American Doughboy World's Best Fighter . New York. Sept. S.?"The Ameri can doughboy is the finest soldier in the world and it did not take the Germans long to find it out," declar ed Gen. Pershi.ng in an interview granted newspaper men today at the >Valdorf Astoria. "We boasted a little, probably, of the peculiar qualities of the Am-erie.m fighting man, but his aggressiveness, initiative and devotion as a member of the American Expeditionary forces gives us every right to boast and to be proud of him." the Commander said. "I suppose it is because of the way th% American boy is raised, due to the fact that he is encouraged to develop his initiative and that he feels at any crisis of his life that he is mas ter of his own destiny." The.interview, brought about in the hope that the general might be will ing to express his views upon such subjects as the league of nations, t he situation in Europe- and in Mexico, what he intended doing when he en tered civil life, when he expected to retire from the army and similar ques tions, was preceded by a general handshaking all around and a re mark by Gen. Pershing that all such topics were "taboo." '"I am still on duty," he said. "It is a pleasant duty, hut very strenu ous." The general had just finished luncheon after a little rest to refresh himself after the arduous hours of the morning and he said that while he was glad to meet all the newspaper men he could only answer such ques-" tions as properly came within the. range of his profession. The question was asked: "General, what do you consider the ? crowning achievement of your serv- ; ice abroad?" to which he replied: "Cutting the German lines at Sedan j on Xovember-G." "Was that a more difficult opera tion than cutting the Hindenburg line?" he wa? asked. "Cutting the Hindenburg line was a. start toward cutting the line Sedan. It was hard to teil whajj might have become of it under dif ferent circumstances. It followed the final effort of the Germans to force their way through but their armies were beaten before they started." "General will you say a few words about Marshal Foch?" "Marshal Foch." he replied appre ciatively, "is a very great strategist." War Trophy Saving Banks. The First National Pank. The City National Bank, the National Bank of Sumter and the Peoples' Bank for the purpose of encouraging thrift among the school children and promoting the sale of War Saving Stamps have procured a supply of War Trophy Savings Banks made from hand gren ades that were turned over to the treasury department by the war de1 partment after the signing of the ar mistice. These are real hand gren ades, such as was used in the bat ties in France, with the explosive) remov ed, and are interesting souvenirs of the great war. Any school child who applies at either of the hanks named will receive one of these War Trophy savings banks, the only condition be ing that the child will promise to save j money for the purchase of Thrift j Stamps. When enough has been sav jed to purchase one War Saving Stamp I the bank becomes the personal proper ! ty of the recipient, otherwise the grenade bank must be returned to the I bank from which it was received.
