GAVE EACH SOLDIER A DOLLAR

James H. Chaimian Surprised and Delighted Company M. Just before mess call Tuesday evening James H. Chapman, accompanied by a few friends, went to Camp Kurrie, where Company M is quartered, and presented each member of the company with a brand-new dollar bill, amounting in all to $l3B. That the gift was, genuinely appreciated by the soldiers was evidenced by the hearty cheers that rang out for Mr. Chapman, and the many kind remarks that have since been made regarding the act. The company is putting in long hours each day in drilling and a little spare change with which to buy refreshments and delicacies during their short respites helps wonderfully to brighten the lives of those who have responded to the call of their country.
