PERSHING is POPULAR
Chicago Post of the American Legion
Gave Him an Enthusiastic
Welcome
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Thousands of
persons braved a below freezing tenn
perature yesterday to greet Gen. John
}. Pershing upon his arrival for his
first visit to Chicago since he went
cIerseas to command the American
expeditionary forces. Other thou
Sands assembled along the line of
march to a downtown hotel, where the
generals first ceremonial act was to
bestow on two gold-star mothers the
distinguished crosses their sons earn
ed, through death in gaining access
to France against German opposition.
General Pershing led a parade of
10000 persons through the downtown
district. The general was met at the
station by Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander of the central department
of the army. and his staff. The COM
mander was given roaring welcome
by the former overseas fighters. mem
bers of Chicago's American Legion
posts.
"There is unrest throughout the
country as is always the case after q
war;" General Pershing said. after a
short address. 'It is time for us as a
democracy to realize that we are
guardians of our future. The Ameri-
can Legion will stand up against these
rev olutionary ideas being preached
now. You not only will oppose them
morally, but physically, too, if that is
necessary"
Discussing the aims and purposes
of the legion, he advised the former
soldiers to keep the Organization free
from politics. The American Legion
is not partisan. he said, and should not
allow itself to be banded about by
political office-seekers.
AS the general left the hall he
passed down a lane of wounded men
frcm Fort Sheridan hospital. Many
were, on crutches. The general stop
ped, shook hands with every man and
questioned them closely regarding
their service, wounds and their pro-
gress toward recovery.

"Where is younr wourd chevron ?"

sergeant's undecorated arm. "If had

out at right angles for everybody to

PUTS HOLLAND IN
A PREDICAMENT
Prospect that the Allies Will Soon
Demand the Ex-K Kaiser's
Person
ASSOCIATED PressI

The Hague, Dec, 21.-Long inclined
to believe the Allies would not make
a serious demand for the extradition
of former Emperor William, the Dutch
government now expects such a de-
mand will be made.
"We suppose the demand will come
before long and that several powers
probably will address joint letter to
Holland setting forth the case," an
official said. sour feeling is that the
very men who sign the demand
probably will be hoping all the time
that we will refuse. This demand will
put small nation in difficult posi-
ton, which seems to us not at all
just.n
So far as the Associated Press is
able to learn, Holland will probably
stick to her original intention to re-
fuse a demand for extradition of the
former emperor. There is a growing
feeling in some Dutch circles that the
former monarch himself could end the
difficulty in which he placed Holland
if he chose to show himself grateful
for a years sanctuary.
"He could end the whole difficulty
so far as Holland is concerned" the
official said, "by voluntarily returning
to Germany. German press dispatches
indicate the German inquiry commits
sion would like to interrogate him.
However, from what we can learn, the
former kaiser is not likely to do any
thing like that. He is not afraid to
return, but his mind does not run that
way. 1t is against his ideas to appear
before any inquiry commission as he
still considers himself responsible for
nothing wrong"
