mere soldiers, sailors, marines and
aviators representing virtually every
state in the union entered fog-bound
New York harbor today on six large
transports from European ports. The
tales these men toiG ABOUT one another
We're variations of American high
courage on French battle fields, on the
open seas and in the air above France
and England. Hundreds of the men,
manned for life by wounds received in
some of the wars heaviest fighting
were hurried to hospitals, and the
others went to camps, where they will
be demobiiZed.
Some had left America as scarcely
more than boys but they come back as
men, either wounded or sound. The
wounded included soldiers who had
walked with clutches when their
ships sailed from Europe, and who,
made exultant by their home coming,
tossed their props aside and declared
themselves cured" as if by the miracle
of their return. Here was man with
a jaw shot away-and happy in his
expectation of reioining his wife and
children. There was a man with both
feet gone. amputated by surgeons
after tho bones had been splintered by
German shells in the bloody Argonne
forest. but glad, he said, that he had
served country and flag regardless OF
the cost to himself Other men had
met with different misfortune;
these were unable to discern the torch
which the Statue of Liberty held high
above the busy harbor and moving
troops And there were others who
could not hear the ports whistles and
the ali raid sirens which shrieked
their welcoming demonstration. Many
CT these men had eaten their Thanks
giving dinners on shipboard ana were
glad they were home in time to have
then Christmas dinner in their homes.
Wounded Girls Also.
All who returned today were not in
military or naval service as actual
fighters. There were Y, w. c. A. girls
who had suffered from gas poisoning,
Y NJ. G., A. workers who had strength
ened soldiers morale while under fire,
and chaplans who had riskcd their
lives and aided American contingents
in destroying German machine gun
nests. OF these, stories without num-
Der were told tY troops who them
selves had survived the wars dam
gers and spoke modestly of that fact,
illustrative of Yankee heroism was
| the account given CT Captain C. L.
| Glazebrook of Washington, ID. G., a
member of the twelfth field artillery.
Shot in the lung, gassed, wounded in
the leg, removed to a hospital, Cap
tain Glazebrook, arrivals said, stole
away from his cot assembled a uni
form, attached captains bars,
climbed through a window, rode
thirty-six hours on an army truck
without letting his companions know
of his condition ard entered action in
the American advance on the st. Mi
hiel salient. -Four days later, once
more gassed, he was back in the same
hospital.
Asked about this incident, Captain
Glazebrock said;
THE chief surgeon gave me hell.
If you don't die he said, and you
probably will, you will be court mar
tailed But outside the door | heard
him laugh and knew it was all right"
Incidents of Grit.
Behind the crosses of war which
many Of the returned soldiers wore
gifts from the French government
lie Incidents CT doughboy grit and sac
rifice which parallel the incredible
and the telling of which would fill
pages of newspapers Some of the
soldiers and marines described their
mistrust for the Germans who cried
"kamerad' and who We're Killed in
their tracks after treacherous activ-
tiles Sailors spun yarns of battles
with submarines. Aviators explained
how they tempered their disappont-
ment at not reaching France by bring
ing down enemy airplanes during
raids on England.
Trophies of war came home on the
transports, the Adriatic and Ascanius,
(Brtish) and the Tenadores, Kroon-
land, Calamares, and the hospital ship
Mercy (American) There were German
helmets, German machine guns and
German belts with the unfulfilled

played in telling of brave acts per-
formed by particular comrades.
Anther wounded officer was Cap
