men have merited such distinction, and
fewer still have lived to receive their

Like errant waves my thoughts do go
And wander miles away from me,
To reach a land upon whose shore
They may at last come home to
Thee.
To you they turn when, tired of strife,
They crave and seek the boon OF
rest
From al 1.-The many trials of life
From harsh DEGREES and fate's hard
tests.
But still no craven thoughts are these,
Nor do they play coward's part;
Refreshed and soothed by you they
Their swords and with stout hearts
depart.
God grant that when the fight is DER
And reputation's bauble won,
They turn again to your fair shore
To rest till time itself is done.

ports that when he was at the nation

take the place Of the regulars which
would eventually be called away from

Mr.. Castle says that all the depart
ments at Washington have more work
than they can attend to. The question
of expenditures is also causing con-
siderable comment and may result in
a congressional probe, he says. When
he visited the attorney general Mr..
Castle says ne closed up like a clam,
the presumption being that he did not
wish to hear any criticism against any
of the local office holders.
While in Washington Mr.. Castle
visited his son, w. r. Castle, Jr., who

Every soldier and every child at the
entertainment received present.
The latter received toys Of all sorts,
building blocks, canes, horses, auto
mobiles and dolls. From the children
Of officers to the children of the post
servants, not a single one was neg
lected in the gift giving.
After the gifts we're distributed a
number of Christmas carols were
sung by a triple quartet consisting Of
twelve enlisted men, and the Holy
City" was sung by Corporal Wilson
Of Company NJ, supported by the quar-
tet These we're followed by eight
reels Of movies, featuring Anita Stew

o'clock Chaplain Winter loaded the
triple quartet into a big truck and a
round of the post for carol singing
was made. The whole post from the
1st Infantry to the 25th Infantry and
