but Mrs. Wilson did not appear to
take kindly to the early morning
photographing.
wont you please have Mrs. Will
son turn this way so we may take
her photograph" importuned one
of the photographers.
II have nothing to do with her
in that matter" replied the presi-
dent, smiling again.
Mrs. Wilson, however. would not
accede to the request.
Red Cross Represented.
Women of the Red Cross Motor
corps drove seven Of the official
automobiles.
The first demonstration along the
automobile route occurred at the
Farnam school, Twenty-eighth and
Farnam streets, where the children
were grouped effectively with flags.
These little folks gave three cheers
for the president and the lady of the
White House. Near the school
group of workmen, digging
trench, stopped to greet the party.
Children of Columbian school
were assembled along Thirty-eighth
street by their teachers, and the
children of Field, Windsor and Ma
son schools were grouped at points
near their schools. Other children
in groups here and there
along the way.
Firemen Raise Flag.
The pupils of St. Peters school
on Leavenworth street were massed
in front of the school and the fire
men of nearby engine house raised
a flag for these children as the pres
ident passed by.
Street car service was stopped
along streets of the presidents au-
tomobile ride.
The presidents special train came
to Omaha from Des Moines, leaving
the Iowa capital at midnight. The
plan was to bring the train
direct to Omaha, but the party was
held at Underwood, Ia, during the
early hours yesterday, reaching
Council B1r'ffs about $50 a. M, and
Omaha a few minutes before 9.
President Wilson took leave of
Omaha at II, when his train moved
out of Union station, with the presi-

Doughboy Finest
Soldier in World
Pershing Declares

New York, Sept. 8.-(By the AS
sociated Press. )-"The American
'doughboy' is the finest soldier in
the world, and it didn't take the Ger
mans long to find it out" declared
General Pershing, in an interview
granted newspaper men today, fol-
lowing his arrival from overseas.
1--WE boosted little, probably, of
the peculiar qualities of the Ameri-
can fighting man, but his agrees
siveness, initiative and devotion as a
member of the American expedition
ary forces give US every right to
boast and to be proud of him." the
commander said.
~ suppose it is because Of the
way the American boy is reared, due
to the fact that he is encouraged to
develop his initiative and that he
feels that in any crisis of his life he
is master of his own destiny"
The interview, brought about in
the hope that the general might be
willing to express his views upon
such subjects as the league of ma
tons, the situation in Europe and in
Mexico, what he intended doing
when he entered civil life, when he
expected to retire from the army,
and similar questions, was preceded
by general handshaking and a
remark by General Pershing that all
such topics were taboo"
Pleasant Duty, but Strenuous.
II am still on duty" he said. "It
is pleasant duty, but very strenu-
GUS" The general had just finished
luncheon after little rest to re-
fresh himself after the arduous
hours of the morning.
General, what do you consider
the browning achievement of your
service abroad?" he was asked.
Cutting the German lines at
Sedan on November g."
"Was that more difficult opera
ton than cutting the Hindenburg
line?"
Cutting the Hindenburg line was
a start toward cutting the line at
Sedan. 1t was hard to tell what
might have become of it under diff
ferent circumstances. 1t followed
the final effort of the Germans to
force their way through, but their
armies were beaten before they
started"
General, will you say few words
about Marshal FochF'
Marshal Foch," he replied ap-
preciatively, "is very great strate
gist."

Plans for Reception
OfU.S. Senator Borah
Are Nearly Completed

Plans are materializing rapidly for
the reception and entertainment OF
United States Senator Borah in
Omaha next Friday.
A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Omaha branch of the
League for the Preservation OF
American independence was held at
noon yesterday at the Chamber OF
Commerce. E. A. Benson, president
of the Omaha branch, reported that
many kilograms and telephone calls
have already come from towns and
cities within radius of 800 miles
of Omaha, asking for reservations
for individuals and parties who will
make the TRIP to hear the distin-
guished senator and orator tell of
the menace to this country of the
covenant of the league of nations
unless revisions are made to safe
guard the sovereignty of the United
States in it's own affairs.
"a vast amount of work must be
done in a few days to arrange for
this meeting" said Mr.. Benson.
Senator Borah was invited to come
to Omaha more than a month ago.
He is not trailing President Wilson,
but is merely telling the people what
they have a right to know regarding
the league of nations"
Special sections of the Auditorium
will be reserved for the Grand Army
of the Republic and for the Ameri-
can Legion.
Senator Borah will be in Chicago
Wednesday and fuller details of his
visit to Omaha will be received
then.

ment with an injunction to keep it
safe. The sergeant" kept it safely
all right. but later on, i'll the great
crowd at the city hall, he got sepa-
rated from his father, much to the
dismay of the general. When the
boy was recovered his father asked
anxiously:
Warren, have you got the COM
mission?"
"Yes, sir" replied the Sergeant
promptly.
"Well, see that you hold onto it."
The army and officialdom did not

preliminary reception at Hoboken.

commander of the cruiser and trans
port service.
But it was reserved to New York
to begin the real ovation to the re-
turning hero. For hours before the
arrival of the general "the Battery"
was thronged with patient thousands
who stood in serried ranks, silently
waiting. AS the little boat with its
distinguished party steamed up to
the pier an uproar began such as
Manhattan probably never had heard
before. From a thousand factories
and vessels steam sirens shrieked
out a raucous welcome, but vainly
tried to drown the roar of cheers
which rose and fell and rose again.
overhead airplanes dipped and cir
cled, but the drone of their engines
was scarcely audible and the most
valiant efforts of the fire depart
ment's band served only to give the
impression of number of men who
were silently trying to blow them
selves up after the manner of the
frog in the fable.
At first General Pershing seemed
to be suffering more from embar-
rassment than any other emotion.
He walked swiftly from the landing
stage to his gaily decorated automo-

Careless Shampooing
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your mar
looking its best. Most soaps ana
prepared shampoos contain too mucn
alkali. This dries the scalp. makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cotoanut oil shampoo,
(Which is pure and greaseless)' ana
is better than anything else you
can use. -,
One or two teaspoonfuls VIII
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the halr
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather'
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The han! II
dries quickly and evenly, and 1t
leaves the scalp soft, and the halr
fine and silky, bright. lustrous'
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, IT'S
very cheap, and few ounces VIII
supply every member of the family
for months.

Turn Out Enmasse to

BY EDWARD BLACK.

President Wilson, Mrs. Wilson
and party arrived at the Union
station promptly at 9 yesterday
morning, and the Omaha pro-
gram was carried out to the
letter, without accident or unusu-
al incident.
The demonstration along the
route of the automobile ride fell far
short of expectations of those who
are able to estimate such occasions.
Thousands of people gathered along
the route, some to see the president,
some to see Mrs. Wilson, and some
to see both. The reception accorded
the president suffered by COMPARE
son with his visit here in 1916, and
fell short of any previous visit OF
a president.
No Great Outburst.
There was no great outburst Of
enthusiasm along the way. The fed
eral building, usually crowded on
such occasions. was the scene of
a mere group of spectators.

other reason, there was a conspicu-

seat like man who has an impor-

get it over with as quickly as pos
sible. But as the long procession
of cars started up Broadway he was
engulfed in flood of enthusiasm be-
fore which no man could have re-
manned unmoved
New York's financial district was
a bedlam of noise and riot of color.
Every window in the huge skyscrap-
ers was packed and even the cloud
piercing roofs had their quotas.
From there a storm of many-colored
confetti descended upon the surg
ing crowds beneath The mists had
disappeared with the mounting sun
and the brilliance of the scene was
enhanced by streamers of red, white
and blue ribbons which were shot
through the air from hundreds of

Given Sound Kiss.
The enthusiasm of tn spectators
found vent in one unrehearsed Incl
dent which was received by Gen.
Pershing with apparently mingled
feelings. AS he entered the city
hall flanked by Gov. Smith and
Mayor Hylan, a woman burst past
the police guards and implanted
sound kiss on his cheek. Another
woman, stirred by emulation, at
tempted to repeat the feat but he
raised his hand in supplication: ooh,
madam" he said, please don't. Not
that"
The ceremony at the city hall,
where Gen. Pershing was officially
welcomed to New York, was brief.
After the mayor had delivered his
address of welcome and the general
had made a short reply, the party
emerged again and the procession
was resumed.
As the procession advanced up
town, steam sirens blew, but at
steel foundry two husky former
"dough-boys." whose somewhat
grimy khaki trousers explained how
they had beaten their swords into
pruning hooks, proved that the
American soldier has not an unjust
reputation for ingenuity. They had
erected an enormous piece of sheet

hammers made racket which SEEM
