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*

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.
Little is known about the forgotten
people that once lived in this
beautiful retreat in New Mexico, alAl.*..

"Here, boy," said the wealthy motorist,
"I want some petrol and get
a move on. You will never get anywhere
in the world unless you have
push. Push is essential. When I
was young I pushed, and that is what
got me where T am."

Hound of Festivities.
Today was one round of festivities
for Sergeant York. From morning until
long after his ''regular bed time"
he was hurried about the city in taxffiner
Mrs and limousines.
vaus. luuimp v ^ " ? ?
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. His achievementwasthe
most outstanding act of gallantry,

duced, but that I ever heard of. 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.

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. ? Syracuse

of this place, writes: "Five years
ago I was taken with a pain in my
left side. It was right under.- my
left rib. It would commence with an
aching and extend up into my left
shoulder and on down Into my back.
By that time the pain would be so
severe I would have to take to bed,
and suffered usually about three days
... I suffered this way for three years,
and got to be a mere skeleton and was
so weak I could hardly stand alone.
Was not able to go anywhere and had
to let my house work go...I suffered
awful with a pain in my back and I
had the headache all the time. I just
was unable to do a thing. My life
was a misery, my stomach got in an
awful condition, caused from taking
so much medicine. I suffered so much
pain. I had just about given up all
hopes of our getting anything to help
me.
One day a Birthday Almanac was
thrown in my yard. After reading
Its testimonials I decided to try Cardui,
and am so thankful that I did,
for I began to improve when on the
second bottle...I am now a well
woman and feeling fine and the cure
has been permanent for it ha3 been
two years since my awful bad health.
I will always praise and recommend
Cardui." Try Cardui today. E 78
