cans who lie in French soil. The meeting
was called by Mrs. Mabel Fonda Gareis-
sen, of No. 610 West Hath street, and was
held IN tho First Field Artillery Armory.
1t was the protest of Mrs. Gareissen that
aroused several members of Congress to
oppose the fourteen bills calling for the
return Of the bodies. She charged the
bring home -the-soldier dead movement
was unwittingly supported by propaganda
and a lobby of an undertakers' association.
Colonel Edward Olmsted spoke at the
meeting in place of Major General John
F Organ, who was unable to attend.
Colonel Olmsted was assistant chief OF
staff of the Twenty-seventh Division and
had general supervision Of the burial of
the dead. General Organ, as commander
Of the New York division, some time ago
came out strongly ir opposition to the
movement to return the bodies. Colonel
Olmsted specified many Of the reasons.
Many of the bodies We're so scattered

the battle of the Hindenburg line the only
funeral equipment we had was composed
of shovels and picks. wagons and litters.

there was not enough buriap and blankets
were used. In some cases the dead were
buried only in their uniforms. Then men
were blown to pieces and not buried at ali
or buried in some isolated place and that
place was not found. Once l was present
when twenty -eight OF our boys who died
in a hospital We're buried in one grave-a
trench.

Colonel Omsted,
Mrs. Garessen read a letter from Mrs.
Roosevelt. in which the Presidents widow
enclosed a copy Of the letter her hus-
band had sent to the War Department op-
posing the removal project and saying
he and Mrs. Roosevelt felt ''the tree
should lie where it fell'' A letter from
Mrs. Anderson Fowler, a gold star
mother, in support of the opposition
movement also was read.
Resolutions protesting TO the Secretary
of War were passed, and Mrs. Gareissen
made chairman and Mrs. Roosevelt hon

tion which thus far has not received a

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND never
SUSPECT It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there il one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
lions. The mild and healing infiu-
ence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why SO many appii-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because Kidney trouble is so common
to the American people. and the large
majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, mcdi-
UNI and large.
However. If you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N.
Y, for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention this paper.
