WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 23.-The American dead,
sleeping in the soil of France, will re-
ceive the homage of the American army
on Memorial Day. Many of those who
have given their lives for their coun-
try were buried in graves over which
shells and bullets are flying, close to
the spots where they fell. But wher-
ever they are resting, their comrades
will bear them in mind and pay tribute
t. their memory.
Throughout all the zones in which
there are American soldiers plans have
been made for ceremonies, in which
the French will participate in nearly
all cases. At one place is a row Of
mounds under which lie sons of New
York. Men of the same regiment will
gather there to replace the faded Amer
lean flags with new ones and deposit
wreaths of fresh flowers.
Similar ceremonies will take place at
the graves of boys from other states
