There is little disposition here to
credit the reports that the conven-
ton signed by Bulgaria will enable
the allies to use Bulgarian troops.
Existing reasons, it is said, would
prevent such a step. The first Is the
size Of the Bulgarian army, which
numbers not more than 100000 men
and the second is the antipathy toward
the Bulgarians by both Serbs and
Greeks, whose armies fought so vail
antly and aided so much in the defea,
of the former common enemy.
There are sufficient allied troops
on the Macedonian front, military iner
say, to take care Of any situation
which is likely to arise.

ANOTHER TRIBUTE
TO WILEY BURFORD
Continued from Second Page

overlook even a funeral in their I'M
quenchable thirst for more victims.
The first shot failed to produce
casualties among the mourners, and
before another shell came the party
had scattered into, nearby dugouts
and bombproofs. In few minutes the
mantle of dusk covered everything.
and in the stiffness of the approach
ing night one could hear the steady
beat.of shovellers filling in the graves.
Sixteen Americans fallen in action
are already in that cemetery, which
was started only few weeks ago.
The graves with a rough wooden cross
at the head of each stretch along a
wall which surrounds the centuries
old burying ground back of a church
where the French worshipped before
the village was battered into shape
less ruins. Ammunition is piled a
few yards away and gun emplace-
ments are nearby. Shells have knock
ed down the stone crosses over the ola
graves. Torn wreaths and the floral
designs of glass beads so frequently
seen in French cemeteries are scat
tered over the ground and big shell
craters pit the once neatly gravelled
walks. The old cemetery is filled and
the Americans are starting one OF
their own.
The funeral was typical of that
which many soldier will receive be-
fore the war is won. The plain coffin
was brought in an ambulance from
the billet. After it came a truck
loaded with soldiers who had been in
the young officers company. Only a
few could be spared; the others were
on duty, for death does not permit a
halt in the days harvest. Several Off
GERS stole few minutes and hurried
from the battery emplacements to

pay their last respects to dead COM
rade.
No tears were shed at this funeral,
no sobbing women followed the bier.
The mothers and sisters and wives or
these heroes mourn thousands of
miles away. Grief there was among
the dead officers comrades, but it
was grief mingled with determination
to even the score.
Six soldiers carried the coffin to the
grave, and the regimental band play
ed "Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul" Then
the chaplain of the regiment stepped
forward, and as the silent group un-
covered he said the Catholic funeral
service in clear voice. Overhead hos
tile airplanes were exchanging ma
chine gun volleys with shrapnel
bursting in puffs about them. From
the distance along the line of the
front came the echoes of artillery fir
ing, but it seemed as if here was one
little spot which the worldly hates
and jealousies, aroused by the great
maelstrom of war, ought to spare.
The thoughts of every one at solemn
ceremony were far away. Then came
the German shell. The enemy over
looks no chance to bring back the
bitterness of war into human hearts.
Special Attention Given to the Grave
In private letter, under date of
April Ia, the correspondent adds the
following:
Lieut.. Burford, according to his
comrades, was intensely eager to take
an active part in the fighting. That
zealousness was indirectly the cause
of his death, just as it is to greater
or lesser extent the cause back of the
deaths of all those who die honorably
here. His colonel and his fellow Off
GERS speak in the highest terms OF
him.
"The picture in the Literary Digest
| of a French priest officiating at an
American funeral is not a picture OF
Lieut.. Burford's funeral. The serv-
ices at that funeral were performed
by the Rev. Francis P. Joyce, chap
lain of that artillery regiment, and

the advisory board of your organiza-

scription of the funeral as published
in my cable of Feb. Is. The cemetery
is in little ruined village, a few
miles northwest of Toul, within range
of the German guns and shelled al
most daily. Another cable from me
on March z, described how flowers
had been placed on these graves by
girls from the Salvation Army and
when | saw Chaplain Joyce two days
ago he told me that all were marked
with headboards and stone copings
around the mounds. Officers have
given special attention to the grave
of young Burford"

M0LLUsKs MAKE GOOD SOUP.
Thrown Up on Florida Beaches by the
Waves They Are Collected and
Sold to Hotels. =

Along the Florida beaches a very
common and familiar kind of rock is
wholly composed of the shells of a
small species of mollusk, oval in shape
and half an inch long. 1t is called
~'coquina," and is hard on the feet if
n walks owe it without shoes.
In beds below the line of low tide
are mollusks of the same kind, alive.
Their bivalve shells are pink, blue and
of other colors, quite brilliant, so that
in places the beaches are beautiful to
the eye, great numbers of them being
thrown up by the wave alonT the
shore.
Under such circumstances they soon
die, of course, leaving their pretty
shells to adorn the strand. But there
are always plenty of live ones at the
waters edge, and tllo are gathered
in quantity at some the winter re-
sorts by boys who collect them with
rakes and carry them in baskets to the
hotels for sale.
They are used for soup, being
pressed to a pulp in order to extract
their Juice. The latter, strained and
heated, affords a very delicious table
beverage known as "coquina BROTH"
1t is particularly recommended for in
valids and persons with weak diges-
ton.
