Ever since he came out of West
Point, in 1886, as senior cadet captain,
the highest honor thegy, Brigadier
General John J. Penhm has been
living and n,htlnc battles that fit hinx
Ku-emlncnt y to deal with Villa and
is foliowers, -
General Pershing was ten years in
the Southwest, fighting Geronimo and
his Apaches. He was in the Spnnluh‘
War with a negro regiment and WAS
called by his colonel the bravest and
coolest man under fire he had ever
seen, and he accomplished the ex
traordinary difficult task of subjuga‘-
ing the ‘orol in the Philippines.
It was for all of these things proba
bly, but chiefly for his work in the
Philippines, that President Roosevelt,
in September, 19086, promotedrt‘aptaln
Pershing to the rank of Brigadier-
General, jumping him <var the heads
of 862 other officers- -the racord jump
in thé history of the army,
In January, 191/, General Yershing
left the island of Mindanao and four
months later he jest San Frazasco for
the Mexican border in command of
the Bighth Brigade. On August 27 of
last year his wife, who was Frances
Warren, daughter »f United States
Senator Franels § “‘Warren, of Wyom
ing, and three of their little childron
were' burned to dsath in the fire at the
Presidio In San “rancisco.
His “irst Duty.
General Pers'ving's first duty after
being graduated from West Point,
where his rank as senior cadet cap
tain stamped him as the nearest of his
classmates to the ideal of a soldler,
Was to plunge into the campalgns thar
destroyed the power of Geronimo anl
‘opened the Southwest to a tardy civ
lzation.
He was assigned to the old Sixth
Cavalry, and in August of 1887,
}mcoly A year from school, he was
complimented by General Miles for
“marching his troop, with pack train,
over rough country, 140 miles in 46
hours, bringing in every animal and
man in good condition.”
In 1889 Lieutenant Pershing rescucd
A party of horse thieves and cowbovs
who were besieged by hostlle Zunis

was “highly recommended for discrs
tion™ by General Carr. There were
other recommendations which he won
during the ten years of service in the
Depariment of Arizona during the
desperate clashes there,

Point as tactical ‘officer, but In 1885,
At his own request, he rejoined His

problems as the head of the division
of customs and insular affairs,
It was in September, 1899, that he
was. assigned to duty in the Philip
pines, again at his own request, and
he became adjutant general,” execa
tive officer, of the Department of Min
danao and .{olo. There he studied the
“Moro problem,” and In June, 1901, he
was sent out single-handed to cope
with the old problem which Spain hal
shirked and which revolved about
Lake Lanao in the island of Min
danao, where a horde of murderous
farmers, Mohammedans, were en
gaged in the work of killing infidels,
These natiyes, commanded by thelr
dattos, or war lords, who in turn were
led by their sultans, increased tha
number of raids on coast towns when
the American soldiers arrived, and
their first check was received in the
fight at Bayan, a brilliant, tactical
victory for Pershing.
Razed Moro Fort.
When the Sultan of Bacolod wonld
not be concillated, Pershing, in com
mand of a battalion of infantry, a.
squadron of cavalry and a section of
guns, warned him that Bacolod would
be destroyed. In two davs the fort n
which the Sultan dreamed of perpet
ual security was only a memory, and
Pershing’s men had received on their
bayonets the charge of a hundred
maddened Malays. The casualty lizt‘
for the United States soldiers 'consist
ed of two slightly wounded men.
Then other strongholds of the Mo
ros were demollshed, one after anoth
er, until 40 forts were destroyed and
the island of Mindanao was rlaced
under subjection. while only two
Americans were killed,
Pershing became the Military flnv.‘
ernor of the island; he bhecame the
friend of the subjugated natives, was
elected a datto hv them and sat aa
Judee over thelr dlsputes.
In 1902 he was relieved of the com
mand of the Lanao expedition hecanse
of lliness. Later he led commands

‘New Mexico Senator Declares
~ Mexicans Are All Alike and
Must Be Put Down.
: Bg ALBERT F. FALL,
United tates Senator From New
Mexico.
WASHINGTON, March 14.—A1l
Mexicans are Mexicans—whether
at the moment followers of Car
ranza, Villa, Zapata, Obregon,
Cabrera, Herrara, or any one of
the dozen other so-called leaders.
They look alike, they think alike,
they aot alike,
If, as seems probable, the Car
ranzista forces are inable to pre
vent resistance being offered to
the United States troops seeking
Villa and his band, it behooves
the United States Government to
take into consideration the fact
that their announeed ‘“‘punitive
expedition” will presently develop
into nothing less than war with
Mexico,
To wage war successfully in a
country like Mexico, the elemen
tal necessity is a great superiori
ty of numbers at the outset. To
understand the reason it is nec
essary to understand Mexico,
The aveérage Mexican, this mo
ment, is firmly convinced that
conquest of the United States by
Mexico is well within the bounds
of possibilities, He believes that
Mexican forces are at this mo
ment in possession of a broad
strip of territory extending from
eastern Texas to Southern Cali
fornia. He thinks we, as a nation,
are lacking in all the qualities
that go to make men; that we are
cowards at heart and unable to
defend ourselves against their
might,
One Defeat Fatal,
We can clinch this opinion by
our actions, ilf we send into Mex
ico anything less than a prepon
derantly superior force of ade
quately equipped soldiers. Let
the Mexicans score one victory,
however relatively unimportant,
and our task will be made insu
perably greater than if from the
beginning we show the Mexicans
that we are unbeatable.
The resolution I introduced in
the Senate on the day of the at
tack on Columbus would permit
this Government to take the nec
essary steps to. make its action
in Mexico short and successful,
with a minimum sacrifice of men
and money.
It calls for 500,000 volunteers.
The number is not extravagant.
To accomplish what it will be nec
essary to accomplish before order
is re-established in Mexico, an
army of less size invites unneces
sary losses. |
The reason so large a force is
necessary is primarily because of
the size and nature of the coun
try. The restoring of order in
Mexico is a task that means first
of all a squelching pf every one of
the scores of bandits and their |
gangs, The one way to accom
plish this end is to seize every |
line of communication in Mexico.
Serious Difficulties Ahead.
If the Government, however,
persists in adhering to its pres
ent policy of sending a very much
smaller detachment of troops
into Chihuahua, with the avowed
purpose of catching Villa and his
band, it will quickly encounter
serious difficulties.
In the first place, how is a mil
itary commander to know the dif
ference hetween Carranzistas and
Villistas?
They look alike, they are equal-
Iy ragged, equally treacherous,
Is a regiment to march blindly
into an ambuscade because as
surances | have been given that
the artilléery and machine guns
commanding it are manned by
Carranzistas?
' With such a force we should
not ¢nlv accomplish our purpose
in the least possible time, but we
should solve that even greater
problem, preparedness.
At one expense, and under the
most favorable conditions, we
should have at the end of a very
short time an army of 500,000
trained veterans, to act for years
to come as a highly efficient re
serve in the event of war with a
first-class power.
If we go Into Mexico with In
sufficient forces, a good many
brave men are going to get badly
hurt.
These are the facts of the case,
They are the results of more than
30 yvears' study of Mex!ico and the
Mexican people. It rests with
the future to prove their correct
ness.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
- -
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your halr in
good condition, be careful what yoa
wash it with,
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
s very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
trely greaseless), s much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampoolng, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub It in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can '“d mumm coeo.l .nut oil

Army Men Look for Uprising at

Continued From Page 1.
the Government are conducting a gen
eral investigation in the United States
of the activities of certain Mexican
sympathizers who in the past have
furnished Villa with cash and muni
tions, These men, it is understood,
have favored action by Villa that
would force general intervention by
the United States. At the White
House and the State Department it
was stated to-day that the efforts to
make trouble between General Car
ranza and the Administration have
been traced directly to this group.
It was expected that this matter
would be considered at to-day’s Cabi
net meeting and the question of ‘how
action would be taken against the
leaders in the movement discussed.
The President is said already to have
asked the Attorney General whether it
would not be possible to indict those
respongible for this movement.
One of the questions seriously con
fronting the Administration to-day
was the matter of raising funds for
the punitive expedition. Not only wiil
much ecash be required for troop
movements, but, as a precautionary
measure, the Quartermaster’'s Depart
ment must arrange to hold rolling
stock in readiness for the transpor
tation of the national guardsmen to
the border, should that be necessary.
Already motor trains are being con
tracted for for immediate delivery and
officlals are seeking additional aero
planes for purchase.
Bigger Army Foreseen.
It is also expected even if the
Pershing expedition should accom
pligh its object within a brief period,
the effect of the present agitation will
be felt in Congress. No matter what
action i{s taken on the general pre
paredness program, officials felt con
fident to-day that authority at least
to double the strength of the regular
army will be granted very soon.
At the State Department it was ex
pected that the telegram of Secretary
Lansing and a copy press announce
ment made on behalf of the President
would be delivered to General Car
ranza to-day. The message was sent
forward yesterday with Instructions
to expedite it and a note to Consul
Silliman to sea that it was placed in
the hands of the “First Chief" forth
