Future Status
Of Pershing is
Fixed by Harding
Secretary Weeks and Presi
dent Keep Discussion Secret
Continuation as Gen
eral Expected.
(bUnco Tnbunf -Onili Bre I.rrd W xtr.
Washington, April 11. General
Pershing's future status has been de
cided upon by President Harding
and Secretary of War Weeks, but
their decision is still a secret. '
- Secretary Weeks said today that
announcement probably would be
made within a few days.
Reports are current in military
quarters, however, that General Per
shing's new post will be one com
mensurate with his rank as the only
general of the United States army
and that he will serve as in su
preme command of the army of
peace, just as he served as the su
preme commander of the army in
the field during the war.
The general of the army has no
defined duties in times of peace. It
is understood, therefore, that the
president and secretary of war have
determined to ask congress for leg
islation defining duties for a general
of the army in times of peace. Such
duties would make the general of
the army in supreme command, but
they would not disturb the present
organization which calls for a chief
of staff. The chief of staff, who
would continue to function as he
now does, would, under the proposed
plan, serve under the general of the
army and General Pershing would,
thcrctorc. be continued in his high
post of supremacy as the highest
ranking officer of the American mil
itary forces.
If this plan is carried out. it is
predicted by some of General Per
shing's intimate associates, that the
chief of staff . of the army to be
named bv the Drcsident and secretary
j of war would be Maj. Gen. James G.
Harboard, who was general 1 cr
shing's chief of staff in Prance.

"Let's Eat at Brandeis"
It Getting to Be
A Popular Slogan
with shoppers as veil aa with business men and women. The
reason? There are quite a number of them. They begin with
salads, with the most appetizing dressings to be found In the
city; and they continue to soups, rich and nourishing; entrees
and roasts of savory fla-vor, luscious desserts and that fine, strong,
cfear coffee with pure, rich cream. Add to that the pleasure of
eating in '
Clean, Bright and Sanitary Surroundings
and you have the real meaning of the slogan: "Let s eat at
Brandeis."
