ter, a Y. M. C. A. man of Dunnellon

hey sent the sweet chocolate which
he secured for them to an isolated pla
toon, which was under severe fire
access the Vesle river at Flsmea.
It was during the heavy fighting
eastward from Chateau Thierry, that
the men of the 109th Machine Gun Bat
talion got ahead of their supplie*. and
the sweet chocolate which the Y. M.
C. A. managed to get to them, was
specially welcome.
The battalion reached the Vesle riv
er on its advance. There the German
line held. Men were thrown across
the river by various units to keep in
contact with the enemy. There was
terrific fighting all along the line. A
platoon of Company ID was hurried
over to help in holding the narrow-
strip that had been taken at great cost
by the American soldiers. It was sur
rounded on thr»e sides by the Boche,
who tried every means in his power
to dislodge them,—gas, shells, machine
gun fire and snipers. It was a difficult
matter to get food over to them for
men with supplies had to cross the
river wtiich was exposed and under

PERSHING SENDS MOTT
NEW YEAR GREETINGS
Paris. Dec. 26.—Many times during
the past year General Pershing has
taken occasion to commend the work
of the Y. M. C. A. for the soldiers
of the A. E. F. and to express his
keenest appreciation for the many
good deeds done by the “Y M in this
country.
On Christmas Day the commander
of the American Expeditionary Forces
sent the following cablegram to Dr
John R. Mott, head of the National
War Work Council:
“With a deep feeling of gratitude for
the enormous contributiqn which the
Army D oung Men's Christian Associa
tion has made to the moral and physi
cal welfare of the American Army, ail
ranks join me in sending you Christ
mas greetings and cordial best wishes
for the New Year.”
New York, Jan. ...—Almost $4',000,-
000 worth of smokes, sweets, sporting
goods, chewing gum and other com
modities was shipped to France during
the month of November by the Army
and Navy Y. M. C. A., for the use
of the American Expeditionary Forces.
A statement to this effect has fast
been issued by the National War
Council and tends to demonstrate that
the demand for supplies of this char
acter has not been reduced by the fact
that hostilities have ceased.
In exact figures the value of the
supplies 'Shipped to France was $3,-
895,908 and each month's quota will ap
proximate this total until the forces
overseas have been materially reduced
by demobilization
The demand for tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes has not diminished since
the armistice was signed, as witness
the fact that $1,351,000 of the total
amount went for the purchase of the
weed in some form. In the ship
ments were 464,911 pounds of tobacco,
198,065,320 cigarettes and 99,700 ci
gars. As for confectionery, there were
213,800 pounds of hard candy, 175,918
pounds of chocolates and 329,280 pack
ages of cough drops, not to mention
637,600 tins of jams and 6,641,300
pounds of sugar. The chewing gum
conignments totaled 6,100,000 packages
—enough to load every slot machine
in the United States.
