Pershing mark ed his 80th birthday anniversary today with a plea that America "face the facts'' on an imminent danger of war. Speaking over the radio Just after receiving the Distinguished Service Cross in a White House ceremony, Pershing said: 'Twenty-one years ago none of us dreamed that the calamity of war would come again to the world so soon and in such hide ous and devastating form. Imperative Warning "But we must face the facts of today. Their warning call to America is shrill and impera tive. The danger is imminent. The call comes not only to us who fought in the World war and to those who stood ready, but it comes to every patriotic citizen living under the protec tion of our great government. "To meet it, we must pledge ourselves anew to fulfill our obligations to the nation, and again, avow eternal, devotion to the principles of liberty and Jus tice upon which this nation rests." The decoration Pershing re ceived at the White House was for "extraordinary heroism in action against hostile fanatical Moros at Mount Baksak, Jolo, Philippine Islands, on June IS, 1913." Refused In 1922 He refused the award in 1922 because he was then army chief of staff and thus had control of the decorations board, also, he was quoted as saying, because he did not think the action it recognized was up to the stan dard of the A. E. F. in 1917-18. The award citation said Persh ing, then a brigadier general, "personally assumed command of the assaulting line at the most critical period when only about IS yards from the last Moro position. His encourage ment and splendid example of personal heroism resulted in a general advance and the prompt capture of the hostile strong hold." Also at the White House, the old soldier received from the new French ambassador, Gaston Henri-Haye, a personal letter from his old friend, Marshal Henry Petain, and a letter from the city of Versailles where .stands a monument to Pershing. ! v t , , I. iWM ! lHi-:h Cnr For BarjnrM rwdcrlckuburg, V. ijp A robbery victim churkim an to reported this one to police: He was strolling along with a package in his hands when a young boy snatched the package and disappeared In the crowd.
