BISBEE BUSINESS HOUSES TO CLOSE ON MEMORIAL DAY

With more than 6O.OOO American soldiers now sleeping beneath the sod of France, Bisbees' observance today of the first Memorial Day since the ending of the world struggle for de- mocracy to which these consecTated their lives will be an informal one, undertaken by various organizations individually, without a united cere- monial expression of the city's com memoration of Americas fallen heroes.
 As a result of a proclamation by Mayor Erickson practically every store in the district will close its doors as will the banks and the post office. The public schools will be closed, but the children will not hold any exercises, as provisions were not made for the carrying out of a pro gram as a tribute to the dead
 Many fraternal organizations and other societies will honor their depart ed by strewing the graves with flow CTS, but there will be no formal ob- servance.
 In Boston, Washington, New York and other large cities and in every town and hamlet in the country the day will be set aside in silent prayer with fitting tribute to the boys who laid down their lives to make the world safe for democracy. North and South will join hands in remembering the fallen heroes of the days of '61, and the day will pass off with every heroes grave in the country adorned with bouquet as token of bereaye- ment.

G. R. s. to the mothers of the missing back home is a message of hope, voie. ed by the chief of the service, Lieut. Col. Charles c. Pierce.
 From Tours, this kindly. silver-hair ed army man of long similar expe rience as a chaplain in the Philippines is directing the activities of about 10000 men whose work is robbing death of some of its sting.
 Each month reveals more hidden graves.
 Each week identifies more ''un. knowns."
 Each day ends with more heroes laid tenderly to rest in marked graves alongside their comrades in the American cemeteries of France.
 ITO the mothers of those still listed as missing this Memorial Day would say: Be of good heart"
 Colonel Pierce explained in detail how the lost graves of American heroes are found and bodies identified and offered every facility of identi' fication.
 Tt will be comfort to many anx ious hearts at home to know just what we are doing" he said.
 Men in the field hunt out hidden graves, disinter. search for tags marks. letters. scars, photos, diaries, anything that might help identify.
 Some identifications are easy. Of tenI the metal tags are stilh worn around the neck.
 As soon as identity is established and the officers report is complete the stretchers on the "skirmish line come into use.
 Two men carry the body between them to the cemetery where the dead of this area are being concentrated

FIRST GOLD STAR WAR MOTHER HOPES AND PRAYS FOR RETURN OF HIS BODY.

when my boys body is brought back to me.
 You know, I'm getting pretty old. Since Jimmy went away l have been getting old faster than l did when he was with me. I hope they bring him back before I die"
 The first Gold Star Mother couldn't say more. Her teardimmed eyes had halted her tongue.
 . Let us remember that it was this Gold Star War Mother who refused to wear black when her son was slain in battle because she didn't want to depress the hearts of other war mothers whose sons had gone to serve their country, and of still oth- CTS whose sons awaited the call to arms.
 Some months ago Mrs. Dodd was asked by the United States war de- partment if she wanted her sons body brought back. She wrote and told them that nothing would now please her more than to have her sons body brought back to his old home and buried there.
 Since then she has heard nothing She is living in a daily anticipation of hearing that her son is on his way home-not as she had hoped he would come back when he first went away, but coming back, hero who gave his all, his life.
 Other Gold Star War Mothers have received the same formal inquiry from the government: Do you want your sons body brought back from France? If so, do you want it re- turned to your home or do you want it inferred in the national cemetery?"
 Thus far no hero's body has been returned. The government has not announced when the first will be brought back. Investigation in Wash ington resulted in finding a disposi- ton upon the part of the war depart ment to discourage the return of these boys It is said that none will be brought back until all the living sol diers are returned and not then un- less the next of kin insists. That may mean year or several years.
 In the meantime the government is wondering what it will do with the merchant marine. There are ma ny ships not now being used. They were tied up immediately after the war ended, according to. business sta tistics. They might be used to bring back the bodies of those whose pa rents ask that they be returned. It has been suggested that the govern ment should make an effort to bring back those whose parents are old, so that, as in Mrs. Dodd's case, the mother might see her sons grave be- fore she, too, is called.

THEY ARE BRINGING HEROES TOGETHER
 TN A CORNER OF AMERICA IN FRANCE

By midsummer Colonel Pierce be- lieves that the great bulk of the Amer ican dead will be assembled in such cemeteries.
 But where some identifications are easy, others seem almost impossible.
 The tags are gone. Perhaps some of the clothing and all the equipment are missing. There is no letter; no phmoto; no diary. Nothing.
 An examination is made for a scar on the body or some other distinguish ing physical mark The color of hair, height. build, shape of nose, etc, are all recorded.
 One case, Colonel Pierce told me. will probably hinge on two teeth an upper gold crown and directly un- der it a silver crowd
 The experts at Tours, checking up records and descriptions may get the case weeded down so that it lies be- tween two or three men. A letter to the families concerned will quickly determine which man had the unusual combination of an upper gold crown directly over a silver crown. both to- ward the front of the mouth. Location of certain unit at a cer- tain time may likewise solve a case reduced by other evidence to few men. And each identification makes those remaining easier
 Searchers in the Luneville district came across a trench grave. made by the Germans near Ciery last July. and marked simply: FIFTEEN UN- KNOWN AMERICANS"
 The bodies were taken up. There were no identification tags. They had been taken, with all letters and notes for the German intelligence service. Much of the clothing was gone.
 But in the pocket of one mans khaki shirt was a card announcing the birth of a child to Captain Blanton Barrett of New York.
 The body, it was later established, was that of Captain Barrett of the 77th.
 Those buried with him have now been Identified. They were l4 of the 75 men he led in a daylight raid last July, They came under machine gun fire and seven of the 75 returned alive.

boys come marching home so happy and smiling to their mothers arms and think that I cannot even go to my boys grave!
 "Only a mother knows how hard il is not to be able to see the spot where a son is sleeping the last long sleep; never to be able to kneel at his grave never to be able to lay one flower with ones own hand upon the earth which covers him.
 That's why I want my boys body brought back want him near me so can go to ahis grave. So can take flowers to him. And so I will know that his grave is we'll cared for as a mother would care for it. And so when I die, l may be laid down be side him."
 A mother is talking. A Gold Star War Mother, Mrs Alice Gresham Dodd. mother of Jimmy Gresham, first American soldier killed in action or the fields of France.
 I talked with her in her cottage home. memorial gift of the people of Evansville, where Jimmy worked and which he left to go to the heights of .glory-and his death.
 1 Jimmy is sleeping now in grave ] in France. It was the first of oul hero. graves in France. His mother may never see Jimmy's grave-un less his body is brought back home ' "I have place picked out for him, | his mother said, "here in the ceme tery. where l can go and pray by thu side of the mound every day. hop' they bring him back while I'm stil alive. That's all 1 think of now

Let the fair hand of woman weave gar lands of flowers Kissed by heavens pure sunlight in sweet morning hours. Go tenderly, gently, and scatter them where Our heroes are sleeping,-go scatter them there. Grown our heroes, the soldiers, wno sleep on the shore Where the call of the bugle can wake them no more. Men who fought to defend us-oh, can we forget The tribute of glory we owe to them yet? Bring loves fairest offerings, with tears and with prayer. And gratefully. sacredly scatter them there. Crown our heroes, the soldiers, whose grandeur and power Saved our own dear Columbia in wars troubled hour When amid the fierce struggle each soul was host, Who was ready to die lest his country be lost.

Oh! scatter the flowers Der the graves of the dead; they are yours, they are ours. Men who fought for the flag, and our foes in the fray; For as brothers they sleep, both the blue and the gray. And true to our banner, our offerings we bring Flushing roses of summer. and violets of spring.

Diver Jacobsen Did Not Find Any Additional Bod ies on the Sophia's
 Upper Decks.
MUCH BAGGAGE SEEN
Debris Prevented Him from Reaching 'Staterooms of the Lower
 Deck.

Captain Sam Jacobsen, diver, re turned to the city today on his boat the Constance, accompanied by E. P Pond, from the scene of the Princess Sophia wreck, having made two trips down to explore the wreck and hay .ng examined all of the upper decks without finding and additional bod es. He said he found a number of dead horses, and it was the legs of these which caused him to believe on a former trip that there were more bodies to be recovered.
 He found lot of baggage in the forward room. Possibly there might be body or two beneath some of the baggage, he thought, as he did not have time to examine it carefully or to move it.
 At medium tide the after part of the wreck is in 75 feet of water and the forward part in about 40 feet. The vessel as before stated, is in tact. only some of the rails. being broken. The mainmast has sprung in such manner as to. slog the lower decks with debris, and some of this must be removed before entry can be made into the lower deck state rooms.
 The diver entered and examined staterooms Nos. 1, 2.-3. and 4. all Of the upper works, where it was pos sible to get about. The Constance was accompanied by the Klopeck, which contained the divers rigging. The two boats lay in cove near the wreck waiting for favorable weather and tide conditions, and only two
