different points on the Scotch coast.

many mile in downpour of rain to
pay their simple tribute to the Amer

The bodies were brought to the burial
place on one big motor truck, which

miles long by n squad Of twenty-five
khaki-clad American survivors, and the
village mOurners.

followed by the natives singing God
Save the King" The usual military
salute was then fired, ending the cere-
mony.
Temporary fences have been built
around the graves, to be replaced by
a permanent enclosure as soon as the
materials can be brought to these desc
late shores. A British colonel who has
worked day and night since the disaster
helping the American bury their dead
announced today that the people Of the
nearby countryside had started a public
subscription to erect a permanent mon
ument to the Americans.
