The American soldier waa second
to none over there," aaid General Joha
J. Pershing in addressing a crowd of
several hundred people, mostly school
children from the rear platform of hia
private car at the S. P. station thia
noon. .
General Pershing and staff passed
through Albany on train No. 15 oa
hia way from Camp Lewis to Saa
Francisco, on his trip of inspection of
army camps and greeting the people
of the United States. . . .
When the train stopped the stal
wart fighting man, who led the Unit-
; States forces through the worst
!-nt or Oattle with less trmin-
ing than any other race the world has
ever known. Our system of govern
ment and schools makes this possible."
General Pershing thanked the
school children for the hearty recep
tion given him in Albany, not only
for himself but in behalf of the army
which he represents. He stated that
I ne ala no1 c'"n tnat tne United
States won the world war, but added
Jk,nKly th had this country not
gone to the rescue of the allies that
they surely would have been whipped
by the Huns.
At the beginning of his talk General'
Pershing made sure that he was in
Albany, explaining that the other day
he was addressing a crowd in Wash
ington and thought that he was talk
ing to Oregon people.
Albany would have liked to have
had the world's foremost soldier as
its guest for a longer time. The work
of Pershing will stand out as one of
the greatest achievements in organiza
tion and personal direction in history.
From. the beginning of America's en
trance in the war he was on the job
directing the gigantic construction
enterprises carried on by the United
States in France. He made his recom
mendations and got what he wanted.
