Soldiers Overseas To
Serve For Y. M..C. A.;
Fewer Men Go From U. S.
General Pershing Tells j.Y. M. C. A. to "Take Their Pick" From Men
' ; of A. E. F., Which Cuts Down Recruiting Program
.- ; " f In This Country
Atlanta, Ga., Jan.. ..The offer of
General Pershing to release offlcera
and' men of the A. E. F. from mili
tary duty in order that their services
might be utilized by the Y, M. C. A.
resulted in the recruiting of a large
number of soldiers for " Y" work and
naturally resulted in a decrease in the
number of men "being sent from" this
country overseas. ,; ' V -Up
until the time General Pershing's
offer was made, the Y. M. ' C. A. had
done extensive recruiting for the pur
pose of sending a large number of
workers overseas. But. when it was
learned that workers could be secured
in France men well fitted for the
work because of their familiarity with
conditions the services of many men
in the United States were not needed.
v While many candidates for service
overseas were disappointed over the
outcome, the Y. M. C. A. could not
have acted otherwise. General Per
hing told the "Y" to take any sol
diers it wanted and as many as 11
wanted, and by so doing the Associa
tion has saved a great deal of monej
that would have been spent in trans
porting the workers to France. The
soldiers in France know the work oi
the Y. M. r C. A. almost as ' well as
their own, and those who have been
so far selected are making excellenl
workers. ,
The Y. M. C. A., however, will no1
discontinue the sending of men tc
France. Now and then men who are
especially qualified for he work over
seas will be used, only they will be
fewer in number. '
Dr. W. W. Alexanderf director ol
personnel for the Southeastern depart
ment, points out that the generous of
fer of General Pershing is only 'an
other; indication of the high esteem
which is held for the Y. M. A.
by the United States government and
by the leader of the American Expe
ditionary Forces.

With the American Armies in
France, Jan. ...Praising the men of
Company D, 109th Machine Gun Bat
talion, 28th Division, Howard R. Keis
ter, a Y. M. C. A. man of Dunnellon,
ila., tells how; when without food,
they sent the sweet chocolate which
he secured for them to an isolated pla
toon, which was under severe fire,
acress the Vesle river at Fismes.
It was during the heavy fighting
eastward from Chateau Thierry, that
the men of the 109th Machine Gun Bat
talion got ahead of their supplies, 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 D 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 three 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 which was exposed and under
heavy fire.

According to late press reports the
demands of the allies at the T pealce
conference- are very , modest. (1?)
France wants all that portion of Ger
many west "of the Rhine; England
wants all of the colonies and the big
gest navy in the world; Italy wants
all the lad bordering the Adriatic
"sea; the Agean islands and a fw
more thousand, miles - of territory;
Greece wants all of Turkey in Europe
and so On down the line, while they
' ':- all want . Uncle Sam to loan them

' The newspaper correspondents in
France are up in arms over the fact
i that the peace conference is to be 1 i
secret affair, so we are told. Mr.
Wilson said before he sailed for Eu
- ; rope, that so far as the United States
V was concerned,- the proceedings would
not be secret, but that our newspapers
would be supplied with full and com
plete proceedings and that everything
-would be done to aid the cable compa
nies in handling the news. We do
not think Mr. Wilson wil agree to a
"pussy-foot" convention. I
FIGHTING PARSON
GETS WAR CROSS
John Clifford Wearing Y. M, C. A.
Uniform, Proves Himself
Real Hero
New York, Jan. . ..Almost $4,000,
000 worth of smokes, sweets, sporting
foods, chewing gum and other com
modities was shipped to France during
the month of November by the Army
and Nary Y. MJ C. A., for the use
of the American Expeditionary Forces.
A statement to this effect has - just
been issued fey the National War
Council and tends to demonstrate that
the demand, for supplies of this char
acter has not been reduced by he 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 demobilisation. :
The demand for tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes has not diminished sine
the armistice was signed, as witness
the fact that $1,351,000 of i the total
amount went for the purchase of the
weed in some . form. In the ship
meats were 464,911 pounds of tobacco,
198,065,820 cigarettes and 99,700 ci
gars. As for confectionery, there were
213,800 pounds of hard candy, 175,91?
pounds of chocolates and 329,280 pack
ages of - cough drts, not to mention
537,600 tins of jams and 6,541;30C
pounds of sugar. 1- The chewing gum
conignments totaled 6,100,000 packages
enough-to load every slot machine
in the United States. i
Jjidge Justice, in charging a jury at
Asheville, Monday said, in reference
to the Northerner's "criticism of the
mountain dialect, -that the mountain
eers were more capable in the use! 01
English than some grammarians,
as they found a plural for you,
you-uns, which" the grammarians did
not. We can hardly imagine what
such matters have to do with the ad
ministration of court affairs but iwe
wish .to inform the Judge that the
mountaineers' are not the only Ones
whd have discovered a plural for you,
and if the Judge will take a trip up
North and listen, to the language used
around some of the mining camps ' up
: there ' he will hear, the term "yoiis,"
as a; plural for you. 4
Gov.;jBickett has given North Caro
lina a splendid - administration, - and
now he goes -and kicks the fat in the
fire by, asking the legislature to give
the Governor the appointing power of
all state i otnees -' except -Lieutenant-:
Governor. - Such, action would be , un-American;-
un-Democratic,. and would
build - up a political 5 machine whose
power for evil could scarcely be com
prehended. The fewer appointive of
fices, in any commonwealth the better.
' The' Governor of almost any state has
the appointing of too many officials
now. Let the people select the offl
. cials; county congressional, senatorial,
iudicial. executive; and even to munic
ipal. Make the United States just as
democratic as possible. We are at a
lczs.to understand Gov. BiekettV mo

New York, Jan. There have
many war heroes; but there is certainly
no more conspicuously heroic figure
than John H. Clifford, Baptist minis
ter in time of peace, but real fighter
in time of war, who has been awarded
the Croix de Guerre for extraordinary
heroism in action.
John Clifford, as a Y. . M. C- A.
worker, braved the red wrath of war.
He has been in the firing" zone as
much as the hardiest inf antryman and
was decorated for a, most unusual ex
ploit. He was one of three men who
braved incessant enemy shell fire
while rescuing Col. Albertus w. Catlin,
commanding of fleer .of the Sixth regi
ment of Marines. The trio carried the
colonel to safety on a stretcher.
Mr. Clifford went over the top many
times and came near being killed on
several occasions. He is fifty - one
years old and was born at Oxford, Eng
land, and has preached the gospel in'
many parts of the world. When given
a chance, to serve with the Y; M. C. A.
in. riauw, u tt.uer , mat It Was
good thing, and ha jumped at it.

ous bravery.
Modra has been with the Polisl
forces continuously since his arrival
In France five months ago, and has
given many notable exhibitions of gal
lantry and fidelity to duty! During thfl
last days of the hostilities he served
with the Tirst division in the Vosges
In charge of a hut In a narrow vallej
between the first and second tint
trenches. From this but he made trii
after trip, carrying supplies to the met

under fire repeatedly. . -
When the fighting was at its heavi
est Modra and the men associated wit)
him in Y work continued their minis
trations to the soldiers, serving cocoa

to receive them, and cigarettes. Thii
service contributed much to the higl
morale of the troops and won not onlj
the praise of the officers but the last
