AT UNCLE SAM EXPENSE
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS TO GEL
EBRATE CHRISTMAS.
Elaborate Plans Made for Army and
Navy Dinners-Special Priv
ileges Granted.

Every soldier and sailor in the service
of the United States will celebrate Christ
mas at the expense of the government.
More elaborate plans are made by the
army and navy for the celebration of
year.
This year the government will give the
1900 sailors Of the Atlantic battleship
fleet. which is q large percentage of
those in the service, an unusually fine
spread at New York. Last year the
fishes Of the sea cheated the bluejackets
out of the dinner designed for them.
Fruits Added to Menu.
1t happened that the Navy Department
had sent out aboard the ocean steamer
Republic large quantity of nuts. ap-
pies. turkeys. cranberries and other
Christmas dainties valued at $61. 19l. for
the battleship fleet at Gibraltar, then on
its cruise around the world The Re-
public sank after a collision, and SO did
the bluejackets Christmas dinners.
A policy has been adopted in the navy
of taking the bluejackets periodically to
some big port where they may enjoy
life to the fullest. The British navy off,
Gals claim to have discovered that after
such periods of hilarity the sailor is
more contented at sea. They will be
started off on their holidays by q big
Christmas dinner, including oyster cock
tails. roast turkey, cranberry sauce.
and nuts, coffee and cigars.
In the army special dinners will be
served at the various garr:sons and
posts.
