Great. One of the last acts of his life,
within a few weeks Of his death, vas a
voyage down the Euphrates to the

miles below Babylon. This sluice had
been constructed by the ancient AS
syrian kings to let off the water OF

to be working well, and Alexander pro-
posed to construct another sluice low

! beautiful program was given each
worshipper, containing the hymns and
the program of the ceremonies. 4,
The service closed with the bene-
diction. and the wonderful singing of
America, and as the band played "The
Star Spangled Banner" each person
present stood at attention as a tribute
to the nation and the nations God
and thus the service closed.
The ancient custom of visiting the
barracks to greet the commands took
place, custom which dates back TO
the old feudal days, when the feudal
lord dined with his retainers. Many
of the barracks were daintily and ar
tistically decorated with evergreens
and, bunting, and the tables were
tastefully prepared with the dainties
and yiands appropriate for the day;
notable among the decorations should
be mentioned those OF d Company, 3rd
Regiment Engineers, and K Com
panies, End Infantry, which had re-
CURED much time and labor to pre-
pare, but which repaid the efforts of
those in charge in the beauty of the
mess halls and the delight of the men.
Practically every organization had
q printed menu, while several of them,
II Company. c Company and NJ Com
pany, had prepared small booklets
which contained the menu for the
three Thanksgiving Day meals, the
names of the officers and non-commis-
stoned officers of the companies, the
roster of the present organization, and
historical synopsis of all campaigns
and battles in which the organization
had taken active part, which made a
keepsake for the men worthy of the
day.
Headquarters Company, the Machine
Gun Company, Company D. End Infan-
try, Company D Engineers and Sig
raj Corps, O.. NJ. and Supply Company,
and Company A, End Infantry had pre-
pared beautiful menu cards decorated
with scenes of interest and reminis'

membrance of the happy day present

everyone that Fort Shafter never en-
joyed happier day and one for which
the was greater need and cause for
