Mother After Ovation
From Hill People.

PAIL MALL, Tenn, May 31.-Sergt.
Alvin C, York. pronounced by Gen.
Pershing as the greatest hero Of the
world war, arrived at his home here
shortly before s o'clock Friday night
and realized what he has declared
since he returned from France was the
greatest desire of HIS heart. the desire
Of again seeing his aged mother.
Delight, admiration and love were
strongly displayed by the aged woman
as she greeted her son, while he whose
GOODNESS under fire has ELECTED en-
thusiastic praise could scarcely control
his emotions.
Sergt. York was met at Crossville
on his arrival there today at 2:l5
O'Clock by a large number Of promi-
nent citizens of Fentress county, who.
Following the welcoming exercises held
at that town, formed an escort Of
honor and accompanied him to his
home here, The trip from Crossville
here, q distance Of about so miles, was
made by automobile, in the car with
Sergt. York being J. Tom Wheeler and
Judge Walt r. Case, of jamestown, the
county seat of Fentress county.
The party left CrossYille about $3.50
and the road leading through a noun
famous country and being exceed
ingly rough, it took more than four
hours to make the trip.
People had gathered at York's home
from miles around to greet him, and
on his arrival he was accorded an en-
thusiaStic reception, York displaying
keen pleasure at being home again
among his friends and n%eighbors and
receiving their plaudits with the same
modesty that he has shown during the
ovations given him in the big cities
he has visited since he returned to
America.
on his arrival at Crossville York was
greeted at the station by about $50
people, many Of the stores and bust
ness houses of the town having been
closed in honor of the occasion. He was
formally welcomed by Il. G.. Toilet,
of CTossyille and former speaker
of the house of representatives of Ten
nessee. York expressed appreciation Of
the welcome given him and said he
was delighted to be back in America.
He said that he had been greeted by
much larger crowds, but he had re-
ceived no welcome that had given him
greater pleasure.
II am certainly a happy kid to be
back among my people in this noun
tain region, where I was born and
raised" he said, "happy that In a few
hours I will be able to see my aged
mother, which l desire more than any
thing else"
