USE ALIENS AS
GRAVE DIGGERS
Plan Suggested to Take Them Along
With Army to France and
Set Them to
Work,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
HOUSTON, Texas, Jan 4.-There
are 800 alien enemies in the prairie
division. Most OF them are so by
choice. They have had opportunities
to become citizens Of the country in
which they have been living, but
have preferred to cling to their
fatherland.
Their names have been tabulated
and they have been listed, SO that
the hands of commanding officers can
be laid upon them at any moment.
Requests have repeatedly been
made to Washington that instruc.
lions be given as to their disposition.
No orders have been received.
A way to utilize the alien enemies
in this division has been found. It
has been suggested to the war de-
partment that they be made into a
burying squad for the division.
The idea Is to take them to France
when the division goes, under guard.
keep them under guard when thew
get there and then, after battles. to
make them dig the graves In which
the loyal American citizens will
sleep.
1t Is obvious that there will be
American deaths. The remains must
be buried. 1t will conserve the

FLETCHER IS
REPRIMANDED

Antilles,

limited Press Leased Wire Service. !
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Rear AID.
mfral w. B. Fletcher. formerly in
charge OF the navy convoy system
abroad, has been relieved and ordered
home as a direct outgrowth Of the tor
pedoing of the American transport An.
TILES. This fact leaked out today, a
considerable time after its occurrence,
following charges OF Representative
'Britten, ILL.,, that the Antilles was
sunk through navy negligence.
Rear Admiral Fetcher-not the
Fletcher OF Vera Cruz fame-did not
have sufficient convoy at his disposal,
it Is claimed, but 1t is a mooted ques-
ton in navy quarters whether Admir-
al Sims. chief Of European operations,
provided sufficiently.
In any event 1t was held that
F1etcher's removal was advisable.
No court martial was held, so the in.
'cident does not stand oficially against
his record.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels refus-
ed today to make public F1etcher's
name or to discuss in any way the
outcome OF the Antilles case.
