SERGEANT YORK IS
STILL SEEING SIGHTS

New York. May 26.--Sergeant Alvin
c, York. greatest individual hero of
the war. who when at home is second
elder of a little church in the moan
tains of Tennessee. had the desire of
his heart satisfied today when prosi-
dent Theodore +. Shonts, Of the inter-
borough rapid transit company, took
him for trip through New York y
subway system in his private car Min
cola. Sergeant York, who denies be-
ing hero and claims he simply did
his duty when he slew about a score
of boches and captured thirty machine
guns and 1872 prisoners, WAS eagerly
sought by some society people when
he was dined by the society at tho
Waldorf. They wished to iionise him.
But he ducked the ordeal and was
whirled up to Grants tomb and to the
hall of fame at New York University.
after which he became Mr.. Shonts'
guest for tho rest of the day.
The soldied who kept his head while
facing Germans had no fear of the
subway crush which many fear TO
face. and enjoyed Thoroughly the ride
which was to him a complete novelty
AS he had ducked efforts to honize
him, SO he ducked questions regarding
his personal exploits. His responses
were chiefly as follows;
This is the most beautiful and most
christianized country on earth. The
future of the world will rise out of this
christianized American nation"
