Post Exchanges Overseas Are
Taken Over by the Mili

Asserting that tho valuablo aid ren
dered by tho war service of tho Y. At.
C. A. had boon a larRo"faclor In tbo
fliiul great accomplishments of tho
American army, General I'orshlng, In
a communication to K. C. Carter, In
charge of association oporntloui with
tho American Uxpedlllonary Forcei,
pays a splendid tribute to the work
which Oils agency accomplished unikr
oxtremo difficulties und handicaps,
"Tho Y. M. C. A. served tho army bet
tar than could have been expected,"
says Oonorat I'ersblng.
At Its own roquest tho American Y.
M, C. A. Iiiih been rollovod from main
taining poal exchanges with tbo Kx
pedltlonnry forces overseas, tho need
for such service having been relieved
with tho slgulug of tbe armistice, Cor
respondents exchanged between Ocn
oral rershlng and !- C. Carter, In
charco of tho Y. M. C. A. with tho
army, rosulled In this decision. Car
ter wrote to Onncral l'orahlng January
29th as follows:
Door General rershlng!
A your nnd a half ago you re
quested tho Y. M. C. A. to under
take operation for post exchanges
for tho American Expeditionary
Forces in order thut "officers and
enlisted men may not be taken
away for that purpose from their
paramount military functions of
training and fighting."
As soon as hostilities ceased we
rnlstd with you tho quostlon
whether Onto had not Come for the
Y. M. C. A. to bo relieved of tho
operation of post vxohnti ;es In
view of the fact that there was no
longer tho same pressing d mand
on man power of the amy for
training and fighting, Wlxtn wo
first raised tho quoslion with you
It did not appear to you that It was
feasible In tho best Inter sta of
maximum acrvlc to tho army that
a change hit made. Now the ultu
atlou In luutetUlly altered.
Iterant general order from main
headquarters and roquest fiom
commanding officer havo laid on
tho Y. M. C. A. Increased rospomtl
bltltle In promoting educational,
athletic and entertainment activi
ties In tho American Expeditionary
Force. This In placing a rapidly
increasing burden upon our per
sonnet. Tho nrmy Is also now pro
paring for Out delivery of all sup
plies for post exchange which
heretofore have batn lniKirted,
manufnotiirod unit dtllvorod by tho
Y. M. C. A.
In view of tho changed situation
I wish to know whether you do not
think It would bo possible for tbo
army nt n very early date lo ns
Hiime full responsibility for Iho
maintenance of post oxrhangns
throughout Out American ttxiiodl
tlonnry Force?
Very cordially your.
(Hlgiiod) It C. CAllTHIt.
General Pershing Immediately acted
upon the MUKgoatlnu mude by Carter
and relieved tho Y. M. C. A. of It task
of maintaining tho post eu-han. He
aald:
My Heir Mr. Carter:
I have received your lottr of
January SOth asking whether. In
view of present changed situation,
It would bo possible for the army
to assume full responsibility for
maintenance uf piwt exchange
throughout American Kxpcdlllon
ary Force.
An you correotly tato, the Y. M.
C, A. undertook tbe management
of post oxebungea at my request at
a Ohio when It was of greatest Im
poilnnco that no available mildler
ahoiild b taken nway fi m vital
military functions of training and
fighting. A reasons which Im
lulled mo at that time to request
you to undertake this work no
longer exist, I am glad to npprovo
your Biiegestlon in machine this
conclusion. Consideration ha bean
glvon to uw burdens In rauueo
Oou with -tnterlalument, athletic
activities jid education that you
hue asaugied. I have accord
ingly glv(. dliectlons that nrmy
null themselves take ovor and
vporato tlu.tr own post exclmnios.
In makliii,- Oil change permit me
to Ibauk yo-j for the very valuable
services am! nsslstanco which tho
Y. M C. X. ha rondered lo the
American Kvpedltlouary hrce In
handling thej exchanges. Ilandl
capped by Hhoi'tago of tuumme and
land tiantporintlon the Y. M. C. A.
has. by extra inerflon, served the
nrmy better tliV could have been
exptvted, and you may bo assured
that It aid ha (wu a largo fac
