Military and V Vocational
Training for U.S.. Youth
Advocated by Pershing

Davenport, Ia, Jan. 6.-Address-
ing citizens of Iowa and Illinois,
General Preshing made strong
appeal for military and vocational
training of the American youth.
A large standing army is not
necessary, General Pershing said, if
backed by trained citizenship.
THE problems of peace" the gen

the problems of war. We must
not sit idly and permit the growth
of dangerous social doctrines. but
must oppose them and destroy them.
Il can assure you that the men
who wore the uniform and who are
now members of the American
Legion stand for all that is worth
while in American citizenship"
