The Burial of the Tuscania Victims.


 A correspondent of The Associated Press who reached Scotch seaport, Monday, with two American officers, after perilcus voyage from Ireland, is able to give the first account of the last moments of many of the American victims who perished as a result of the Tuscania disaster and os pathetic incidents attending their bur jial on the bleak and rocky shores of this barren coast.
 The correspondent today assisted in the burial of sixteen Americans, bringing the total of those buried thus 1 far to 145. Fourteen bodies of Amer jeans were recovered today and will | be buried tomorrow. The bodies of eight members of the crew also have been recovered.
 l The burial was at the waters edge at the base of rocky cliffs and was picturesque in the extreme. All the l tiny villages for miles around were ir mourning for the Americans. and farm and fisherfolk came great distances to attend the ceremonies. Twenty five American survivors of the disaster who had been left behind for the pur- pose, assisted the natives in digging the graves into which the khaki -clad troops tenderly placed their dead con- trades.
 l Looking down from the top of tht cliffs three hundred feet above stood the mourners, headed by a British colonel and an American. private car. rying an "Old Glory" made for the .oc- casion by a group of Scotch women

who on learning that the Americans had no large flag, obtained small silk handkerchief edition of the flag from a sergeant and remained up all night copying it on large scale.
 Two ciergymen came many miles and read the Scotch and Episcopal services, after which volunteers fired three volleys, which re-echoed against the hillsides. While this was going on, Sthe only photographer within twenty miles photographed the mourn CTS.
 The ceremony was much the same as was carried out at the same spot on the previous day. when thirty -four Americans were laid at rest in two other graves. So badly mutilated were many of the bodies that. two American army officers, who were sent here from London expressly for the purpose, found it impossible to take finger prints for Identification purposes. Wooden crosses. with distinguish ing numbers have been placed on each
 grave. all of which are enclosed by l temporary fences.

GERMAN ALIENS WHO
 DID NOT REGISTER
District Attorney Spellaey Says They
 Win Be lnterned.

"Any German aliens who have will fully neglected to register will be in termed" said United States District Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy Monday, ''but where their non- n-registrat;on is not wilfu1 and is the result of misun- derstanding of the requirements or doubt concerning citizenship status, they will be given an opportunity to register and thus escape arrest by federal authorities"
 MT. Spellacy cited the case of one man born in Alsace- Lorraine of French parents who did not consider himself an enemy alien. and that of another born in Germany who was naturalized in Russia and who considered himself a Russian. Under United States law both are German aliens. and are re- quired to register, but if the Alsatian happens to be a member of one of the Alsatian societies in this courtry he may, under recent ruling of Attorney General Gregory, have the words len emy aline" erased from his registration card
