ception OF the case on the ormand
place, which turned out to be nothing
serious.
The origin Of the disease which was
at first supposed to have been brought
by a negro soldier from Camp Jack
son, is a matter Of some uncertainty,
as the doctors got information OF a
probability that the first case may
have been brought into the neigh
borhood from North Carolina
Dr. Bermer gave both DR.. Dulin and
DIR. Walker careful instructions as 10
exactly how to proceed in the matter
of drawing spinal fluid for the pur-
pose OF determining the presence OF
meningitis and also as to how to make
the injections Of the serum that has
been found to be an almost absolute
specific.
All Of the people who were known
to have been exposed to the contagion
were quarantined and every known
precaution was taken to guard against
the spread of the contagion; but the
locality in which the attack occurred
must be kept under careful observa-
ton for a week or two yet.

PARIS, Nov. Thy Mail)-On the
wooded slope of a hill that rises in a
bend Of the Seine Just on the edge OF
Paris, there is a little cemetery that is
doing much to weld another link in the
chain Of friendship binding France and
America.
Among the 700 graves OF soldiers in
this cemetery are many graves OF
American boys who have succumbed to
their wounds in the hospitals in the SUI
burbs Of the city.
Almost every one OF the American
graves has been adopted" by some
French family, which takes care OF the
grave as though one OF their own dead
lay there. Many families have adopted

French Folk Tend TO Our Boys Graves

clude besides the care Of the grave,
an effort to get in touch with the rela-
tives OF the dead hero In America to
tell them about the resting place Of
their fallen soldier.
Every one OF the adopted graves is
tended scrupulously. Fresh flowers are
placed frequently and the American flag
at the head OF the grave is renewed
when IL is faded. On Sundays It is not
unusual to see a dozen French women
In deep mourning, sometimes accom-
panied by a troop Of sober-faced chill
dren, reverently caring for the grave
OF an American who has fallen on the
soil Of France.
When a military funeral draws up to
the gate Of the cemetery and tenderly
deposits another flag-draped coffin, the
children gravely salute and follow the
little procession to the new grave, and
stand quietly while the chaplain reads
the simple ceremony and the bugler
sounds the final requiem.
