UNDERTAKES not
NEEDED FOR U.S.. DEAD
"BODIES ARE ALL DECAYED,
AND ONLY BONES AND SKULLS
REMAIN" SAY OFFICERS.

PARASITE l knew how we'll the
authorities cared for the bones OF
the American dead in France l would
have never tried to fetch back my
sons body for burial in the United
States,' said Mrs. Angela Devere OF
Chicago to Lieut.. Col. James Harold
of the United States army graves
registration service, who was pres
emit at the Lecanet cemetery, near
Marseilles, when a sailor boys body
was exhumed.
"The poor woman was IN mlser-
able condition, terribly nervous and
continually sobbing," said Colonel
Harold, who has just returned to
Paris. "Her son was buried in pa
iamas in a wooden coffin, which OF
course. rOtted away, so there was
little more than the bones when the
sailor was exhumed."
Laid for Weeks in Open Air;
Are Only Skeletons Now.
In the opinion of the officials of
the graves registration service at
Paris, Washington is making a big
mistake in sending to France barrels
of embalming fluid and scores OF
embalmers and undertakers to pre-
serve bodies for shipment to the Unit
ed States.
"AlI there is left of ninety per
cent of the American bodies is
bones" said a United States army
official who is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the situation and assisted IN
exhumation of the bodies which have
been concentrated in large ceme-
teries. practically every Ameri-
can who fell in action is only skel-
eton now. Those bodies were
wrapped only in blankets and buried,
and a wear ago, when we were gath
ering up the bodies, putting them
all together in the cemeteries, there
was nothing left except bones ana
skull. All those bodies had laid at
least a week, many for month,
practically in the open air, during
he terrific Argonne fighting before
-bev were even put under ground.
IJndertakers Not Needed.
Meantime the rani, mud and warm
moist weather decomposed the bod.
es rapidly. "There is no need OF
1ndertakers and embalming fqid or
ambalmers to handle the eXhuma-
ions in France. All relatives can
expect are a few rotted bits OF /
.Iothing and a skull and bones. A
warning should be issued that the
.offins Containing these CHASTITY relics
should not be opened when they ar
i've in America"

QUESTION OF 1920 CROP.

cotton acreage for 1920 will be one
of the important subjects for dis

ment made here today at the national
headquarters of the association. Care
fully prepared statistics covering
the question of exports. credits, spin
die capacity and other features will
be prepared and presented to the con-
ference.
"Before planning for the cotton
crop this year let every grower stop,
look and listen before plunging head
long into a condition which may lead
to disaster" said Hon. Harvie Jor--
dan. national campaign director OF
the American Cotton Association, To-
day.
It is stated here that when the
United States government recently
issued it's ultimatum that no further
foreign loans would be permitted a
situation was created that immedi-
ately resulted in a checking of Amerl-
can exports by the allied countries.
Millions of operating cotton splndles
which were active before the war
have been destroyed or are idle be-
cause of the absence of raw mate
rial, capital and labor. These are
factors, according to cotton officials
here, which must be considered by
the cotton growers in preparing for
the production of crop of cotton
this year.

which is materially in excess of the
ability of existing active spindles to
consume, the price of cotton will
fall to poverty values under the in n,

SENATORS RECEIVE
MANY PROPOSALS
SEVEN BACHELORS ARE HAVING
HARD TIME DODGING LEAP
YEAR BOQUETS.

WASHINGTON-This is leap year:
And the Prince of Wales, who is SAID
to be enjoying an epistolary pursuit
bv American girls, has nothing on the
seven senate bachelors when it comes
to wooing methods. Since the season
was ushered in when the fair sex is
proverbially permitted to assume the
sutton role, the owe Are Seven
group has been deluged with pro
posals. Every mail, almost, brings
daintily tinted and delicately scented
billet doux to these spouseless solons.
Some of the missives are frankly
high voltage love letters in which the
fair authors make no effort to con-
ceal the fact that their object is mat
rimony. Cleverly camoufiaged coquet-
ery by way of alluring descriptions
of their pulchritude and personal
charms mark the addresses and sweet
Establishments of others. Often
pictorial view of the feminine philan-
derer in a particularly fetching pose
is enclosed as corporeal evidence OF
her Venus like graces. Others con-
tain love tokens such as curly brown
locks. Sometimes row OF ks, the
ancient method of representing oScu-
lation, is postscripted.
"Object Matrimony."
The princes press agent is respo,n-
sible for the statement that the
Young scion's American mail pouch
runs something like $4,000 letters
weekly. However, it is said that that
many of these letters are from
cranis. Judging by the number OF
letters with "object matrimonyn re-
ceived by the senate bachelors there
are few pretty American girls with
disengaged hearts left to WOO the
iaunty young nobleman.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
is the senate's leading bachelor. He
is called the leading bachelor SIM
plv because his ability in lodging te-
males with matrimonial designs has
permitted him to enjoy single bless
edness a greater number of years
than his unwed colleagues.
