Kniohts of Columbus Bring Joy to
Boys While Battle Is In
Progress.
."Vow iorK.—snowers or cigarettes
fell from the skies on the American
fighters driving the Germans out of
the St. Mihiel salient. This fact was
announced in a cablegram received by
William J. Mulligan, chairman of the
Knights of Columbus committee on
war activities, at the United War
Work Campaign headquarters. From
American airplanes 20,000 packages of
cigarettes were dropped into the hands
of infantrymen and artillerymen press
ing forward In their victorious squeeze
which dislodged the enemy from the
Stronghold they had held for more than
three years. Each package was
stamped "Compliments of the Knights
of Columbus."
At the same time, cable dispatches
announce, Y. M. C. A. workers on foot
moved among the soldiers, handing out
chocolates and cigarettes.
The airplane service for distributing
cigarettes to the soldiers, while the
battle was in progress and the ordi
nary foot or motor methods of reach
ing the men in the front lines were
unavailable, was established by Mar
tin V. Merle of San Francisco, a K.
of C. secretary, with the co-operation
of an American airplane unit. After
the fight, soldiers related how pleas
antly surprised they had been when
cigarettes dropped from on high. They
declared uo service in their behalf ever
had pleased them as much as this ul
tra modern delivery of "smokes."
The Y. M. C. A. workers won new
friends at St. Mihiel. One Red Tri
angle man, with a huge pack on his
back, moved forward with a certain
unit, distributing chocolates and ciga
rettes to each soldier. Salvation Army
workers also were busy with their
doughnuts and coffee throughout the
St. Mihiel drive.
