To Delay Return
of American Dead
for Many Years

Paris, Nov 24-The $4,000 Amerl-
can dead in France must be left in
the graves they now occupy until
the French are ready to exhume Their
own dead, which it is hoped, will be
before January |, 1922.
The foreign office has promised TO
consider the latest request of the
American government for the return
OF its fallen soldiers, but later the
following official announcement was
made:
1T has been definitely decided that
ellies who fell, together for the same
cause, should remain together in
death until circumstances permit OF
the returning of the bodies to the
families for whom they sacrificed
themselves"
The proposed law forbidding the
examination of the soldier dead for
three years did not pass at the last
session of the chamber Of deputies,
but the foreign office expects that it
will be adopted soon. This bill speci-
fies IA delay in examination of three
years from the PRONUNCIATION of the
law, but it is expected that this per-
iod will be shortened.
At the foreign office it is said 20
be probable that the exhumation will
begin considerably before January
1922.

Supreme Court Holds
Valid Act Creating
Corporation Body

Little Rock, Nov. 24.-In dismiss
ing the injunction granted by the
Phillips county chancery court, re-
straining the Arkansas corporation
commission from granting an indie
terminate permit to the Helena Wat
er company, the supreme court today
upheld the act creating the corpora
ton commission, and the indetermin-
ate permit clause, against which
protests have been filed by several
cities.
The effect of issuance of permit
under this clause is to take supervis-
ion of public utilities out of the
hands of municipal authorities and
vest it in the corporation commits
sion. The fight in Helena grew out
of the company's effort to increas&
water rates. The council refused to
grant the pedmit, and the company
surrendered it's charter, obtaining an
ndeterminate permit to operate from
the corporation commission.
The supreme court reversed and
remanded the case of the city Of
Lonoke against w. Y. Bransford and
son, who obtained an injunction in
the Lonoke chancery court restrain
ing the city from collecting certain
fixed water rates.
The case of O. l.. Barner vs. VIM
Sager, from Arkansas chancery, was
affirmed.
