AMERICA TO BRING HOME
HER DEAD IN YEAR 1920
War and Navy Departments Have
Reached Agreement on Plan
of Transportation.

All of Americas soldier and sailor
dead will be returned from the battle
fields and hospital cemeteries of France
at the expense of the federal govern
ment in 1920. This is concretely the
plan of the war and navy departments.
The custom of bringing home the
bodies of American soldiers has been
the nations policy for generations.
Even before the United States casualty
lists assumed present proportions and
many months before any sort of a meas
ure of the number of dead could have
been taken, Secretaries Baker and Dan
iels ratified an agreement that the pol
icy should not be abandoned in the
great war. Every son of America will
be brought home to rest forever under
the Stars and Stripes, and in national
cemetery If it be the wish of surviving
members of the bereaved family 1t
will not be possible to begin the disin-
terment of American dead for at least
a. year.

CoBLENZ, Germany. June 20
Eight hundred pounds of horse meat
is one of the items confiscated when
Germans, attempting to smuggle food
into unoccupied Germany. were
caught by sleuths under Capt. Neane
Acres. the intelligence officer of the
LIST Division. Since the Army started
to sell foodstuffs the Germans who
snuggle over the line have done a
fiourishing business. The smueglers.
who attempted to conceal delicacies
in cars laden with merchandise. were
ferreted out by the interallied rail-
road commission. who are located on
every bridge across the Rhine, and
one of these aided in digging out
the hidden edibles. However. the SOL
dier's own nose detected dozen
sacks of coffee hidden under tons of
German crockery.
The soldiers III the bridgehead area
have the difficult job of watching
every road and path across the fields.
Usually small quantities of food are
hidden in carts or under the clothes
of pedestrians. The largest single
haul was made when a five-ton truck
loaded with food attempted to cross
the line or the "a DIVISION.

unoccupied Germany at fabulous
profits. are the largest single item

ing an average of 100000 weekly.
Chocolate is next with 1900 pounds
weekly, then soap, 1000 pounds; cof-
fee, 500 pounds; lard. 500 pounds. The
fact that horse meat is used accounts
to some extent for the high prices re-
ceived by the Army for condemned
mounts. All struggled goods is con-
ffscated. and that which is perishable
is distributed to the burgomasters for
the poor. The rest is returned to the
Army sales commissaries and resold.
The money is treated the same as
fines collected in a court martial.

The brown bread of Holland is so
deficient in quality that consumers
and bakers are sending protests to
the government about it. A society
of directors of municipal laboratories
for investigating foodstuffs has de-
cided to call the attention of the
ministers to this danger to the public
health.
At Maestricht twenty persons died
after eating brown bread. In Amster-
dam the bread has an offensive odor

is baked. Some persons blame po-
tato flour, others the pea -four. which
are component parts of the government

Of grain -four is being imported the

be made to eat inferior stuff simply
because the government mixture can
