EVENING PUBLIC
brought forth the greatest ovation of
the city hall reception by declaring:
"Winning the war has made the
name of General Pershing historic for
all time."
"Home, Sweet Home" Fills Air
The welcome given him would have
quickened the pulse of the hero of a
Itoman triumph. Fresh from the capi
tals of allied Europe where honors bad
been heaped upon him, It remained for
New York to show the first American
to lead an army across the Atlantic
that "Home, Bweet Homo" has a
meaning deeper than "Hall to the
Chief."
No foreign throats could voice tho
cheers, no alien hearts could pulse the
greeting that was General Pershing's
today. There was a hint of tears In
thc welcome, for those who gave it
knew that not even the plaudits of a
grateful people could banish from the
sad-faced soldier's mind thc memorj
of his own life's tragedy.

daughters lost their lives in the
burning of the Presidio, August 27,

Forts Roar Welcome
Dawn barely had broken when the
I.cvinthnn loomed through the mists off
Ambrose Channel lightship. Steaming
slowly through the narrow passageway,
the- great steamship was greeted by a
convoy nj sit destroyers, while sea
plancs circled overhead. The forts
which guard the harbor boomed a gen
eral's salute as thc ship, which once
was the pride of Germany, crept past
quarantine and nosed through the Nar
rows into thc harbor under the shadow
of the Status of Liberty.
While thc guns still echoed, the
whistles of merchant vessels from the
seven sens, sturdy tugs, gayly decorated
ferry boats, excursion craft of every
kind and the sirens of factories on shore
joined in a discordant salutation.
Cheering Throngs Line Shores
The shores of Statcn Istand, llrook
1 n, New Jersey and Manhattan were
lined with thousands, whose shouts of
greeting came faintly across the waters
of tho bay to the familiar figure on 'he
bridge. They made up the anguard
of the vast army of wclcomers which
already had packed Battery Park and
overflowed into the streets beyond,
waiting patiently until General Per
shing had been greeted by Vice Presi
dent Marshall and the secretary of war
and was ready to cross the river to thc
great city that was eager to pay him
tribute.

In welcoming General Pershing Sec

honor of designating you to lead the
armies of the United States In .France
Today you return, your mission accom
plished, with victory written on thc
banners of tho greatest army tho. na
tion has ever had and with the price
less foundations of liberty nnd freedom
saved for us and for the world as the
result of our participation In the world
war.
"Tho task entrusted to you required
all the Imagination, all the energy nnd
all the genius of a great commander
From the first you had Uic complete
confidence or the President nnd the sec
retary of war. This confidence re
mained unshaken to the end.
"From the beginning you had all
the support the people of the United
States could give. You and your great
nrmv embodied for them their country
and their country's cause. They work
ed with devotion and self -sacrifice to
sustain nnd supply vou with troops nnd
equipment. Their hearts went overseas
with you, and their prayers for your
welfare and that of your men were con
stant. "Doubtless the confidence and affec
tion of your fellow citizens were an In
spiration to you in the hours of prep
aration and in the hours of battle,
and the superb exploits of the army un
der your command were in turn an in.
splratlon to our national effort.
"Thc grent victories are now on.
Your magnificent army has returned
and the soldiers who once marched
through the 'thickets of the Argonno
arc citizens again, filled with high
memories of great deeds and carrying
into life the inspiration which member
ship In that great company and sacri
fice for that great cause engenders.
Your return closes the history of the
American expeditionary force.
The President had hopes to be here
personally to speak on behalf of the
nation a word of welcome. In his en
forced absence he has directed me to
speak it.
'Tibld you welcome, gratefully, on
behalf of the country you have served
and on behalf of the people whose sons
you have led. The confidence with
which we sent you away you have
sacredly kept. Wherever there is a
soldier or a friend of a soldier there is
a lover of liberty ; wherever there Is
a heart which rejoices at the deliver
ance of mankind from Its hour of peril
you nnd your great army are remem
bered and loved. You return not only
to American soil, but to the heart of
the country.
