Here's New Fate for Dog;
Hair to Become Cloth


Columbus, O.-Tlere comes the
information that dogs wool
association has been forrned-an
organization to promote the
production and quality OF the
fleece of dogs for Industrial PR
poses. But, to have been strict
ly correct, II ought to have been
called a dogs hair association
and not dogs wool association.
There Is vast differences be-
tween hair and wool.
II Is stated that hair II such
dogs as the spaniel and Peking-

cially valuable, and that when
mixed with wool produces
splendid fabric. DoC hair Is not

Wearing gas masks. the workers dig
up old graves as a matter of duty.
And in great many instances they do
much more than their duty.
Consider. for instance, what was
done with cemetery of more thnn one
thousand bodies CT Poisy on the
Aisne. Every army order had been
faithfully and carefully carried out
The workers had made thorough
search of the surrounding country.
They had identified and buried the
thousand bodies. The graves We're
marked off in regulation plots Of PAS
with n cross over each. Gravel paths
We're laid out through the cemetery
according to regulations Of the G. X. s
Technically the Job was finished In
workmanlike style. But the soldiers
wanted to do something more. And
they did.
They searched through rlany piles Of
strapped metals at salvage dump
and collected iron rails. They begged
or borrowed cement, and then they
built a reinforced concrete wall around
| the cemetery.
| Then they made trip to timber
patch nearby, found the tallest ard
straightest tree, cut 1t down, stripped
1t Of branches. painted 1t white, and
planted it in the middle of the little
cemetery for flagpole. Flowers were
planted around the base of the pole.
And Old Glory was swung into the
breeze.
Bodies to Come Home.
1t was officially announced in the
midst Of the war that "the final tlspo-
sition of bodies will be considered and
executed as an entire project at such
time, probably after the conclusion of
peace. as the vastness and difficulty OF
this almost inconceivable task may
make possible"
There was another announcement
that return Of bodies to the United

gardlng final disposition Of the dead
no bodies were returned to America
1t was announced officially here.
The idea should not get about that
the graves registration service WAS
working solely at finding unburied
bodies left on the field md IN The
trenches after the rapid advances OF
the allied armies during the autumn
of 1918. Virtually all of the battle
field dead were given burial within
very short time after the engagement,
unless. percllance 1t was physically

made as carefully as circumstances
permitted. Even in the Argonne. amid
underhrush and deep thlckets, the
graves were made by careful squads

tion cross and identity tag.
German Graves Undisturbed.
Here In the Argonne sector the Ger
man graves are thick. IT is difficult to-
tell, While journeying through the re-
J gion, whether cross is meant to-
mark an allied mound, or the grave OF
an enemy soldier
In all France the most elaborate
military graveyards are In the ST.
Mhiel salient near the town of ST.
Mhiel, where the German dead lie bur-
led beneath costly gravestones re-
.sembling monuments In modern city
cemetery. Evidently the Germans he
forever.
Many Of the German graves are
marked with large headstones. On
these stones are typical cemetery fig
ures, such as Grief. pictured as weep
ing woman.
Beaded wrenths, entwined artificial
flowers, decorate most Of the head
stones; untarnished by wind. rain or
snow. Where appropriate. there Is n
replica of the Iron Cross. in black.
Possibly half Of the graves are so
marked.
Every respect is given these ccmc-
teries by the allied army Of occupa
ton. No wreath is touched. and no
headstone marred. which In Itself fur
nishes comparison Of allied and Ger
man methods--since the Germans, in
many sections of occupied France
lrade a systematic campaign of dis
hcnoring French cemeteries by tearing
down grnvestones md actually destroy
ing the graves themselves.
II will be many dry before all Of the
American bodies have been moved
from The rondsides and fields Of France
to the selected burial grounds. II Ia
Il certainty the French will always
revere these spots where American
bodies are Inferred. which are monu-
mcnts to the American sacrifice that
made Frances future safe from Roche
domination.
The day has not yet arrived when
American visitors can visit the Ameri-
cnn cemeteries. But 1t Is TO be expect
ed. unless congress orders every body
removed to America. TINT thousands
will visit these spots where rest In
peace the American soldiers who

Service Study Of the off cial state
ment containing a translation of the
report from Count Won Bernstorff.
German ambassador to the United
States, 20 Chancellor Won Pethmann-
Hollweg August %, 1916. discloses In
teresting details of the part that the
count and the foreign office PLAYED
in German inttigues in the United
States. The report gives further evil
dence regarding the use of Wolf Won

ment. Proof that the money used in
their intriguCs was paid with the nc
ouiescense of the German chancellor
If not at his order, is contained in

It is disclosed that Albert had
charge of much German money and
that Won Bernstorff wished to Feep
him in the United States because
there is absolutely no one clsn at my

Count Won Bernstorff mentions par
ticular directions in which Won Igel
and Won SEal apart from their serv-
ices for the care of intelligence, car
ried on various commercial measures
introduced and already partly con-
cluded by Won Papen."
The ambassador refers to n law
suit then pending against Won Igel on
account of his participation in the
conspiracy to destroy the Weland
canal and says it is out of the ques-
tion TO dismiss him. He expresses

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT 1T
Application For Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch
with the public. there is one prepara-
ton that has been very successful in
overcoming these conditions. The
mild and healing influence Of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the highest for its re-
markable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is SO common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. 1t is on sale at all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes, me-
dunn and large.
However. if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DIR. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, N.
Y, for sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention the Albuquerque
