When the General stepped ashore on
Manhattan Island yesterday and climbed
aboard a waiting automobile there sat
at the wheel a stalwart young sergeant
OF the American Expeditionary Force
who had been in France since August,
1917, having gone over with the Tenth
Engineers, one OF the first regiments to
get across. This soldier was George p.
Eller, whose homo is with his parents at
1898 Bathgate avenue, The Bronx.
Eller got to France about the time that
Capt Eddie Rickenbacier, America s
premier flying ace. was quitting the Job
OF chauffeur to Gen. Pershing to get into
the thrilling Job OF downing German
fliers Rickenbacker. formerly one of
this country's automobile speed kings,
bad been 81 good chauffeur, 50 much so
that Gen. Pershlng caused a competitive
examination to be held to make certain
that his successor would be just about
the best automobile driver the American
forces had in France. Eller won the job
and for two years has been whirling the
American commander over a good part
Of Europe.
The chauffeur came home with his
BOSS and drove him to City Hall yes
terday, and from there TO the Waldorf
Astoria There Gen. Pershing looked
Eller over, gave him three full days OF.
told him he could watch the First Dr.
Visions parade from q grand stand seat

into the soldiers hand It was a cign-
rette case bearing this inscription: ITO

Eller got homo late IN the afternoon
and hundreds of his friends went to call
on him. Every one who went got a
cigarette from the new case. Among
them was Ellers brother, Policeman
