Unclear Showered With Flowers. unclear with flowers by 5,000 radiant Chicago girls, encored by hundreds of thousands of men and women packed in every vantage point from street curb to skyscraper roof, the Prairie division he- roes stepped out "high and handsome," as they never stepped before, even when they were reviewed by Gen. Pershing himself and commended by him fo their battle record. Maj.-Gen. George Bell, Jr., commander of the 33rd visiosion throughout its fighting career, gave the command which sent them "over the top" from Grant park to Park row and Michigan avenue shortly after 11 a.m. That was the official starting point of the procession of the steel helmeted Tro- jans of Illinois. But long before they wheeled into the broad boulevard. crammed with howling admirers, the Prairie boys had been given adequate testimony that Chicago loved them and yearned to hug them one and all.
