THE AMERICAN
WAR SOLDIERS
BURIED FRANCE
WILL BE EXHUMED AND BROU-
CHIT BACK TO THEIR NATIVE
LAND ANY TIME AFTER
SEPTEMBER Is.
Associated Press

PARIS, May Representative OF
the American War department here
estimate that about 60 per cent of the
American soldiers buried in France
will be exhumed and taken back tt
their native land. A little more thar
$1,000 American burials have beer
registered by the Graves Registration
Service and about II 900 of these are
in France.
Not all of these soldiers will be re-
turned to American soil as the United
States War Department proposes to
carry back to America only those re-
quested by their next kin. This policy
will result in leaving in France those
whose next of kin ask that they be
left here and those whose removal is
not requested. 1t is understood also
that the unidentified American dead
will be left in France
Decision by the Franco-American
Commission that bodies of American
soldiers buried in the zone of military
operations may be eXhumed anytime
after September Is next ends long
period Of negotiations between French
and American authorities. The French
government desired to meet the wish
es of the American nation but enter
tanned serious doubts as to the advis-
ability of removing the American
dead from the zone of operations this
year owing to labor and transporta-
ticn difficulties involving the passing
of the bodies over the railways and
highways at time when the French
population was in the first stage of
its recovery from the economic and
sentimental strain of five years of
war. The French government feared
that the granting of such permission
te America woalds Bring on clanlorous
liar permission and that this would
hamper the rehabilitation of French
industrial conditions.
American officers, however, have
urged that the number of
in the zone of operations
was relatively small; that the tradi-
tional policy of the United States was
to return its dead from foreign soil
and that the American government
could do 10 less than heed the pleas
of those next of kin who insisted that

Continued Rains
Damaging Crops

The continued rains in this section
are proving disastrous to the crop
prospects for both cotton and corn
and the outlook is rather gloomy just
now.
The corn acreage is unusually small
and poor stands are reported in many
places.
The cotton acreage is also great
ly reduced, due to the fact that the
farmers have been handicapped in
planting on account of the bad wealth
er, and further because of perhaps
Is to 20 per cent. of the low lands
being covered with water by overflow
from the rivers and smaller streams.
A great deal of the cotton planted
failed to come up and will necessar-
lily have to be replanted, provided the
farmers can get planting seed and
suitable weather appears in which to
plant them.
The Yazoo and Tallahatchie Riv-
ers are at higher stage now than
they have been at any time within
twenty-five years with the single eX-
ception of one year.

SHANGHAIIS
BANDlT-RiDDEN
And Torn With Strife OF Five Opos-
ing Governing Factions Beyond Con-
troll OF Canton Government.
Associated Press

SHANGHAI, May 7 Szechuen
most populous of China's provinces
with extensive and varied resources
and almost unlimited areas of soil OF
the greatest productivity, is bandit
ridden and is torn with the strife of
five opposing governing factions that
seemingly are beyond the control of
the Canton government to which Sze-
chuen is supposed to pay allegiance.
This is the report brought to Shang-
hal by foreigners who have recently
been travelling in the province.
The country along all the main
highways, according to these reports,
is overrun with bands of armed out
laws and it is only possible for the
foreigners to travel these by-ways in
any degree of safety by first buying
protection and immunity from moles-
tation from bandit leaders who con-
troll the various areas. When the
traveller asks for an armed guard
this is provided for consideration.
This guard must be changed when
the traveller enters the area controlled
by another military official
By following this procedure, trav-
elers from the province say, the way
farer is ordinarily safe, but it hap
pens sometimes that the spheres of
control of the leaders overlap and ira
velers who have bought protection in
one area are at times attacked by
bandits whose leaders have not been
appeased.
The consideration required to
provide a guard for traveller is not
particularly heavy, as it is said to be
about so cents a day per guard. Or
dinarily travellers who do fall into the
hands of outlaws do not suffer bodi-
ly harm, but it is not uncommon for
native servants to be murdered and
cases exist in which foreigners have
been taken and held for ransom.
Chengtu, capital of the province of
Szechuen, is reached by journey of
about $500 miles up the Yangtsze
river from Shanghai to Hankow and
Ichang, thence through the famed
Yangtsze gorges to Chunking and fin
ally by sedan chair ride of from ten
to IA days through the high mount
aims of the country that lies between
Chunking and Chentgu.

settlement of the Lancashire strike,
Liverpool showed better tone today
with futures to Is higher than due.
Spot prices 20 up, sales 1000 bales.
New York will be closed on Satur-
day, May 29th, and Monday the 31st.
Map shows partly cloudy to fair the
Eastern half of the belt, no rain of
consequence, but generally cloudy the
Western half of the belt with general
precipitation except the Southern
third of Texas. Indications are for
partly cloudy in the belt except un-
settled in the Southwestern quarter
where rains will concentrate during
the next SO hours. These rains in the
West greatly improve the crop situa-
ton and besides hold the meaning of
consequential extension of cotton
acreage.
Advices from New York and Chica-
go are to the effect that the public
economy campaign is showing it's eff
feet by reduced buying volume and
more general reduction in prices by
wholesale establishments.
On reactionary turn in the mar
ket the difference in July new crops
widened as was logical to expect.
Exports this day last year were 54,-
900 bales. Today for the week prom
ise smaller than last year and chan
ces are that weekly comparisons will
be less favorable for the rest of the

LIQUOR HIDDEN
INSIDE OF TABLE
Negro Woman Has Clever Method OF
COncealing GOsh-Fined In Court
This Morning.

Officer Tom Chapman was baffled
for time last night, when he search
ed the home of Lettie Gidion, ne
gress, where he was positive liquor
was concealed, but he was unable to
locate same. He looked in every nook
and corner of the negroes house with
out finding any intoXicant.
Finally he saw small "stand ta-
ble' built Of new lumber, in one of
the rooms He shook the table and
something inside ratified. The table
was built with a pedestal of about six
inches in diameter. The top was about
twelve inches square. Mr.. Chapman
examined the table carefully but he
could not remove the top. After turn
ing it up side down, he ascertained
that the top was fastened on by a
mail combination" and after turning
this, he was able to remove it. In
side the pedestal was quart of
'gosh" which fit snuggly into space,
undoubtedly prepared for this pur-
pose.
Lettie was taken to Jail and fined
500 and costs this morning by Judge
Hughston on two charges Of selling
liquor and of having same in her pos
session.
Mr.. Chapman arrested West Amos,
negro, coming from the house. of Let
tie, with quart of liquor under his
coat. The search of Lettie's home was
then made.
Amos was fined 500 and costs for
having the "gosh" in his possession.
Both of the negroes are in Jail and
so far have been unable to pay their
fines.
