General John J. Pershing. American expeditionary force commander, leav
ing Y*. M. O. A., Palais du Glace, Paris, where he congratulated every woman
worker personally.
General Pershing’s inspection of the Y. M. C. A. canteen, which was unan
nounced. took up an entire morning and he expressed himself satisfied with
tlie results. At several places he surprised the men at their luncheon. At the
Palais du Glace, where 25,000 Americans eat daily, th* first intimation that the
diners had of his presence was when the orchestra played the “Star-Spangled
Banner,’’ and they looked about to find the commander in chief of A. E. F.
standing at attention.
He interrogated a number of the soldiers about the food and the prices,
and exhibited the most minute interest in everything pertaining to their
welfare. At the Hotel Rochester, a Y. M. C. A. hostelry on the Boulevard
Oourelles. he learned with surprise that any private soldier could get two
eggs for his breakfast. This was something generals frequently had experi
enced difficulty In doing. \
To the American women workers at the Palais du Glace he said: “I want
to tell you that I appreciate what the American women are doing over here.
It: means a great deal to tin army to have the right kind of American women
here doing the work you are doing. Not only is it good for the soldiers, buU
for you, too. It gives you a new perspective on the work of men, and on
the war.”
CAN YOU BLAME “YANKS” FOR
MIXING CENTS AND CENTIMES?
Tn the early part of the war, the overseas Y. M. C. A. canteen price
lists looked like 11ns:
Bull Durham .1 oz.
Dukes Mixture .1 oz.
Ducky Strike .2 oz.
Prince Albert .1 oz.
Prince Albert .2 oz.
Tuxedo .2 oz.
Velvet .2 oz.
Later in the war the price lists looked this way:

Many people will probably wonder what proportion of the stories
about overcharging by the Y. M. C. A. can be traced to this early
omission of United States currency on the lists. The “30 cent.” stood
for thirty centimes, or five cents in U. S.
