The Christmas of the American soldiery is sym

United States entered the without the slightest
thought of territorial expansion Of reaping huge
indemnities. We entered to stand on the side OF
humanity against inhumanity; of law against law
lessness; of right against might. We entered to
help bring back light and happiness to darkened
France, Belgium. Serbia, Rumania. We entered,
also in our own defense part Of the general aim
of defending democracy against autOcracy.
So, on the day when throughout American there
were Joyous and wholesome and innocent festivals,
as our soldiers paused in their grim business OF
war they brought an American Christmas into the
lives and hearts of thousands of saddened bereaved
yictimized French children and families. The stall
wart men in uniform shared their gifts and their
happiness with the less fortunate people around
