No, she ardently opposed US intervention in the European War, as it was then called (there was no Pacific Theatre in WWI). by the way she won the l93l Nobel Peace prize so pacifist activity was in-character.

Why did Jane Addams win the peace prize?

Jane Addams was a well-respected social reformer and an advocate for poor women and their families, but she was also famous as a pacifist who had long opposed any and all wars. She lived during the first world war and was deeply affected by all the suffering it caused; she did not want to see a second world war. Addams was part of the international peace movement, and joined with other women (and even a few men) in attending conferences to promote cooperation between nations. She lobbied government leaders to try to persuade them to join her cause, and wherever she went, she spent her time advocating strongly for world peace. Her efforts earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.
