RED TAPE IN WAY

|Of U. s. SOLDIERS
Permissions Of Mayors and
Departmental Projects
Must Be Had in
10000 Cases.

Paris, Nov. 28.-The presen,
American bureau of graves regis.
tration will be taken over by Colo.
mel Harry F. Rethers, recently
named mortuary officer for Europe
who now is in London. He will
replace Colonel sKremer, who is re-
turning to the United States early in
December.
There is no law or decree pre-.
venting the removal of nearly 20
600 American dead from the ''in-
terror zone," but the red tape in
volved in getting the authorize
ton of mayors and departmental
projects in each individual case
makes it necessary to devise a plan
to get authorize ton from the gov
ernment if 10000 Americans are to
be removed from the interior zones.
The proposed law to postpone ex-
'humations probably until Janua->.
1922, would, however, prohibit the
removal of the bodies from either
the war or interior zones. One ar
ticle of this law, which the last
chamber of deputies did not reach,
provides exceptions in the case of
previous agreement with Frances
allies.

to employ unless schools are pro-
vided to help him upward.

desirable.

night shifts of eight hours, who did
