concerned, will remain overseas IN the
Fields of Honor"
Though removal of bodies from the
zone of the armies, where more tnan
of the American dead are
| buried. is now prohibited by a Minis
terial decree, the Graves registration
Service Is carrying on its WORK OF
Identification and concentration there.
, From more than 5000 isolated sim
gle graves and from about 2,4OO
small burial plots the bodies oil our
men have been concentrated into less
than 600 locations.
Reference to isolated graves was
made in n statement from the Office
of the quartermaster general on April
s, which said:
Some relatives insist on having the
bodies of their dead remain where
they were first buried. Necessarily
the decision adopted by the Wal De-
/ partment places the responsibility Tor
the concession and future mainten-
ance of the graves thus remaining
scattered throughout France n
England upon the relatives of the de-
! ceased. The better plan would be Tor
the relatives of the deceased to per-
nit the War Department to place
these bodies at its expense in our per-
/ manent cemeteries in France, where
they will be under government control
and maintenance without there being
any evNense whatever attaching TO
the rel1tlves of tho soldier dead"
The method followed in taking up
the bodies of American soldiers Tor
return to their native soil IS described
in q local paper of Stamford, Eng
land, from which place several bodies
We're removed in the following way:

Each body was carefully wrapper
in a khaki sheer and lifted into a zlac

was PINNED TO the Sheet. and the
whole was draped N whl.e narerial.
a domed metal lid was then placcc
on the shell and hesmeti ally seale1
down. Each shell wa afterwards en-
closed in a beautiful polished walnut
coffin which was placed In n stout
wooden packing place ready for trans

! close at hand and into this each case
was lifted and the vehicle then left
! direct for Southampton, from which
ort the collins are being shipped.
on arrival the collins will be ready
for immediate roburial."
1t is estimated that each body
brought back will cost about $500
and each interment in the Field OF
Honor abroad will cost from 5000 to
$3.50, involving a total expenditure OF
Approximately $4,000. 000.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Dis-
interment of $4,000 American soldiers
buried in Europe, and the return OF
the bodies to the United States, is now
waiting on negotiations with the
French government to get permission
to remove the American dead from the
war zone; and a recent War Depart
lment statement said hat as soon as 1t
becomes possible to do the work pre-
lliminary to the actual transfer of the
bodies designated for return to this
country will begin.
The United States will bring back
to this country free of charge all the
soldier dead whose relatives request
such action, and in reply to some 49,
600 queries sent to relatives of SOL
diers buried abroad, $4,000 replies
were received requesting return of the
bodies to this country. 1880 replies
asked that bodies remain in the coun-
try where the soldier is now buried,
and there were 800 requests
for reburials in countries other than
the United States. In the remaining
cases where no replies were received
the bodies will be left in the large
American cemeteries in France. Bel
GUM or the British Isles.
All bodies of American soldiers
buried in Germany or Luxembourg are
to be removed, whether or not re-
quest is made, and will either be re-
turned to this country or permanently
buried in France. The Graves Regis
tration Service, a branch of the
quartermaster corps, shows the FOL
lowing interments of American sol
diers abroad:

make the automobile pay for the
trouble and expense. it has brought
into the world, and especially in, the
good state of Minnesota. Ia
Some people have also formed an
other wrong impression in their
minds, and that is that it means only
one road in our county, or only one
system in the state. This is also all
wrong, in that it just means the very
opposite, as it makes available the
state and county funds now spent on
our present state highways for con-
struction and maintenance purposes,
for use on other highway leading
away from the state road and into
the country in every direction, That
is the second unit in the SYSTEM

unit. .. ,,:.,':z ~
In a short period Of time, let us
say for instance in twenty years
time, we venture to say that every
mile of road in our state will either
be gravelled or paved, and, that we
will have money to burn, besides, if
our legislature should let the present
proposed legislation stay in power.
ANY man or woman who loves their
home on par with themselves, must
also love their home community,
county and state, and this must in
clude their roads, schools and
churches, if they are people who be-
lieve in progress and progressive
measures, and believe in living, let
live, and show their spirit Of good
faith to all concerned.

oped area, few automobiles and large
