If the bodies of our soldier dead ever
are to be returned to their home
burial grounds in a sanitary and
recognizable condition; If the moth
ers and fathers Of America ever
again are to see the faces of their
loved ones who offer up their lives
on the altar of civilization: IL their
minds are to be forever free of the
fear that the body of stranger may
have been sent to them in error; II
our private soldiers are to be ac-
corded. the same honor, care and
sympathetic treatment given the
bodies of officers, and if we are to
have the privilege of appropriately
honoring our martyred dead. then it
is only reasonable that professional
men who have made the care OF the
dead their work should be sent to
the battlefields and trenches.
The Purple Cross, composed of IL
censed undertakers and embalmers,
who have progressed in their pro-
fession far beyond those of other
countries volunteer to make this
expedition at their own expense.
They are prepared to send to the

tain them and their dependents. A
petition asking Congress to pass a
bill enabling the undertakers to. do
this has been circulated widely and
will be presented shortly in Har-

takers that the great majority of
