GEN. PERSHING'S LIFE
PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Nothing About Hi* Chateau in France
to Mark it as Residence of Com- 1
mander-in-Chief.
Chaumont Haute, Marne, France. 1
-an. 8.?When he is here at General
Headquarters General Pershing leads i
a very busy but very simple life.
There is little ceremony or an osieu-fgi
tatious kind either at his chateau or
or around his offices. There is nothing
to distinguish his office rooms
l^^in "A" building of the headquarters
group from those of any other officer.
One orderly sits at his door,
there is no sentry and the visitor
walks unannounced into the adjourning
reception room to be received by
one of his staff.
General Pershing's trips to and
from his chateau in the country are
made in his motor car, distinguished
only by its red four starred insignia
on the windshield and where would
be the number plate, which slips un?*Viq
rmH thrniieh the
11UUCCU axv/ng vuv < - 0_
city. Ordinarily he is accompanied
only by his personal aide, his staff
following at a distance great enough
not to mark the big cars as one
squadron.
In fine weather he sometimes ,
iralked the two or three miles from
the outskirts of Chaumont to his ,
country home, and that, with quiet
horseback rides through the beautiful
country hereabouts, give him his
needed exercise.
Much of his time since last Spring
when the American forces began real
participation in strength in the fight-!
ing, has been spent at Advanced Ar-j
my Headquarters. These have been
-a ?n1?/ioC cnmptiniPS ?t a dis
ill VS1IUUO jJiatv-o, _
tance to entail long, hard automobile
rides from them to Chaumont when
circumstances demanded his presence
here. Often after a hard day at Ad-'
vanced Headquarters the General
has made the three or four hour'
drive late at night, only to depart!
early the next day His powerful!
closed car with double rear wheels:
usually travels at high speed and in I
its comfortable cushions he obtains'
the rest denied him in bed.
Life at General Pershing's chateau
is plain to the point of simplicity.
* Except for the beautiful old
castle and its picturesque setting in
the Valley of the Marne, it might be
the home life of any fairly well to do
American business man. Only uniforms
of his military household set
it apart. His personal staff lives with
him and his servants are negro soldiers
detailed. And they are good
cooks as his few guests can testify
placing on his table simple, well
cooked American dishes, usually
three or at most four courses, including
coffee and cheese and served
American style.
1 No sentries are in evidence, nothing
to mark the Chateau as the residence '
of the Commander in Chief. The visitor's
car drives through a plain unguarded
gateway in a closely set
? grove, along a curving roadway for a
few hundred yards, and then only is
had the first glimpse of the old castle,
living in its parks and lawns bordered
on one side by a long, sweeping
curve of the River Marne and its
canal, lined on either bank with tall
populars set equistant and lending
an added touch of formality to the;
always formal French landscape. |
Often General Pershing himself
rises from a seat on the terrace to
greet a guest and, if not, one of his
staff. The meal is very informal, conversation
being general and the Commander-in-Chief
apparently does not i
like to linger at table. Afterward
coffee and cigars in the big lounge
room or a stroll under the trees until
^ "the General indicates that his leisure
is ended.
General Pershing has kept himself:
in splendid physical condition during,
these trying months. He is as lean
and clear eyed as he was when he!
-ome from the Mexican campaign,;
as straight and soldierly in bearing
as he was in the days of his Phillippine
campaigns when he first won notice.
His eyes still twinkle when ocIThis

casion calls and the corners of his'
mouth still turn in the familiar,
quickly passing smile.
For those he has known in past J
days he always has some mutual re-|
miniscence to recall, an incident of ,
the Philippines or of Mexico or the,
days when he was on duty in Wash-j
ington, and his hearty laugh often
sounds through the doors of his of-j
fice as he chats with some old ac-j
nnninton noc

O
Columbia, S. C., Jan 7.? That the i
proposition advanced by the automobilists
of the state to have an election (
on the question of issuing bonds in j
the sum of $25,000,000 for the pur-h
pose of building a system of concrete !,
roads connecting the county seats of ,
the state is meeting with great favor ,
all over the state is indicated by the j
comment of well known men from',
different sections who have been in ,
Columbia recently. All report that ]
the people of their respective com- 1
munities want to get out of the mud ,
and believe that this plan offers them ,
a real opportunity. ,
Col. Arthur L. Gaston, of Chester,
who was in Columbia Monday night
declared that the people of his coun- ]
ty are strong for good roads. This was
proved by their action in voting a ,
county bond issue for permanent 1
roads. Just as they voted for the ,
county bond issue, so will they vote ,
for the state bond issue, in the opinion
of Col. Gaston.
Capt. Richard F. Watson, of Green-1:
ville, who was here a few days ago,
declared that lands in Greenville
county along the permanent highways
constructed there had advanced
over 50% in value. Capt. Watson's
attention was called to an interview
given out by John D. Harris, a well
known Greenville fanner, saying that
property values along the permanent
roads had increased 25 to 50% and
was asked if this was not a slightly
excessive estimate. "Mr. Harris was
too conservative, if he erred at all,
replied Capt. Watson. I know of instances
where property has advanced
more than 60 per cent.
Capt. Watson, who has just been
mustered out of the service, is very
strongly in favor of the bond and says
it will mean a greater state.
Col. Joe Ducworth, a member of
the last House of Representatives, in
which he was a member of the ways
and means committee, is another
strong supporter of the bond issue.
Ho believes that the people are at
last awakening to the absolute necessity
of having good roads. Col.
Ducworth introduced a till at the
last session ot me tiouse looaing iu
the working of the convicts of the
penitentiary on the public roads of i
the state.
Hubert G. Osteen, of Sumter, editor
of the Daily Item, and a well
known business man of his town, j
says the people of Sumter want good !
roads and will support any plan that
will enable them to get the roads.
Col. L. Wigfall Cheatham of Edgefield,
says old Edgefield is just like
every other co :nty in the state. It
wants the roads.
