had ever seen, according to veteran ob
servers. It was exactly 1 o'clock when Brlg.
Oen. H. Wlttenmyer. acting division
commander for the day, and his staff
marched south on Lexington avenue frorr
the Sixty-ninth armory. He was im
mediately followed by the 302d Engi

Col. William R. Smedberg, Jr., compris

wJ)at a )narfh ,t WM. To huhdfed, of
tho U03-S In 'line it was a real marching
home and so It was that thousands of
windows In tenements were thrown open
and names called by eager, high pitched
voices that dared to beg for so little a
thing as u glance of recognition. And
theio was a pride here that possibly
en went deeper Into human hearts
than the prides of the great Fifth avenue
throng for tho soldier boys from these
nt hlh windows knew this. No loneer
did they hate the army and fear the
wnr-thev'tno had seen Its magic.
Ten inli utcs after 1 o'clock, on the
second Hi t the schedule called, the
1,14th lnfnnrv Brigade, under command
of Col. Isaao Erwln, left the Scventv-flrtt

and this was a home coming. And here
more than one mother saw through a

less, undeveloped 'boy that had gone
away to the war only a few months be
fore. And there was something other
than pride in the hearts of these Eighth
avenue mothers yesterday there was a
dep thanksgiving and a new born real
ization that military training and the
army makes far more men than war
takes.
Hot Coffee Cheers Soldiers.
Arriving at the junction of Fifth ave
nue and Fifty-seventh street, where
there was a short wait while tho first
section led the way down the avenue,
the 164th Brigade was served steaming
hot coffee by H. L. Crawford, cousin of
Col. Cornelius Vanderbllt and father of
a Soldier of the Third Machine Gun Com
pany ot New Jersey troops. Numerous
assistants hustled among the boys with
great buckets of coffee end stacks of
paper cups, so that to every man there
was given a hot bracer for the final
spurt down the avenue. At the same
time boxes of cigars and cigarettes were
being passed out to the boys.
With the 153d Brigade leading the
way down Fifth avenue, the 154th awung

In tho line ot march down Fifth ave

Battery A of the 305th Field Artillery,
tinder command of Cap. Anderson
Dana. Tho battery's march from the

Ten thousand men were ahead, with
a half dozen great silk American flags
proudly borne by color guards and
saluted with ,a thrill by the millions
who crowded the walks. And behind
all of them rolled this grim reminder
that behind America stand the valiant
British, the courageous French and the
unbeaten Italians.
The men In uniforms and tho.e In
high silk hats up in tho reviewing stand
felt this same sentiment, and so more ,

soldier.
"I am very much pleased with the
splendid showing made by the men of
tho National Army," Secretary of the
Navy Daniels said very proudly. "It
gives me pleasure to have the honor of

all. for everybody and his girl.
The flags of America and her allies,
which were strewn from one entrance to
the other, waved for everybody, and the
blinking Incandescent flag under the
main approach to the floor welcomed one
and all alike. The floor was comforta
bly large, being almost the size of a city
block, but a smaller dancing place would
have crowded these 4,000 or more wear
ers of uniform and their companions.
The ball was a benefit for the Cam)
Upton Community Hall, and the tickets
mostly were twld at camp. Many of
Upton's population who danced last
night had been In the parade earlier In
the day, and many more who had not
marched got leavo to come to town for
the evening. Sprinkled among the
khaki outfits also were uniforms of blue,
of officers and men of , the navy. Com

and fttc following

No hotel got a particularly large
crowd of the boys, through the distri
bution arrangoment effected days before
the great parade, but any one of them
would have moved out Its potted green
house collection, or hav converted a
ballroom into a temporary barracks If
such violent measure hail been neces
sary to house the visitors.
That there were no moro than 200
and there were score or vo of late
applicants for rwtcl accommodations
was due to the fact that the metro
politan division Is a home town organ
ization, and for practically everv man
In the 10,000 there .was a little (fat, or
a big town house, full of relative, and
lights burning to welcome him for the
brief stay. The homeless 200, there
fore, were up against It to provide
themselves with barracks for the night.
In order to prevent a good soldier from
wasting a considerable amount of good
pay, and more actually to save him from
the .Impression .that Manhattan Is an
ungrateful section, hotel managers were
called Into conference and Issued the
following decree .
"I'ortcrs and boll hops, and clerl6.

There wasn't any mutniur heard

So when Corporal Mike and Kienchy
and Ited Guffy and George, the mess
bcrgeant, came lolling through the hos
telry pier glass turnstiles, there was a
line of hotel eloyenw reaching from door
to desk and from desk to elevator, and
all the way to the roonm the manage
ment had provided for them.
"Gee! Ain't It soft thl army life I"
grinned French-, to his quartet of pals
from camp. "For tho first time Intlnee
weeks I get a soft bed and a six course
combination of caviar and split rock to
feed on. And we don't have to pay for
nothln' ! Gee! I guess these folks don't
appreciate us fellahs whatj''
It was Just like that' for ever' one
of those 200 homeless figlitors of the
metropolitan division when they got
through with their parade stunt. If
they never thought of New York as
homy town before they had It impresse,
on them Initially and indelibly. It was
a great good thing for these men to get

off their wet feet and stick those same

Free dinner and lots of it, in a big
shining dining room, and themselves the
centre of attention, and nothing to do but
gorge and tell the waiter to bring In a
little more of that fine chicken ! A hey
day that a soldier can very much appre
ciate. Some there may have been who
really do live In Manhattan, and have
homo folks to stay with, who took ad
vantage of the chance to get Itmlde a
pwell hotel and get acquainted with tho
eaay side of living. But If they did
theie was liHiborlng ,11 their mind the
little thought that this might be the last
big blowout coming to them until they
rioss to the other side. To be a soldier
in these days In to be king among civil
ians. The shoe deal; In olive drab Is the.
god of the war machine, and a fellow for
whom nobody can do too. much Just now
This morning there will be breakfast
waiting for these 200 Some will wait
around till almost noon for a train to
take them back to the long low barren
barrack 100ms and the muddy drill
grounds and their turn at drill. But for
last night there was no chtll taps blown
in on them to signal the dousing of lights
and a few houra of soldier sleep between 1
gray blankets. There was a downy bed
and white linen, and an electric fixture
that was made for burning, There were
soft carpets to step on. There was music
to hear of many violins. There were
deep seated chairs that felt strange to
the hard muscled soldiers.
No revelllo will awake these 200 In
their fine quarters this morning. There
willslie no early rising while the sky Is
black to turn out for chow and a cold
line up for Inspection. For a night and
a morning, these men are the guests of
the city, and of the hotel men, and e cry
body will be glad If they enjoy It,
