Stand Against Revolutionary
Doctrines to Last Breath.

Chicago, Dec. 20--"The American
Legion, l am sure, will stand against
revolutionary doctrines to the last
breath" General John J. Pershing told
two thousand cheering legionnaires
here today.
General Pershing from the time of
his arrival today was the object of en-
thusiastic hero worship by large
crowds. Men. women and children Of
all ages thronged the streets waiting
for hours for a glimpse Of the leader.
THE unrest in the country and
throughout the world is the natural
aftermath of the war Pershing said.
THE magnitude of the war measures
the magnitude of the unrest.

are guardians Of our future. 1t is up

passiveiy, but actively; morally IL pos
eiblc. but n necessary not TO hesitate

with SO aboard came from Pittsburgh
bearing the products Of raids in the

Alexander Berkman, anarchists ex-
traordinary who loudly proclaimed
their Joy at the prospects of returning
to free Russia"-and then fought de-
portation even unto the supreme court.
There was some speculation tonight
as to whether the captain OF the AN

and send out some sort OF dove to learn
how the land lay--and as to whether
the dove would bring back Trotsky
