chased for that purpose. The re-
port deals at length with arrange
ments for acquisition, location and
preparation of these.
The report refers to charges that
the motive behind the proposal for
return of the soldier dead was "the
propaganda of the undertakers and
coffin makers" and the further
charges that activating the move
ment to keep the bodies abroad
was the hope of the French to
make their presence, source of
constant and substantial financial
revenue"
Specific and sufficient data, u
says the report, has not yet been
adduced TO indicate that either fear
is borne out in fact 1t adds that
while some underwriters conducted
a movement for the return of the
bodies, they were repudiated by
the recognized association of rep
utable funeral directors and that
''it is not true that there exists in
France any generally prevalent ef-
fort to capitalize financially Amer
lean burial places"
Mr.. Hayes recommended that the
permanent fields of honor be located
at Romangne Belleaux and Suresnes
in France, the dead to sleep there
without segregation into distinc-
tive locations on the basis of rank"
Headstones and markers should be-
uniform and erected by the govern
ment on advice of war memorials
council to be composed of repre-
of all interested veteran
and other organizations. Arrange
ments should be made similarly,
he reported, for erection of hosts
houses to accommodate relatives
of the dead who visit the plots.
Describing his visit to all the
points where American dead now
lie, in France, Mr.. Hayes said he
saw many touching evidences Of
the care individual French citizens
and small communities were be-
on the graves.
Objections of the French author
tiles to waving the rigid regula-
tons in force against removal Of
any of the dead of whatever ma
tionality from the military zones
were based on practical reasons,
Mr.. Hayes reported. These includ-
ed unwllingness to discriminate
between Americans and the dead of
other nationalities, more numerous
and much more difficult of identi-
fication; fear of the effect upon an
already BADLY strained civilian
morale" movement of long funeral |
trains would have; uncertainty as
to the hygienic effect so great an
involved; shortage of
railroads in the military zone due
to reconstruction activities.
