“OVER THERE."
In a letter to a friend to Newport,
K. I„ J. a Tate, who to with Per-
thing's forcee, writes as follows:
"to my last letter I spoke, I think,
of our plan to giro the children ol
nearby villages a happy Christmas. 1
am pleased to be able to say that we
succeeded magnificently. In the first
place the contribution of the officers
and soldiers was most liberal, and
we'were able to give very useful
presents to the children. It was a
soul-inspiring sight to see the hun
drodi of little faces that had boon
saddened by the war, with all its hor
rors, lit up again with Joy and laugh
ter at Santa Claus from America, tnt
beautiful tree and gifts which he
brought them. Many of them are or
phans, same haring both parents
dead, and they had all seen the Ger
mans come and lay waste their
quaint Tillages and plunder their
homes and shoot their loved ones.
“It was a benediction to the sol
diers to be able to bring such Joy to
their little Uvea. Along with other
deeds of self-sacrifice that the sol
diers and officers are doing over here,
this ranks close to the top. - It is
not likely to find a place to the head
lines as a battle, but who knows but
It benefited humanity tar more. It
was the first time these little tots
had ever seen anything of the kind,
and will leave a lasting impression
on their minds.
"How I wish some of our soldiers'
mothers could have witnessed the
rcene. I never saw people more
given to deeds of benevolence and
human kindness and sympathy than
the average private soldier in our
army. They are the embodiment ot
sympathy and kindness to the unfor
tunate.
"At 6:30 to the evening we sent
the big army trucks to the village for
the children, and after the festivities
were over took them home in tbs
same way. It was a snowy evening,
a typical white Christmas And. every
thing conspired to make it ideal.”
