ing to letter from Col. b. F. Chatham,
chief quartermaster of one Of the
American units in France, which has
been received by a friend in this coun-
try.
In acknowledging gifts of money from
New York which had gone astray for
SO long period as to prevent their use
in Christmas celebrations for children
in France, Col. Cheatham wrote:
THE Christmas party was more OF q
success than we had any idea of its be-
ing. The division contributed 10000
francs, and we had thirty-two Christ
mas trees In as many towns, each one
completely decorated by the enlisted

some kind of warm clothing. from an
infants sack up to dresses, suits OF
clothes and heavy overcoats and capes
for the older ones. Then every child
(some 10000 was given toy and the
candies, etc.
AFTER it was all over we turned in
5000 francs to our orphan asylum,
which one of our regiments had already
agreed to take care of SO long as it
was in France.
1.-The trees caused the greatest en-
thusiasm among the children and
grown-ups, and have cemented an al
ready strong friendship between the
men and the people. It was lot of
work. as you can imagine, but mighty
well worth while. One Of the big things
was the spirit it brought out in the
men themselves, and there were no I'M
pleasant Incidents; every one was sat
1Sded and happy"
