VIEWS ON THE CARE
OF j. s. HERO DEAD
Letters For and Against Re-
turn of Soldiers Bodies
From France.
To the Editor Of The Star:


Miss Ruth Putnam, in her letter to
The Star. printed November 13, states
that there is something repulsfve
about the idea of such wholesale
transportation" to this country of the
remains of American soldiers now
buried in France.
I, as a mother Of a boy buried in
France. would state that there is
nothing repulsive to me in this under
taking, but rather sacred duty to be
performed with the conviction that
we are but fulfilling the wishes of our
brave boys. who gladly died for their
country.
To one who is not personally inter-
ested in this undertaking I will admit
that the theory of allowing our boys
to lie where they have fallen. and, as
stated in the article referred to, ITO
be cared for by our men retained in
service" in France, is indeed very
beautiful. However, it is commonly
reported fact that these boys graves
are not tenderly cared for by their
comrades, but instead their remains
are being disinterred and placed in ma
tional cemeteries, by German prison.
ers of war, and handled in way
which, to every true American, must
seem a desecration. I am fully con-
vinced that. in honor to these boys, we
should imm ediately return their bodies
to this country, where they will be
cared for, by those they loved.
Mrs, L. M, GREEN.

A Fathers Protest.
To the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t seems. to me that those who clamor
for the removal of our dead heroes
from French soil are not looking at
the question from a correct viewpoint:
My contribution to the victory gained
is as great as any. because the boy
who gave his life for the freedom of
the world was all I had to give. and
would have been added to with my
own life had 1 been in a condition to
permit of my taking part in the strug-
gle: therefore I feel that 1 am in a
Everybody with whom I have spoken
on the subject seems to feel as I do,
and that is. that the removal Of the
bodies of those we really loved could
add nothing to their honor or peaceful
rest" The work Of removing those
bodies will necessarily be done by men
who had little or no share in the
actual fighting. and whatever service
they give will be only a disagreeable
duty, robbed of all the sentiment we
involuntarily attach to such an under
taking. and needlessly renew the pain
we experienced when the first news
of our great sacrifice reached US. The
men who laid our loved ones to rest
were sharers in all the hopes and
feelings of those they SO carefully
performed the last rites for, and they
undoubtedly feel something as do
IN the matter OF the apparent Sacrllege
proposed by removing their heroic
comrades. Our departed heroes have
sanctified the soil of France with their
blood, the space their remains occupy
has been hallowed by their Being
buried near where they fell, the chill
dren of France have named their rest
ing places ''the silent fields" and We
who have all we owned sleeping there
can never realize any other appropri-
ate grave than in the land where they
offered their lives for humanity. If
the large sum required to meet the ex-
pense of removing those bodies must
be expended. let it be put into a great
memorial building in the National
Capital, where a hall could be re-
served for the records of every man
who made the supreme sacrifice, some-
thing for future generations to admire
and look to as a fitting memorial to
those who bought freedom with the
best they owned.

BIG HOTEL Project
MAY FALL THROUGH
Options Lapsed on Property
Bounded by H, and 18th
Streets and Conn. Ave.

washington's $5.000.000 hotel prof.
ect looks very much like an ambitious
failure. ,-
Many options had been secured on
the square bounded by II and I streets
on the south and north and Connecti-

west and east and a preliminary de-
posit made. the optional agreement
providing for the second payment to
be made last Saturday.
Walter Russell of New York, well
connected and with apparently ample
backing, secured these options. and
the most pretentious plans were made
for a great hotel on the site named.
Saturdays payments under the pro-
visions of the option were not made.
Some local bankers expressed the
opinion that the parties back of the
project would revive the oDtions with
in few days. but the best available
information is to the effect that, the
parties back of the negotiations have
been SO seriously disappointed in the
matter of expected loans that they
cannot see their way clear to going
on with their plans.

been exercised in Identifying those

The danger of importing European
