University of Nebraska, again in the Cuban campaign, in the Philippines, in France, even in the post-war period—always he has stood out as a leader.
Pershing is giving up a good job when he retires this month as General of the Armies of the United States, and his check is to come in just the same.
For the majority of folks, Pershing's monthly pay check, which he sends to his quarters and $1,500 for heat and lunch.
Usually army officers are retired on two-thirds pay but "Black Jack" will keep on drawing the full $13,500 his compensation have been fixed by special Act of Congress. His allowances, however, will ston.
Pershing's pay is three times what George Washington received, almost twice the compensation of Gen. Grant, and much more than Sherman and Sheridan drew. Those four, with Pershing, are the only full generals who were given rank and file who were temporarily given the rank during the World War.
As Lioutenant-General, Gear is
Washington received $250 a month
plus $50 for horse feed and $40 for
nursery bringing up the monthly to
$140.
Unless Congress revives it, *Pershing's* grade will cease with his highness in 1917, but he would have equal rank with European commanders in the World War. He was the first to hold the full rank of general since Sherri Duckworth.
Washington refused to accept the $5,000 monthly salary voted for him by the Continental Congress in 1775 while serving as a full general.

Lowering Skies, Roaring Guns. Whining Shells,Groaning Men Marked the Berth of St.Mihiel
Rain! Rain! Patters against the window glass as we sit at the desk. Memories. Memories of Lorraine. One wilt suggested that it should be "More rain," Fog sending across the sky, and bringing back the spell of the salient after many years, as we write.
Not Mount Oread in September of 1924 but Mount See in September of '18. The night of September 11, black rain coming down in torrents. No sound but the fall of the rain, the crunch of feet on grenbled roads, the low rumble of tanks, ocasins, limbs, and hats. The rain is given in low level, curses as some one stumbles in the shell holes filled with water.
Not this on one road but on any road going to the salient or St. Miel, which stretched from the city

Labor Dislikes Knickers
MacDonald's Followers Protest Against "Foolishness"
London - Emily McCormack resolutions, protecting against MacDonald's adoption of "that foolish court dress," "that ostentatious display," that concession to "the manners and customs of the old order" occupy a prominent place in the agenda of the British Labor party's annual meeting. These eight resolutions protecting against the silk knee-breches and the premise's ornamental sword are symptomatic of the revolt in the British Labor party against the concessions which the Labor government has made in various directions. The congressives have put down resolutions demanding that the Labor ministers and M. P. submit completely to the control of the Labor party, reporting to the party executive from time to time and taking instructions. These resolutions take the conclusion that the prime minister has made to the other two parties.
Another significant resolution would check the growing power of the "intelligence" and the "ex-cellular" in the Labor party by providing it with the necessary power that the party executive shall be trade union members "actually working at their trades". Still another resolution forbids the adoption of any member who has not been a member of the party for at least three years.

Army Generals Test Speed of America's Citizen Volunteers
Special Day Is Experiment o Mobilization and Tribute to Pershing
Washington, Sept. 12. "The union today was testing the speed by which its man power can be assembled for war." In every city and hamlet throughout the land citizens were re-ready to a practice call for volunteer teams.
Behind closed doors at the war department army generals were feeling the military pulse of the country. Defense day, for which the army has been planning for months, both as a definite test of mobilization and as a tribute to its retiring General, Perelbok, was on.
By tonight the war department expects to have a satisfactory answer to two questions:
Can the main power of the nation be mobilized fully and quickly under the machinery provided by the army since the world war?
Can a voluntary call produce the requisite number of soldiers for a first key?
The defense test is primarily an attack on the problem of personnel organization.
The immediate sequel of today's cost will be rewapping of the reserve army organization in the localities which are unable to recruit their units to full strength.

College Is Living Not Preparation Says Chancellor
Steering Toward a Definite Aim Was Emphasized in First Address by Lindley
"College is not preparation for life—it is living," said Cancellor E. L. Lindley in his address "The Character of Your Offensive" at the University of Kansas this morning in Robinson Gymnasium.
"It is living under the most favorable of conditions; it isn't the college that destroys your ideals; it is life. Because every college student accepts responsibilities at the hands of others, he has to accept these obligations; he is accepting advantages greater than any other generation has known."
Should Have Definite Aim Throughout his address Chancellor Lindley emphasized the necessity of an objective. "At the outset of this new year we should take stock of our aims—get an objective. We should fix an aim and then alter toward it, and on the way forward we must measure the act of self-measurement. Objective self-measurement should teach one not to mourn over his mistakes, but to climb up, to build piece by piece by piece in his mischief."
The Chancellor explained the significance and importance of choosing carefully the standards for self-measurement. The incurable idealism of American youth does not find complete satisfaction in college; a possitional reaction follows, but this is only temporary, and youth is headed right, he said. Thoughtful self-measurements are anything else, including the new environment and new spirit found at the University.
Religion is fundamental.
"Learn by experience; it is the university of hard knocks that is so effective. Religion represents the fundamental system of our organization. No man can enter into the great inheritance a college has for education." "The greatest foundation which supports the liner phases of our intellectual life. Do not neglect this great foundation on which all the rest find a base."
In closing the Chancellor extends words of welcome to the student body.
A vocal solo, Cadmans "The Moon Behind the Cottonwood," was given by Miss Minna Dora with Miss Mary May Ross as accompanist of Fine Arts. Bob Robert heeferbear, 12 the closing Roof Chalk.
