LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 30.-More rapid

sively in the public schools. prepared
ness for what may happen in tho future,
and an understanding of the meaning
of American citizenship were topics
touched upon by General John j. Per-
shing in an address hcre TO-DAY. Speak
ing at the Lincoln Rotary Club, he
said:
"The lessons Of the great war are
many There are certain lessons that
challenge attention. The men compos-
ing the army had the opportunity to
learn about the nations Of Europe and
their systems OF government. This
gave them the opportunity of comparing
the relative merits of our government
to those of Europe, and always to the
advantage of this great Republic.
Through the ,nalyfical demonstra-
ton this opportunity afforded they
have learned that our system in q way
is far superior to anything The world
has ever seen. ii impressed upon .hem
the great fact that democracy can be
made lasting. 1t brought home TO them
the fact that this Republic has come
to stay, and compared to anything that
Europe could produce ought TO make
them proud Of H.
"All the thinking men of 'le army
returned with deeper sense o1 re
sponsibility to their government, and
each man came to realize tha, he him.
self was a ruler and that government
is merely q combination of individual
rulers.
There are about II 000,0O aliens in
this country to whom We owe the duty
Of presenting the utility and necessity
Of our institutions, explaining 10 them
that under our flag Vuch individual ~

we will have converted every one Of

be forced on them to require them TO
earn English within one year after
their arrival in this country. If they
are going 10 stay in America, for
heavens Sake let's make them become

General Pershng believed that edu-
cational centers like thc University Of
Nebraska ought to be the leaders in
this propagcula sd movement.
"Another lesson Of the war ne SAID
