Becomes Guest of City.
Moving then between the lines OF SOL
diers and Hoboken war workers., Gen.
Pershing boarded the Patrol and became
the guest OF New York city. He mounted
TO the upper deck. Secretary Baker,
Mr.. McAdoo, Champ Clark and other
national figures were there, but 1t hap
pened that as Gen. Pershing took his
position beside the mainmast on the
upper deck whose cherubic face should
bloom beside him but that Of John H.
McCooncy. leader OF Brooklyn's regular
Democracy.
At attention stood row after row Of
eager faced young women at the edge
OF the basin, but military etiquette did
not prevent some of them from throwing
kisses at the General as the Patrol
edged away. He did not return them,
but laughed. The Street Cleaning De-
partment Band on the Patrol had a high
old time. with "Johnny's in Town
Again" and other appealing airs. Its
Home, Sweet Home" caused the hands
OF the object of all these attentions to
grip the rail hard. On the storm deck
Warren Pershing was saying he had
enough OF having his picture taken for
one day. The scene and sounds on the
way over to Manhattan were repeti-
lions of the earlier demonstration, only
more so. Eventually Secretary Baker
and then Gen. March succeeded Mr.. Nc
Cooey at the mainmast beside Gen. Per-
shing
The Fire Department Band was
awaiting at the Battery outside Pier A.
where the Patrol locked. Also seventy
automobiles. many of them driven by
members OF the National League for
Women's Service or of the women's po-
lice reserve. Except Tor the space
cleared for the machines, there was no
untenanted spot at the Battery.
Gen. Pershing disembarked with Rod
man Wanamaker at his side. They were
fairly blown of their feet by the aib-
oub. The Generals hand came to salute
and stayed there through most OF tho
Jaunt to City Hall. The paper storm
began on time, about opposite the STAN
'dard Oil Building. Ticker tape spiralled
down on the Generals car. which was
all fussy with flags and ribbons and
also carried a small silk flag, red with
four white stars, indicating the rank of
the occupant. Gen. Pershing sat with
Mr. Wanamaker. On the front seat was
the Generals aid. Col. John K Queke-
meyer Just behind them were Score
tary and Mrs. Baker and Grover whelan.
the dozen rode ahead. The pace was
that Of the Firemen's Band. which was
afoot.
Cheers rolled from the Battery north
ward. getting louder every instant. They
rippled ahead of the Generals car and
were at high tide wherever his car was.
Somewhere behind Warren Pershing and
his aunts were obscured. The lady In
blue who drove their car beckoned >
police captain to her side as she moved
along.
These are Gen. Pershing's sisters"
she said. This Is his son. Don't YOU
think-?"
Sorry. but I'm only regulating .raf-
hc," said the captain.
7 Fair Chauffeur Gets Place.
\ But presently the lady in blue cut
out of the line, streaked along the side
OF the procession and shot in again rot
far behind the General, where her car
belonged.
At the Battery and Bowling Green
the decorations visible were mostly HUI
mans. Further north they were both
humans and flags. Lower Broadway
needed .the Mayors request for plenty
,os flags pretty we'll It more than fu'-
FILED expectations as to the employ
nent of lung power. Nobody in the
long line of guests this city has played
host to has ever been hailed more yo
ciferously than was the Commander in
Chief of the 4. e. r u was simply
al tempest of sound. The street had
Just enough cleared space to let the
procession through. Every window
ledge, window and roof was iammed.
Everybody Of these hundreds OF thou
sands was shouting as with one voice.
The air was clouded with confetti and
scraps of office paper. making the pave
inent ankle deep with paper in no rms.
Street cleaners marched along behind
and cleared it all up in less than ms II
on hour--tns being an added feature of
me parade. Two daredevil avialors
SKINNED the roofs and seemed in dam
ger Of being impaled on Manhattan's
turrets.
Saluting was not enough. Gen.
Penshing had to stand up in his car,
take of his cap and bow this way and
that. 1t was noticed that most men
along the curb barred their own heads
as the General went by.
Trinity Church displayed flags of all
the Allies in addition to the contribution
from Its chimes.
The procession turned up Park Row
