APPEALSFOR SUPPORT
OF CHRISTMAS FUND

In urging the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association to make generous
contributions TO the fund being raised
by The Star to make Christmas merry
for the 1900 District militiamen in
three camps on the Mexican border.
Evan H. Tucker. president of the asso-
citation. has sent out strong letter of
appeal.
1.-The Evening Star deserves the COM
mendation and cooperation of our cit
izens." he said. FOR inaugurating and
promoting the movement to give our
soldier boys now on the Mexican bor-
der a merry Christmas. This move
ment for a Christmas fund is worthy
of the hearty support of all citizens in
the National Capital.
'Those young men are far from homo
serving their country and are unable
to enjoy their Christmas as usual with
families and friends at their homo fire.
Sides While many of them will un-
doubtedly be remembered in a substan-
tial way by relatives. friends and per-
haps sweethearts, 1t would seem emf
neiltIy appropriate for the citizens Of
their home city to unite in showing
their appreciation of their service by
sending a remembrance which would
tend to ameliorate their privations and
sense of loneliness in their separation
from home and friends and help them
to enjoy the great Christian holiday.
"It affords me pleasure to extend to
our boys these expressions of my ap-
probation of their patriotic services
and in wishing them merry Christ
mas and to cooperate through the
medium Of the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association with The star In
sending them substantial evidences OF
these expressions"
