Pershing Will Retire ” Automatically on Sept. 13 National Woman’s Party Still Talking About Presidential Campaign and Without Party Candidate BY HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. 13—Gen eral John Pershing, who will quit the United States army next month, rounded out his military record late last week by taking a whirl at being secretary of war. Secretary Weeks had left Wash ington for his mountain-top farm in New Hampshire. Assistant Secretary Dwight F. Davis ‘ had also beat it out of town just in ad vance of an invading hot spell. Whereupon the. whole responsi bility for Uncle Sam’s armed forces devolved upon the chief of staff, who is Pershing. He at once be came acting secretary, and in that capacity "held the fort’’ during the absence of his civilian superiors. On Sept. 13, Pershing’s 64th birthday anniversary, the "Gen eral of the American Armies” will be retired automatically to the re tired list and his active army ser vice will end. Following a visit to his sister and his son at the old home in Lincoln, Neb., after retirement, Pershing will pitch again into the work of shaping up his long-awaited his tory and memoirs of the World War. ♦ ♦ ♦ Had Frank Lowden not refused the Republican nomination for vice president, Clem Shaver, Democratic national chairman in charge of the Davis-Bryan campaign, would have had the chance of his life to “get even.” Not that Clem has anything per sonal against Lowden. He hasn’t. But he has an awful grouch against Pullman cars. And as Lowden, through his wife, who was a daughter of George Pullman, inherited a large inter est in the sleeping-car business, he inherited also a considerable part of Shaver’s animosity. Shaver’s job of running a na tional campaign is complicated by the fact that he simply cannot sleep on trains. No matter how sleepy he may be, as soon as he is shut in behind the swaying green curtains of a Pullman boudoir he loses all ability to slumber. The best he ever gets out of it is a fitful night-marish doze, which * Ym’d like a cool /Qx-x and cheerful place? J \ He’s waiting at one \ J smiling. You’ll \ -iJft want a sparkling ice*cold glass?

De ’ As a result, Shaver will st ; ck rather close to Washington and national Democratic headquarter, ; during the campaign. Where i m . , personal messages won’t do, hen ■ send out a lieutenant. To such extent as he can, use a radio or airplane, in long-distance managing, he may utilize them But the fewer overnight trips via Pullman, the better Shaver will like it. By contrast, William Butler who tried to have Lowden picked as running mate for Coolidge and . who is running the Coolidge-Dawes bandwagon, dearly loves Pullman I travel. He jumps about the country with . the same gay abandon exhibited by Will Hays, the boy prodigy ! from Indiana, four years ago. Butler makes overnight jumps I* at least once or twice a week be | tween Chicago and New York | Washington and Chicago and Chi cago and Boston.
