Field kitchens, heavy, snub-noscd
mortars, ambulanccs, anti-aircraft
guns and all the other paraphernalia
of the great fighting machine rumbled
down the avenue, each cog in its own
particular place.
At Twcnty-thrd Street the heavy

pointed. Earlier arrangements, under
which the artillery and other heavy

last night forty-four special trains car

its last trip TO Washington, where all

The mcn who marched in the parade
had the knights of Columbus, the Red
Cross and the War Camp Community

tcrial comforts that were theirs during
the day. All three organizations
worked together to provide the lunches,

who first leaped into fame as the "new
Paul Revere" who rode up Fifth Ave
nue. with a bugle on "Wake Up. Amer
lca," Day, April 19, 1917, and has since
followed the army as a "Y" girl
through the mud Of France and the
Wcll-paved streets of Germany.
New York Best, After All
" have marched in good many
cltles.' she sighed "and must saw
never marched quite so fast before
but | wouldn't have missed this for
anything. 1t was queer and exciting
to march through the French cities
and Alsace-Lorraine Day in the ChamDs
hlYsee was something never to be for
gotten, but New York crowds and New
ork asphalt are good enough for me
for the rest of my life"
Miss Moehlc permitted herself an un
mlNtary giggle as the hosts of stern,
straight young soldiers melted past
under the Arch. and far up the avenue
the khaki masses lit with the gray blue
OF hayonets moved increasingly.
America certainly woke up all
right she pronounced.
1T was regular Old Home Week at
the Arch whore the women stood with

Hey, you violinist, haven't seen
you since Coblenz," called out soldier
from the ranks, spying Miss Elinor
Whittemore, W q member Of tn Overseas
Theatrical Troupe, and Miss White
more sang out a joyous reply.
"This is like being in France
again." she confided. "You know, the
most dreadful thing about coming
home is that tho soldiers arc SO stiff
with us on the streets. Over there,
of course, every American soldier was
delighted to see an American girl in
uniform, and we wero all the best of
friends. 1t hurt our feelings terribly
when we first hit New York, and the
soldiers passed US by without word"
Arch Theatre Of Reception
General McGlachlin, with his arms
full Of American Beauty roses, and
various other mighty porsonages
loaded with souvenirs Of the fete of
flowers and confetti, turned the Arch
into a reception hall, and reunion
of the Coblenz crowd was the order
Of the day. Miss Ely, caught in

compelled to tell the story of how
General McGlachlin had kissed her on

with her decoration.

Women War Workers, Reuy Veterans
Noav, March With Dsrisios,

Fifty young women war workers who
led doughnuts and coffee to the 1st D-
vision in France shared its honors yes
terday. 1t is safe to say that none of
the bronzed heroes, with arms full of
roses and spurs tangled in red paper
streamers, enjoyed the march more
than these smiling veterans II
was the first parade in which the wom
en- have marched with the regiments
with which they served rather than
as q separate unit under the banner of
the organization under which they en-
listed. 1t was a change that pleased
the women, and, next to their member
ship in the American Legion, sets the
seal upon their position as permanent
and necessary part of the A. L. r.
"Tired? l could walk a thousand
miles with those wonderful boys."
cried Miss Gertrude Ely, as she fell out
at Washington Arch and waved a hail
and farewell to her beloved 18th In
fantry as it filed past her into history.
"lt was so splendid of the general to
permit us to march to-day. We never
expected to see the old regiment again,
and here we are actually walking down
our own Fifth Avenue together"
Miss Ely was the first American to
cross the Rhine at Coblenz, an honor
bestowed upon her in recognition of
her constant service with the 1st Dvi-
sion in the field. Another honor that
came to her was Croix dc Guerre. in
appreciation of her work in the "Y''
hut just behind the lines at Scissors.
But evory one of the blue and khaki
clad women marchers yesterday had
special record for faithful service, and
all of them were bnbbling with delight
over the JOY Of tramping five miles in
the heat--a delight which appealed but
scantily to some of the men veterans,
laden down with guns and helmets.
The "Y" girls and Salvation Army las
sizes and X. of c. workers trudged along,
however. brcathless from the effort to
keep in step with their long -striding
masculine comrades, but otherwise per-
fectly happy.
Fifth Avenues the best street in
the world" sighed Miss Jean Moehlc.

parade from the private stand erected
by Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes in
front of st. Patrick's Cathedral. The
Cardinal was as anxious as any small
boy to see the parade and expressed
the wish that his engagements would
allow him to watch the entire division
pass.
When Cardinal MERCER appeared on
the stand he was greeted with an up
roar of cheers. The thousands packed
around the cathedral cheered for sew
eral minutes and the aged prelate
dotted his tri-cornered beaver hat in
acknowledgement. The Stars and Stripes
and the yellow and white colors Of the
Papacy were draped on standards on
each side of the stand. When the
cheering ceased. the Cathedral chime s
played 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner
AS the deep voiced bells thundered
forth the first strains of the national
anthem hundreds of soldiers in the
crowd snapped to attention while all
others stood with barred heads
Before the Cardinal was seated Miss
Helen Mckinley, daughter of William
j. Mckinley, presented d large bouquet
them graciously and, indicating a
cluster of American beauties the girl
held in her arms, inquired:
"And the other flowers, tell me, now,
who are they for"
"They are for General Pershing.
Your Eminence," replied Miss McGin-
ley beautiful" said the prelate.
Cardinal MERCER left the residence
Of Archbishop Hayes accompanied by a
committee Of Baltimoreans which in
cluded Mayor William +. Broening,
Father Louis Stickney, rector of the
Baltimore Cathedral, and c. T. Will
iams. There was an impressive scene
as the prelate walked to the waiting
automobile. Several women pressed
forward to touch his robes and ask his
blessing. Some Of them shouted give
la Belgie! Nive le Cardinal," The
hero o-priest, smiling. bowed and waved
his hand as the machine started for
the Pennsylvania Station.
At the railroad terminal he posed
for the moving picture men and told
the newspaper men of the JOY he felt in
being able to meet so many American
people. He added that he felt rather
tired. Down on the lower level the
Cardinal took much interest in the spe-
cial cars on the Baltimore & Ohio
train which had been reserved for him.
A few minutes before the train de-
parted he walked out on the observa-
ton platform and bowed to the crowd
Railway conductors, station hands, por-
ters, engineers and fremen crowded
around and kissed the archiepiscopal
ring. AS the train moved off the crowd
began to cheer.
'Three cheers for Cardinal Mercier,"

Regrets of "Stay-at- Homes"
A blue-clad canteener with a tray
full of buns and coffee walked oyer to
two of the Salvation Army women
seated on the curb, resting from their
labors.
"You must be hungry" she said, 81
guess the boys will spare you little
lunch after all you gave them"
Then as she waited for her guests to
eat, she voiced the eternal apology of
the woman who had to stay behind.
~ shall never stop mourning that I
couldn't go across when you did," she
said, "it was the greatest experience
of this generation, and to think that l
missed it,"
"You mustn't feel that way" soothed
Staff Captain Beatrice Hammond, "it
Just happened, that some Of us went
and you didn't, but you worked just as
hard as we did, and especially here in
New York you were just as important,
with all the troops coming through here
to the transports"
eve worked all right" groaned the
canteener, rushing off to rescue basket
full of pic from the investigation of a
brisk young Greenwich Village puppy.
