Arrives on Time

Loud changing of bells and long shrieks of whistles announced the ap- proach of the Pershing train shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The arrival at the Santa Fe station was 2 few minutes ahead of the scheduled time, 9:20 o'clock.
 Even before the train had been brought to a stop. Governor Thomas E Campbell and Dr. 4. NJ. Tuthiil. members of the reception committee, climbed aboard the generals private car to officially welcome the distin- guished guests to Arizona and Phoenix.
 And then General John J. Pershing, ranking officer of the American army and commander of all overseas forces in the European wars, appeared, bowed slightly and a broad smile slowly gath cred on his countenance as he gazei upon the admiring thousands.
 The general wore the regular ser vice uniform of a mounted officer and save for the -four silver stars on his shoulder, designating the rank of full general none of the honors and deco rations which have been bestowed upon him by q grateful government and appreciative allies were in evil dence. His leather puttees. likewise his dark brown shoes were highly pol ished and spurs had been furnished until they gistened. A sam Browne belt. which was originally part of the British uniform. offset the severity of the American service tunic. The GUS tomary olive dFab coat, with olive arab corduroy riding brooches and a service cap completed the generals uniform.
