Pershing Sees
Danger in Present
Attitude of Allies

Lowell, Mass, Dec. 14.-General
John j. Pershing, speaking in the
Memorial Auditorium this evening
at dinner Of the Chamber of Com
merce, declared that the Allies who
recently fought side by side in
France, are now ready to spring at
each others threats, and it is the
duty of America to be reasonably
prepared to defend her rights and
honor.
He urged more generous appro-
priation for the army re-organiza-
ton plan and said that unless peo-
pie in every community sent to Con-
gress, men of vision in international
affairs they could not expect an army
ready to take its place in the line
when the country needed it.
General Pershing denounced par
Tor bolshevism" which he said was
particularly rampant in this section
of the country. The United States
does not have to look to Europe for
guidance in her national policy, he
declared. but could learn from her
own bitter experience the lesson of
preparedness. He decried as twad-
die talk of disarmament.
