BR|NGDEAD HOME,
DC WOMAN URGES
Widow of Lr.CoI. .Griffiths WOULD
Have American Women Band
To Get Yank Bodies.

lust returned from France, where
she visited the grave of her husband, !,
Lieut. Col r. H. Griffiths. who died
in action. Mrs. Anna NJ. Griffiths has
written to The Times letter in which
she urges that the widows, mothers
and sweethearts OF men who are
buried in France organize with a.
view to have the bodies of American
dead returned to this country.
The body of Lieutenant Colonel
Griffiths is inferred in a little ceme-
terry at villers Tournelle. He was a.
Spanish-American war veteran.
From Amiens to Villers Tournelle,
writes Mrs. Griffiths, takes an hour
end a quarter by automobile. l saw
two old French cemeteries, a small
French cemetery-just a small garden
full of white crosses-and further
along was an English cemetery, with
about 100 little white crosses. Then
came the American cemetery, which
is about the same size as that of the
British. In other words, 1 saw five
on that ride.
Thirty Men As Guards.
"In order to take care of this little
American cemetery, our Government
supports at Amiens a small camp of
about thirty officers and men. with
Ave automobiles. The automobiles
need repairs about twice week.
Wherever the American goes the
prices soar upward, so the American
is not popular with the peasant
classes. The little camp of thirty
men-good Americans--is somewhat
isolated. France has a shortage of
coal, and the thirty men are very cold
and uncomforta ble-in fact, blue with
cold. They cannot even get warm
water for shaving purposes.
Bring these few American bodies
home from this little cemetery and
inter them in Arlington, and they
would need no guard"
Mrs. Griffiths says that thousands
of acres of ground now utilized for
cemeteries could be released for culti-
walton by the French if the bodies of
Americans were returned to this coun-
try.
Many British Tourists.
France is filled with the British.
! who go as tourists or to visit the
graves of their fallen, Mrs. Griffiths
says. Americans are unable to make
the journey, she says, because OF the
distance and the expense.
Here are some intimate facts as to
travelling in France which Mrs. Grif
| fths furnishes:
During the war, any woman could
travel with officers Jand men ex ept
| their wives. So it is now. Any woman
can go to France except the wives.
Our Government has not arranged
transportation on transports for the
wives of the fallen. although German
brides are given first-class accommo-
| dation
"The transports are filled with these
women-war brides-while wives OF
the fallen who went over at all haz-
ards are stranded in England, made to
get a berth on the regular liners"
There is no difficulty, Mrs. Griffiths
! asserts, in getting transportation OF
| tourists. but wives of the American
| dead are forced to make the best CT a
| difficult situation.
