were made for the parade Wednesday.

The question was asked: General
what do you consider the crowning
achievement Of your service abroad?"
to which he replied:
Cutting the Hindenburg line was
4 start toward cutting the line at Sc
dan. 1t YVES hard to tell what might
have become Of it under different cir

through but their armies were beaten
before they started"
General, Will you say q few words
about Marshal Foch?"
Marshal Foch," he replied appre-
ciatively. "is very great strategist." "
A question was asked as to his i'm

We could not see the Statue of Lib
erty. There were no bells ringing, no

and no ships gayly dressed. Why,
there was as much difference between
our departure and homecoming as be-
tween midnight and nconday.

side some kind of welcome upon our
return home, but nothing I thought
then could equal my imprcssicn5 TO-

sentiments, but 1 suppose it's the way
New York always does things"
