Chaplain Says Undertakers Be-

Kin Willing to Leave Dead on
Field of Honor.

Washington, JAM 15.-Bishop Chas.
H. Brent, senior chaplain with the
American expeditionary forces in
France, has addressed an open letter
to Secretary Baker and the next of
kin of the American dead in France,
regarding the return of the bodies of
American soldiers who fell overseas.
The letter was made public today by
the American Field of Honor asso-
citation, which is opposing the move
ment for the wholesale return of the
bodies, and follows charges presented
in the senate and house that the
movement is being fostered by under
takers for their personal profit.
."America,H wrote Bishop Brent,

resting place of our dead is, to be-
whether in France or in this country.
No one will dispute the right of parenI
or wife to claim the fulfillment of the

bodies of our dead soldiers. But it
is conceivable that there are those
who, after learning the plan to estab-
lish and maintain in France an Amer

forever overseas may consider this
the more excellent way.
"a bill to incorporate the movement
has already been presented to con-
