Gen. Pershing after eulogising Mr.
Hoover for his work in Europe during
the war said:
Pershing Favors World Disarmament.
"Today even the most destitute of
our children in America are rich in
comparison with millions of children
ot the poverty stricken nations of
Europe who appeal to us for help.
It seems to me that if there ever was
a time in the history of the world
when human sympathies should be
stirred to activity. It is daring this
after-the-war period."
Gen. Pershing also spoke in favor
of world disarmament.
"The world doesn't seem to learn
from experience" he said. "It would
appear that the lessons of the past
six years should be .enough to con-
vince everybody of the danger of na-
tions striding up and down the earth
armed to the teeth. But no one na-
tion can reduce armaments unless all
do."
An important utep to prevent a re-
currence of a world war evn greater
than the one recent v ended would
be to curtail expenditures for the
maintenance of armies and navies.

Rome Italy Dec .- A descrip-
tion of the last phase of the struggle
in Flume received today showed
that the legionnaires reopened fire
against the troops who were merely
holding the positions they had taken
Monday night.
The fight assumed the character of
guerrilla warfare all along the line.
The legionnaires took advantage of
the natural resources of the terrain
for laying ambuscades.
As the regulars were advancing
across orcnards tney were enveloped
by fire from machine guns which had
been sunk to the level of the ground
and cleverly camouflaged. The
houses seemed to have been aban-
doned hot when the troops ap-
g reached the legionnaires hidden be-
ind the windows and chimney stacks
and on balconies and roofs sudden-
ly opened fire. EveA women were
found working machine guns. The
gravest losses were inflicted by hand
grenades which were used so freely
as to give the impression that they
must nave oeen accumulated by
