Correspondence Christiansted St. Croix. The Editor St. Croix Avis. Dear =ir;— I heard that the graves, in which sons and daughters of old Denmark were lying, (some tong neglected,) were to be pnt in decent order, by order and at the expense of the Home Govern- ment. I strolled through the cemetery in Christiansted to see how the work progressed, and was agreeably surprisad to observe that gond progress was baing inade in this most thoughtful task. Old and tunbled down tombs are being either repaired, or the slabs gathered up to be removed and placed against the Ceme- tery walls. That portion of the ceme- tery where the military were buried, I undarstand is to be railed around and a monument erected to mark the resting spot of the old soldiers. This is as it should be. 1 would only suggest that the trees growing among the graves be cut down and roots removed, as these roots are continually breiking up the mason work around some of the araves. It should be 2 matter of much gratifica- tion to friends and relatives of the de- parted to learn that tne last resting spo. of those theyv once loved 1s neither ne- glected nor forgotten. 1 remember after the Spanish Ameri- can War of 1898, the Unrited States Gov- ernment sent out a squad of professional men to Pto. Rico and Cuba, to_sxhune and recoffin, the remains of all American soldiers dying abroad on aetive service. It must have been a deep satisfaction, to many parents, to lay their boys in the home piot. Many were buried in the National (Cemetery at Arlington. No one can say U cle Sam forgot or neglect- ed the boys that made the supreme sacri- fice for ‘‘Old Glory’’, and it is & sincere satisfaction to observe, that '‘Qld Danne- brog’’ is doing all that zan be done, or the decent memory of those who served their King long loag ago. 1 have no doubt that those who have the matier in hand will make fa good ending o it, and a short Comtnemoration Lutheran service, would I suggest, be a ficting completion to the good work. There are many of us yet, that have assisted at the last rites of those, we once knew so well. Yrs. faithfuly 1. GRIGG.
