Welcome and Praise Roared
 From Thousands Of Throats
 As Conquerer Of Huns Arriues
American Doughboy Finest Soldier in the World, and Germans Soon Found It Out, Declares Pershing to Newspaper Men
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
 New York, September 8.
 "The American doughboy is
 the finest soldier in the world, | and it didn't take the Germans
 long to find it out" declared
 General Pershing, in an inter-
 view granted newspaper men
 today at the Waldorf-Astoria We boasted a little, probably. of the peculiar qualities of the American fight ing man. but his aggressiveness, initiative
 and devotion as member of the Amer
 ican expeditionary forces gives us every right to boast and be proud of him." the
 commander said { q suppose it is because of the way the
 American boy is raised. due to the fact that he is encouraged to develop his in- itiative and that he feels at any crisis
 of his life that 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 leaguo of nations, the situation in Europe and in Mexico, what he intended doing when he entered civil life and sim
 liar questions, was preceded by general General Pershing that all such topics were taboo.
 The question was asked General, what do you consider the crowning achievement of your service abroad?' to which he replied: Cutting the German lines at Sedan on November e.
 Was that more difficult operation than cutting the Hindenberg liner he was asked
 Cutting the Hindenburg line was a start toward cutting the lines at Sedan. It was hard to tell what might have be- come of it under different circumstances. It followed the final effort of the Ger
 mans to force their way through, but l their armies were beaten before they started"
 General, will you say few words about Marshal Foch?" Marshal F'och, he replied appre- ciatively, Ifs a very great strategist A question was asked as to his inn pressions upon his departure for France 3T months ago and his return, to which
 he replied:
 When we left the day was foggy. We could not see the Statue of Liberty.
 There was no bells ringing, no whis-
 ties except for horns blowing. and
 no ships gayly dressed. Why, there is
 as much difference, between our de-
 parture and home coming as between
 midnight and monday" Before the general stipulated the kind
 of questions he would answer, some one ask ed:
 What do you think of the European crisis?' to which he responded: 'I don't think we had better get into European affairs at all" As to affairs in Mexico, General Per shing declined to talk. saying he was too busy overseas to read about 1t. In conclusion he was asked whether he purposed appearing before the House
 military affairs committee, in answer to which he asid he had not been in- vited He said he would go to Wash ington after the parade of the First division here next Wednesday, after which he intended starting for LaClede, Mo, his boyhood home.
