' Mis voice trombled with emotion as he ? responded to the greetings extended by Secretary of War Itaker iu his own be Half and that of tlu> President, as well as the welcoming addresses of rep rivseatatives of the Senate and Housq* the State and' city. As his car pawned slowly through the cheering multitudes which jammed Broa<V way from the Mattery to the city hall, (len. Pershing attempted iu vain to maintain his composure. At he replied to the cheers with * the stiff salute which military etiquette demands, but he was soon carried away by the U rin of applause which swept in great gUHis alKiut him. (iising to his feet lie waved his cap about his head with a boyish gesture which told how deeply he was "stirred, while the grim Hues of his bronzed face broke into a smile, New York did not exhaust its welcome today.

"Sergeant" Warren Pershing, the com mander-in-chief's only surviving child. When the general received his <X>m mixsioii he turned t<> his son and liand j fd him the document with an injunc tion to keep it 'safe. The "sergeant" kept, it safe all right, but later on. in the great crowd at the city hall he got separated from his father, much to the dismay of the general. When Hie boy was recovered his father" anked anxiously : "Warren, have you got the commis sion ?" "Yes sir." replied the "sergeant" promptly. "Well, .see that' you hold on to it." Among a little army of welfare workers who greet?"d Gen. Pershing were fifty girls three of whom were deco rated for bnjvery under fire while serv ing with the First Division. Hut.it was reserved to New York to begin the real ovation to the return ing hero. For hours before the ar rival, "the Hattery" was thronged with patient thousands. As the little boat with its distinguished party steamed up to the pier an uproar began such as Manhattan probably never had heard. From a thousand factories and vessels steam sirens shrieked out a raucous wel come. but vainly tried to drown the roar of cheers which rose and fell and rose again. At first Gen. Pershing seemed to be suffering more from embarrassment than any other emotion. He waiked swiftly from the landing .^tage to his gaily decorated automobile and settled him self down in his seat like a man who has an important journey to make and wants to get if over with a- quickly as possible. Hut as the long procession of cars started up Hroadwuy he wa> engulfed in a flood of enthusiasm be fore which no man could hate remain ed unmoved. The great canyon which forms New York's financial district, today the finan cial heart of the world, was a bedlam of noiwe and a riot of color. Every WTrrrtmr. m *ky was l>aWked and ever the cloud piercing roofs hod their quotas. From these a storm of manj- -colored confetti descend ed on the surging crowds beneath. The enthusiasm of the spectators found vent in one unrehearsed incident which was received by Gen. Pershing with af?parently mingled feeling*.

La -l Thursday evening at the negro camp near Shannon Hill two negroes got into a quarrel while at supper and Lee Brown was shot and instantly killed by Fred Brown. Fred ran off, but came back to the camp that night to get his money and other things and while there Deputy Folsom arrested him aud he is now in jail awaiting trial at next term I of court. It is said the offense was ! very trivial that caused- the shooting. Sale of Ileal Estate. The two >s to Vy brick store on DeKalb Street occupied by O. W.

B eruor Smith and Mayor Hylan, a wo man burst past the police guards and implanted a sound ? kiss on hie cheek. Another woman, stirred to emulation, attempted to repeat the fent, but the general raised his hand in ftupplication : "Oh, madam," he said, "please don't N.rt that." The ceremony at the city hall where ( ten. Pershing was officially welcomed to New York was brief. After the mayor had delivered his address of welcome and the general bad made a short reply the party emerged again and the procession was resumed. As the procession advanced uptown steam sirens grew few, but at a^stee! foundry, two husky former "dough boys' whose somewhat grimy khaki trousers explained bow they had beaten their swords into pruning hooks, proved tliat the American soldier has not an unjust reputation, for ingenuity. They had erected an enormous piece of sheet iron on the pavement and with two hammers made n racket which seemed to please them, whatever were the feelings of their neighbors. A little fwrther on a large junk shop provided an ancient, church bell which three girls banged lustily with hammers. On arrival at his hotel the general retired immediately to the suite whict had been reserved for him. There he lunched privately with his son and sis ters. Miss May Pershing, of Lincoln, Neb., and Mrs. D. M. Birtler. After lunchcon he received a uiuni>er of ?!?? ?tors, including Senator Warren, of Wy oming. his father-in-law, and William Jennings Bryan, who is a fellow guest in the hotel. So many invitations have been ex tended to Gen. Perabing that he decided today to prolong his stay here until Thursday, leaving for Washington that nicbt. l ll-H T.

He was singled out of a Uirge number, many older and more experienced, for promotion to officer's rank and was quickly sent to France. He made an excellent record in foreign service, and upon his return to America his commanding officer urged upon him the need for men to teach in the army aviation schools, for which work he had shown a peculiar litnCss. He consented to remain for a. time in the service reeog 'nixing the real need that existed for men of his experience and training.
