New YORK, Feb. $50 unusual was
the service rendered by DeRoy r. Fon-
vile of Burlington, N. c., in his Y. M.
C. A. work overseas that Major Cen
eral l.. S. Upton has written him a
personal letter in appreciation of his
efforts.
Mr.. Fonville has returned to his
home after ten months service with
the Y. NJ C.. A. He was with the Fifth
and Sixth Marines and Ninth and Twen-
ty-third infantry at Chateau Thierry,
scissors and st. Mihiel. 1t was while
he was in a trench waiting to serve
the Marines when they pushed off,
that a high explosive shell blew par
ticles of rock into his eye, binding it.
The same shellfire killed James A.
Birchby, Y. NJ. c. A. secretary from
Pasadena, CAL, and wounded another
Red Triangle worker, Thomas w. Will
but. Jr., of New Britain, Conn.
The letter of appreciation that was
sent to Mr.. Fonville by General Upton
read as follows: T have observed your
work as Y. NJ. c. A. representative OF
the Ninth infantry for some time and
wish to convey to you my appreciation
of the accomplishing and soldier-like
manner in which you have undergone
all without the glory that is attached
tn the profession of arms. The work
which you have done had added great
1v TO the contentment of the men and
thus TO the efficiency of the com,
mand."
"My experience gave me an apprec-
iation of American men and what they
can 20 through" said MI Fonville.
"Our division was a shock unit. 1t
never went any way but forward. Our
division alone captured 10000 prison
errs Those men appreciated the Y.
M G.. A. and understood the difficult
ties if had to contend with in getting
sunnlies I'D to the front. l have no
complaint to make about losing the
sight of one eye, that IS war, but II
bewilders me to have known what ]
do of the work of the 'Y' in France
and then come home to learn Of the
criticisms being circulated here. /
heliaye t.lat in due time the full ap
preciation of the Y. M. G. AS work
tor victory will be general"

Paris. Feb. The steady unset
fishness of the American soldier,
shown by the way he cleaned his
rockets of money before going into
action, to be sent home if he didn't
come back, is told by w. ]. Baker of
Portchester, n. Y, who served eleven
months as Y. M. C. A. worker with
the 36th Division. His particular
charge was the third battalion of the
103rd infantry. He joined that unit
on the St. Mihiel front, went with
them to Chateau Thierry, and later
was in the famous st. Mihiel cleanup
and the drive before Verdun
"It was just before that action be-
gan" said Baker, that saw the finest
example of the characteristic unselfish
ness of the boys. They cleaned their
pockets' for the folks at home. They
knew they were going up against the
real thing, and they wanted all their
money to go home in case they never
came hack. In all, l was entrusted
With 100000 francs - upwards OF
s1 100000 - before that attack. We
hond,ed such funds through the regu-
lar Y. NJ. C. A. service established for
sending money from soldiers to rela-
t,yes in America

Sir Thomas Upton Sails

A tenacious fog, unusual tor TINS

The fog bank shut down upon them
however, as they passed the Battery
and all sought an anchorage.
While moving south under mere
steerage way, the Adriatic poked her
bow into the stern of the St. Michael
denting a few plates and sr'"s

and caused little or Il. 49,. .e -

LOcal Gas Rate

At Coshocton, Ohio, the city council
after giving careful previous con-
sideration of the necessity for conser-

35c ordinance and approved a new
rate of 45c less &c per one thousand
cubic feet, plus a readiness to serve
charge of 35c to be paid each month
by each consumer regardless of guam

thousand; first three thousand cubic
feet $1.61 or 5328c per thousand; first
