 The victims are to be collected at the most suitable place and buried there. A boat left Liverpool today with material for collins. fifty laborers and carpenters and schaplains to conduct the funerals. Each grave will be marked and charted so that it will be possible to locate each man later.
 There were a few cases among the dead where Identification was delayed. Every man had worn an identification tag on his wrist or neck, but in some instances these were torn off and it was necessary to take finger prints of the men.

East of ffRheims!the lSuippe river has been crnssed by the French at nu merous l1aces. West of the Argonne Forest, wkich now is held by the French and Americans, the Germans are in retreat and number of addi tioral towns and villages have been taken by the F'ranco-American forces. East of the Argonne and along the Mouse valley, the Americans are still progressing satisfactorily.
 The retreat of the enemy along the thirty-fve miles of the western line from E'ouai to the southeast of St. Quentin is still too fast. except on iso- lated sectors. for the foot troops of the British, Ameracm and French, to keep in contact with him. The cavalry and tanks on the plains and through the wooded ssoetors, however, are talk ing terrible toll from the rear guards while still farther back allied airmem are cutting to pieces the columns of the bewildered foe as they try to make their way to their next defense line The machine. gun seemingly is being chiefly depended upon by the, Ger mans to hold back the foe as. their main forres retire.
