Pen'shingg 2 Gets Tribute

Pershing's Horse Gets
Tangled in Red Tape

E'HE success of to-day's parade
Il may depend in no small degree
upon David f. Houston, Secretary of
Agriculture. Here's why:
Kedron is sorrel thoroughbred
mare, the pride of the Saumur Cav
airy School, where the French gov
ernment breeds its crack military
mounts. AS an evidence of its ap-
probation of the American COM
manders services to France, the
French government presented Ke-
dron to General Pershing, and the
horse was shipped to the United
States so that the general could ride
it down Fifth Avenue to-day.
1t reached Newport News three
days ago; it was due in New York
Monday. Yesterday it hadn't ar
rived, and investigation brought the
explanation that, according to the
rules Of the Department of Agri-
culture, the horse was in quarantine
at Newport News, where it would
have to remain ten days. Secretary
Houston was appealed to by tele-
phone. Last night nothing had been
heard about the horses departure for
New York.
Members of Virginia post of the
American Legion yesterday pre-
sented General Pershing with an
other sorrel mare of perfect pedi-
gree. The general may ride the Vir-
ginia entry to-day if Kedron has TO
be scratched.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-10

witness this beautiful ceremony. 1t is
upon you that We must depend in the
future 10 carry out the principles OF
our forefathers and to defend our flag,
which we all love so we'll feel sure
goa understand the principles for
which the war has been fought, and
join with me in congratulating America
on its successful conclusion
~ am sure the patriotism of you
school children was not only appre-
clated by the grown-ups in America, but
also by the boys who carried muskets
IN the front lines. | wish to thank you
and wish that every man who was in
Europe could be here to see you"
The general stood at attention while
the children sang America" and then
listened laughing for a few moments
while they gave him a song all for him
self. 1t went to the refrain of The
Battle Hymn Of the Republic":
"Hurrah. Hurrah! for General Pershing.
AS ne COMES marching home"
He was in fine spirits as ne turned to
leave, the air ringing now with cheers
OF "Welcome home. Welcome home"
Military dignity was thrown to the
winds that carried the cheers away,
and the guests on the platform crowded
his pathway, shaking his hand and
shouting greetings into his smiling
face. Boy Scout standing guard at
the stairs thrust out brown fist and
the general seized il heartily.
"Howdy, Scout. Glad to see you." he

available for service. Governor Coolidge
instructed one hundred metropolitan
park policemen to report for duty in
the city. State police officers were de-
tailed to keep a sharp watch for
criminals who might attempt to take
advantage of the situation to enter the
city.
Banks Organize Guards
Banks and large business houses
have organized guards from among
their employees, many of whom arc re-
turned service men. These guards have
been made special policemen and armed.
Federal authorities have taken pre-
cautions for the guarding of all gov
crnmcnt property.
There are .544 patrolmen, including
special officers, in the police depart
ment. The announcement of the union
strike vote showed that 1876 men had
participated in the balloting, and union
leaders claimed a still larger member
ship. The nincty-siX captains, inspec-
tors, lieutenants and sergeants are not
affected by The strike.
President Lowell, of Harvard Uni
versity, when notified that the strike
was impending, issued an appeal to all
students "to prepare themselves for
such service as the Governor may call
upon them to render" An emergency
committee, headed by Dean Greenough,
was organized late to-day and began
the enrolling of volunteers.
The immediate cause of the strike is
the refusal of Commiss soner Curtis to
sanction the patrolmen's union because
of its affliation with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. Before its formation
he had issued an order that the patrol
men should not become affiliated with
any outside organization. Charges of
having violated this order were brought
against nineteen officers and members
of the union.
The Commissioner announced yester-
day that these men had been found
guilty and would be suspended until
such time as he should impose sentence
upon them. The union voted last night,
1,l34 to 2, to call the strike tonight.

Generals Only Public APP
pearancc of Day Is to
Talk to Youngsters

II was a smiling, mischievous Cen
eral Pershing who leaned far out over
the bandstand and railing and threw
kisses into the rapturous faces of the
schoolgirls gathered to welcome him
in Central Park yesterday afternoon.
The stern disciplinarian, the reticent
commander Of armies, vanished be-
fore the waving of fifty thousand tiny
American flags and the lusty cheers
Of the leather -lungcd schoolboys, and
Pershing became for five minutes a
laughing, hat-swinging, handwriting
hero, just the kind of hero for young
ters to remember with a warm glow
in their hearts all the rest of their
lives.
Eyes Belle Sternness
There was a mischievous twinkle in
the generals eye, and if he were an
imaginative man instead of a grim
soldier one could imagine that he had
done it on purpose this fixing of his
eyes deliberately on one little face
and sending the historic kiss straight
to it's excited owner, then turning to
the other side of the platform, sur
verying the field Of flags and shining
eyes, and finally, after obvious delib-
Grafton, picking out another little rosy
face to salute. Fortunately, every
little girl for dozens around can claim
the honor without fear of successful
contradiction, and General Pershing
wouldn't tell if he could who his ia
vorites were.
For the boys the general mad fine
stiff salute at tirst-only at frst-for
the exuberance Of that crowd was con-
tagious, and long before he had passed
up the flaglined lane to the grand
stand in the centre of the sheep
meadow, Pershing had abandoned the
salute for a vigorous waving Of his
cap. and broad smile held his mouth
open, showing his white teeth and the
two deep dimples in his checks.
Pershing Kisses Flag
The only really serious moment came
when the children finished the recita-
tion of the pledge OF loyalty to the
flag. General Pershing listened TO the
chorus of New York's children with
the mingled accent of Italian, Russian
Polish, Irish and all the other national
tiles which send their children to be
trained to American citizenship III the
great schools of this city. and as ne
listened his lips frightened while his
eyes grew soft, and he bent over and
kissed the flag which stood beside him;
And when he spoke. it was to tell
the children OF their duty to that flag.
"School children of the city CT New
York" he began. Then the chorus Of
shouts rose again. The general stood
silent, fixing the exuberant thousands
with the eye of a stern but inwardly
amused school teacher, and the chill
dren. from force of habit, wilted under
the pedagoglc glance, and gradually
grew silent, so that the general could
make himself heard.

Nlerciier, Hero
OF Belgium, ,
Arrives Here
Prelate Who Played Such
q Striking Part in War
Is Greeted by City
Officials and Clergy

Cardinal Desire MERCER arrived in
America yesterday on his promised
mission of gratitude. The tall, gaunt
"prince of sorrows" brings to the
United States the thanks of the little
country in whose tragic history he has
played so heroic q part.
The day was fading when the trans
port Northern Pacific bearing the dis
tinguished visitor, appeared through
the haze of the lower bay. Long be-
fore the vessel reached its Hoboken
dock the tall, dark figure of the Car
dinal could be seen in contrast to the
khaki-clad soldiers who surrounded
him. A great cheer went up from those
on the pier, and Cardinal Mercicr took
Oft his tri-cornered beaver hat and
bowed in acknowledgements The return
ing soldiers roared three cheers for the
hero of Belgium as the transport was
on American soil for the first time the
prelatc was asked for message to
the American people.
Can Only Say THANK You"
81 can only say thank you," he an
swered, his voice trembling with emo
ton. "What else is there for me to
say"
Cardinal Mercier speaks English with
q soft musical accent. There is little
in his appearance that would mark
him as one who played SO striking a
part in the great war. He is thin and
his tall form is slightly bent, as if by
the great burden he bore during the
10 i, L
were at the mercy Of the Germans
His fine, heavily lined face reveals
nothing but gentleness and kindness
but his deep brown eyes, pcellng from
under strong, heavy eyebrows, tell
much Of his spirit.
The Mayors Committee to Receive
Distinguished Guests, headed by Rodman
Wanamaker, went down the bay on the
Patrol to meet the Northern Pacific
Archbishop Patrick j. Hayes, titula,
head Of the Archdiocese of New York
and number Of distinguished priests
from all parts Of the country were or
the Patrol. The reception vessel me,
the transport in the Narrows and the
flashed by Archbishop Hayes and Mayor
1Iylan.
Archbishop's Greeting
Archblshop Hayes, standing on the
t'iGge Of the Patrol as it ran alongside
Tie Northern Pacific, shouted to the
Cardinal, who was on the main deck
surrounded by soldiers:
Your Eminence, you are welcome tc
America and very welcome to New
York"
Cardinal Mercier replied:
Il am happy to come and very GLAD
to be here"
Then the Knights of Columbus boat
n. S. Lockwood. ran alongside the
transport and score of secretaries
started throwing cigarettes and candies
to the returning soldiers. Cardinal
Mercier seemed much amused at this,
and leaned over the rail to better watch
the troops catch the packages.
When the Northern Pacific reached
her pier Mayor Hylan, with the mem.
bers of his committee and the clergy
went up the gangplank to greet the
churchman The greeting took place in
the smoking room. AS each of the re.
ception committee was introduced he
