From a thousand factories a vessels steam sirens shrieked out raucous welcome, but vainly tried drown the roar of cheers which rc and fell and rose again. Seems Embarrassed. At first Gen. Pershing seemed to suffering more from embarrassme than any other emotion. He walk swiftly from the landing stage to I gaily decorated automobile and s( tied himself down in his seat like man who has an important journ to make and wants to get it over wi as quickly as possible. But as t long procession of cars started i Broadway he was engulfed in a flo of enthusiasm before which no mi could have remained unmoved. The great canyon which forms Ne York's financial district, today tl financial heart of the world, was bedlam of noise and a riot of cok Every window in the huge sky scra ers was packed and even the clot piercing roofs had their quotas. Fro these a storm of many-colored co fetti descended on the surging crow< beneath. The enthusiasm of the spectato found vent in one unrehearsed in< dent which was received by Gen. Pe shing with apparently mingled fee ings. As he entered the city ha flanked by Governor Smith and May lylan, a woman burst past the poli guards and implanted a sound ki on his cheek. Another woman stirr to emulation, attempted to repeat t feat, but the general raised hi? has in supplication: "Oh, madam," he said, "please dot Not that." The ceremony at the city hall whe Gen. Pershing was officially welcom, to New York was brief. After ti mayor had deliverea his address welcome and the general had made short reply the party emerged aga and the procession was resumed. Sheet Iron Music. As the procession advanced uptov steam sirens grew few, but at a ste foundry, twvo husky former "dloul boys," whose somewhat grimy kha trousers explained how they ha beaten their swords into prunir hooks, proved that the American sc dier has not an unjust reputation f ingenuity. They had erected an enc mous piece of sheet iron on the pay ment and with two hammers made racket which s'eemed to please thei wvhatever were the feelings of th( neighbors. A little further on a lari junk shop provided an ancient chur< hell which three girls banged lusti with hammers. On arrival at his hotel the gener retiredi immediately to the suit whi< hadl been reserved for him. There lunched privately with his son ar sisters, Miss May Pershing, of Li: coin, Neb., and Mrs. D.
