HNIGHTSOFCOLUMBUS
ARE COMPLIMENTED BY
GENERAL PERSHING
PARIS, June 27 (by Associated
Press). — Acknowledgement of the
service rendered to the soldiers by
the Knights of Columbus has been
sent by General Pershing to the head
quarters of the organization here.
Writing to the Overseas Commission
ers Lawrence O. Murray and Edward
L. Hearn, General Pershing stated:
“I wish to express through you to
the Knights of Columbus my appre
ciation and that of the officers and
men under my command for the val
uable services rendered by your or
ganization to the American Expedi
tionary Force.
"The active work of your organiza
tion began early in 1918, was well
under way by the spring of that year,
and has been increasing in scope ever
since. Before the cessation of hos
tilities its workers were attached to
many of the combat divisions and re
creation huts had been opened in the
principal American concentration cen
ters. Numerous commanding officers
have commended the devotion to duty
of your personnel, and have testified
to their popularity and helpfulness
among the troops whom they served.
“During the armistice, it has been
particularly active in the promotion
of athletics, a most valuable factor for
health and contentment. It has also
contributed to the success of the
army entertainment program by gen
erous appropriations for musical in
struments and equipment of soldier
shows; has increased its general re
creational activities, helping mater
ially to maintain the morale of the
army during the inevitable period ol
waiting to go home.’

GREAT SERVICE
RENDERED BY
THE Y J. C. A.
PITTSBURGH, June 27 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The service rendered
by the Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation to Amerifcan soldiers overseas
is characterized as “one of the most
wonderful things of the war,” by Dr.
Maitland Alexander, formerly mod
erator of the Presbyterian General
Assembly. Dr. Alexander recently re
turned from France after serving one
year as director of religious work
both in American cantonments and
with the army of occupation.
“In my opinion the money given to
the Y. M. C. A., to carry on the war
work of the association was money
well spent,” Dr. Alexander said.
Dr. Alexander, in his review of “Y”
war work, says that the organization
provided enough baseball equipment
for American soldiers overseas to
supply both the National and Ameri
can Leagues for 100 years, one item
alone being 2,250,000 baseballs.
High points of Dr. Alexander’s re
port show that the Y. M. C. A., estab
lished about 1,700 shops in France,
more than 3,000 miles from the source
of supplies; operated 50 large fac
tories in FTance where biscuits, choco
late, jams and like articles were pro
duced; conducted 20 hotels and res
taurants where American soldiers and
sailors were serve at 50 per cent of
the cost in civilian places; provided
2,000 huts, large tents, rented build
ings, dugouts and other centers afe
headquarters for the different units
of the army and navy; conducted 920
entertainments. Ninety-thousand mo
tion picture shows were given, 4,000,
000 feet of film being displayed, nec
essitating the U3e of 800 motion pic
ture machines. Three hundred thou
sand soldiers have enjoyed vacations
in centers established and financed by
the “Y.” Six hundred educators were
sent overseas to establish the Univer
sity in Khaki. Distributions include
5.000. 000 books, 4,000,000 pieces of re
ligious literature, 2,000,000 magazines,
10.000. 000 newspapers and 1,000,000
. popular song boks. Through its
banking service the “Y” has enabled
soldiers to make 325,000 remittances,
aggregating more than $20,000,000 to
■ their families at home wilteaut

UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH T
FOR HIDDEN TREASURE
WASHINGTON, June 27 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Indetstructible gaso
line tanks, automatic cranks and port
able hangars are a few of the air
plane equipment devices which the
army air service’s 'engineering sec
tion is seeking to perfect. American
inventors have been asked to assist.
The gasoline tank desired would
withstand “a salvo of 15 shots fired
at a range of 30 yards, the ammuni
tion consisting of service, tracer, in
cendiary and armor-piercing bullets,
without fire resulting.” A maximum
weight limit of 75 per cent more than
the ordinary tank has been fixed.
An automatic cranker, mounted on
a truck and electrically driven, is
under experiment. This instrument
is designed to offset the great diffi
culties now experienced in starting
the big bombing planes which are
expected to be the type adopted in
aerial commerce. A flexible arm is
attached to the propeller, giving the
twist necessary to start the cylinders
to firing and is then automatically
disconnected.
Portable hangars of canvas, of the
type now used, are very unsatis
factory, according to aviation of
ficials. They either are too small for
the purpose or are easily blown down
by a moderate wind. The hangar
sought would be large enough to hold
four planeB and would be capable of
being solidly fixed when erected.
UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCH
FOR MEXICAN TREASURE
MEXICO CITY, June 27 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Search for the lost
treasures of the bandit Chevez Gar
cia, who, before his sudden death
from influenza laBt fall, was said to
hare buried large quantities of loot in
the mountains of Michoacan, has al
most been discontinued, with the lo
cation of the treasure still a mystery.
It was reported that Garcia buried
much of his loot in a labyrinthian
cave near Penjamlllo, Michoacan, and
the people of that village for months
have maintained an enthusiastic but
futile search for 1L A similar search
was made in the state of Durango
where Tomas Urbina, another bandit,
was said to have hidden a large
amount of stolen goods.
