WASHINGTON, July l0-(AP)_ General of the armies John J, (Black Jack) Pershing. who in his 8'1 years had fought Indians and led United States forces in the First World War. died today.

The country's flags were lower- ed to hall-staff in grateful re- spect. by Presi- dential order.

Death. which had hovered near the ailing old soldier for many months, came quietly m the pro-dawn hours.

At Walter Reed Army Medical Centre. where he had been a pa- tient since 1941, the doctors said a blood clot was the irrimedirim cause or death. But a heart con- dition. produced by extreme ago. had paved the way.

en. Pershing will be buried Monday in Arlington National Military Cemetery after ceremon- ies such as the country reserves for its great men. D

President Truman called for a country-wide memorial observance of the Gem-M's death.

Pershing was graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1886. a second lieutenant of tav- alry. lie served as a scout against the Sioux Indians in Nebraska and the Dakotas and later in the. war with Spain. ‘in the Philippines and then in France.

President Wilson picked him to lead the American expeditionary force and Pershing sailed for France May 28, 1917.

In July. 1921, he became chief of

staff cf- the army. In three years -

in that office Pershing modernized the general staff and expanded military education and training systems that laid the foundation for the army which fought in the second World Win’.
