NEW YORK, Sept. 8:--Pershing il
home again!
Standing on the bridge of the huge
Leviathan, itself symbolic of victory
over Germany, the commander OF
the greatest hosts ever gathered un-
der the Stars and Stripes, came slow
ly up the bay today, world famed and
hailed as conquering hero should
be.
Sad of face, stern and impassive, a
figure of soldier came into the view
on the day-27th. when 1t slipped
secretly out of the harbor on the way
to France to prepare the way Of the
hosts that were to follow. Then he
was only major general. He came
back TODAY with four stars on his
shoulder-the fourth man to wear
them under the American flag.
The welcome given him would
, have quickened the pulse of hero
of a Roman triumphate. Fresh from
the capital Of allied Europe, where
honors have been heaped upon him,
1t remained for New York to show
| the first American to lead an army
| across the Atlantic that ! Homes
Sweet Home" has meaning deeper
than "Hail to the Chief"
No foreign throat could voice the
cheers, no alien heart could pulse the
greeting that was Pershings here to-
day. There was hint of tears in the
welcome for those who gave it knew
that not even the plaudits of grate-.
full people could Danish from the sad
faced soldiers mind the memory OF
his own lifes tragedy.
Dawn, nearly had broken when the
Leviathan loomed through the mist Of
Ambrose Lightship channel. Steaming
slowly the great steamship was greet
ed by convoy of six destroyerss
while seaplanes circled over head.
The forts which Jared the harbor
doomed a general salute as the ship
which once was the prize OF Germany
crept quarantine and nosed through
approached quarantine and nosed
through the narrows into the harb0r
under the shadow Of Liberty Statue.
While the guns still echoed, the whis-
ties of merchant vessels, tugs, ferry-
boats, excursion craft of every kind
and the sirens of factories on shore
joined In discorted salutation.
The shores of Staten Island. Brook
lyn, New Jersey and Manhattan were
lined with thousands, whose shots OF
greeting came family across the
waters of the bay to the familiar fig
ure on the bridge. They made up the
vanguard of welcomers which had al
ready filled Battery Park, waiting un-
til Pershing had been greeted by vice
President Marshall and Secretary OF
War Baker and was ready to cross the
river to the city waiting to pay him
tribute. The great liner came up to
her pier at o'clock, as she was being
wharfed into her berth, there was g
tremendous volley of cheering from
the crowd. General Pershing, with
head barred, bowed repeatedly In re-
sponse, once he forgot his dignity anu
waved his cap as he saluted the happy
throng. At the pier were many dlgni-

A greater Perth Amboy,

a greater FeTLn AHDOyt
That fact today is utmost In the
minds and thoughts of everyone IN
this city. An era of prosperity is
upon us. With the closing of the
war business began to find its level,
and this city and in every manufac-
turing city in the country business Is
booming. There are more people
here than ever before and others de-
sire to make their homes here as
soon as places in which they can
live are found. The lack of housing
for people here was first felt with
ries,~ and 1t was felt In some quarters
as soon as the war was over that
many Of these people would move
away again. but this has not been the
case. and many have adopted the city
as their future home.
In order to supply this large num-
Der of people with the necessities OF
life many new stores and establish
ments have opened up for business,
Hardly week passes but what a new
store of some description Is opened
for business. and many times there
are more than one a week. Business
has increased to such an extent that
some of the shops have been pushed
from Smith street. the recognized
business district. into the side streets
such as Madison avenue and Maple
street. New stores are being built on
thee streets each month and they are
usually rented before the buildings
are half completed.
But in spits of all this increase.
business can not continue to run
away. that Is. one proprietor have one
set of ideas, and another another.
These men must get together, work
together. plan together. exchange
ideas and work out those which will
make the city successful as far as its
business interests are concerned and
in order to do this they must have a
representative organization to take
advantage of the era of prosperity
and to keep 1t here forever. The only
body through which this can be done
successfully is the Board of Trade.
In order to get a Greater Perth
Amboy 1t is necessary to make the
public think. Before any great thing
in city. state. nation or the world IT.

$4,000 IN GOODS STOLEN
By ROBBERY; CUT HOLE IN
FLOOR TO GET TO STORE
Store Of the WiIk Company, at
1877 Smith Street, Is Broken
Into By Robbers = Believe
Automobile Was Used 10 Cart
Away Stolen Goods.

A bold robbery in which merchan-
disc valued at between $1,000 and
$4,000 was stolen was perpetrated in
Smith street store late last night or
early this morning. The robbers left
no clue by which they could be iden-
titled and Detective Sergeant Law
renee A. Long, who was detailed to
the case, was at work trying to solve
1t this morning.
The store entered was that of the
Wflk Company, at 1877 Smith street,
of which Paul Rapaport Is the man
ager. The method of entering the
store was similar to that used by
professional thieves in New York and
the other big cities. Entrance could
not very well be made into the store
from the front owing to its location
in the heart of the business section
of the city and the number of people
who are passing at all hours of the
night.
Consequently the BURGERS decided
steel bars over the windows and door
in the rear made this way of entering
almost impossible.
Directly over the store Is an empty
office, with window opening on the
rear of the lot By climbing through
this window, which it is not thought
was locked, the thieves found them.
selves directly over the store.
They then set to work cutting a hole
through the floor in order that they
might drop to the store below. BY
using a saw, brace and bit and tin
shears, they finally made an opening
large enough for one man to slide
down through. Then by using a rope
ladder or even a piece Of rope, one OF
the number dropped into the store
below.
Here he must have made tour o.
investigation and finally selected the
articles which would be of the most
value. Tewnty y-six pieces of merchan-
disc were gathered by him, tied to the
rope and hoisted to the room above.
The thief was then hauled up, the loot
gathered and the party left the same
way they had come.
The robbers took all their tools
with them with the exception of the
shears which Detective Long found
in the room. 1t is the belief OF the
detective that the thieves were in an
automobile which was driven up into
the city's yard in State street direct
ly in back of the store. The articles
were not heavy and could easily be
placed In touring car, he said.
The manner in which the robbery
was conducted gives the appearance
that 1t had been thought out ahead
of time and carried out in O. systema-
tized manner, the men having knowl-
edge of the vacant office directly over
the rear of the store.
According to Detective Long 1t
was the work of men who know their
business and of the type known as a
''borer's job" in New York where
there are many similar robberies
committed. In some cases, he said,
entrance to store or room is gained
by boring hole through the floor
from beneath.
This is one of the largest and bold
est robberies ever pulled off in this
city and the lack OF any clues makes
discovery of the thieves difficult
matter.
