MONEY SENT HOME
BEFORE BIG BATTLE
Doughboys "cleaned Pockets" for
Home Folks, When Return From
Fight Was Uncertain. Y. M. C. A.
Has Delivered Millions Of Dollars
For Annex.

Paris, Feb. THE steady unset
fishness of the American soldier,
shown by the way he cleaned his
pockets 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 26th Division His particular
charge was the third battalion of the
1OSrd 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 back In all, was entrusted
with 100000 francs upwards OF
$1,000, 600 - before that attack. We
handled such funds through the regu-
lar Y. M. C. A. service established for
sending money from soldiers to rela-
tives in America
Baker lived with his battalion. and
saw lively times, as the Yankee
Division as it was called, was kept
on the fighting front almost continu-
ously.
