Berry: "It will be strictly non-political; it will not attempt to exploit any theme or theory on partisan lines; it will religiously refrain from 'underwriting' the am­ bitions or activities of any individual, public or private; it will be severely inde­ pendent, making its appeal to the interests of the readers rather than to the vanity of those in charge; it will encourage that training which no successful business man can ignore if he desires his employees to be better disciplined and trained to give 100 per cent. of duty to all work entrusted to them—it will be a. vehicle for the propagation of one policy and only one: Better Guardsmanship and Better Citizenship!"

Pershing, Com­ mander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, and, by special act of Congress, the General of the Armies of the United States, having arrived at the retirement age of 64, will cease to be an active officer of the new army to which he has devoted all his energies since its reor­ ganization following the World War. One of the metropolitan newspapers, in commenting recently on General Pershing's retirement, advanced the question as to what would he his monument, It said: " 'His place in history as leader of the American army in France,' is the usual reply. " 'The Organized Reserves of the United States and the new army,' say his asso­ ciates in the War Department. "One of General Pershing's friends, a man who served with him in France, re­ ­arked the other day that, secure as Per­ shing is in history as one of the great allied chieftains, the outstanding achieve­ ment of his career is his work in building up, in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles, the present military organization of the United States, with the regular serv­ ice, the National Guard and the Organized General John J.
