NOW THAT FIGHTING IS OVER, GENERAL RELIEVES RED
TRIANGLE, At ITS OWN REQUEST, OF
POST EXCHANGE WORK
Chaumont, France, Feb. 23. The- American T. M. C. A., at
Its own request, has been relieyed of its work In maintaining
the post exchanges with the American army. Correspondence
has been exchanged between General Pershing and E. C. Carter,
in charge of the Y M. C. A. with the army, resulting in this
decision.' On Jan. 29 Mr. Carter wrote to General Pershing say
ing that duties of the .Y. M. CI A. in promoting athletics and
entertainments, were so heavy that he thought it should be re
lieved of the exchange work.
General Pershing, In bis reply, said:
"As you correctly state, the Y. M. C. A. undertook , the
- management of the post exchanges at my request at a time
when it was of the greatest importance that no available
soldier should be taken away from the vital military func
tions of training and fighting. As the reasons which im
pelled me at that time to request you to undertake this
work no longer exist, I am glad to approve of your sugges
tion. "In making this change, permit me to thank you for
the very valuable services and assistance which the Y. M.
C. Av has rendered to the American Expeditionary Force in
handling these exchanges. Handicapped "by a shortage of ton
nage and land transportation, the Y. IVf.C. A. has by extya
exertion 'served the army better than could have been exv
pected, and you may be assured that its aid has boen a large
factor in the final great accomplishment of the American
army."
