was the nObIest figure amid the vast thrOngs that
greeted him, filling the streets of our city, where
hundreds of thousands were in sight at many points
of the route and places where he spoke, eager to do
him honor.
His poise was magnificent. It was evident not only IT,; to
but to the people at large, that General Pershing was not only
capable, but masterful and perfectly able to command even
difficult situations in the various functions that Tell o MS
doing in the two brief hours that he spent in the city.
His keen eyes measured accurately each of the situations
in which he was placed.
ing, beginning with the sentence, This is holy ground" were
fttingly chosen and most impressive.
His quick eye and resolute command. when he stepped
to the front in independence Square and ordered back the
people that were crowding hard upon the women in front OF
them, met with instant obedience.
General Pershing is a commander and
evidently knows what to do in emergencies.
General Pershing would not waste any
time with inefficient people.
General Pershing sees little things to do
and does them quickly.
1t was a most gracious and proper thing to do-the little
s sfte OF a stsotssN tho i beautifu1 blue %s and gold flag msc of tn the City
Arms, the gift of the Commercial Institute of this Store, and

of Philadelphia.wi never be forgotten: There h, has been been
nothing like it in our lifetime since Grant came back from
his trip around the world.
The young fellows of our military organization and the
young ladies in the wOmens regiment, and the trumpeters,
and the members of the military band, surely VIII not forget
the broad-shouldered, clear'eyed, great soldier, who stopped
over them, recognizing their young citizenship and giving them
good cheer with a smile and a touch of his hand.
General Pershing must come back again and give
us more time, when we will see that Philadelphia, big
as it is, can give him a bigger welcome and more
c~ourtesies than could be crowded into the brief visit
of yesterday.
General Pershing, come back again!

 We are stationed inside an Amer ican camp in huge old French cav airy barracks. We are doing clerical work with hundreds and hundreds of Americans in the Central Records of flee. We deal With the whole Amer ican Army records, and, excepting the cooks, Waitresses, ct cetera, all we odd 400 girls are really the 'Waacs' of the American Expeditionary Forces

And now we are getting up a grand revue called the Battle of BOurgas.' I am to be a French girl. The chorus is one of the best and the music truly American.

GIimpSes of the underworld, always interesting, arc far from rare in either the spoken or the film drama.

 his God his church and the justice of mankind. He runs away and plays the game of life alone against world of men. Although a gambler, his own standards of right and wrong are rigid and firm so that he is feared by all for his strength and power, but loved for all his fairness and square ness. Stalking lis Life' is won derfully tense drama, a characteriza- ! ton of Western life that has never before been so fOrcefully portrayed. The vaudeville program will be headed by Sam Curtis & Co.,, in an uproarious comedy act. sam Curtis is 3O0-pound comedian and known wherever vaudeville is known.
