He thinks very clearly and directly; goes to his conclusions directly when matters call for decision. He can talk stralghter to people when calling them down than any one I have seen. I have not yet experienced It, though. He has naturally a good disposition and a keen sense of humor. He loses his temper occasionally, and stupidity and vagueness Irritate him more than anything else. He can stand plain talk, but the staff officer who goes In with only vagueness where he ought to have certainty, who does not know what he wants, and fumbles around, has lost time .and generally gained some straight talk. He develops great fondness for people whom he likes and Is Indulgent toward their faults, but at the same time Is relentless when convinced of Inefficiency. Personal loyalty to friends Is strong with him, I should say, but does not blind him to the truth..-- . Writing of the early days in 1917, when the A. E. F. was in its infancy, General Harbord found an excellent character study In contrasting the types presented by Pershing and the French commander, Petain, between whom at this time there c2lA5-5.Zikw3?S existed not too cordial relations.

Various Utah and industries through briefs tiled with the interstate commerce commission by II. W. Prickett of Salt Lake City, assail the proposal of the railroads to make a general 5 per cent advance in freight rates, in order that they may reduce rates on agricultural products. "3lr. Prickett filed individual briefs, for the National Woolgrowers' association, Salt Lake chamber of commerce, Utah chapter of the American Mining congress, United States Sugar Manufacturers' association, Utah Oil company and the Ogden Grain exchange, each assailing the proposed advanced from a different angle and all in turn asking for a reduction in prevailing rates. In his brief for the Salt Lake chamber of commerce Mr. Prickett says, Present rates on commodities to Salt Lake City from Chicago and Missouri river territory are unreas.onaBly. high In their relation to rates on the same commodities from the same points of origin to San Francisco. It is the proposal of the carriers to increase rates to Salt Lake City without a contemporaneous increase in the rates to San Francisco and other Pacific coast points. Te allow such increase to become effective 'would not only further emphasize the unreasonableness of the existing relatively high rates to Salt Lake City compared with those to San Francisco and other coast points, but would" emphasize the unlawfulness of a rate structure which, as it now exists, results preferentially to the San Francisco distributor and to the Salt Lake distrubtor In violation of section 3 of the interstate commerce act. Presenting the protest of the beet suger interests of Utah and other western states, Mr. Prickett shows that the prewar rate on sugar from Utah and Idaho to Chicago was 43 cents. It is now 68 cents. Freight rates on sugar, he declares, have been advanced to a greater degree than those on any other food product, and such rates should not be liable to further increases. The proposed increases in the rates on beet sugar from the district made without distributing the rates vane sugar refineries enjoy would give the refineries of the east, handling largely Cuban sugar, a large advantage. -- Mtuim James EHarhnrd Te Is of Greatest Conflict in History .IIAT does-brigade comnmnder think about?

This Information sometimes takes a day and night to filter In, and It Is difficult to be patient. The telephone gets cut at critical times, and you cannot uje It except In code, for the modern listening sets enable the enemy to hear, and the operators have continually to be cautioned to be careful about revealing confidential matter over the telephone. Officers under fire are oblivious to the passage of time and forget the Importance of reports. You can't help them unless you know where they are, how they are, and when Reports come In without the hour on them, and are worthless, for you do not know when the conditions reported existed Certainly It Is no exaggeration to say that the liaison Is of the very highest Importance.
