In every way tney nave testihed to their appre , ciation of hit services in France and "vlsewhere. .He has' spoken fre quently and always in the right (train.v He has been particularly ' pointed and happy in his references to the country and its future. "While the distinguished traveler Mias not; we may all be sure, had anything else in mind but his of ficial duties, it will not be over Jooked by the politicians that in this wty he has been making a great many acquaintances under circum stances highly fayoraH to him. A man who has served on a commit tee of reception, or one who has . . , - . . , i , . , . , simpiy auenaea a large meeting ana gotten no nearer to tne guest of the occasion than a seat in the body of .the hall, is mot likely to forget his pleasant experience. He will re .member that vividly, and should he " attend, either .as delegate or sight seer, the Chicago convention in june, and hear the general's praises mounded there in connection with, the presidential nomination, he is likely to become something of a I'ershingite. , .v "Consider Mr! Bryan's case. .For months, before the 3emocratic na tional convention iu 1896, the orator f the Platte had been on speaking tours covering many states. He was yMng, ardent, attractive and elov quent. Te had a way wijli him which' .captured crowds, and crowds had gathered to hear him. He had made a great mar.y acquaintances and. later some of them attended the national convention as delegates and others as spectators. So. that when Mr. Bryan took the platform at the convention and thrilled that body with the speech that brought him , international fame, he was address ing, many men whom he had already favorably impressed at their homes. And his triumph was the easier and completer because of that fact. He had brought no boom with him, butj wnen me lime came ne nceaca no boom. "As yet, the Pershing boom is of very modest proportions. There are half a dozen other booms"that out class it for size and resonance. But he general's friends are not idle. They keep a sharp eye on develop ments, ind whenever occasion of fers, or they can provide , an oc casion, they call attention to his qualities and express ., the opinion that he would make an excellent president of the United States. "All this time General Pershing is making friends for himself, not for political purposes, butvina way that may bring them to his side as supporters in the eventof a situa tion at Chicago deadlocking the convention and making it i.ecessary to travel outside the circle of th leadinor boomfers for the risrht man." , ' .

Spitz Dog'Stands Guard Over Body of Dead Comrade A strange case of devotion of one dog for another has aroused the In terest 'of 'residents on Thirtieth street, -between Curtis and Redick avenues, during the. last three days. A spitz dog has been holding a V vigil over the dead btdy of its for mer canine friend, a whit? mongrel. The faithfulness of the spitz has been almost uncanny, according, to observers, Tuesday night the little watcher rested in a vacant'' space across the sidewalk, watching the body through the night. , Yesterday neighbors placed a pan of water and food fo rthe canine THUMOAY. 1920. mourner. Another dog happened along and quickly retreated when the spitz threatened attack. A. E.
