New !ork.—-l'hh is ' the story of dawn in France; of 2,000 cups of hot, chocolate; of the kitchen car that sup- plied the chocolate; of two Tuxedo coats and two. evening suits and of *Uncle Joe,” writes Owen Conner in the New York Herald. The dawn was not the pink sunrise dAmalet—itmthe ghastly, gray, grim'break of day of gas-befouled and shell-torn battleflelds. The chocolate MMrnluhurtenar served to on their way to face death. The wn ' was one of the proud pos- ons o Knights of Columbus war woekers, * “Uncle Joo" l;’imdlnlnl‘nm y now. Hot chocolate figures went down to its s pathway opened to Sedsn, but it Nicknamed “Uncle Joe.” He wasn’t “Uncle Joe” until after he tad gone to France. He loves the nick- name, for it was given him by Ameri- ean soldiers—in fact he likes it better than'any pet name ever bestowed up- .. ised not to tell about that. Mr. Kernan is the son of Francis Kernan, once United States senator trom New York. He was appointed an overseas secretary by the Knights of Oolumbus in March, 1818. To him fell the honor of establishing the first K. of C. hut in France, in May, 19618, From the start the possibilities of serv- lee of the kitchen car appealed to his mnmtlon and he couldn't b torn the tront where he the kitchen car as a base of opera- tions. . After he had opened several K. of C. hauts, he went to Paris, took pos- sesslon of a kitchen car and went up to Chery with it. There the Seventy- seventh division was fighting and it was the men of that division who nick- named him “Uncle Joe,” He insists’ that full credit must be given to Fred- erick Bundschau of Loulsville, Ky., and to Louis Lasage for the able and devoted assistance given by them, Here is his story as he tells it him- self: “When I started for France I was told there would be considerable ‘en- tertaining’ to be done on the other side. I realized very quickly, once I set foot in France, that the entertain- Ing to be done was along entirely dif- ferent llnes than those with which I nad left New York. For example, I started out with several trunks. One )f them held two Tuxedo coats and two evening suits. On my arrival in France I promptly forgot all about that trunk. scheme of things as I saw it with my >wn eyes. I'll tell you more about the runk later. Gets Kitchen Car. “Immediately after landing I went to Baccarat, in the Luneville sector. With me was Fred Bundschau of Louisville, 1 splendidly loyal and efficlent man. We opened a hut at Baccarat. Then I went to Camp Devre, known ‘:orrectly 18 ‘Mud camp.’ “Some time later I went to Paris, where I seized a K. C. kitchen car and carried it off to the fromt at Chery. That was the thing to do your enter- ‘aining with and' I'll tell the whole wide world that a Tuxedo or an eve- alng coat would have been as funny there as a suit of overalls at the opera. “You see the car began work at Jawn—in the summer that means four v'clock in France. We weren't allowed to build a fire before daylight—it might have aided the enemy. We got out of our bunks. Fred Bundschau, Louis Lasage and I, at a little after three, started the fires going as soon 13 we could get permission and then’ moved the car to a point where the men going out to the trenches and the men coming back would pass each other. 3 “Our greatest pride was that we were able to serve and did serve 2,000 cups. of hot chocolate there every morning, besides giving out cigarettes and other supplies to the soldiers. And we kept it going, too, every day. Hard to Get Sugar. § “There were difficulties to be sur- mounted. The greatest of these was to ' obtain our own ‘Supplies of choco- late and stigar.
