PERSHING WARNS NEEDLESS
WHO GIVE SUPPORT TOREDS
Reminds Them, in Boston Speech, That Aim of Move
ment Is to Destroy America-Says Many of
High Purpose Are Being Deluded.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
BOSTON, Dec. 14.-Pointing out ten
denotes in this country toward radical
ism, Gen. John j. Pershing warned
against it in any form in an address
this afternoon before the Women's
Republican Club of Massachusetts,.
1T seems strange" said Gen. Perish
ing ''that men and women of high pur-
pose should preach the doctrine of in
ternationalism and fail TO realize what
might look with greater complacence
upon the advocates OF such doctrine if
we could always believe in the sincerity
Of their purpose, but when we have posi-
tive evidence that sinister propaganda
Is spread by societies organized for
this especial purpose. we would be false
to our obligations if we should lend a
willing ear.
1T is well known that dangerous eie-
ments are moving toward revolution
in America, and that those who would
destroy us work both openly and Sc
cretly.
ut is perhaps because national prob
lens have not been thoroughly dis
cussed that there have crept into so
many women's clubs these undermining
and disruptive tendencies toward radi-
calism of all sorts, but particularly in
the insidious and poisonous form of
pacifism. the disease which strikes at
constitutional government.
These elements have not hesitated to
bring to women's clubs and other societies
their carefully clothed arguments for
American surrender, with the alarming
result that many misguided persons have
been persuaded to sign pledges not to
serve their country in any capacity in
time OF war.
II shall not undertake to character
ize the craven influence which would
induce any American thus to sign away
