Lincoln, Neb. When (Jen. John J.
Pershing left his homo city, Lincoln,
Neb., at the close of the Christmas
holidays to continue his tour of inspec
tion of tho military posts of the coun
try, he left behind him not only thous
ands of new friends and ardent ad
mirers, but also deeply rooted in their
minds the opinion that ho is not only
a soldier, leader, diplomat and bus!
ncss executive of the first order, but
n student with great Insight into
national and world problems.
Little was thought among those who
are not intimately acquainted with the
general of his knowledge of national
and world social and economical prob
lems previous to his visit to Lincoln.
Hitherto he has been silent on all na
tional and world affairs, even in his re
port to tho war department and to
congress, with tho exception of mili
tary conditions.
During his series of addresses at
lcceptions tendered to him by the
business and commercial clubs of his
homo city, however, he revealed to the
public for tho first time his tremen
dous knowledge of national and world
conditions.
Watch Foreign Markets
Following Is a summary of extracts
from the gcneral'B public speeches In
Lincoln:
Watch your foreign markets or
European nations will seize them In
a veiy fow years and get back to a
tjeaco basis as soon as possible were
lis warnings to America during the
com be of on his address. He said
in part:
"I trust that thero will be an early
return to peaceful conditions. It is
imperative for tho nations of the world
that conditions that existed before the
war be restored, and much more lm
portant that the American people, for
their peace of mind and welfare, re
sume commerce and Industry with, re
newed vigor, settle down to a pre"war
basis.
"In tho eyou of our allies, America
stands a living example to the other
nations, and until we settle down and
restore peaceful conditions' they will
not come in their respective .countries.
America should restore peaceful con
ditions within her own boi-tiera and
with other nations. By dolus so she
would go further to bold this ntrtlon
in tho forefront of civilised nations,
that have looked to us as a guide.
"It is imperative for America to ren
sumo peaceful relations if Idle , desire's
to hold place among the nations of the
world that la hers if she forsoes hei
destiny as it should be." Germany and
Franco will both recover rapidly from
the effects of tho war, the, .general said,
uud will soon be reaching out for mar
kets now supplied witlt Amtcteaa
goods.
'Praises American bsgton.
In the other speeches which the gen
eral made ha has given all the praisi
for winning the war to the brave boys'
who fought tor their country overseas;
to tho men who gave their mousy and
ability in this country; to the wcaman
who gave their moral and active sup
port at homo and abroad and to the
farmers, who redoubled tbojr activity
to feed tho nation and tho allies. lis
has stated that the America Legion
is tho greatest bulwark: in America
against the depredations of tho Radi
cals, Reds and dangermu alious. "I
inn suro tlmt all Anverlcaais will fight
the danger of enemy aliens and radi
calism as 1 was suro when I ordered
Americau troops to ftdvanco, that they
would carry the flag: to victory," de
clared General Pershing near tho close
of his first public address at bhe city
auditorium bore.
Guneral Pershing declared the Eag
llsh language should be taught every
foreigner now in tJio United States
"Thero aro between 10,000 and 11,000
nllons now in this country. By forc
ing educational system upon them,
they could be converted to American
citizenship within Hvo years. 33vory
alien should first tj required to learn
the English langviugc within n yoai
after coml'.ig borca. It the aliens are
to stay In this country, for heaven's
sake." hu declarudL "let's make them
citizens."
In uu nddremi to 3,000 members at
the American Legion pos't here, Ge
oral Pershing praised tho organization
as procured Oj lnaiic'.oin tho integrity
of Aiuericun Institutions; to regard
their duty to God and to country and
to opposo autocracy. "The creed of the
leg.on," ho uoclarert. "includes all that
is worth wiUlo."
"Men who woro tho uniforms were
tue Americana,"- 3io aald, "and will
stund up for our institutions now, Just
uu surely us vrlion. I ordered you into
buttle, ou cncrlod tho enemy
tioueheB." He relftemted his frequenl
references to tho alien problem uud
urgod that all truo Americans should
stand out.agalnst bolshevlam and ae
euro tho passage of laws that would
secure the deportation of undesirable
5d Jhoaaslmllurloja ot ilens. He
urged that tho American Legion avolA
politics and those soeklng office
Militarism Impossible
In speaking of his views on military
training, General Pershing said that
six months or a year of military train
ing for the average young man would
give him an increased interest In
American Institutions, build up his
physique, give him a higher sense of
morality and benefit him in case he
should ever be called upon to defend
his country.
"Militarism in the American republic
Is impossible' the general declared
in one of his speeches given before
members ot the notary Club. "Mili
tarism is an autocracy and autocracy
is built up for selfish purposes. Is
thero anyone in America who is going
to build up autocracy for selfish pur
poses? No."
General Pershing paid high tribute
to the American farmer in tho same
address. "Ho is the great Americau
producer upon whom our armies and
the armies of the allies depended for
their maintenance. I want to pay n
tribute due him, not only for myself
but also for the allies who spoke the
praises ot the American farmer as
their means of sustenance during the
dark, days of the war."
Tho general said that the movement
now before Congress providing for the
allotment to the veterans of the world
war ot land now held by the govern
ment should receive tho cordial sup
port of overyone.
Pays Tribute to Women
"I wish to pay a tribute to the wo
men ot the nation," tho general said
in one of his addresses. "It was the
women who prayed for us and sent us
away with the confluence that we
would wln-tho war. They built for the
army its highest morale and main
tained in the men the highest moral
tone. It is to them that we pay our
tribute."
In speaking before 2,000 boy scouts
of Lincoln, General Pershing said,
The scouts' oath embodleB allegiance
to God and to country; that is every
thing. It Includes all else that ie
worth while and goes into the making
of a real man. Be true to God, and
be true to your country and you will
be a true American."
"The scouts Bhould always cling
to their high ideals regardless as to
what it may cost them," he said. "It
is on the mother's knee by the home
fireside, where the first and biggest
lessons of life are learned."
General Pershing declined to go into
any detail In regard to the story of the
war, hut he said be wished to call at
tention to one great lesson.
"Tho.men who served In the army,"
he .asserted, had opportunity to learn
something new about the nations ol
Europe and to compare their relative
merits with their own. It has been
to the advantage of this country," he
declared, "for they loarned that our
system of government Is far superior
to anything the world has ever seen.
It has demonstrated that a democracy
can exist, that it can bo made lasting
upon the earth."
Thanks American People
At the only address made by the
General before the entire public, he
thanked tho people for the support
they had given in the war and praised
various divisions for their wondorful
work. "I can only express to you," he
said, "what I think ot the men who
have won the war and have come back
They are worthy ot your confidence,
they have come back with a sense of
obligation to their country, they are
fully Imbued with a sense of responsi
bility to a country which Is governed
by laws which stand against revolu
tionists and anarchists and we believe
the neonle that stood behind us with
silch great patriotism will stand
against the aggressive methods of ene
my aliens."'
During the time General Pershing
has been here he has been referred
to at every banquet and reception as
the next president of the United States
but he has tailed to show by as much
as tho nicker ot an eye or a change
ot expression what he thought ot the
;idea. He has made no statement to
the press or In his addresses which
would indicate one way or another as
to what he thought ot the matter.
Mayor J. E. Miller, in introducing
the general at the Commercial Club
bnauet, said. "We have work the
world over. The peole of Europe and
Aau neea our, heip. wo man is oettei
qualified to lead us than our General
Fsrshlog." The gathering burst into
eeteors and rose to Its feet shouting
approval hut the general remained
tuunoved.
