GENERAL PERSHIN MAY LIVE ON

War Veteran Rallies After Hope Had Failed

Tucson, Mar. 5.

General John J. Pershing, Commander of American Expeditionary Forces in France during the Great War, who has been seriously ill here, may live several more years if he remains quiet and avoids any strain on his heart, Dr. Roland Davison, his personal physician announced here to-day.

Fighting for his life with grim determination, General Pershing has rallied during the past week after all hope for his life had been abandoned attending physicians.

Dr. Davison spiel General Pershing was in "fne" condition to-day and revealed he might be taken outside to enjoy the sunshine "when the sun becomes warmer." He said General Pershing's strength was continuing to improve and the condition of his heart was more satisfactory.—United Press.
