Many Delegates Discuss Plans
For Continuing Work
in Peace Times

With the address by Countess
Laura Turcyznwicz at the House of

which the differen> phases of the
work were discussed. The meetings
of this morning were gone over at
the last evenings sessions and an
outline of the program presented.
The session this morning opened
at the Civic Club at o'clock and
was presided over by Charles Scott,
Jr., division manager, and ]. w.
Foust, assistant division manager,
both of Philadelphia. 1t was largely
through the efforts of these two men
that the one-day conferences, which
are being held throughout the dis
trict, were arranged.
The subject of "p:::biic Health
Nursing was presented by Miss
Susan Francis, of Philadelphia. Miss
Francis has had much experience
with the work of which she spoke
in Philadelphia and laid suggestions
before the delegates from this Sec
tion which will be of great value to
them in carrying on their work.
G. p. Wyckoff spoke on Home
Service" and explained the work
of that department in detail, telling
of the great assistance it has rem
dered particularly to demobilized
soldiers during the past summer.
Mr.. Wyckoff likewise spoke of the
criticisms directed against this
branch and explained the mistakes
which most people made through
ignorance of the work.
The question of Health Centers''
was carefully gone over by J. H.
Tobie, of Washington. who compli-
mented the Red Cross for its sue
cessful efforts IN ablishing nu-
merous centers of this kind through
out the country. w. L. Garwood, of
Pittsburgh. presented the Junior
membership side and urged keen re-
cruiting for that section OF the Red
Cross.
Countess Laura Turcyznowicz. who
spoke this afternoon, is one of the
most forceful speakers on the Red
Cross to-day. The Countess was
forced to receive Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg when he made his sue
cessful advances into Poland during
the early part of the war. He and
his entire staff were quartered at
the castle of the Countess.

and the cemetery.

and the cemetery.
Sometimes it was a regular military
+ cemetery or and old French burying
ground More often it was a field
hospital. or on the battlefield itself
For each of these graves, however iso-
lated, plans were put into effect at
once for its care. Today no less than
1000 laborers are employed in keeping
the graves in order. Many of the
cemeteries have been beautified since
November II. Although some of the
burying grounds will be abandoned
when the remains they contain are
transferred to larger cemeteries, the
same care will be given them until
that time comes as will be given the
permanent ones.
The War Department announced
some months ago that where specific
request is made by relatives, bodies
will be brought back to America and
delivered without charge to the en-
ergency address given by the soldiers.
Some War Department officials ques-
tion whether it is wise for relatives to
insist on having the bodies brought
home. Owing to the scarcity of ship
ping and for other reasons it may be
several years before the remains can
be safely returned to America The
bereaved relatives and friends are
asked to remember that besides the
$4,000 bodies of Americans lying in
France. approximately 100000 Brit
ish and 100000 French are buried in
the general vicinity of the battlefields,
not to mention the millions of Germans
and Austrians. The French govern
ment feels that any wholesale distur-
bance of graves would be likely to lead
to serious sanitary conditions.
For the American bodies which will
be left in France the War Department
plans ultimately to lay out a great cen
trail cemetery which will be known as
the American Field of Honor 1t will
be located on the most beautiful site
obtainable and all that nature and art
can contribute will be availed for its
perfection. It is the hope of the Army
that individual American cities and
States will not insist upon erecting
monuments of varied and conflicting
style on this field. Instead, the War
Department will ask the authority of
Congress to erect a single shaft, rival
ing in beauty and grandeur the majes-
tic shaft to Washington in this city. 1t
will signify the glory of Americas
sacrifice to liberty.

formation concerning the graves of

GRAVES OF OUR DEAD
RECEIVE TENDEREST CARE

Few of the mothers and fathers
wives and sweethearts, and daughters
and sons of the men who died in
France appreciate the tenderness with
which this great Army of ours is tax
ing care of its dead Few know of the
infinite and painstaking care with
which the graves of each and every
one of these men has been sought for
and located. Few have been told that
by writing to the proper military
authorities they can obtain not only
information as 10 where their dear
ones lie buried, but photographs OF the
individual graves. Service sucn as
this which has distinguished the Am
erican Army from all others, has
made it not only a tremendously et1-
cient force in battle, but tremendous
ly human organization.
Some 1864 identified dead out of a
total of 74,7OS Americans killed and
missing have been buried in France.
The graves which contain these bodies
are scattered through 1000 cemeteries
some of which enfold the bodies of only
a few American boys; others several
thousand. The work of classifying the
gone ahead with speed and thought
ness since the armistice was signed
The reports. taken as a whole, COM
prises what is considered mere an eA-
cellent record by the Graves Registra-
tion Service of the Army and the Am
erican Red Cross.
Major H. r. Lemly, in explaining
the work, said that each soldier who
went into battle wore two tags about
his neck the tags giving his name,
rank, organization, number and identi-
fication number. When bodies were
buried one of the tags was left attach
ed to the remains, and the other was
placed on a small wooden cross erect
ed at the head of the grave, or, in the
case of dead Jewish soldiers, on
small, siX-pointed star, wooden, sim
ilarly placed. In addition there has
been inscribed on each cross or star
the same Identification marks as on the
tag as a double pTecaution. The crosses
and stars are the same for high rank
ing officers as for privates. 1t is the
army's boast that after death there is
no distinction as to rank The rela-
tives of every man buried over seas
can rest practically assured that SER
vices in accord to his religion were
said as he was laid to rest. While
battles ragged and death stalked across
every field, chaplains were always on
hand to see to this. Few exceptions
to this rule have been cited. It was the
chaplain's duty also to record accu-
rately the name, rank and organiza-
tion of man whose burial he conducted
and to send his report directly to the
Graves Registration Service with a
description of the location of the grave

CURRENT COMMENT
No Free Tickets to America.

Self defense makes necessary the
continuance for some time by the
United States Of the existing stringent
passport regulations. The House Of
Representatives, without opposition,
has agreed to extend the emergency
war time control of passports for one
year after the declaration of peace
This measure is supported by both Re
publicans and Democrats, on the ground
that it is a necessary safeguard against
the swarm Of bolshevist and other agi-
tators who are planning to make the
United States the scene Of their future
activities.
Reports from American diplomatic
and consular agents abroad describe a
host of undesirables who are waiting
the first available opportunity to come
to the United States. Europe to-day is
on the brink of social anarchy Agita-
tors and extremists multiply fast in
the chaotic conditions that face the
greater part of Europe. It is inevitable
that such men should seek wider field
for the carrying out of their theories
in the comparative calm of the United
States.
Considerations of national safety de
mand that the federal government take
steps Immediately to prevent an influx
of undesirables Agitators enough we
already have in our midst. To add to
them indefinitely from the reservoirs
of Europe would be to extend hospi-
tally to those seeking the destruction
of our government. The passage by
Congress of bill temporarily restrict
ing the issuance of passports will make
| it extremely difficult for undesirable
aliens to settle in the United States.
Our legislators will then have time to
consider permanent measures which,
while encouraging desirable immigra
ton, viii aim to keep out of the
United States those who have no inten-
ton of becoming law abiding and use
full American citizens. Boston Tran

LIBERALISM IN JAPAN.
Certain Intellectual and Economic
Forces Making for Democracy.

W. 20 hA aAAo A~~SAANAAA~~
Forces Making for Democracy.
1t was European Imperialism that
taught Japan that the only way in
which ii could be respected was to be
strong in military and naval force. Not
its art nor the exquisite courtesy of ITS
people nor its eager curiosity gave ia
pan the rank of one of the big FIVE at
Paris. And none of these things brought
triumph to its diplomats there. Until
the world puts less confidence in mill
tary force and deals out justice inter
nationally on some other basis than
command Of force, the progress OF de-
mocracy in Japan will be uncertain,
because in Japan more than any other
country the strength Of political rcac-
tionism centers in the army, in the
ideas which it breeds and in the Off
Gals who come, willingly, or unwill-
ingly, under its influence
But, barring outside events, two
great forces are working on the side Of
liberal ideas and institutions. One is
intellectual, the other economic. Japan
is trying, under the leadership of its
present rulers, an impossible expert
ment. II recognizes It's dependence on
the West for material, technical and
scientific development, and welcomes
the introduction of western ideas and
methods so far as they concern these
things. But it is trying at the same
time TO preserve intact its own pecu-
liar moral and political heritage; it is
claiming superiority in these respects
TO anything the West can give it. 1t
is another chosen nation, unique in its
origin and destiny With. extraordinary
toughness and tenacity it has managed
somehow to conserve the feudal and
even barbarian morale and politics Of
the warrior, while it has borrowed
wholesale the entire scientific and in
dustrial technique of the world
But no nation can enduringly live a
double life; Japan shows everywhere
the strain of this split in its life Nor
can the Japanese, even with all their
power OF resistance, indefinitely shut
out the entrance of genuinely western
ideas and aims. These have crept in
and are expelling the traditional ideas
in spite Of the most incredible, reac-
tionary system of primary education
the world has ever known. The first
fruits OF this creeping in is that release
Of liberal ideas which accompanied the
defeat Of Germany. As one of the in
tellectual leaders of the new Japan
puts It, the change that has cone er
Japan in the last year is not drscrib-
able in words; it is intellectual, moral.

Barrels Department of Social Work.

Editor, Barre Times: In behalf of
the Barre department of social work
may we correct any possible miscon-
ception of its activities by the follow
ing statement?
While this department began with
the clients of the overseer of the poor
as nucleus, its interests are by no
means limited to these clients. Rather
it aims at constructive service in all
individual and family problems that
are naturally met by associated char.
tiles, where such organization exists
Though still lacking certain elements
of Capitalization found in associated
charities routine, the technique and
spirit of this department are in accord
with the best modern practice implied
in the modernly preferred title, depart
ment of social work
This practice is nowhere better epit-
omized than in the well known slo-
gans Help the poor, not in their pow
erty, but out of it, and the other Not
aims, but a friend"
Let it be remembered that the good
people of the city, in accepting and
welcoming department of social work,
at the same time accept and welcome
their part of the task-the rendering of
their full measure of active good will,
which the department must help to
unity and make effective. Many are
already giving this full measure, but
not everyone is yet acquainted with the
fact that he or she is needed.
To this end let us suggest these three
forms of service: Sewing and home
teachers Of sewing; motor service both
in and out of town; homes for children,
free and paid, temporary and perma-
nent.
For details, those who are willing to
render any form Of service will please
communicate with Miss Gridley, social
worker, city building Office hours, 5
to 8 a. m, 4 to 5 p. M, except Thurs
days Phone 745,
Please consider this a personal APP
peal and respond promptly.
