A new permit must be presented

the un-Amcrican idea OF having to
have a permit to swim in waters
that belong to them and all the
people. but ii gives them the priv

BURIAL PROTEST
Delay Action on Law For.

American Dead.

The law proposed in the French
Assembly which forbids the re-
moval to the United States of the
bodies of American soldiers buried
in France was held up. it was
stated yesterday, because of a pro-
test by the War Department.
The objections to the law on the
part of the War Department were
sent to the State Department which
has been looking after the inter-
ests of those concerned in the
United States. 1t Is a fact, as re-
Gently stated that the French law
has not passed the Assembly, but
1t was learned that there is a
proclamation, which is just as ef-
fective, pending action by the AS
sembly. If the bill fails it is un-
derstood the objections will be
dropped by France.
The attitude of the War Depart
ment towards bringing home the
dead has undergone a change since
vote was taken on the subject
by the families of the men buried
in France. The officials for a long
time were in favor of leaving the
bodies in France. 1t was decided
however, that the wishes of the
relatives were the real test fol
action by the War Department.
One of the officials said yester-
day that the government has now
about S7.50o,O00, with which to be.
gin the work of repatriating the
dead as soon as all the technical

been removed.

been instrumental in bringing about
the fulfillment OF the prophecy. for
God has brought down the great an
tagonistic power, arrayed against
righteousness and order. and, the
Turkish Empire has dried up"
DR.. Roome pointed out that no ef-
