In reply to your inquiry as to what
action will be taken toward having
the bodies Of the soldiers who are
buried on foreign Soil returned to the
United States for interment, / beg to
inform you that this matter has re-
ceived very careful consideration by
this Department. Every possible safe
guard has been exercised to identify
each body, and wherever practicable
each grave has been plainly marked
and a careful record made Of its To-
cation, name of occupant, organiza-
ton to which he belonged, and the
name and address Of the nearest rela-
tive
You can rest assured that as soon as
it is possible to do so, the body of
each soldier buried in foreign soil will
be returned to the United State, un-

MONEY BEING
WASTED HERE
ON CON v|CTS
Commissions L. w. Hardy Saws
County Funds Being Spent
Unnecessarily.
SUGGESTS CAMPS
BE CONSOLIDATED
Three Camps of Prisoners Can
Be Maintained in County
for Cost of One.

Charging that unnecessary expen-
ditures OF the county's money are be-
ing made in the present system of
handling convict camps in Escambia
county, commissioner L. w. Hardy
has ISSUED a statement IN which he
suggests consolidation Of the camps to
decrease the costs of road building.
Although there are but four con-
victs in the camp which is located in
the district represented by Mr.. Hardy.
the expenses for guard, night watch
man and cook are practically as much
as they would be in large camp the
commissioner says.
Z Under the present system of man
agement the cost of operating this
camp of four convicts is SEQ monthly
With the same cost in the other two
camps the total cost is $500. By a
consideration of the three camps this
expense could be reduced by at least
$3.50, by Mr.. Hardy's plan and he has
issued the following statement for the
benefit OF the many Escambians who
have been inquiring as to why more
economical means OF handling the
road work is not used:
Mr.. Hardy's Statement.
For the benefit of so many people
that have asked me the question why
we did not consolidate the convicts
camps and what it cost to operate, first
will Say that the present board has
in our opinion tried to do what We
thought was for the best interest OF
the people. Further I want to say
that we have worked very harmon
ously together, have never had any
friction and while we differ in opinion
on subjects, We have never had fric-
tion.

up the true aggregate, and the man
who comes nearest to it takes the
