Atlanta, Ca, jan. The offer of
General Pershing to release officers
and men of the A. E. F. from mill
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 SELLERS for "Y" work, and
naturally resulted in decrease in the
number Of men being sent from this
country overseas.
Upuntil 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

While many candidates for service

outcome, the Y. M. c. A. could not

MRS. VANDERBILT
 K. OF 6. HOSTESS
Wealthy Woman Helps Pro- vide Good Time for New
 York Soldiers.

New ' ork, April 4-Do the Knights of Columbus and the League of Cath ollie Women provide digestive food for the soldiers and sailors whom they entertain at the K. of C. hut in Long acre Square? Because if they don't there must have been lot of tummy aches last night among the 200 men in uniform who spent yesterday after noon there as the guests of Mrs. W K. Vanderbilt and Miss Elizabeth Marbury, hostess for the day. Or are the insides of Uncle sam's boys proof against overdoses of ice cream?
 Ice cream? They swam in it. Pretty girls, to wit, Miss Katherine Mackay, Miss MurieI Vanderbilt, Miss Betty Jackson and Mile. M. Amuat, passed increasingly up and down the aisles giving them plate after plate of pink ice cream flanked by rich chocolate cake, candies and slabs of sweetened chocolate. Eats were free and it wasn't for mere doughboys to refuse such 8 treat. They even accepted it when one enthusiastic de- butante poured a plate of slightly melted cream down the back of two lads in khaki.
 It was a great feast, and not only of sweetmeats. There were entertain CTS IutIG IO SHE dIllu Dldy TOT lne boys-a dozen of them. Joe Santley sang several songs, winding up with his When the Fighting Irish Come HOme' This received such an ova- tion that Miss Marbury announced she would give a prize of s next Tuesday to the soldier or sailor who should give the best rendering of the song-NIr. Santley to be the judge.
 Miss Mollie King sang and then reduced the doughbOys and gobs to agouies of bashfulneSs not unmixed with joy by tripping down among them and gently caressing them, war bling meantime personal invitations to each to be her daddy. She disap- peared amid roars of approval.
 Harry Armstrong sang a song about a prohibition ball which brought shouts of approval from the men, who didn't appear to be strong for prohi- bition, though they accepted very gratefully the nothing stronger than coffee rule which obtains at the Long acre hut. Two ambulance loads of wounded from DebarkatiOn Hospital No. came to the party.

ST. ANEBROSE'S DAY.

Today is St. Ambrose Day, when Catholics honor the memory of the eminent father of the church who was Bishop of Milan in the fourth century. Ambrose was a citizen of Rome, born in Gaul. He became Bishop of Milan in 374, succeeding An,<entius. The orthodox and the Arians were then at war, and when the people assembled in the church to chose a new bishop, the tide of contention ran high.
 Ambrose appealed to them to lay aside their differences and to pro- ceei to the election in the spirit of Christian humility. When he had fin ished his address d child cried, Am prose is bishop" and this was inlnle- dtately and unanimously ratified by the assemblage. During his entire life Ambrose was jealous in combat ting the Arian heresy and the super stitions of the heather. He founded the famous Church of St. Ambrose at Milan in 347, ten years before his death.

WILL DISCHARGE
 HEROES FIRST

Washington, April 3-In formally advising General Pershing that 5O.- coo volunteers are baing enlisted here to replace an equal number of men in his army who want to come home, the War Department has di- rected the Commander-in-c chief to re- turn promptly for discharge select ed meritoriOus cases as he receives these volunteer replacernents.
 The War Departments cab1esram, made public today follows:
 We are now enlisting for three years 5O,0OO volunteers as follows: 25,00O infantry, IS, 900 field artillery, 5000 engineers, 5000 medical de- pertinent, 2,00O cavalry. These will be sent you In attachments of one thousand for assignments to the army of occupation.
 Upon arrival of each detachment, return to the United States for dis charge an equal number of men en- listed or drafted for the emergency, selecting most meritorious cases, pre- ferably those who fall under Circular 77, War Department, 1918, and those with Class A and Class B allotments' ''
 Circular 77 provides for the dis charge of a man upon his application where there is sickness or other dis tress in the soldiers family or where he was urgently needed in the occu- patton from which he went Tn civil life into the army. The allotment classifications mentioned in the cable gram cover the men who are making the largest provision from their sal aries for the support of dependents at home.
 The 50,OO0 volunteers are to be as sembled in provisional companies at Camp Meade, Maryland, in prepara- ton for going overseas.

NEED OF RAW NrArERIAIs.

This Is the situation as viewed en- tirely from the standpoint of direct commercial iruer- change between Great Britain and the United States. It Is not likely that the problem W ould be left to work out it's solution along such simple lines. There are many of our manufactured articles which Great Britain, under present circumstances, can refrain from pur- chasing. Some of them she can make herself She also can buy a large DOT ton of her food supplies from Cam ada, Australia, India and South
 Amer:Ca-her colonies or countries toward which she occupies the posi-
 ton of creditor. But England can hardly get along without copper, cot
 ton and other raw materials from
 the United States, if she is to main
 tain her position as manufactures
 and extend her foreign trade by eX- ports of finished products.
 It is probable that the United King dom will utilize it's creditor position with the usual consummate skill which her bankers have been acCUs- ! toned to employ. South America. i Asia, end Africa are still in her debt, ! and in settling international bal ] ances, Great Britain probably will 1 call upon her debtors to pay us with | coffee. tea, rubber etc, on account of | what these countries owe to her.
 Another development that has been 1 suggested Is the possibility that there | may be d resumption of the selling of | British-owned securities in this mar | ket. as the lower sterling goes, the more advantageous this transaction
 would be to British investors, as the
 dollars thus obtained would buy more 1 pounds than if sterling were higher. i There seems to be very little likeli- | hood of shipments of gold to this ! country owing, not only to the pro- { hibition on its export, but to the like | uhood of early exhaustion of the Brit
 ish supply if this attempt were made | 10 meet the balance.
