100000 bound volumes throughout
the American units abroad during the

$4,000 per month.

by the association for educational
work, all of them eventually being
taken over by the army along with
the Y. M. C. A. educational work. A
million and a half copies of Popular

Before the American Library asso-
citation arrived in France to carry on
it's enormous work the task of furn-
ishing all literature fell upon the "Y"

attendant on shipping, the associa-
tion was forced to advertise in Paris
papers for gifts of reading matter
printed in English in order to be
able to carry ON Its work.

Paris, July 22-The services that
the Average New Yorker over the
military age, rendered at the front in
France, have been recognized by the
French Army in the award, announc-
ed today, of the Croix de Guerre to
Sterling S. Beardsley, a New York
cotton broker. Beardsley served for
nine months with the American Red
Cross as a canteen worker in the

name of The Average New Yorker"

conveyed was that Beardsley's isitua-

of thousands of New York business
men. He was broker over AZ, had
been twice refused by the army, had
a wife and two children. He bought
Liberty Bonds, contributed to the
welfare organizations and joined in

suffice him and so he obtained a com
mission with the Red Cross, He sail

months later he was in the midst of
the biggest offensive the German
armies had ever attempted-th
Somme drive of March 1918.

of chocolate or performed any kitch-
en- labor in his life. Bnt the night he
reached the front on top of a rolling
soup kitchen he started to scour pots
and pans. He explained that he "just
figured out" that they ought to be
