Writes Poem of Thanks.

One of the most interesting of these
was the following poem. which was
written by James L. Goddard of Come
pany G of the Sd District Infantry
shortly after the distribution of the
gifts yesterday morning. 1t is entitled
"A Word of Thanks From Company Ga
IT'S good to be n soldier
And serve your country true.
IT'S good 10 know where'er you go,
Your friends remember you.
We're down here in the border land.
Many, many miles away.
But still we're not forgotten
On this glorious Christmas day.
Some of us with lonely hearts
Are thanking OF this day.
Many. many years ago.
Before mother was laid away.
How we'd run to see our stockings.
All hanging in row,
To see what dear old Chris had brought.
Because he loved
Some thought as all their dear ones
Had long been laid away,
There'd be no to think of them
This year Christmas day.
But when down the line the word passed.
Fall in for Christmas gifts,
THAT don't mean me- some Of US said.
For I've received my last.
What's that. you say. gift for me7
This surely can't be right.
For | have left. YOU see.
To make things look bright.
You say it's from the folks back home.
And they sent it here TO mef
Here, boys three cheers for dear old Washinstons
Three cheers for old ID. Z"
Dear friends. we wish to thank you.
For kind thoughts and presents. too;
They warm our hearts this Christmas day,
As nothing else could do.
We wish You a merry Christmas.
And your loved all dear.
We also hope that yol will have
happy. bright New Year.

Make Deep Impression.

Every one agrees that the outstand-
ing feature of their Christmas here in
the borderland was the distribution of
the Christmas remembrance from the
citizens of Washington yesterday morn
ing Nothing made quite so deep an
gifts purchased by the people of their
home city with the fund raised through
the efforts o. The Star. They We're
pleased both with the contents of the
Christmas packages they received and
with the sentiment attached to them.
The thought that the citizens of
Washington should unite in remember
ing the men of the National Capital who
are doing their bit" here in the border
land has made a lasting impression
one that they will carry with them
through life.
That the men should be pleased with
the choice of articles contained in their
Christmas package is due, in d large
degree, to the advice given the repre-
sentative of The Star. who made the
purchases in behalf of the citizens of
Washington. by men here in camp who
are ia a position to know the wants
of a soldier Various officers were con-
suited and while all aided, the most
valuable assistance was received from
Lieut. Col Anton Stephan, exchange
officer of the Sd District Infantry.
Tell your big sellers on the eX-
change. These are the things the men
want the most and there can be no
better use to which to put the fund
which the citizens of Washington have
raised through The star than to spend
it in the purchase of the article you
will name"

Great Volume of Packages.

Christmas started for many of the Dis
trict soldiers several days ago. when the
first big shipments of packages from
home began to arrive. Chaplain Smith
had planned to get the mems permission
to hold these at the Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing adjoining, and distribute them
Christmas eve, but in short time be
realized this was out of the question,
because of the volume of packa ges ar
irving. If he had attempted TO keep all
the packages there would have been
room for nothing else within the build
ing. In one mail delivery alone there
were fifty-four big bags of pa"lIa ses. and
mail deliveries are made here in camp
twice every day.
Many of the soldiers opened their
Christmas packages as soon as they ar
rived. but others adhered to the wishes
of those sending them and did not vio-
late the do not open until Christmas
instructions on the wrappers. Those
who did this, however. had the pack
ages opened and the contents examined
within "a very few minutes after the
bugler sounded first CALI yesterday
and aroused them from their slumbers.

Tex. December 26.-The District mill
tiamen in this camp Will never forget
Christmas of 1915 1t has been an eX
perience that is entirely new to all of
them. Even Top" Moore. veteran col
or sergeant and perhaps most beloved
man in the whole regiment. acknowl-
edges he never saw anything like il
before. And TOP ought TO know. for
the records at headquarters show that
Charles w. Moore, color sergeant, is the
oldest man in point of years and al
most the oldest in point of service in
the command. Top" is a veteran of the
regular army and has seen many
Christmases come and go. but the one
through which he is now passing has
something on them ALL he says.
Il never thought 1 would receive a
Christmas present that represents an
united expression from the citizens of
my home CITY," said Top" and he is
but one of more than eleven hundred
District militiamen who have voiced
like appreciation for the gifts received
in the name of the citizens of Washing
ton which were provided by the fund
raised through The Star.
Inquiry among the men of the Sd Dis
trct Infantry and of Troop A of Dis
trict Cavalry develops that few If any
of them had any ider. they would be
here in the border country at Christmas
time when they held up their right
hands back at Fort Myer last summer
and swore to stick to Uncle Sam
through thick and thin. The impress
sion apparently prevailed at that time
that Christmas of 1916 would find the
District militiamen bacl. from the
border seated by their home firesides
telling the folks all about their life
under canvas; how they consumed
great quantities of army beef and
beans. caught armadillos and burned
their tongues on the various forms of
liquid fire that Mexicans love to eat.

Some Feared Christmas.

1t was not until about Thanksgiving
time that the District soldiers began to
think seriously of what Christmas here
in the borJerland would mean to them.
Many of them now acknowledge that
at that time they had fears as to what
was in store for them. The prospect
was not inviting.
But today there is not a man among
the eleven hundred and more militiaulen
from the District of Columbia in camp
here who hesitates an instant to come
out with the broad statement that the
Christmas he is spending has surpassed
his fondest expectations Scores of men
have been heard to remark that already
they have received more Christmas re-
membranes than would have been the
case if they were at home. and all are
not here yet. for the mails have become
so congested as the result of the great
volume of packages pouring into the
borderland from all sections of the coun-
try that further deliveries of gifts are
expected yet.
