General Pershing in a cablegram
to the war department has expressed
the opinion the bodies OF American
soldiers who died abroad should be lett
near where they fell. Il believe that
could these soldiers speak for them
selves. they would wish to be left un-
disturbed where, with their comrades,
they fought the last fight" General
Pershing said. Those who rest In
England gave their lives in the same
cause and their remains represent the
same salvation as those who lie on the
battlefields. The graves OF our soldiers
constitute, If they are allowed 10 re-
main, a perpetual reminder OF our
Allies of the liberty and Ideals upon
which the greatness OF America Ieses;
I think the sentiments above outlined
are held by many who have given
this subject thought. These sentl-
ments should appeal to the relatives
and friends. / recommend that none
of our dead be removed from Europe
unless their nearest relatives so de-
mand after a full understanding OF
all the sentimental reasons against
such removal and further recommend
that immediate steps be taken Tor per
manently improving and beautlfying
our cemeteries.
