Sergt. York Places
New York at
Top of List

NEW YORK, May 24.-Tennesset
mountaineer though he is, Sergeant
Alvin c. York, American hero of the
Argonne, was completely at home
among the hundreds of Tennesseans
and prominent guests at the banquet
to the Pail Mall elder in the Wal
dorf-Astoria last night.
Seated Between General Duncan
of the 82nd division and Admiral
Gleaves, chief of the transport dur
ing the war, Sergeant York was per-
fectly at ease. He had spend a busy
day seeing New York and having an
aching tooth attended by a dentist,
but he took keen delight in the tes-
timonial dinner.
His reply to the toastmaster when
called upon to speak impressed his
hearers as nothing else has since his
return from the field of honor in
France. A brilliant speech was not
expected of the soldier backwoods-
man, and indeed his hearers did not
know just what to expect from Ser
geant York. He was perfectly at
ease whe nhe arose, and his entire
bearing under the circumstances
greatly impressed the gathering. He
made no pretense of Disgusting the
fact that he was not an after dinner
speaker.
II am not speaker" he said, "and
| know you all don't expect a speech
from me. | only wish | could tell
you just how l feel and what is in me
that / can't express. But / want you
to know that | greatly appreciate
what you have done for me and the
kindness you have shown me since |
came back, Everything has been
fine. | thank YOU"
After a sightseeing tour around
the city during the day Sergeant York
put New York first, London second
and Paris third. Sergeant York's
,ooth started aching when he left the
transport Ohioian the day he landed.
An army dentist filling in one of his
,eeth came out. Between that tooth
and the unaccustomed feel of a real
bed after fourteen months of army
ife, he frankly said he did not have
| good time that first night in New

Sergeant York lunched in a res
aurant in the Whitehall building
overlooking the bay. When he ap-
feared in the visitors gallery at the
lew York stock exchange some one
N the floor recognized him.
"There's Sergeant York." the cry
vent up"
An almost unprecedented scene
or the stock exchange followed when
he freckled hero was brought down
pon the floor where outsiders are
arely allowed. Gray haired brokers'
nd messenger boys joined in a din of
heers, whistles and whoops, and
ought to shake his hand.
At the Woolworth building he was
