SOUTHEAST HEROES IN FRANCE
GET SUPPLIES AT LESS THAN
WHOLESALE PRICES OVER HERE
MO TRIANGLE SHOULDERS EXPENSE OF TRANSPORTATION FROM
MANUFACTURERS TO CANTEENS IN FRANCE SYSTEM
REDUCED TO FINAL BASIS AND RESULTS
NOW ARE VERY GRATIFYING.
The Americans overseas with Pershing have facilities for couibaUtlng
tbe high cost of living that are absolutely beyond the reach of civilian oa
this side of the Atlantic. Even their small luxuries, such as tobacco, bis
cultB, cukea and similar articles, are obtainable at prices that are consid
erably lower than those charged by retailers In American cities.
This la made possible because the Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. has taken
over all post exchangee to France at the direct request of General PerBhlng,
so that the Red Triangle Is now conducting the greatest bUHlnese enterprise
In the world.
Tobacco and other "suplementary" luppllPi ore distributed to the boys
In Khaki at exactly wholesale prlceB. The "Y" makes not a penny of profit
and even shoulders the financial loss entailed by footing the bills for trans
portation from the manufacturer to the canteens at the front.
The American troopers can buy Fatlma clfrarettes for 60 centimes, or
about 8 cents; Camels, 36 centimes, or about 6 cents; Sweet Oaporalfl, 20
centimes, or about S cents; Lucky Strikes, 30 centlmea, or about 6 cents;
Murads, 66 centimes or about 11 cents; Hull Durham, 25 centimes, or about
4 cents; Prince Albert, 40 centimes, or about 7 cents; Velvet, 30 centimes,
or about 6 rents; Star Chewing, 86 centimes, or about 6 cents.
Capt. George M Lynch, former assistant commandant at the Florida
Military College, Oalnesvllle, Fla., but now In the Red Triangle Service, has
made several trips overseas and has Investigated thoroughly the conditions exist
ing In the post exchanges under Y. M, C. A. management. He declares that
while some difficulty was pxperlencod at first, prices have been stabilised
and the boys are getting their supplies at cost.

Huge barrels of lemonade served U

one instance of the service be tin
remlored to the soldiers of Uncle San.
and his allies by the Salvation Arm
workers now detailed with the fight
Ing units on the western front.
The troops had been hammering
at the Boche H day ami all nlghl
and many of them had been put. out
of action during (he terrific fighting
but although suffering from wound,
made by shrapnel, rifle bullets anc
hand grenades, most of the lnjurec
men were conscious and many ol
them able to get about with the aid
of improvised crutches. The surgeoni
were busy In the dressing statloni
and the waiting soldiers wanted noth
ing so much as a good drink oi
something cold and refreshing.
Then it was that the Salvation Ar
my workers cam along with several
barrels filled with sure enough lem
onade. Where they got the lemon
or the sugar nobody knows, but the
soldiers asked no questions as they
dove for the tin cupa that were plied
alongside the barrels on a hup truck
The surgeons said afterward thai
the lemonade served to keep down
tho temperature of many a lad whose
wounds could not be dressed untli
the most serious cases had been at
tended to. And what that cupful ol
good old Yankee drink meant t
those boys who had Just come out ol
the Inferno of Chateau-Thierry, will
never be told.
It li Just that kind of service that
Is making the Salvation Army organ 1
i at ion with the military forces of the
allies one of the tnoBt potent factorr
In welfare work. As one of the sevei
great war work organizations par
tlclpatlng In the united war worV

thorough Investigation of the work
being done by the various war work
agencies.
"I found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, In oow barns
where shrapnel had blown parts of
the roof away, as well as in the sub
stantial huts and tents far back from
the firing line.
"I hare found them In hospitals and
dressing stations; in scattered Tillages
In the training area where our men ere
billeted and even la the remote parts
of France where the forestry units are
carrying out their lonely, but efficient
and essential work. Your books are in
continual demand from the time the
soldiers arrive In camp in America
until they come back home after b.t
Ice over there."

grown tremendously within the past
few months and millions of books)
