PERSHING WILL
. VISIT HOME OF
LACLEDE, Mo., Sept. 17 (by Asso
ciated Press).—General Pershing is
coming back to his boyhood home
here.
He will return a full-fledged general,
the hero of America, but to the boy
hood companions with whom he stole
apples, and played at the old swim
min’ hole it will be the “Johnny”
Pershing who spent his early life
here before going away to West Point
to embark on a military career.
A cablegram received by Mayor
Edmund B. Allen promises a visit by
the general shortly after his arrival
in the United States.
Some time ago when Laclede
learned that General Pershing was re
turning from Europe the following
cablegram was dispatched to him by
Mayor Allen:
“Laclede, your old home, your boy
hood friends and Linn County are
calling you. When may we expect
you home?”
General Pershing cabled in reply:
“I have heard the call. Will be
there soon after my arrival in the
United States. Can’t give you defi
nite date now but will let you know
later.”
Laclede will pay tribute to General
Pershing on his arrival, not with the
pomp and ceremony that marked his
reception in European capitals, but
> with a “good old-fashioned Missouri
home-coming,” according to the com-;
mittee arranging for his reception.
Plans for the general’s entertain
ment include re-unions with old
schoolmates and chums, trips to the
old swimmin’ hole on Muddy creek
and to the old Pershing farm.
The home-coming will also mark a
re-union of the Pershing family, i
James Pershing of Chicago, the gen
eral's brother, and Miss May Pershing
and Mrs. Bessie Butler, of Lnicoln,
Neb., his two sisters will gather at
the former Pershing home during the
general’s stay.
The reception will not be without a
military side. Decorated heroes of
Missouri will form an honor guard.
Adjutant General H. C. Clark of Mis
souri will have charge of the military
reception.
Governor Frederick D. Gardner will
deliver an address at the celebration
and other state and national officials
have been invited to attend.
Among old acquaintances who will
greet General Pershing are “Aunt”
Susan Hewett, who made pies for him
when he romped barefooted around
the countryside and “Aunt” Louisa
Warren, who claims to have been
present when the future military
- leader was born in a railroad section
house several miles from here. Both
are negroes.
SWISS MINISTER TO BE
RELIEVED OF OFFICE
BERNE, Sept. 17 (by Associated
Press).—It is reported that Dr. Larry,
secretary of the political department
in Berne, will replace Dr. Sulzer, the
Swiss minister to Washington, who
wishes to be relieved from his duties.
NEW POSITION FOR MARSHAL
PARIS, Sept. 17 (by Associated
Press).—Marshal Foch, according to
Intransigeant, is to be appointed vice
president of the French war council
upon its establishment.

DRY AMERICA
WILL BE RIVAL
FOR BRITISH
*•
LONDON, Aug. 25 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Britons are
deeply interested in what is called
the “American prohibition experi
ment,”- and every published state
ment concerning the situation and the
attitude of the American public to
ward the new order is eagerly read.
The latest addition to such contri
butions is by the archdeacon of War
rington, Canon Howson, who has
just returned from New York, and
who unqualifiedly endorsed the law.
His impressions, concisely stated, are
as follows:
“Prohibition has come to stay in
the States. Those most opposed to
it accept the inevitable. Those who
have paved the way for it are facing
law enforcement. A very large ma
jority, to judge by hearsay and eye
sight, agree that it is the best thing
for America. The threats of ‘no beer
no work,' and ‘riot and revolution’ are
empty voporings, and the work of
the states and cities is going on un
impaired. Smuggling of liquor will
go on for a time, but by January the
government will have the situation
well in hand. Prosperity is the re
sult. Instead of saloons at the cor
ners of the streets, banks are appear
ing. Happiness in the home, hitherto
unknown, has appeared on every
hand, and children and young people
are having their opportunity.
i
“A dry America will be a terrific
rival to countries which are wet,”
says the archdeacon. “All business
men had better recognize this if they
have not already done so. Dryness
does not kill joy. I voyaged on a
dry ship and a wet one, and the ex
perience was illuminating. I have
realized the marvelous power of
whole-hearted enthusiastic organiza
tion as never before.
“America,” added the archdeacon,
“has no desire to thrust herself or
her views on Great Britain. She has
discovered a good thing She only
wants to tell the good news and if in
any way she can help progress she is
there to render that help.”

FATHER AND SON CAMP TRIP
A scoutmaster found that his posi
tion at tile head of a troop took a cer
tain amount of leadership away from
the father, and so when a scout sug
gested a father-and-son overnight hike
he put one across. He says:
“The troop left at noon. An auto
carried the fathers’ blankets and one
carried food supplies. Father and son
hiked side by side three miles to our
camp. The evening meal was prepared
by the scouts whose fathers could not
come. Fathers were not bothered by
details or required to take active part
in our program (except camp-fire), but
watched closely the scoutmaster’s deci
sions, how he handled the swimming
proposition, how cooking details
worked, how he kept the boys busy,
and each particularly his own son.
“Father and son slept side by side,
the son making the camp bed. This
guardianship by the father alone in
the woods by night was much bigger
than simply sending the boy to bed,
as at home.
“Every father took part around the
camp-fire, and how they did make their
sons’ eyes pop open with either stories
or experiences from their own lives.
We served a camp-fire lunch of grid
dle cakes and hot chocolate. There
was individual cooking in the morning,
the son cooking his father’s breakfast.
“As a result the fathers are planning
another get-together outing.”
