400 PERSHING
CAPTURE
N. Y.BY STORM
Gotham Surrenders When
American Heroes Go Over
Top on Island. *

New York. Aug. 3o.-Four hundred
Pershing veterans came over the top
here today by way OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and took the city by
storm. The city surrendered instantly
and took the young veterans. many
of whom were war-scarred. to the
hearts of its people.
''Oh boy. but it's good to be In lit
tie old New York."
1T sure Is. This is our happy home
all right"
These and similar phrases were
tossed back by twelve members Of
the l65th Infantry. the "old Fighting
Sixty-ninth of New York" who were
part of Pershing's veterans, as the
400 drove through the city's streets
and received such a welcome as only
New York knows how to give. The
warm reception was not alone for
members of the l65th, but for each OF
practically every division OF the
troops which went to fight overseas.
First Public Appearance.
They returned recently from
France to help train troops in the
actual methods of modern warfare,
and came in from Camp Dix. where
they are stationed. to help stimu-
late interest in the big police field
day at Sheepshead Bay speedway
tomorrow. Today's visit marked
their first public appearance since
returning from France. All were
nom commissioned officers save
Lieut.. w. Lawrence Hazard, who
was in command.
Men view with the women and girls
and children who risked being run
over by the buses bearing Persh-
ing's veterans, to get near enough
to shake the soldiers hands and
tell them huskily they were ''all
right" Flowers were thrown by
hundreds of girls and eagerly
gathered.
The veterans detrained at Penn
syIvania Station and were greeted
noisily by an immense throng as they
left the station. Even the laborers
working on the new Pennsylvania
Hotel opposite the station threw down
their tools and cheered the bronzed,
outstanding young Americans. As
they crossed town. and especially as
they drove down Fifth avenue to the
Sixty-ninth Armory, where they are
quartered. the veterans were subject
ed, and grinnlngly showed that they
liked it. TO one continuous and tre-
mendous roar OF applause.
Many bore the gold chevrons de-
noting they had been wounded. and
some had insignia showing several
wounds. Lieut.. Hazard said citations
for the Croix de Guerre and other
honor medals had been received by q
considerable number OF the men.
During their stay they are the city's
guests. and plans were made to show
the city's appreciation OF their work
in France. Tonight they are being
entertained at private homes and In
theaters. pausing between whiles to
speak from various stages, and in sew
eral theaters to give a brief manual
drill.
