Speculation as 10
Disposition Hun Cemetery
Near St. Mihiel Salient

with the American Army on the Lor.
raine Front Sept. 2o.-By the Associate
ed Press. Speculation is rife in the
American army as to what will be the
disposition Of the German graveyard
found just northeast of ST. MihieI
which, though eloquent testimony to
! German regard of honor for their dead
may easily be considered offensive to
the French.
The chief reason for this is that all
the German graves have been surmount-
ed by elaborate marble or granite head
stones bearing prominently the Iron
Cross and eulogistic inscriptions con-
corning the heroic deaths OF the invad-
ers. There are some 80 graves in all
and each of them has over 1t a large
stone. except six, which have wooden
crosses
