| Of them still abroad in service. are
from the nature of things. take a lively
interest in the New York boys This
wasn't entirely due to the fact that they
| were New Workers. but because, being In
the city when they enlisted. very many
of them got in the habit Of volunteering
for entertainments to help THE SUN
Tobacco Fund.
| SO 1t happens that in the great parade
to-day many personal friends OF THE
SUN Tobacco Fund will march. The fund
will recognize many OF them In the So5th
Infantry. whose musicians and singers
| have been active in its aid at parties
now historic. and almost the entire 3o6th
Infantry is numbered among the donors
of this fund. Their band, their double
quartet and several individual perform
ers of great merit appeared at THE Sun
| fund parties to the advantage OF the
| fund in entertainment and receipts
while this regiment was awaiting or
ders to sail for Europe.
In fact. 1t was possible for the 3o6th
and THE Sun Tobacco Fund to be mu-
| tually helpful during those months The
| fund is proud to think II had the oppor-
| tunAty to arrange the details for tho
| Thanksgiving ball given by this regi-
ment in New York city only short time
before the men sailed. 1t obtained for
| them the hospitality of great hotel.
where the ball took place. and It
worked out the plan Tor the affair. even
including the detail OF the printing.
THE SUN Tobacco Fund was glad to
have the chance to do this. since the
beneficiary of the ball was to be tho de-
pendents OF the men OF the 3oSth re-
quiring assistance. And the fund felt
! also that the boys who had always
shown a generous spirit in Its aid moro
than deserved to be helped in turn
Praise for the Brave.
Thus wherever THE SUN Tobacco
Fund may stand to-day to overlook the
| marching men it will salute friends
| And as everybody knows this feeling of
comradeship lends n special emotion to
| the general one caused in every patriotic
heart by the marching by Of our brave
| troops. THE Sun Tobacco Fund means
! to enjoy itself TO the full to-day. II
| intends to add its voice to the scene of
| rejoicing as II was pictured by con-
| tributor to this fund before the battle
was won when he sang:
Oh, the tramp OF feet victoriousi
Oh. the flags, the banners ,gloriousi
The bells the shouts the salvos wild
That greet the regiment!
The smoke fund already has received
| some postol cards mailed in this coun-
| try by men OF the 3O6th and IL has
heard by telephone OF the Intention of
several TO make call here at the first
| opportunity. The latch string Is out to
| the limit
Meanwhile cards arrive from the boys
| who are not in this parade blu, who are
| enduring their inconsistencies as bravely
as possible in Europe. One from Private
| w Skahill was dated April Is at the
| First Provisional Convalescent Bat
talon at Camp D'Anvers. France. 1t
| reads: II am in receipt Of some tobacco
which was so kindly sent to US by THE
| SUN Tobacco Fund. Many thanks for
1t. l can assure you the feeling is very
kind for THE Sun in everybody over
here connected with the A. Z. F. who
has at any time been fortunate enough
| to be IN on share OF THE SUNS To-
bacco. With fond hopes OF being lucky
enough to see the Statue of Liberty be-
! fore next Christmas, | am yours CRATE
