aapi GUARD AGAINST $ ,
 COMMER ERCIALISM

Paris. August sNIn I onrder Eto ne vent any commercial encroachment upon Romagne cemetery, where 2s,- 900 American soldiers are buried, the French government, has been asked by the American Army Graves Registra / ton Service authorities to spurchas' the gentle slope facing the front of the cemetery, and the entire crest of the hill occupied in part by the eeme- tery, as well as plots at both sides.
 The Romagne, Suresnes, and Bel leau Woods cemeteries have been ap- proved by the Secretary of War as the permanent resting places of more
 than 30,000 soldier dead who will continue to sleep in French soil.
 Suresnes, which is on the slope of
 Mont Valerien. one of the forts built
 to defend Paris. is already protected
 against encroaehment of any sort and
 the same is nearly true of Belleau Woods.
 The extra ground to be purchased at Romagne will not only safeguard the cemetery against any encroach- l n1ent but will provide areas which l will be used by American horticultural experts to surround the hallowed 1 spot with trees and shrubbery. At the 1 present time the cemetery is sur rounded only with a long wall, ana 1 there is no available space for plant l ing
 1 The Identification of the cemetery
 will not begin for some months as l most of the bodies in the cemetery 1 now are to be removed to America | and this work will not start until mid. September and cannot be finished un- I til sometime next year. After thii ] work is finished bodies from othel cemeteries will be moved in.

Philadelphia, Aug. = The return of shipyards located along the Della ware River to a competitive basis of operation rather than that of obtain ing contracts through the government is being reflected in the labor market
 Many men who made big wages in these yards have returned to the trades they followed before the war. In consequence there has been a noticeable easing of the labor market Workers are being shifted from one department of the plants to another as various contracts are closed. At the yard of the New York Shipbuild- ing Corporation only four torpedo boats are on the ways out of the great fleet built there.
