TOURS, France. May 29-"There
lies your hero, beneath the proud
white cross
To be able to give that comfort to
the dear ones of every American SOL
der who died in France-to locate
each green mounds the goal set for
Itself by the Graves Registration
Service of the A. e. f.
The Memorial Day message of the
G.. r. s. to the mothers of the missing
back home is n message of hope,
voiced by the chief of the service,
Lieut.. Col. Charles C. Pierce.
From Tours, this kindly. silver
haired army man of long similar ex-
perience as a chaplain In the Philip
pines is directing the activities of
about 10, 900 men whose work Is rob-
bling death of some of it's sting.
Each month reveals more hidden
graves.
Each week identifies more "un-
knowns."
Each day ends with more heroes
laid tenderly to rest in marked graves
alongside their comrades In the Amer
lean cemeteries of France.
ITO the mothers of those still list
ed as missing this Memorial Day,
would say: BE of good heart"
Colonel Pierce explained in detail
how the lost raves of American he
roes are found and bodies identified.
and offered every facility of identif-
cation.
ut will be a comfort to many anx
ious hearts at home to know just what
we are doing" he said.
Men in the field hunt out hidden
graves. disinter. search for tags,
marks, letters, scars, photos, diaries,
anything that might help identify.
Some ide~ntiications are easy. Often
the metal tags are still worn around
the neck.
AS soon as identity is established
and the officers report Is complete

Plan for Shore Dinner.

Past Regent Truman Gano gave
the report of the recent Grand Coun-
Gil session at a meeting of Middlesex

the stretchers on the ''skirmish line
come into use.
Two men carry the body netween
them to the cemetery where dead
of this area are being concentTz>
BY midsummer Colonel Pierce be-
lieves that the great bulk Of the Amer
ican dead will be assembled in sucn
cemeteries.
But where some identiications are
easy, others seem almost Impossible.
The tags are gone. Perhaps some
of the clothing and all the equip
ment are missing. There is no letter.;
no photo: no diary. Nothing.
An examination is made for a scar
on the body or some other distinguish
ing mark. The color of hair, height
build, shape OF nose. etc.. are all re-
corded.
Wit must be accompanied by q true
copy of discharge certificate, certi-
fed as such by a recruiting officer, or
the soldiers original discharge certi-
ncate, the latter to be returned with
check. Men who have submitted cer-
titled copy of discharge for payment
of $50 bonus and now on file in Zone
Finance Office may so state and this
will be accepted. Payments In all
cases will be made as expeditiously as
possible.

Can Get Travel Allowance

Tan Gct IfaNcl
The matter of additional travel al
lowance for discharged soldiers is now
being settled by the Director of FL

rendered April II and May 3. 1919, au-
thorizes the War Department TO make
settlement of all for the one-ceut diff
ference from place of discharge to
place of entry into the military ser

After due Investigation of
their qualifications, Mayor Dur
bin has appointed two former
soldiers as members of the police
force and the alderman have
confirmed his action. In our
Judgment this policy is one
which merits commendatlon.
The boys who gave up their jobs
to fight for their country de-
serve every consideration now
that they have returned, and If
they are qualified for such posi-
tions there is good reason for
thus recognizing them. The re
sponsibility rests upon every citi-
zen to do his part in assisting
to find Jobs for our fighting
men an dthe latter may well be
favored with such public posi-
tions as may be available for
them.

the members Of a few Of the
committees are working faith
fully.
The plan of procedure we are
suggesting is that followed by
practically all successful com
mercial bodies in their town
building activities. The citizens
of Chiekasha have subscribed
something like $1,000 per an
mum to carry on the work Of the
Chamber of Commerce and it
is folly to pay out all this
money without pursuing plans
that will produce results, At
the present time, with so many
new opportunities opening pc
fore the city, there are too many
important smatters requiring Sc
rious attention for us 10 tackle
our problems by antiquated, hit
and miss methods Our Chamber
Of Commerce is well organized
and has sufficient funds for its
purposes; all we have to do is
to adopt practical business meth
DDS and set the machine to
working efficiently. The fine
spirit Of enthusiasm and CO.
operation which has been mani
tested in recent meetings is
very encouraging and is abso-
lutely necessary but we should
not be satisfied with any meet
ing unless it accomplishes some
thing tangible for the advance
ment of the city.

eight undesirable aliens, Secre-
trry of Labor Wilson made it
clear that the immigration law
under which he acted is going to
be rigidly enforced. His letter
was addressed to a local Of
the international Association of
Machinists from which the pro-
test had come and Mr.. Wilson
took occasion to remind the
union that the immigration act,
which authorized deportation,
was strongly supported by the
American Federation of Labor.
In his letter, the secretary said
in part;
cit is my intention, as secre-
tary of labor, now that the un-
usual danger of sea travel IS
over, to carry out the clear pro-
visions of the law; first, because
it is my sworn duty to do so,
and second, because any for
eigner who comes to this country
and advocates the overthrow of
our form of government by force
is an invading enemy who is
treated with great leniency when
he is simply deported to the land
from which he came.
When our own citizens desire
to change the form Of govern
ment, they can do so peaceably
in the manner provided by the
constitution. If we cannot make
progress by the peaceable pro-
cess of discussing and voting, we
are not likely to make any prog
ress by the riotous process OF
cussing and shooting. The man
who cannot be depended upon
to vote right can not be depend
ed upon to shoot right.
"Those you refer to as radi-
Gals are being sent out Of the
country because they have been
found advocating the overthrow
of our government by force.
They have had every possible OPP
portunity both at the places
where they were originally ar
rested some time ago and at the
departmnt in Washington to de-
fend themselves against the
charges made under the immi-
grafton law. All were freely
granted the privilege of en-
ploying counsel. Some did 50;
others declined; but all, irrespec-
tive Of whether or not they en-
ployed counsel were treated
fairly. as the department never
acts or allows any Of its otfi-
cials to act as prosecutor, but
simply as an agent to ascertain

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ACTIVITIES.

A fine spirit was in evidence
al the Chamber of Commerce
meeting this week and some i'm
portant business was transacted.
There is no doubt that the bring
me Of the citizens Of the town
together to consider common IN
tercsts is productive of good but
too often such gatherings devel-
op into something like the " Sit
and-Argue Club, resulting in
much talk with little definite ac-
ton.
We take the view that, except
in special cases which might
arise, when the membership OF
the chamber is called together
it should be for the purpose OF
doing something definite in ac-
cordance with plans previously
worked out by the board OF di-
rectors and committees To open
a subject for general discussion
and then refer it to a commit
tee. the report of which later
calls for further discussion, can
only result in interminable talk
and delay.
For example, the Cement road
matter has been pending for
many months but when it came
up at the last meeting of the
organization there was still no
comprehensive plan of action in
view. This condition win con
tinue until the committees get
down to business and do the
work which must be done In
fairness it should be said that

ayailed themselves of the oppor-
tunity. Most of them preferred

The policy Of the labor depart
ment will be approved by all
who wish to see the democratic
development Of American lnsti-
tutions continue. There is no
place in this land Of freedom Tor
the man. home born or imported,
who would institute force for
the ballot as method of bring
ing about reforms. To consent to
the presence Of such men and
women among us and to permit
them to ply their trade, is to
invite such conditions as exist
in Russia under the bolsheyix
regime which is utterly needless
Of the rights of the individual.
Our laws are by no means per-
feet and our constitution re-
quircs tinkering from time to
time but our system Of changing
things that don't suit us, is 50
far superior to the murderous
Russian methods that we are not
going to exchange it for the
bolsheyill plan.
