Returning Our Dead

e VEN IL the families Of only small minor
IL ity OF the American soldiers who died on
French battle fields will take advantage OF
the oher of the government to bring home
the remains OF those heroes means must be
found to keep faith with that minority The
French continue to interpose objections to
this plan, and measure is now pending in
the French Chamber of Deputies making
general the provincial regulations against the
removal OF any OF the allied dead.
IT may be natural for the French govern
ment to desire the permanent burial of the
dead who died on it's soil in the war to save
its national life, within the confines of the
republic. The sentiment of that country NAV
oppose the abandonment OF American or
BRUSH cemeteries, and few sordid souls
In that country may want the graves left un-
touched inducement to Americans IN
visit France But once the French authori-
ties realize how earnest the American people
are regarding the future resting places OF
the fallen soldiers, those authorities will
withdraw their objections and it is the part
or the American government to make this
view as emphatic as possible The fact al
ready has been cited that when the war be-
gan the War Department gave it's assurance
10 the families of the expeditionary soldiers
that as soon as the should end the gov
eminent would bring back the remains of all
the dead that might be requested. This prom
Use must be kept, and the generous French
nation must be impressed with the impor-
lance OF its being kept.
For sanitary reasons the French say, the
graves must not be opened for the purpose
OF removal overseas OF bodies This obiec-
ton hardly holds when 1t is recalled that the
American military authorities have been en-
gagged for months in opening graves and in
concentrating the bodies in fewer cemeteries.
When the armistice came there were about
-'aoo american cemeteries in France. That
number now has been reduced to about 700
and will be further reduced to perhans NOT

There a in Scrabblctown
Who earned dollar and nailed II down
And watched it carefully day and night,
Nor let that dollar get out of sight.
He used to read with eager zest
The inspiring words at the eagles crest
And trusted God. but for half Il cent
That's far as over his credit went.
He earned dollar and nailed it down,
This thrifty miser OF Scrabblstown.
He earned one dollar and then another,
Fearing tho world and hating his brother.
Looking in alleys where one might Turk
With holdup gun terrible dirk
And his life summed up in the net amount
On the monthly sta tcment of his bank account.
And he got rich. He buried in pelf,
And the only friend he had was himself:
And at times he doubted that friendship when
He forgot and busted rusty ten. . .
And he saved and saved till his fortune grew
To a million or more-some folk said two
Till at last he expired. all must,
Who live cash exist on trust.
Now the million two that the miscr left
Was divided among the bereaved dercft
And some OF the stuff has season gay
In the Lobster Lane OF the Great White Way;
And some few the coop by the angel route
When oiond!ned burlesque troupe went out
And some made the palm of lnserer feel
a new kind OF itch for the roulette wheel
But the dollars and dollars the m,scr had
Were good in their goodness and bad in their
bad,
And between you and me. I'm frank to say
! was dogsoned glad that they went that way.
