BELIEVE SPIES
 ACTIVE WITHIN
 AMERICAN LINE
Associated Press)


 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Mar. 1S.--It is the belief of the army intelligence officers that one or more spies are working in the midst of the American troops now on the fighting lines in France. Evidence has been uncovered which indicates that a spy has been active in the region northwest of Foul.
 A sentry on post Sunday night ob- served the flashes of signal light from window facing the German positions in this latter sector He immediately fired at the light and dashed into the house. Although there was no mode of egress 10 be found save by the door which was entered by the sentry, no trace of anyone was found on the premises.
 The intelligence department also announced today that important tele, phone lines within the American po- stions were recently cut. and were out of commission for some time. This Is the third time that wires have been tempered with since the occupation of this sector by the American forces.
 There is strong undercurrent of anger sweeping the troops over the affair. and close watch Is being kept by all men to endeavor to To- cate the guilty person or persons, and 1t is likely to go hard with any one seeking to betray the Americans.

les of soldiers who are killed or who
die on foreign service has been con-
sidered by the War Department and
the Navy Department in conjunction.
The committee. considering this mat
ter went into the case in all it's as
poets and it has been decided that
the bodies of our soldiers, sailors, ma
rines and civilian employees who are
killed or die in France cannot be re-
turned to this country for interment
until after the close of the war. Gen
eral Pershing has arranged with the
French Government for sections of
the country to be used as military
cemeteries, and the Quartermaster
Corps has organized and are now OPP
Grating in France certain organiza-
lions called Grave Registration
Units. The units are charged with
the duty of buryingl the dead, caring
for the cemeteries, and the Identified
ton records of those buried. This
is done in such a manner that there
will be no confusion or doubt as tc
the identity of any soldier now bur
led when his body is taken up to bt
transported home after the war. Fol
obvious reasons, no other conclusion
could be arrived at under existing
conditions, the main feature being
that of ocean transportation. The de-
