 COMMEMORATE
 ARCONNE FOREST

The odd hundred Knights of Co., Iumbus Secretaries in France who are assisting in the salvage work which is being directed by William J. Multi gan, Chairman of the Overseas Work have completed the task of sodding and making secure against the. Euro pean Winter the graves of thousands of American soldiers.
 One Of the largest cemeteries-that at Romagne, in the Argonne Forest, where 17,0Q0 of the boys are burie q has been carefully taken care of by the K-C secretaries at the behest of Chairman Mulligan.
 Assisted by many of the peasant folks who came from miles around where they live in their battered hamIets and towns, the Knights have placed new sods and timber to sup port the flowery mounds which mark the final resting place of each Ameri- can hero.
 Many of the old men, women and small children had been under the iron rule of the Germans, and were liberated by the American forces.
 All of the graves which they are so eager to keep orderly are the fna! resting places of the Americans who made the supreme sacrifice in their behalf.
 A cable from MT. Muligan stated that all the French residents of the Meuse-Argonne district made Sept. 26 a holiday to comm emorate the dash and pluck of the American Army. Il was the first anniversary of the great offensive marking the final stage ot the War.
 The harvest and fields were abar- doned by the simple peasant folks who travelled in small wagons and afoot to the Romagne Cemetery Some of the farmers brought small paint paiIs to re-decorate> the wooden crosses and markings on the graves In the Rhineland, the Knights and men from the regular army stationed there have taken splendid care of the cemetery.
 Fully 15,00o doughboys made the supreme sacrifice in the Argonne. Meuse fight The offensive went or for forty-five days o1 until Nov. Ii 1918.
 In several towns the French gov. ernment has appointed committees tc take care of the American graves All Of the men doing salvage work with MT. Mulligan have been directed to look after the remote buria grounds where 1t has been found i'm | prudent to remove the remains t l larger burial places.
