is the author of THE Life of
Madame ADAM" which E. P. Dut-

On the day when General Perish

Fifth avenue between thousands of
his cheering countrymen he re-
ceived, as a tribute from the car

Edwin Marcus cartoonist of the
New York Times, and carried on its
fy-leaf the autographs of nearly a
dozen of the most prominent car
toonists in the United States. Ac-
companying the book, which pre-
sents a history of the war in 100
cartoons by 81 American cartoon
lists compiled and edited by George
]. Hecht, was a letter in which Mr..
Marcus, ION behalf of the cartoon
lists of America" presented the vol
ume "as humble token of our sin
cere appreciation of the splendid
service you rendered the United
States and the world at large" and
added that THE letter which you
wrote to the cartoonists, which was
published by the Bureau of Car.
toons in their Bulletin for Cartoon
ists,' was a great source of inspir.
alton to us. We are very much
flattered that you think our worl
was one of the most important fac.
tors in forming that resolute public
opinion which was so essential tC
the winning of the war. The Gov.
ernment can always count on ouI
cartoons to aid any patriotic move
ment." General Pershing expressed
through a member of his staff hi
thanks and appreciation. The in
cident was chronicled on the frs
pages of the evening papers of New
York on the day of the parade anS
by the morning papers of the mex
day. Mr.. Hecht, editor and compiler
