LEO SOUKUP, Mgr.
The eyea of America are turned to
day upon Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing,
chosen by President Wilson to com
mand the first division of American
troops to he sent to France. In the
nation's capital old military men are
recalling his rapid promotion to his
present place as division commander.
University faculty members recall
General Pershing as a lieutenant sent
here by the war department to build
up the system of military training.
They saw in him, in his work as com
mandant of cadets, the same qualities
of a true leader of men which caused
President Roosevelt to pick him, when
only a captain of cavalry, for confir
mation as a brigadier general.
Easterners are hailing General Per
shing as the type of soldier known in
American history as the Indian fighter
the rugged, vigorous man of the
west.
There are many stories known to
Xebraskans concerning General Per
shing's service here. Before he cam a,
drill was in many respects of an ele
mentary nature, more of a mormality
than a system. General Pershing or
ganized the cadet companies and paved
the way for the introduction of the
cadet regiment. He injected into the
organization an enthusiasm which has
made service in the military depart
ment one of the most respected of
student activities. Students were not
slow in learning to admire this com
mandant, and showed their esteem in
many ways. The Pershing rifles named
in his honor, still remain as a tribute
to his leadership.
General Pershing's rise has been
swift since he was called back into
active service. As first lieutenant at
taohed to the Tenth cavalry, the crack
negro regiment, he earned the name
"Black Jack." which has stuck ever
t-ince. Following the Spanish-American
war. President McKinley gave
Captain Pershing a place as head of

the customs and insular in the war
department. Captain Pershing chaffed
under the monotony of routine work
and upon his request was sent back
to the Philippines where, after ac
quainting himself with the Philippino
problem, he took active command of
the expedition to subjugate the Moros,
a feat which he accomplished In his
characteristic, thorough and efficient
manner. He was made military gov
ernor of Mindanao and the Moros so
respected the executive ability of the
former Nebraska commandant that
they made Mm a datto, or ruler. It is
recorded that in his subjugation to this
fierce and bloodthirsty tribe only two
American lives were lost.
He was later recalled to America
for cavalry service in the south and
west. Whvn serving under Genercl
Funston, patrolling the border during
the unsettled times of the recent Mex
ican trouble, he was put in command
of the historic "flying column" sent
in pursuit of the bandit Villa. It was
while on this expedition that a Brit
ish attache after inspecting General
Pershing's command called it "the
finest body of soldiers of its size in
the world." Upon General Funston's
death last winter, General Pershing
succeeded to the sommand of the
southern division.
General Pershing is fifty three years
old. He was born in Laclede, Linn,
county. Mo., and was appointed to
West Point in 1SS2, four years later
he was graduated as senior cadet cap
tain, the highest honors which come
to any under-graduate of the military
academy.

THE languorous charm of the
Hawaiian native instruments so
moving in appeal, so observably
in vogue is strikingly characteristic
of the Ukulele. Its tone possesses that
curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic
charm of tonal quality which has
made these instruments so sensation
ally popular.
The Ukulele has a pleasing grace of
form. The finer models are made
of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood. It
is much in request today among the
smarter college and other musical
organizations.
It is easy to leim.
