AMERICAN DEAD IN FRANCE.
Graves Are So Marked That Iden-
tity May Soon Be Lost.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
You have recently shown, and with
effect, how solicitous the War De-
| partment is for the welfare of our
| MANNED soldiers at Walter Reed Hos
| pital. By publishing this communica
| ton you may call attention to the
grateful care bestowed upon the
graves of our dead in France.
1 am informed by one who has just
returned from France, where he Wis
| tied the grave of my son, that it is
marked by a wooden cross on which
| was written" without the Christian
names or initials, simply Lieut.. Nc
Coy, So and that the writing was
nearly effaced by the rain. My in
formant tells me that he rewrote
the~name so that it probably viii not
be obliterated apd wrote my name
and address on the cross as an added
precaution.
My son died five months ago at
field hospital located at Pierrefonds,
and is buried in the American section
of the French cemetery at that place,
which is not one of the devastated
cities. The engagement in which he
was wounded was fought several
miles away. Three hundred and fifty
Americans lie buried there as closely
as possible. Near my son sleeps an
other soldier named Mccoy. I state
this to emphasize the danger of con-
fusion.
Fearing the loss of identity, I en-
deavored several months ago through
a French lady who was good enough
to take an interest in the matter to
have a simple stone placed on my
sons grave, but she was told by the
American graves registration serv-
ice that this would not be permitted.
and that we need have no fears, as
the service had suitably marked the
grave, and SO permanently that 1t
could always be identified.
Bulletin No. 10 of the graves reg
istration service states among other
things that the government had I'M
dertaken to do everything which is
humanity possible, and that friends of
the dead need not fear that any dam
! ger of losing a grave is involved in
the temporary withholding of infor-
nation as to it's exact location. That
circular says also that it is not per-
mitted to erect any permanent
monument during the continuance of
the war.
/ am writing, not to accomplish
anything for myself. as arrangements
have been made with resident of
Pierrefonds to care for my sons
grave but for the purpose of calling
| this matter to the attention of the
public, ana especially OF heinpers VI
Congress, knowing that they are
grateful for the sacrifices that have
been made and anxious to show their
gratitude. This communication may.
also warn those whose relatives are
buried in France to take steps that
will save them great distress. OF mind

getting ready to leave. there came a
telephone message:

his wide breast. He said that he was

demobilization was completed he
would resign. He would not speak of

because they made me fretful-the
past history of the good German peo-

Still did not believe. When got to

great general staff lis quartered,
alongside the palace which the recent
kaiser favored, and in which Napoleon
III was quartered after SEDAN be-
gan to have a little hope. We met and
Ludendorff's successor:
'WiIl it be possible to see Marshal
Hindenburg?" we asked.
Not probable" said Won Groener.
TN any case, / am talking to you in
his name and you have his authorize
ton to use what / say as though it
came from him. But I will ask If he
will see you"
After a time Won Groener came back
to the ornate, igh-ceilinged, deep
carpeted room, hung with Hohenzol-
ceived US. He tried to temper the
wind of refusal to the shorn journal
istic lambs. The marshal, he said,
was not well, and he was very busy,
and. besides, he was not at Schloss
Wilhelmshohe at all. He had gone
to the country.

night as we sat at dinner in a very

Gil came in to see US. He was a pre-

Hindenburg Still an Idol.

/ snickered to myself as I went
away. l did not believe-not for a
minute-that this twenty-four-year-
old bank clerk could issue orders to
Hindenburg, and / knew enough of
Hindenburg to know that without or
ders he would see US all where the
Lusitania is before he would consent
to receive us. Hindenburg is still the
idol of the German people, as much as
he ever was. The kaiser has fallen,
and Ludendorff is almost in hiding.
and Won Kluck is just pitfful, but Old
Man Hindenburg's place in Teuton af-
fections has stood the wear and tear
of time and war.
He is a good soldier, for one thing
his enemies concede that-and he
never liked the kaiser and the kaiser
never liked him. Just now that is a
strong recommendation to popular
favor. Most of all, though, Hindenburg
is what the Germans themselves call
"echte Deutsch"-true German. He
was fat. lusty, loud-voiced. jolly old
man, who spent his time in beer hall
with his cronies when he was retired
for having demonstrated that the kali
ser was a f1ivver as a general in the
Breslau maneuvers. He liked wurst
and cheese. and stories fold in broad
tones, and humping music Soldier
and civilian alike love Hindenburg.
The verb is not too strong.
