Charles II. 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 re-
garding the return OF the bodies of
American soldiers who fell overseas.
The letter was made public today by
the American Field of Honor assOcia-
tion, which is opposing the movement
for wholesale return Of the bodies and
follows charges presented in the sen
ate and house that the movement is
being fostered by undertakers for their
personal profit
America" wrote Bishop Brent, has
left to the nearest of kin in each case
what the final resting place of our
dead is to be-whether in France or
in this country. No one will dispute
the right of parent or wife to claim the
fulfillment of hte promise made by
the American government to return to
America the bodies of our dead sol
diers. But it is conceivable that those
who, after learning the plans to es-
tablish and maintain in France an
American Field Of Honor for those who
are forever overseas may consider
this the more excellent way.
a bill to incorporate the movement
has already been presented to con-
gress and is to be reintroduced short
~. There viii be an American central
field of honor with as many depart
ments as may be necessary. Here
each year on an appointed day COM
memoration of the dead win be OBJ
served. Over all the sehltering folds
of the stars and Stripes win forever
wave.
Those Of US who l1ave given for
more than a year of careful considera-
tion to the American Field of Honor
are moved by single-minded purpose.
1t is the work of love carried through
by a sense of reverence for that sacred
dust which though mingled with the
soil of France is due. 1t would pre-
serve as far as may be the comrade-
ship of the war among these who met
common fate. 1t would express to
all who are bereaved the undying
value of the sacrifice made.
