BULLITT GRABISCH BERLIN 'Match 21 — General Erich Ludendorff to whom I submitted the memoirs of General John Pershing now running in The Balt Lake Tribune and other newspapers gave me the following considered opinion: "From a military standpoint General Pershing was perfectly right in his insistence that American soldiers should build up a separate army The proposal to merge American troops in the English and French armies Is but evidence of the mechanical conception of the English and French leaders In the war "Of xourse American machine guns could be used by the English and French armies but it would have been a grave military error not to have formed the American soldiers Into their own separate units Thfc soldier Is not a machine ‘‘General Pershing has here given proof of his sound

The movement that Is carrying Governor Franklin Roosevelt of New York toward the Democratic presl dential nomination Is at a stage so interesting as to be really fascinating to any experienced political observer or to anyone who watches with understanding those maneuvers of popular psychology that eventuate In po- litical 'results I put it this way "The movement that Is carrying Governor Franklin Roosevelt” because I shrink from saying "Governor Roosevelt’s candi dacy” and from using any other phrase that Implies purpose on the part of the New York The motives that cause governor any public man to take certain steps are something Within the boundaries of his own skull They cannot be known positively to any outsider often they are unknown or vague to the man himself The phrases gl most universally used about every man who has become a presidential possibility such as "Roosevelt’s candidacy” or “Smith’s candidacy” or Ritchie’s candidacy” or Includes an assumption which In the nature of things cannot always be exact One unfortunate result of this looseness of phraseology Is to attribute to a public man motives of ambition for actions which In fact may have been Inspired by simple sincerity Movement Include Several Factors The movement of a mkn toward the presidency is’ made up of several active factors: What he f himself does what he does for a political wbaJUthL friends do what Surpoee by to whom his per$tatagn or his record appeals the sonality mere nature of political and economic conditions at the time the man happens to emerge With respect to Governor Roosevelt all these factors are operating ' Borne of the factors work In bis behalf others impede him Some factors help him with some elements of the voters but harm him t tylth others With this explanation let us say that Governor Roosevelt during the 3 resent month has taken two steps ikely to help him toward the presidency through their appeal to two separate groups of voters (The
