Bodies OF Brave Lads
TO Be Brought Home

Within the next six months the
bodies Of 400 soldiers who lost
their lives overseas will be brought
to Colorado for permanent burial.
The American Legion has started
a movement to raise the necessary
funds to give each hero the proper
funeral rites, and is cause which
will, no doubt, meet with univer-
sal favor. The government bears
the expense of bringing the bodies
from overseas, and will send sol
dier escort to accompany each
fallen soldier to his own home.
Denver is making preparations
to honor her dead, and according
to A. O. Brown, member of the re-
lief committee of the Leo Legion
post, American Legion, of that
city, they really need about $1,000
to carry out their plans. Mr..
Brown says also if they cannot get
an appropriation from the city,
they will make an effort to raise
the money by popular subscrip-
tions. This is a cause worthy of
all we can possibly do, and each
city in Colorado which has dead
heroes overseas will unquestion-
ably do its part in the burial of the
boys who fell on the battle fields
of France, fighting bravery for the
country they loved. 1t is the least
we can do.
The efforts of the government in
bringing the bodies to their own
homes shonld meet with appreci-
alton from every Colorado citizen,
whether one of the dead is a MEM
ber Of our immediate family or
that of our neighbor.
