This was brought about by the in-
 formation contained in a letter re-
 ceived by Maj. Charles J. Allison. clerk
 of the United States court and presi-
 dent of the local association, from an army officer there. The officer stated
 that all bodies of soldiers were being
 removed from their original resting places and transferred to one of the
 three cemeteries which the French gov
 ernment had prepared for the Ameri-
 cans. They are the Romange, Belleau Wood and Surrenes
 Members of the association are of the opinion that since these bodies are be- ing gathered at the general headquar- ters and placed in different caskets before being inferred in the large cemeteries, 1t would be much easier to send them direct to the United States. This, it is pointed out, would eiimi- nate a great deal of trouble and work, for if they are buried in one of the large French cemeteries they will have to be removed when the government starts bringing the bodies home, which is scheduled to start about Septem Der 15.
 Some of these bodies have been dis inferred three and four times, accord | ing to information received by Major i Allison, but with the exception of three,
