armies Of the United States in France.
Today you return, your mission accom-

banners of the greatest army the ma I.
tion has ever had and with the price
less foundations Of liberty and freedom
saved for us and for the world as the
result Of our participation in the world

THE task entrusted to you required
all the Imagination. all the energy and
all the genius of a great commander.
From the first you had the complete
confidence OF the President and the Sec
retary Of war. This confidence re
manned unshaken to the end.
From the beginning you had all
the support the people of the United
States could give. You and your great
army embodied for them their country
and their country's cause. They work
ed with devotion and self sacrifice tc
sustain and supply you with troops ant
equipment. Their hearts went overseas
with you, and their prayers for your
welfare and that of your men were con
slant.
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
spiration to our national effort.
THE great victories are now on
Your magnificent army has returne,
and the soldiers who once marched
through the 'thickets of the Argonn
are citizens again, filled with higl
memories Of great deeds and carrying
into life the inspiration which member
ship in that great company and sacri
fee for that great cause engenders
Your return closes the history Of tn
American expeditionary force.
THE President had hopes to be her
personally to speak on behalf Of tn
nation word of welcome. In his en-
forced absence he has directed me t
speak it. =;
."rl bid you welcome, gratefully, o
behalf of the country you have serve
and on behalf of the people whose son
you have led. The confidence wit
e which we sent you away you hav
{ sacredly kept. Wherever there is
d soldier or friend of a soldier there
i lover Of liberty; wherever there
e a heart which reJoices at the deliver
Q ance Of mankind from its hour of per
s you and your great army are remem
s bered and loved. You return not onl
a to American soil, but to the heart {

with the spcCia! duty of running down
or driving off Villa. Army officers be-
lieved that the ultimate capture of Villa
was prevented only by recall orders
from Washington.
When Pershing was chosen to com
mand the American forces in France he
took with him many of the Drowned and
hardened veterans Of his Mexican cam
paign, and these men formed the nucleus
of the famous First Division of the
American expeditionary force.
Wife and Children Killed
/ A terrible tragedy had come into
Pershing's life during his Mexican Dor
der service through the loss of his wife
and three of their little children, who
were burned TO death in their home at
the Presidio, in San Francisco, during
| his absence.
! His life became hard and stern: moi
toward his soldiers, however, but il
the regimen he imposed upon himself
and in the objects he had marked for
attainment.
! Pershing believed in teamwork: h,
knew that whatever success the Ger.
mans had attained was through thei
unified command of the armies of tn,
| Central Powers. So he was not onl,
willing. but anxious, to see the sam
principle adopted by the Entente ar
mics. He sank his private ambition an
freely rendered the services of the las
American soldier and all his arm
equipment to General Foch at the mos
critical point in the campaign.
