Sergt. Alvin York World Wa, Killed Twenty Germans, Tc Thirty-six Machin Business ic New York, May 23.?Sergt. Alvin C. York, who received the congressional medal of honor for the highest single-handed achievement of the war. in which he killed 20 Ger mans, took 132 more prisoner, and put 36 enemy machine gun nests out of business in the Argonne, wound up a day of unsuccessful effort to "get into New York city's subway" by hearing himself proclaimed the "greatest soldier in history" at a dinner of the Tennessee society in his honor at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight. From Little Village. York, second elder in the Church of Christ and Christian Union in the v little Tennessee village of Pall Mall, on the Lone Wolf river, was flanked on either side at the speaker's table by Major General George Duncan, who commanded the eighty-second (all-American) division, in which York fought, and Vice Admiral Albert Gleaves. commander of the cruiser and transport force of the navy who "sent him overseas and brought him back." Not only that but a telegram from the Secretary of War was read to him in which Mr. Baker asked that his "very sincerest regards" be personally conveyed to the "distinguished soldier." York's toast was drunk standing, sandwiched in between one to President Wilson and another to Major General D^r^an, and so many times was Serjeant York eulogized and spoken that he heard the toastmaster hesitate as he started to in* "* ? *?V. /livicinn'e I troauce me eigin.'sjctuuu uitmivu ^ commander as "Sergeant?er?that 'is?, Major General Duncan." ^ * ' Sergeant York's Speech. When it came York's turn to stand up and addres the diners he showed his modest simplicity: "I guess you all understand that I'm just a soldier and nbt a speaker," he said. "I'm just a soldier boy?but I want to thank the society and General Duncan, and I want you all to know that what you all have done for me is highly appreciated and I never shall forget it. I thank you very much." / LOST CITY DISCOVERED. I Great Canyon Ne&r Santa Fe Once Had Town of 20,000. i A lost city of 20,000 persons has been found iq^ a great canyon barely 40 miles from the city of Santa Fe, N. M. It is reported to be the first Known city 01 tne \jocmu inues 01 the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest. 'The place is called Rito de los Frijoles or Tyu-on-yi, and is one of the world's wonders. Here, in little caves in the sides of gigantic cliffs, dwelt the prehistoric cliff dwellers of America in communal dwellings, that were almost immune from attack by either man or the giant beasts of the stone age. The valley is about 12 miles long and about half a mile wide, with the ! I sheer walls of the cliff towering per- j pendicularly for thousands of feet, i For some distance they are red or brownish in color and then in places j they are dazzling white. Almost the j entire surface is honeycombed with ' thousands of volcanic blowholes, that , once upon a time belched forth sulphur fumes and steam of the earth's j core. The people used these holes | as doors to their homes, and en- j larged the interiors to suit their fam- \ ilies. Some built three-story build- j ings in front of the caves, but little : remains of these feats of masonry. ] The great ceremonial cave or Kiva, j where the people's councils evidently | assembled,' is located two-thirds of r the way up the -side of a cliff, in a cave inaccessible, save with ladders. The temple is carved out of solid rock, partly by nature and partly by hand.

He was shunted from one place of interest and one reception to another until "eating time" at the WaldorfAstoria gave him a breathing spell. Then he announced modestly, and with no offense intended, that all day long he had wanted to do "just one thing?get into the subway." "That's one place I sure do want to see." he sighed tonight. At dinner Sergeant York was hailed as the soldier "who has distinguished himself above all men in the war. in the achievement of the greatest individual deed-in history." Artist's Opinion. Joseph Cumifiings Chase, who was sent by the war department to "paint the portraits of all the generals in the army and Sergeant York," pointed to what a fine thing it is to see "General Duncan sitting beside Sergeant York," and General Duncan said he was proud to have at his side the "most distinguished soldier the world war has produced." "Sergeant York's deeds are of the character that go down in history I and make our boys patriots in time of stress," continued General Duncan. "He is not only a very unpretentious soldier, but an unassuming, modest man.

He is not only modest absolutely, but unabashed, unafraid in the presence of any gathering of the enemy." The first words of the German major captured by York when he round- j ed up 132 prisoners m the Argonne forest were told by General Duncan: "British?" asked the German major. "American!" said Sergeant York. I "Good Lord!" exclaimed the major. I TWO MEN' WOUNDED. J. C. Harley and Green Williams, Al- J lendale Citizens, in Difficulty.

One night at a theater some scenery took fire and a very perceptible odor of burning alarmed the spectators. A panic seemed to be imminent, when an actor appeared on the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "compose yourself. There is no danger." The audience did not seem reassured. ! "Ladies and gentlemen," continued the comedian, rising to the necessity of the occasion, "confound it all ?do you think if there was any danger I'd be here?" The panic collapsed. ?
