BURY YANKS NU. s.,
WARNOTHERS URGE
Resolution Asking That Bodies
Be Sent Home Adopted
BY Convention.

Before adjourninE their second an
nual convention at the Willard Hotel
this morning, the American War
Mothers adopted a resolution calling
for the return Of the bodies OF Ameri-
can soldiers in France to their native
soil. They also urged the placing of
naval and army nurses on an equal
basis and indOrsed a petition to be
submitted to Congress recommending
that a small working capital be grant
ed discharged service men.
The. association also, after a hard
fight, succeeded in having stricken
the word white" from their consti-
tuition. with regard to admittance OF
members, which opens thel ranks to
the colOred war mothers of the cOun-
try,
The resolution calling for the bring
ing back Of the bodies of American
heroes who gave their lives "oveF
there was adopted following a gen
eraI discussion Of the project.
Some mothers expressed opposition
to such an idea, declaring that "T5
per cent of the mothers whose sons
died in France agree with Mrs.
Roosevelt that their boys pho had
fought and died in fOreiGh lands
should continue to rest there"
Want Them Back.
But this opinion seemed to be in
favor: They are our boys; they be-
long to US, and We want them home
We sent them to France, and they
gave up their lives. and the least
thing the Government can do is to
give US back their bodies"
A petition calling upon Congress TO
present discharged veterans of the
war with $500 as a working capital,
was drafted.
The resolution recommending that
navy nurses be placed on the same
scale as the army nurses, was passed
by large majority. 1t was stated
that the navy nurse have to buy
their uniforms while the army nurses
arc furnished theirs, although they
both arc paid the same salaries.
Twelve prominent speakers ad-
dressed the mothers today, among
them being Justice Walter !. Mccoy,
whose son is buried in France.
The organization tabled d rcsoIu-
tiOn asking that American soldiers
now policing foreign countries be re-
turned as soon 5 possible. The ma
jOTity of delegates believe the Gov
crnment is best fitted TO decide on
the issue.
Another resolution passed supports
the American Legion and expresses
hope for its continued success.

The LATEST Of birds is the frog
mouth. He sleeps all day. and at
night, instead Of flying about In search
Of food, he sits on a limb and literally
waits for the insects to come and feed
him. He is such Q sound sleeper that
you can push him OF his perch with
a stick and not wake him. He iphab-
it's Australia and the islands Of the
Indian ocean. IN size the frogmouth
resembles the whippoorwiil. and gets
his name from his wide mouth, which
serves as his Insect trap. Too lazy
to fly for his food. like other birds, he
crawls along the limb Of a tree, open
ing his wide mouth and swapping It
shut, catching what flies and gnats
come within his range. 1t night he
perches with his mate on the roofs Of
houses, on fences. or stunnps. Only
after the sun goes down does he show
any inclination to move about.
